Conclusions:
Brüggolit FF6 has no skin sensitisation effect. The source substance contains the major organic moiety (hydroxysulfonatoacetate) that is identical to the target substance. Therefore, this study shows that no skin sensitisation potential can be attributed to the hydroxysulfonatoacetate moiety of the target substance TP 1740.
Executive summary:

The skin sensitisation potential of the test article was investigated in the Guinea-pig Maximisation Test with the Dunkin Hartley albino strain following OECD 406 and GLP criteria. The sensitivity of the test animals to benzocaine has been demonstrated. In the course of testing, no clinical signs were observed and the body weight gain of animals was not significantly influenced. The choice of doses was based on the results ofthe pilot study. The animals showed a very homogeneous reaction to the application of the test substance. The intradermal injection of the 10 % solution of the test article alone and in combination with sensitisation potentiating FCA lead to slight erythema and oedema. The same pattern was seen at injection site 1 (FCA/water mixture ) in the control animals. Topical induction was attempted with the 75:25 mixture of test article with white vaseline on day 7. After removal of the occlusive dressing on day 9 not any skin irritation was recorded in the animals. After challenge with the 75:25 preparation in white vaseline neither the control nor the dose group animals showed any skin effects. Oedema formation was excluded by measurement of skin-fold thickness. The source substance contains the major organic moiety (hydroxysulfonatoacetate) that is identical to the target substance. Therefore, this study shows that no skin sensitisation potential can be attributed to the hydroxysulfonatoacetate moiety of the target substance TP 1740.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Zn was not considered to possess, to any significant degree, the ability to cause skin sensitisation in humans, and, thus, would not be classified and labeled as sensitiser. Due to the fact that the Zn ion is the toxicological relevant moiety of TP 1740, the target substance TP 1740 is expected to be also negative in LLNA.
Executive summary:

The LLNA was used to determinethe skin sensitization potential of 13 metal salts. With Zn, there was a slight suggestion of a dose-response trend, but even at 25% (the highest concentration at which it was possible to test), the stimulation index reached only 2.3, and so it was recorded as negative. In conclusion, Zn was not considered to possess the ability to cause skin sensitisation in humans, and, thus, would not be classified and labeled as sensitiser.

Due to the fact that the Zn ion is the toxicological relevant moiety of TP 1740, the target substance TP 1740 is expected to be also negative in LLNA.

Conclusions:
Although there are some deficiencies in the test conduction, the stimulation index was determined to be 1.41 (mean cpm is even below the mean cpm of the vehicle). Therefore, Zn is not sensitising. Due to the fact that the Zn ion is the toxicological relevant moiety of TP 1740, the target substance TP 1740 is expected to be also negative in LLNA.
Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitisation study with Zinc sulphate heptahydrate in 20 % ethanol solution, 6-8 week old female Balb/c mice (three animals / dose) were tested in the murine local lymph node assay. The test substance was applied on three consecutive days on the dorsum of each ear, local lymph nodes were isolated on fourth day after application. Isolated cells were cultivated with [3H]methyl thymidine ([3H]TdR) and [3H]TdR incorporation was measured with a scintillation counter. The stimulation index (SI) for ZnSO4 was determined to be 1.41 (SI < 2), showing no significant increase in lymphocyte proliferation compared to vehicle alone. In this study, ZnSO4 is not a dermal sensitiser. This study is considered to be reliable and to fulfill general scientific requirements.

Due to the fact that the Zn ion is the toxicological relevant moiety of TP 1740, the target substance TP 1740 is expected to be also negative in LLNA.

LLNA, Basketter 1999, Ikarashi 1992

The LLNA was used to determinethe skin sensitisation potential of ZnSO4.In both studies Zn was not considered to possess the ability to cause skin sensitisation in humans, and thus, would not be classified and labeled as sensitiser.

Due to the fact that the Zn ion is the toxicological relevant moiety of TP 1740, the target substance TP 1740 is expected to be also negative in LLNA.
