1) Preliminary studies:
- Maximum Non Necrotizing Concentration (M.N.N.C.) determination:
2 female guinea pigs identified n°C7259 to C7260 were used.
The test product was injected by intradermal route at the following concentrations: 25%, 12.5%, 6.25% and 3.125% diluted in distilled water, 12.5% and 6.25% diluted in paraffin oil and 20% and 10% diluted in ethanol/distilled water (20/80; v/v).
- Pre-Maximum Non Irritant Concentration (M.N.I.C.) determination:
The product was applied under an occlusive dressing during 24 hours, at the following concentrations pure and diluted 50%, 25% and 12.5% in distilled water.
- Maximum Non Irritant Concentration (M.N.I.C.) determination:
3 female guinea pigs identified n° C7265 to C7267 were used.
After induction by intradermal injection with ethanol/distilled water (20/80: v/v) solution and by topical application with ethanol/distilled water (20/80: v/v) solution and a 17-days rest phase, the challenge phase under occlusive dressing for 24 hours consists in a single topical application of the test product at the following concentrations: 100%, diluted 50%, 25% and 12.5% in ethanol/distilled water (20/80: v/v) solution.

Concentrations selected
Preliminary studies:
- MNNC determination :
No necrosis has been observed since the concentrations of 20% (dilution in ethanol/distilled water (20/80: v/v) solution), the first induction has been carried out by intradermal injection at the same concentration.
-Pre MNIC determination :
24 hours after the removal of the occlusive dressings, no macroscopic cutaneous reaction was recorded.
In view of these results, the concentrations selected were pure for the 2nd induction of the main study and the MNIC began at the concentration of 100%.
- MNIC determination :
24 hours after removal of the occlusive dressings, no cutaneous reaction was recorded.
In view of this result, the concentrations selected were 100% (MNIC) and 50% (1/2 MNIC) for the challenge phase.
Main study :
- induction phase :
The induction phase was performed by intradermal injection at D0 with the test product diluted at 20% in an ethanol/distilled water (20/80: v/v) solution and by topical application at D7 with the test product at 100%, after brushing with a solution of sodium lauryl sulfate.
- challenge phase :
The test product has been used pure and diluted at 50% in an ethanol/distilled water (20/80: v/v) solution (1/2 MNIC).
Sensitising potential assessment
No macroscopic cutaneous reactions attributable to allergy was recorded during the examinationfollowing the removal of the occlusive dressings (challenge phase) from the animals of the treated group with the test product.
No cutaneous intolerance reaction was recorded in animals from the negative control group.
Weight evolution
Not any abnormality was recorded in the weight growth of both groups.
other: not classified
In view of these results, under these experimental conditions, the product MADECASSOSIDE, in accordance with the criteria for classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances of the E.E.C. Directives 67/548 and 99/45, must not be classified.
After induction (intradermic injection and topical application) of 10 animals (male) of treated group with the test product MADECASSOSIDE and a 15-days rest phase, the challenge phase, under occlusive dressing for 24 hours, consisted to a single topical application of the test product at 100% and diluted at 50% in an ethanol/distiller water solution (20/80, v/v), according to the experimental
protocol established from the O.E.C.D. guideline n°406 dated July 17th, 1992 and the method B.6 of the E.E.C. n°96/54 dated July 30th, 1996.
No macroscopic cutaneous reactions attributable to allergy was recorded during the examinationfollowing the removal of the occlusive dressing (challenge phase) from the animals of the treated group with the test product.
In conclusion, in view of these results, under these experimental conditions, the product MADECASSOSIDE, must not be classified and in accordance with the criteria for classification, packaging and labelling of dangerous substances of the E.E.C. Directives 67/548 and 99/45.
