Interpretation of results:
other: Not sensitising
Conclusions:
Based on the scores of dermal irritation, test substance would not be considered a dermal sensitizer under either EU GHS guidelines or under the EU requirements for dangerous substances and preparations guidelines.
Executive summary:

This data is being read across from the source study that tested Hydrocarbons, C9, aromatics based on analogue read across.

A Hartley dermal sensitization test was conducted on 30 guinea pigs. Following a preliminary irritation test, 15 Hartley guinea pigs were treated by intradermal injection (0.01 mL; 5.0% (w/v) vehicle/MRD-83 -208 or with adjuvant) to induce sensitization and then further sensitized by dermal application of 0.5 ml MRD-83 -208 a week after the intradermal injection. Guinea pigs were challenged two weeks later by topical application (0.5 ml 0.5% MRD-83 -208).

No indication of sensitization was noted.

Based on the scored of dermal irritation, test substance MRD-83 -208 would not be considered a dermal sensitizer under either EU GHS guidelines or under the EU requirements for dangerous substances and preparations guidelines.

INDUCTION EXPOSURE

INTRADERMAL INJECTION (DAY 0)
Site: 3 injections (0.1 ml/injection) on both sides of the spinal cord for a total of 6 paired injections
- Site 1: diluted FCA to both treated and control groups
- Site 2: 5.0% MRD-83-208 diluted in vehicle; and undiluted vehicle to control animals
- Site 3: Concentration: 5.0% MRD-83-208 in diluted FCA (adjuvant); and 5.0% vehicle in diluted FCA to the control group

INDUCTION BY OCCLUSIVE TOPICAL APPLICATION (DAY 7)
Experimental animals received 0.5 ml neat MRD-83-208 over the injection site under an occlusive wrap and held in place for 48 hrs. Control animals received 0.5 ml vehicle.

CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Animals were challenged with either 0.5 ml 0.5% MRD-83-208 in vehicle or just vehicle (control group) that was topically applied to the clipped area on the right flank under an occlusive wrap for 24 hrs.

EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION
Observations for toxicological signs occured immediately after dosing on day 0, 7, 10, 14, 21, and each time dermal observations were made. Body weights were recorded on days 0, 7, 14, 21, and at sacrifice. Dermal evaluations occured 24 hrs after the induction patch was removed (day 10) and 24 and 48 hrs after removal of the challenge patch. Dermal responses were evaluated by the Draize Method.
Challenge controls:
Vehicle controls were used for each of the induction treatments and for the challenge treatment.
Positive control substance(s):
no
