- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Selection of Concentration for Intradermal Induction: Four concentrations of test substance were investigated, (1, 5, 10 and 25 % in arachis oil BP). A total of four guinea pigs were used, each guinea pig receiving four 0.1 mL injections of only one concentration of test substance. The degree of erythema at the injection sites was assessed approximately 24, 48 and 72 hours and 7 days after injection. The degree of oedema was not evaluated. Any evidence of systemic toxicity was also recorded. The 5 % concentration was selected for the intradermal induction stage of the main study.
- Selection of Concentration for Topical Induction: Two guinea pigs (intradermally injected with Freund's Complete Adjuvant 15 days earlier) were treated with the undiluted test substance and three preparations of the the test substance (75, 50 and 25 % in ethanol/diethylphthalate 1:1). Applications were made to the clipped flanks under occlusive dressings for an exposure period of 48 hours. The degree of erythema and oedema was evaluated approximately 1, 24 and 48 hours after dressing removal. The highest concentration producing only mild to moderate dermal irritation was selected for the topical induction stage.
- Selection of Concentration for Topical Challenge: The undiluted test substance and three preparations of the test substance (75, 50 and 25 % in v.v in arachis oil BP) were applied to the clipped flanks of two guinea pigs under occlusive dressings for an exposure period of 24 hours. The undiluted test substance was found to be the maximum non-irritant concentration. These guinea pigs did not form part of the main study, but had been treated identically to the control animals of the main study up to Day 14. The degree of erythema and oedema was evaluated approximately 1, 24 and 48 hours after dressing removal.
MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 2, one intradermal (5 %), one topical (undiluted)
- Exposure period: 14 days.
- Test groups: 1 group of 20 animals. Shortly before treatment on Day 0, the hair was removed from an area approximately 40 mm x 60 mm on the shoulder region of each animal with veterinary clippers. A row of three injection (0.1 mL each) was made on each side of the mid-line. The injections consisted of Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water in the ratio 1:1, a 5 % w/v formulation of the test substance in arachis oil BP and a 5 % w/v formulation of the test substance in a 1:1 preparation of Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after the intradermal injection the degree of erythema and the test substance injection sites (i.e. injection site b) was evaluated. One week later (Day 7), the same area on the shoulder region used previously for intradermal injections was clipped and treated with a topical application of the undiluted test substance. A filter paper patch (WHATMAN No. 4 approximate size 40 mm x 20 mm) saturated with the undiluted test substance was applied to the prepared skin and held in place with a strip of surgical adhesive tape covered with an overlapping length of aluminium foil. The patch and foil were further secured with a strip of elastic adhesive bandage wound in a double layer around the torso of each animal. The dressing was kept in place for 48 hours. The degree of erythema and oedema was quantified one and twenty four hours following removal of patches.
- Control group: 1 group of 10 animals, treated identically to the test animals except the injections were Freund's Complete Adjuvant plus distilled water 1:1, arachis oil BP and 50 % w/v formulation of arachis oil BP in a 1:1 mixture of Freund's Complete Adjuvant/distilled water. The topical induction followed the same method as the test groups, however, nothing was applied to the patch.
- Site: 40 mm x 60 mm on the shoulder region of each animal
- Frequency of applications: Day 0 intradermal and Day 7 topical
- Duration: The topical application was occluded for 48 hours.
- Concentrations: 5 % for intradermal induction, undiluted for the topical induction
B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: Day 21
- Exposure period: 24 hours
- Test groups: All 20 animals from the induction exposure. An area of approximately 50 mm x 70 mm on both flanks of each animal was clipped. A square filter paper patch (WHATMAN No. 4: approximate size 20 mm x 20 mm) saturated with the undiluted test substance was applied to the shorn right flank of each animal and was held in place with a strip of surgical adhesive tape. The patches were occluded with an overlapping length of aluminium foil and secured with a strip of elastic adhesive bandage wound in a double layer around the torso. After 24 hours, the dressing was removed. The challenge sites were swabbed with cotton wool soaked in diethyl ether to remove residual material. Prior to the 24 hour observation, the flanks were clipped using veterinary clippers.
- Site: 50 mm x 70 mm right flank
- Concentrations: Undiluted
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 hours.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the study, hexenyl-3-cis salicylate produced a 0 % (0/20) sensitisation rate and was classified as a non-sensitiser to guinea pig skin. The substance does not meet the criteria for classification as a sensitiser.
- Executive summary:
In a GLP compliant sensitisation study conducted in line with OECD 406 and EU Method B.6, the sensitisation of (z)-3-hexenyl salicylate was determined using the maximisation test. Induction was initially performed intradermally at a concentration of 5%, followed by topical induction using the undiluted test substance. Animals were challenged with a topical application of undiluted test substance and observed for reaction at 24 and 48 hours post exposure. No reactions were noted at either observation period post challenge. Hexenyl-3-cis salciylate was considered to be non-sensitising.
