MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: Intradermal induction and epidermal induction
- Test groups: 10 animals, TS
- Control group: animals treated with vehicle
- Concentrations: 1% dilution of the test substance in arachis oil was used for intradermal induction and 100% used for epidermal induction


B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Test groups: 10 animals, TS
- Control group: 5, treated analogous to the test groups
- Concentrations: 50% and 75% solution in arachis oil
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde, 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Reliability checks had been performed 2 times a year with 10 test and 5 control animals using alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde and 2-Mercaptobenzothiazole as positive control substances confirming the sensititvity of the used animal strain.

Ed: Edema

Er: Erythema

Positive controlls were in the range of the historical controls.

No deaths occured. No significant differences in the gain of body weight was observed between treatment and control group.

A transient challenge reaction (discrete erythema) was observed in one animal of the test group at 24 h observation with desquamation at the 48 h observation. The erythema was not apparent at the 48 h observation and therefore not attributed to contact sensitization
