Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

A maximization study of NPE6 sensitization was conducted in Hartley-Dalkin guinea pigs. A solution of 0, 1.7, 3, 9 and 27% (w/w) NPE6 in propylene glycol and complete Freund's adjuvant (1:1) was injected into the shoulder at a dose of 0.1 mL. After 7 days, undiluted NPE6 was applied and the application site was occluded for 48 hours for sensitization. After a 21-day interval without application, 2.7% NPE6, which induces no skin irritation, was applied and the application site was occluded for 24 hours to induce irritation, and 48 hours after, skin responses were observed. The positive response rates were 5/40, 2/5, 0/5, 1/4 and 2/5, respectively, and no significant differences were found among NPE6 concentrations. From these results, it is concluded that NPE6 causes no sensitization in guinea pig
