Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
Two valid studies for skin sensitization are available. Both studies are suitable for the evaluation of the skin sensitization potential. Due to the higher purity of the substance used in the GPMT, this study is nominated as key study
Non-human information
The skin-sensitization potential of the test substance Vulcuren (purity:
99.7%) was evaluated in a Guinea pig maximization test. The intradermal
induction was performed using 2.5% test substance, and the topical
induction was performed with 25% test substance concentration. The
challenge using 25 % test substance formulation led to no skin effects
in the treatment group and control group after 48 and 72 hours.
In summary, by comparing the results in the treatment group and in the
control group the test substance did not show a skin-sensitization
potential (Bayer 1999).
Human information
There are no human data available.

- Remarks:
- The Guinea Pig Maximization Test methodology was checked for reliability in a test on female guinea pigs using alpha-Hexylzimtaldehyd formulated in polyethylene glycol 400 at the concentrations indicated below: For the intradermal induction a 2.5% test item formulation was used, and for the topical induction a 25% formulation. After the challenge with a 12% test item formulation 50% of the test animals exhibited dermal reactions in the challenge treatment. There was no reddening of the skin to be observed on control group animals. The sensitivity as well as the reliability of the experimental technique is thus confirmed by this study.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Executive summary:
The skin-sensitization potential of the test substance Vulcuren Trial Product KA 9188 was evaluated in a Guinea pig maximization test. The intradermal induction was performed using 2.5% test substance, and the topical induction was performed with 25% test substance concentration. The challenge using 25 % test substance formulation led to no skin effects in the treatment group and control group after 48 and 72 hours. In summary, by comparing the results in the treatment group and in the control group the test substance did not show a skin-sensitization potential (Bayer 1999).
Reference
Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 25 %
Signs of irritation during induction:
After the intradermal induction the animals in the control
group showed after 48 h: white wheals with red surrounding or red wheals.
The animals in the test item group showed after 48 h:
Red surrounding at the injection sites or white wheals with
red surrounding or red wheals.
The animals in the control group and the test item group
showed after 7 days: wheals or encrustations.
At day 9, directly after removal of the patch of the second
induction, the treatment area of the second induction showed
skin effects (grade 1) in 3 of 10 animals in the test item
group and no skin effects in the control group.
Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: None
Other observations: None
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
