- PREPARATION OF TEST MATERIAL
The test article and vehicle were placed into a glass beaker on a tared Mettler PM 480 balance and weight/weight dilutions were prepared. Homogeneity of the test article in a suitable vehicle was maintained during treatment using a magnetic stirrer. The preparations were made immediately prior to each dosing.
RANGE FINDING TESTS
- No. of animals: 6 females, nulliparous and non-pregnant.
- Weight at study initiation: 342 - 491 g; pretest 355 - 431 g.
- Intradermal injection: injections of 0.1 ml/site were made into the clipped flank of two guinea-pigs at concentrations of 5, 3 and 1 % of the test article in bi-distilled water. The resulting dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later. For intradermal induction application a 5 % test article dilution was selected.
- Epidermal application: both flanks of each of 4 guinea pigs were clipped and shaved just prior to the application. Thereafter 4 patches of filter paper ( 2 × 2 cm) were saturated with the test article at 50 % (this concentration used was found to be the most qualified to assure an optimum technical application procedure), 25 %, 15 % and 10 % of the test article in bi-distilled water and applied to the clipped and shaved flanks. The patches were covered by a strip of aluminum foil and firmly secured by elastic plaster wrapped around the trunk and covered with impervious adhesive tape. This procedure ensured the intensive contact of the test article. The dressings were removed after an exposure period of 24 hours.
- Post-exposure: 21 hours after removal of the dressing the application site was depilated with an approved depilatory cream to clean the application site from staining produced by the test article, so that possible erythema reactions were clearly visible at that time. The depilatory was placed on the patch sites and surrounding areas, and left on for 3-5 minutes. It was then thoroughly washed off with a stream of warm, running water. The animals were then dried with a disposable towel, and returned to their cages.
- Scoring system: the reaction sites were assessed 24 and 48 hours after removal of the bandage for erythema and oedema on a numerical basis according to Draize.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
INTRADERMAL INJECTIONS - APPLICATION ON DAY 1
- No. of exposures: three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml/site) were made.
- Site: an area of dorsal skin from the scapular region (approximately 6 × 8 cm) was clipped free of hair. The injections were made at the border of a 4 × 6 cm area in the clipped region.
- Test groups: application day 1
1) 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline.
2) The test article, diluted to 5 % with bi-distilled water.
3) The test article diluted to 5 % by emulsion in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline.
- Control Group: application day 1
1) 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline.
2) Bi-distilled water
3) 1:1 (w/w) mixture of bi-distilled water a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant and physiological saline
EPIDERMAL APPLICATIONS - APPLICATION ON DAY 8
- No. of exposures:
- Day(s) after first injection: 7 days.
- Site: the scapular area (approximately 6 × 8 cm) was again clipped and shaved free of hair.
- Test groups: a 2 × 4 cm patch of filter paper was saturated with the test article (50 % in bi-distilled water) and placed over the injection sites of the test animals. The patch was covered with aluminum foil and firmly secured by an elastic plaster wrapped around the trunk of the animal and secured with impervious adhesive tape. The epidermal application procedure described ensured intensive contact of the test article.
- Exposure period: the dressings were left in place for 48 hours.
- Control group: the guinea-pigs of the control group were treated as these of test group with bidistilled water only.
- Evaluation: reaction sites were assessed for erythema and oedema 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing, using the numerical grading system according to Draize.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- Day(s) of challenge: 22th, two weeks after the epidermal induction application.
- Site: hair was clipped and shaved from a 5 × 5 cm area on the left and right flank of each guinea-pig just prior to the application.
- Test groups: 2 patches ( 2 × 2 cm) of filter paper were saturated with the highest non-irritating concentration of 15 % (left flank) and the vehicle only (bi-distilled water applied to the right flank), using the same method as for the epidermal application.
- Control group: the test and control guinea-pigs were treated in the same way.
- Exposure period: the dressings were left in place for 24 hours.
- Evaluation: 21 hours after removal of the dressing the test sites treated with the test article were depilated with an approved depilatory cream. When the application sites were clean and any stains from the test article removed the animals were dried with a disposable paper towel and returned to their cages. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after the removal of the dressing the application sites were assessed for erythema and oedema using the numerical scoring system according to Draize.
OBSERVATIONS
In addition to the sensitizing reactions the following observations and data were recorded during the test and observation period:
- viability/Mortality daily during the observation period
- clinical Signs daily during the observation period (local/systemic)
- skin reactions at the times specified during the induction and challenge periods.
- body weights at the beginning of the acclimatization period, at day one and at the termination of the test
PATHOLOGY
Necropsy was performed by experienced prosectors in one animal of the epidermal pretest group and one animal of the test group, which were found dead on test day 21 and 22, respectively.
No necropsies were performed on the animals sacrificed at termination of the observation period.
The surviving animals were sacrificed with an intraperitoneal injection of Narcoren (Rhone Merieux GmbH) at a dose of at least 5.1 ml /kg body weight (equivalent to 810 mg sodium pentobarbitone/kg body weight) and discarded.
POSITIVE CONTROL
The sensibility and reliability of the experimental technique used was assessed by use of substances which are known to have skin sensitization properties in the guinea pig strain. The positive controls were performed with 4-Aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester (testing laboratory project 392051) and 2-mercaptobenzothiazol (testing laboratory project 392231) and ran from 20-Feb-1995 to 23-Mar-1995 and from 06-Mar-1995 to 13-Apr-1995 respectively.
READINGS AND SCORING
The following parameters were recorded:
Erythema (E) - 0 to 4 numerical scores
Oedema (Oe) - 0 to 4 numerical scores
Diameter (D) - mm (for the intradermal pretest)
Erythema and oedema were assessed using the following numerical grading system according to Draize (Draize J.H., Appraisal of the Safety of Chemicals in Foods, Drugs and Cosmetics, Association of Food and Drug Officials of the United States, Austin, Texas, 1959):
Erythema and eschar formation
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to slight eschar formation (injuries in depth) 4
Oedema formation
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimeter) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimeter and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4 - Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- 4-aminobenzoic acid ethyl ester and 2-mercaptobenzothiazol
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- 4-AMINOBENZOIC ACID ETHYL ESTER
In this study 30 % and 35 % of the animals of the test group were observed with positive skin reactions after treatment with a non-irritant test substance concentration of 30 % in mineral oil. No skin reactions were observed in the control group. Therefore the test article at concentration of 30 % in mineral oil is considered to be a sensitizer when described under the test conditions. According to the rating of allergenicity by Magnusson and Kligman the test article is a moderate sensitizer.
2-MERCAPTOBENZOTHIAZOL
In this study 95 % and 90 % of the animals of the test group were observed with positive skin reactions at the 24- and 48-hour reading respectively after treatment with a non-irritant test substance concentration of 5 % in peanut oil. The test article at concentration of 5 % in peanut oil is considered to be a sensitizer when described under the test conditions. According to the rating of allergenicity by Magnusson and Kligman the test article is an extreme sensitizer.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Skin effects after intradermal induction performed on test day 1
A normal evolution of the local symptoms was observed in the animals of the control and test group after the intradermal injections.
Skin effects after epidermal induction performed on test day 8
- Test group: as the test article stained the skin yellow, it was not possible to determine whether erythema was present. However, no oedema was observed.
- Control group: no erythematous or oedematous reaction was observed in the animals treated with bi-distilled water only.
Skin effects after challenge performed on test day 22
No positive reactions were observed in the animals either when treated with bidistilled water alone or when treated with the test article at 15 % in bidistilled water. Yellow discoloration was noted directly after removal of the patch. To remove discoloration all animals were depilated approximately 3 hours prior to challenge reading.
Viability / mortality / macroscopic findings
One animal of the epidermal pretest group and one animal of the test group were found dead on test day 21 and 22, respectively. At necropsy the lungs of the both animals were dark red discoloured.
Clinical signs, systemic
No symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals.
Body weights
One animal of the control group lost incidentally weight during the acclimatization period. No loss of weight was noted during the treatment period.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not classified, according to the CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008)
- Conclusions:
- Non skin sensitizer.
- Executive summary:
Method
To assess the allergenic potential of the test substance in albino guinea pigs the maximization test by B. Magnusson and A.M. Kligman (1969) was used. Ten females were used as control group and 20 females were used as test group as described in OECD guideline 406.
Results
The highest non-irritating test article concentration used for challenge application was 15 % in bidistilled water.
0 % of the animals were positive after treatment with the highest non-irritant test substance concentration of 15 % in bidistilled water.
