Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: Wahlberg, J. E., Boman, A., Guinea Pig Maxirnization Test, in: K. E. Andersen, H. I. Maibach (eds.), Contact Allergy Predictive Tests in Guinea Pig, p. 59-106. S. Karger, Basel (1985)
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
This study was conducted due to non-REACH regulatory requirements. With the existing data from this study this study precludes the need for an additional LLNA study. In addition, a supplementary LLNA study would violate the ECHA objectives with regards to animal welfare.

Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: The topical irritancy of the substances used for induction and challenge was studied by means of a 48-h closed patch test in 4-8 animals. On each animal the compound was applied on three patches on the flank: one near the back, one near the abdomen, and one in the middle.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE (Intradermal and Epicutaneous)

- Exposure period: The testing was performed one week after pretreatment with Freund's complete adjuvant
- Test groups: 24 animals
- Control group: 12 animals
- Concentrations: For intradermal sensitization the test substance was diluted with propylene glycol at 0.25 % w/v a. i. For topical sensitization, 200 μL in ethanol 99.5 % at 0.50 % w/v a. i. was used.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE

- Concentrations: Test substance was tested in ethanol 99.5 % at 0.25 % w/v a. i.
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 h after removal of the patches with unknown criteria and grading

C. Rechallenge
Animals were rechallenged ethanol solutions of equimolar concentrations (0.012 mol/L) of test substance at 0.25 % w/v a. i.
On each patch 30 μL of the test solution was applied.
Challenge controls:
Control group: Control animals only exposed to the suspected sensitizer at challenge.
Vehicle group: Test animals receiving the suspected sensitizer during sensitization but the vehicle alone at challenge.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2-methylol phenol

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Positive control animals sensitized to and challenged with the known sensitizer 2-methylol phenol showed the expected results.
