Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
26 February - 8 April 1976
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The study is non-GLP, but well described except for ommissions in experimental conditions like temperature and humidity.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Landsteiner and Jacobs Guina pig sensitization procedure. The method included ten sensitizing injections (three times weekly) followed by an eleventh (re-test) injection.
GLP compliance:
no
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Result are from a study performed in 1976, i.e. before the LLNA requirement.
Species:
guinea pig
Strain:
not specified
Sex:
male
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
Body weights: 300-500 grams.
Cages: Commercial rabbit pellets and fed with greens, carrots and water.
No further data on test conditions.

No. of animals per dose:

Details on study design:
Injections were performed three times weekly until a total of ten had been applied. The first injection contained 0.05 ml, while the other nine were each 0.1 ml. An eleventh injection was applied as challenge below the area of the ten sensitization injections. Twenty-four hours after each injection, scorings were performed for the diameter, height and redness of the reactions. A comparison of the reaction following the challenge injection was made with the average score for the sensitizing injections. Substantial increase in response after challenging indicates a possible significant sensitization.

Conclusions:
On the challenge injection, none of the test animals exhibited reactions higher than the average of the original scores. Although the test method is not equivalent to the method described in international guidelines, the total lack of response indicates that the test material is not sensitizing.
Executive summary:

CERAPHYL® 31 (15% active) was not a sensitizer to guinea pig skin. Ten white male guinea pigs were treated using intracutaneous injections of 0.1% CERAPHYL® 31 (15% active) three times a week for a total of ten injections. The first injection was 0.5 ml and the remaining injections were 0.1 ml. Sterile saline was used as the control and the same amounts as test material were injected. Two weeks following the tenth injection, all animals were challenged with 0.05 ml CERAPHYL® 31 on a virgin site. The test sites were scored 24 hours after each injection. No dermal reactions were exhibited during either the induction phase or challenge phase of the study.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

High molecular lactate esters appear to be non-sensitizers. Myristyl lactate was not a sensitizer to guinea pig skin.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Conclusively, myristyl lactate is not a skin sensitizer and is not classified as such. Due to a lack of data, no conclusive decision can be made regarding respiratory sensitization. However, considering the rather low vapor pressure, exposure through inhalation is an unlikely route.
