Inductionopen allclose all
Route:

Vehicle:
other: Freunds complete adjuvant for anterior sites and distilled water for middle and posterior sites.
Concentration / amount:
Intradermal injections of Freunds Complete Adjuvant, 10% w/v Bisphenol-M in distilled water, and 10% w/v Bisphenol-M in the adjuvant on Day 1. Seven days later the same area of skin was treated by topical application of 50% w/v Bisphenol-M in distilled water and the test site was covered by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2
- Exposure period: 48 hours
- Test groups: 1
- Control group:
- Site: Shaven dorsa
- Frequency of applications: guinea-pigs were subject to intradermal injections of Freunds Complete Adjuvant, 10% w/v Bisphenol-M in distilled water, and 10% w/v Bisphenol-M in the adjuvant on Day 1. Seven days later the same area of skin was treated by topical application of 50% w/v Bisphenol-M in distilled water and the test site was covered by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
- Duration:
- Concentrations:guinea-pigs were subject to intradermal injections of Freunds Complete Adjuvant, 10% w/v Bisphenol-M in distilled water, and 10% w/v Bisphenol-M in the adjuvant on Day 1. Seven days later the same area of skin was treated by topical application of 50% w/v Bisphenol-M in distilled wate.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Maximum concentration not causing irritating effects in preliminary test: 10 %

Evidence of sensitisation of each challenge concentration: Slight confluiding or moderate spotty erythema was found in 1 animal of the test group and in 3 animals from the control group.

Other observations:

The intradermal application of the preparations used in the first phase of the induction caused moderate erythema at all tested areas where FCA was used. After injection of 10 % substance in distilled water or only distilled
water no skin changes were observed.

After the occlusive topical application of distilled water in the animals of the control group and in the animals of the test group after the 50 % substance treatment in distilled water no skin reactions were observed.
