- Day(s) of challenge: day 28
- Exposure period: 6 h
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1
- Site: right flank
- Concentrations: 100 mg moistened in 0.1 ml

OTHER: skin reaction were scored according to Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.
The following observations were made during experimental period:
- clinical signs of toxicity and mortality: all the animals were observed once daily for clinical signs of toxicity and twice daily for mortality/morbidity during the experimental period.
- body weight: individual animal body weight was recorded at receipt and on day 1 (before start of the treatment) and at termination for the pre study and main study animals.
- pathology
a. necropsy: at the end of the observation period, all the animals were humanely sacrificed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation, subjected to necropsy and gross pathological examination and the observations were recorded.
b. histopathology: no gross pathological changes were observed during the necropsy, thus histopathology was not carried out.
Challenge controls:
0.1 ml of distilled water
Positive control substance(s):
no
Remarks:
the reliability of the skin sensitisation was tested using 2-mercaptobenzothiazole in another study.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The positive control test was valid.

Clinical signs of toxicity and mortality

No clinical signs of toxicity and mortality were observed in both the pre-study and main study animals.

Skin reactions scoring

No erythema and oedema were observed in G1 group animals at any of the doses tested approximately at 24 and 48 hours after patch removal in pre-study.

No erythema and oedema were observed in both the vehicle control (G2) and treatment group (G3) animals in all the induction phases approximately at 1 and 24 hours observation after patch removal in main study.

No skin reactions were observed in both the vehicle control (G2) and treatment group (G3) animals in challenge phase approximately at 24 hours and 48 hours observations after patch removal in main study.

     

Body weight

No treatment related change in body weight and percent change in body weight with respect to day 1 in any of the animals. All the animals showed physiologically normal increase in body weights in pre study and main study.

Necropsy

No gross pathological changes were observed in any of the animals in pre study and main study.

Executive summary:

Method

Buehler test on Guinea pig according to OECD guideline 406.

In the pre-study, concentrations of 25 %, 50 %, 75 % and 100 % w/v were applied topically to the right flank of each animal. No skin reactions were observed in any of test concentrations approximately at 24 and 48 hours observation period after patch removal. As no skin reactions were seen, the highest concentration was selected for induction and challenge phase of main study.

The main study comprised a vehicle control group and a treatment group. Main study included 3 inductions on day 0, 7 and 14 and challenge on day 28.

On induction day 0, 7 and 14, 0.1 ml of distilled water and 100 mg of test item moistened with 0.1 ml of distilled water were applied topically on flank region. On challenge day 28, 0.1 ml of distilled as well as 100 mg of test item moistened with 0.1 ml of distilled water were topically applied on the flank of all the animals. Test patches were covered by approximately 4×6 cm2 cotton gauze and held in place with non-irritating adhesive tape and crepe bandage. After 6 hours of contact period, application sites were cleaned with normal saline swabs and dried. During induction phase, test item application sites were observed for skin reactions approximately at 1 and 24 hours post removal of test patches according to Draize method (1959) and during challenge phase the skin reactions were observed approximately at 24 and 48 hours post removal of the test patch according to Magnusson and Kligman grading scale.

All the animals were observed once daily for clinical signs of toxicity and twice daily for mortality/morbidity during the experimental period. Individual animal body weight was recorded at receipt and on day 1 (before start of the treatment) and at termination for the pre study and main study animals.

Results

In induction phase, no skin reactions were observed in vehicle control and treatment group animals approximately at 1 and 24 hours of observation period of post patch removal.

In challenge phase, animals did not reveal any skin reactions in both vehicle control and treatment groups approximately at 24 and 48 hours of post patch removal.

No clinical signs of toxicity and mortality were observed till termination. All treated animals revealed physiologically normal increase in body weights during the observation period.

No gross pathological changes were seen at necropsy in any of the animals.
