- Preparation of test concentrations
The following vehicles were used:
- Freund's Complete Adjuvant (Behringwerke AG, Marburg)
- isotonic saline (sterile, pyrogen-free; Fresenius AG, Bad Homburg)
Freund's Complete Adjuvant was mixed immediately before use with an equal volume of physiological saline. This 50% adjuvant solution was administered to the animals by intradermal injection.
For the dermal and intradermal treatments, Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B was applied in isotonic saline [percentages w/v].
For the intradermal injections of the test substance in 50 %Freund's adjuvant, Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B was diluted with isotonic saline and then mixed with an equal volume of Freund's Original Adjuvant [percentages w/v].
The concentrations for the maximisation test cannot be standardised. Suitable concentrations are established in preliminary tests. The selected concentration of the test substance depends on the individual phases of the study.
Determination of the primary non-irritant concentration
In a dermal-occlusive test for primary skin irritation, each of the following test concentrations was applied to the left flank of two guinea pigs:
25% in isotonic saline
5% in isotonic saline
1 % in isotonic saline
The hair on the left flank of the animals was removed mechanically. 0.5 ml of the test substance preparation was applied to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch, which was then fixed to the left flank and covered occlusively for 24 hours with a bandage and film. 24 hours after removal of the patches, the treated skin areas were examined for erythema and oedema.
Determining of the tolerance of intradermal injections
To determine the tolerance of intradermal injections, each of the following preparations was administered twice by intradermal injection to 3 guinea pigs. The injection sites (sites 1, 2 and 3) were all within a dorsal area measuring 2 x 4 cm in the vicinity of the shoulder.
Site appl. vol. (ml) conc. (%) vehicle
1 2 x 0.1 5.0 isotonic saline
2 2 x 0.1 1.0 isotonic saline
3 2 x 0.1 0.2 isotonic saline
The injection sites (site 1, 2 and 3) were all within a dorsal area measuring 2 x 4 cm in the vicinity of the animals’ shoulder.
Main test for sensitising properties
Chronological description of the test procedure indicating the day, at which procedure was carried out:
Day 0
The body weights of animals were determined.
The guinea pigs were shaved mechanically over a dorsal area of 4 x 6 cm in the vicinity of the shoulders.
Day 1
Intradermal induction treatment
Two intradermal injections per animal of the following preparations.
The injection sites (site 1, 2 and 3) were all within a dorsal area of 2 x 4 cm. The injection sites were left uncovered.
Treated group:
Site 1: 2 x 0.1 ml 50% Freund's Adjuvant
Site 2: 2 x 0.1 ml 5 % solution of test substance in isotonic saline
Site 3: 2 x 0.1 ml 5 % solution of test substance in 50% Freund's adjuvant
Control and escort groups:
Site 1: 2 x 0.1 ml 50% Freund's Adjuvant
Site 2: 2 x 0.1 ml isotonic saline
Site 3: 2 x 0.1 ml 50% Freund's Adjuvant
Days 1-7
The application area was examined for local tolerance. Any systemic toxic effects were recorded.
Day 8
Dermal induction treatment
0.5 ml of the test substance preparation or the vehicle was applied to a 2 x 4 cm cellulose patch. This patch covered the area where the intradermal injection had been placed. The application area was then kept for 48 hours under an occlusive bandage with an impermeable film and an elastic bandage.
Treated group: 25% test substance in isotonic saline
Control and escort group: isotonic saline
Day 10
Occlusive bandage removed.
Irritant effects recorded.
Days 11-21
No treatment of control or treated group.
Test animals kept under observation.
Days 15-18
Challenge treatment of escort group, carried out in same way as that of control and treated groups (see days 22- 25).
Day 22
Dermal challenge treatment
One area of approx. 5 x 5 cm on the left flank was shaved mechanically.
0.5 ml of the test substance preparation was applied to a 2 x 2 cm cellulose patch. The application area was then kept for 24 hours under an occlusive bandage with an impermeable film and an elastic bandage.
Treated and control groups (left flank): 25% Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B in isotonic saline
Day 23
Occlusive bandage removed.
Day 24
Skin examined.
Day 25
Skin examined.
Body weights of test animals determined.
Evaluation
Erythema and oedema are major clinical indicators of an allergic reaction. The decisive criterion for evaluation of the sensitising properties of a test substance is the number of sensitised test animals, not the intensity of the dermal reaction.
The substance is considered to be sensitising if 30 % of the animals in the treated group definitely show a positive reaction. - Challenge controls:
- Treatment of the animals with Freund's Adjuvant can lower the threshold value for primary irritation determined in preliminary tests. For this reason, the five animals in the escort group which had been treated with Freund's Adjuvant were treated with 25 % Remazol-Brillantgrün 68 in isotonic saline. As no reactions were observed in these animals, a concentration of 25 % Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B in isotonic saline was chosen for the challenge at day 22.

The skin of none of the treated animals (25%) showed a positive reaction during the observation period after the challenge.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present study, none of ten animals of the treatment group showed a positive skin response after the challenge procedure.
Based on the results of this study Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B showed no evidence for sensitizing properties. - Executive summary:
Testing for sensitizing properties of Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B was performed in female Guinea pigs according to the method of MAGNUSSON & KLIGMAN.
Intradermal induction was performed using 5.0% Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B in isotonic saline. Dermal induction and challenge treatment were carried out with 25% Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B in isotonic saline.
Based on the results of this study there is no evidence for sensitizing properties of Remazol-Brillantgrün 6B.
