- TEST ARTICLE PREPARATION
The test article and vehicle were placed into a glass beaker on a tared Mettler PK 300 balance. A weight/weight dilution was prepared using a homogenizer. Homogeneity of the test article in vehicle (bi-distilled water for intracutaneous applications and petrolatum oil for epicutaneous applications) was maintained during treatment using a magnetic stirrer. The preparations were made immediately (for second epidermal pretest not stated in raw data) prior to each dosing.
PRELIMINARY STUDY
The objective of this investigation was to identify irritant test article concentrations suitable for the induction phase of the main study. In addition, a suitable non-irritant concentration of the test article, by the topical route of administration, was identified for the challenge application.
Intradermal injections: intradermal injections (0.1 ml/site) were made into the clipped flank of two guinea-pigs at concentrations of 5%, 3%, 1%, 0.5%, 0.3% and 0.1% of the test article in bi-distilled water. The resulting dermal reactions were assessed 24 hours later.
Epidermal applications: patches of filter paper ( 2 x 2 cm) were saturated with concentrations of 25%, 15%, 10% and 5% of the test article in petrolatum oil and applied to the clipped and shaved flanks of each of four guinea-pigs. The patches were covered by a strip of aluminium foil and firmly secured by elastic plaster wound round the trunk and covered with impervious adhesive tape. This procedure ensured intensive contact of the test article with the guinea pig skin. The dressings were removed after an exposure period of 24 hours and the reaction sites were assessed for erythema and oedema on a numerical basis according to the scale described above. Further examination of the sites was performed 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressings.
An additional epidermal pretest was performed one week after the first epidermal pretest with test article concentrations of 15%, 10%, 5% and 1% (petrolatum oil).
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
A.1 - Intradermal injections: an area of dorsal skin from the scapular region (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was clipped free of hair. Three pairs of intradermal injections (0.1 ml/site) were made at the border of a 4 x 6 cm area in the clipped region as follows:
1) freunds' complete adjuvant 50:50 with bi-distilled water for injection.
2) the test article, diluted to 1 % with bi-distilled water.
3) the test article at the concentration of 1 %, emulsified in a 50:50 mixture of Freunds' complete adjuvant and the bi-distilled water.
- Control: treated accordingly with the omission of the test article.
A.2 - Epidermal applications: one week after the injections, the scapular area (approximately 6 x 8 cm) was again clipped and shaved free of hair. A 2 x 4 cm patch of filter paper was saturated with the test article (15 % in petrolatum oil) and placed over the injection sites of the test animals. The patch was covered by aluminium foil and firmly secured by an elastic plaster wound round the trunk of the animal and secured with impervious adhesive tape.
The dressings were left in place for approximately 48 hours.
- Control: the guinea-pigs of the control group were treated as described with petrolatum oil only.
- Assessment: the reaction sites were assessed for erythema and oedema immediately, 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
B.1 - Challenge: the test and control guinea-pigs were challenged two weeks after the epidermal induction application.
Hair was clipped and shaved from a 5 x 5 cm area on the left and right flank of each guinea-pig. Two patches ( 2 x 2 cm) of filter paper were saturated with:
a) non-irritant concentration (10 % in petrolatum oil) of the test article and
b) with the vehicle only
applied to the left (a) flank and right (b) flank respectively using the same method as for the epidermal application.
The dressings were removed approximately 24 hours later.
- Assessment: the sites were assessed for erythema and oedema immediately, 24 and 48 hours after removal, using the numerical scoring system as described previously.
- Control: the control animals were treated in the same way as described above.
B.2 - Re-challenge: a second challenge was performed two weeks after the first challenge.
The method for the animals of the test article-treated group was equal to that described for the first challenge with the exception that the flanks of all the guinea-pigs were changed (a - vehicle; b - test article dilution).
- Control: the control animals were treated with the vehicle only on the left flank.

- Executive summary:
Method
The purpose of this skin sensitization study was to assess the allergenic potential of test item when administered to the skin of male and female albino guinea pigs. For this purpose the Maximization, according to the OECD guideline 406, was used. Ten animals (5 males, 5 females) were used as control group and twenty animals (10 males, 10 females) were used as test group.
Prior to the first reading of the reactions, the skin was washed-off with the vehicle petrolatum oil to clean the application site from staining produced by the test article, so that the reactions (erythema) were clearly visible at that time.
Results
The highest non-irritating concentration used for first and second challenge was 10 %.
First Challenge - Erythema was observed in five out of twenty animals (25 %) at the 24-hours reading and three out of twenty animals (15 %) at the 48-hours reading when treated with a test article concentration of 10 %.
Second Challenge - No positive findings were observed after the second challenge application in any animal.
Conclusion
According to CLP Regulation (EC 1272/2008) a substance in considered a skin sensitizer when the Guinea pig maximisation test results indicate that a number of animals ≥ 30 % to < 60% responding at concentrations > 0.1 % to ≤ 1 % of intradermal induction dose or a number of animals ≥ 30 % responding at > 1 % intradermal induction dose. Less than the 30 % of animals showed a reaction, therefore the substance can be considered as non sensitising.
