- RANGE FINDING TEST:
For the justification of dose levels a preliminary test was performed. One animal was intradermally treated with 2.5 as well as 5% concentration (diluted in cotton seed oil, Lot 015K0202, Sigma) of the test item.
For the 2.5% concentration erythema grade 1 was observed (24 and 48 hours post-dose). After 72 hours no signs of irritation were observed any more.
For the 5% concentration erythema grade 1 was observed (24, 48 as well as 72 hours post-dose).
Therefore the concentration of 5% was chosen for the intradermal induction.
Two animals were topically treated with 50 as well as 100% concentration for 24 hours and 48 hours, respectively.
No signs of irritation and systemic toxicity were recorded for any concentration 24, 48 as well as 72 hours after application.
Therefore the 50% concentration was chosen for the topical induction as well as for the challenge.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION (First Stage, Intradermal Injection)
Three pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 mL volume were given in the shoulder region which was cleared of hair by clipping so that one of each pair lies on each side of the midline.
Test group: Day 0
- Injection 1: Freund's Adjuvant complete, 1 + 1 (v/v) diluted with isotonic saline
- Injection 2: Prepared test item
- Injection 3: Prepared test item at a concentration of 50% (V/V) in Freund's Adjuvant complete, 1 + 1 (v/v) diluted with isotonic saline
Control group : Day 0
- Injection 1: Freund's Adjuvant complete, 1 + 1 (v/v) diluted with isotonic saline
- Injection 2: Vehicle at a concentration of 100%
- Injection 3: Vehicle at a concentration of 50% (V/V) in Freund's Adjuvant complete, 1 + 1 (v/v) diluted with isotonic saline
- Injections 1 and 2 were given close to each other and nearest to the head, while 3 is given toward the caudal part of the test area.
B. INDUCTION (Second Stage, Topical Application):
Test and Control Group: Day 6
Approximately twenty-four hours before the topical induction application the test area was closely clipped and painted with 0.5 mL of 10% sodium lauryl sulfat.
Test Group: Day 7
A patch was fully loaded with 0.5 mL of the prepared test item, applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
Control Group: Day 7
A patch was fully loaded with 0.5 mL of the vehicle and applied to the test area and held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
C. CHALLENGE (Topical Application)
The flanks of treated and control animals were cleared of hair by closely-clipping.
Test and Control Group: Day 20
A patch loaded with 0.5 mL of the prepared test item was applied to the left flank of the animals and, a patch loaded with 0.5 mL vehicle to the right flank (intraspecific control), respectively. The patches were held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. - Challenge controls:
- A patch loaded with 0.5 mL of the prepared test item (50% in cotton seed oil) was applied to the left flank of the animals and, a patch loaded with 0.5 mL vehicle to the right flank (intraspecific control), respectively. The patches were held in contact by an occlusive dressing for 24 hours.
- Positive control substance(s):
- yes
- Remarks:
- reliability of the test system was performed in Jan./Feb. 2005 with Mercaptobenzothiazole [purity > 98%; CAS No. 149-30-4; Lot S35857 306; Merck] (15% in Vaseline)

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: EU-GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The study was performed as GLP guideline study with no deviations and is well-documented. Hence, the results are considered reliable for assessment. The test item caused no reactions identified as sensitization.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the potential of the test substance to cause skin sensitisation in guinea pigs according to OECD Guideline 406, in compliance with GLP. Groups of 10 Hsd Poc: DH guinea pigs (Full-Barrier) were used for the study, along with groups of 5 controls. The maximum concentration not giving rise to irritating effects in the preliminary test corresponded to 100% test substance. The first induction was conducted with 5% test substance in cottonseed oil, the second with 50% test substance in cottonseed oil. The concentration of test substance and vehicle used at each stage of challenge was equivalent to 50%. The study results were as follows:
- Induction I: 24 h post-dose erythema grade 1 at the injection site 2 in 8 animals; 48 h post-dose erythema grade 1 at the injection site 2 in 8 animals;
- Induction II: No signs of irritations in any animal.
- Challenge: No evidence of sensitization. No other effects observed.
Under the study conditions, the test substance was considered to be non-sensitising (Brummer, 2005).
