Results and discussion

Positive control results:
In the first 24 hrs of the challenge test, 4 out of 6 guinea pigs showed positive sensitization reactions to the positive control (DNCB). 48 hrs after the beggining of the test, 3 out of 6 test animals still presented positive reaction to DNCB (Slight patchy mild redness). In order for the test be valid, a minimum of 50% of the animals needed to show a reaction to the positive control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information None of the test animals exhibited a skin sensitization reaction to mmt.
Conclusions:
mmt did not result in dermal sensitization in the Guinea Pig Sensitization Maximization Test.
Executive summary:

The Guinea pig maximization test (Magnusson-Kligman) was performed to test the effect of mmt as a skin sensitizer. The study was performed similar to OECD 406 and EPA Health Effect Test Guidelines EPA 560/6-82-001. The Hartley strain of guinea pigs with a weight range of 300 to 500 grams, males and females, respectively were used in the study. A dose-range-finding study using the concentrations 10, 25, 500 and 100% of mmt, and based on those results, the test substance was dosed as received (100%) since no skin irritation effects were elicited in all the concentrations tested. One week following the intradermal administration, treatment groups were induced topically challenged in the same manner at naive sites. A positive response (Slight patchy mild redness) was elicited in the animals receiving 1 -chloro-2,4 -dinitrobenzene at the challenge period. No responses were observed in the animals receiving mmt or the vehicle control. Based upon the observations made, the mmt did not cause dermal sensitization in guinea pigs.
