PURPOSE To assess the sensitization potential of H-24921 after repeated topical applications. 2. SUMMARY A dermal sensitization test was conducted with guinea pigs to determine the potential for H-24921 to produce sensitization after repeated topical applications. Page 7 of 25 Company Sanitized. Does not contain TSCA CBI t) H-24921: Dermal Sensitizarion Test - Buehler Method DuPont-7977 The test substance (90%' w/w mixture in distilled water) was topically applied for six hours to 20 healthy test guinea pigs, once each week for a three week induction period. A test vehicle control group (ten animals) was maintained under the same environmental conditions and treated with the vehicle (distilled water, 100%) for the induction phase. Twenty-seven days after the first induction dose, a challenge dose of the test substance (HNIC, 50% w/w solution in distilled water) and vehicle (distilled water, 100%) were applied to a naive site on each of the test and test substance irritation control guinea pig. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after each induction and challenge dose, the test and test irritation control animals were scored for erythema. A table summarizing the incidence and severity of the sensitization response noted after challenge is found below. - 50% w/w in distilled water Distilled water Incidence with Skin Reactions2 TestAnimals" -Tesrlrritation'ConfforAnimals Hours 24 48 24 48 0/20 0/20 0/20 0/20 0/10 0/10 0/10 0/10 50% w/w in distilled water Distilled water Test Animals 24 0.13 0.00 48 0.05 0.00 Severity3 Test Irritation Control Animals H ours 24 48 0.10 0.00 0.05 0.00 Based on the results of this study, the test substance is considered not to be a contact sensitizer.

METHODS A. Husbandry 4A.1 Housing: The animals were group housed in suspended stainless steel with mesh floors or plastic perforated bottom caging which conform to the size recommendations in the most recent Guide/or the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals DHEW (NIH). Litter paper was placed beneath the cage and was changed at least three times pCT week. 4A^ 4AJ Animal Room Temperature and Relative Humidity Ranges: 18-23 C and 30-68% Photoperiod; 12 hour light/darkcycle 4A.4 Acclimation Period: 7 days 4A.5 4A.6 Food: Pelleted Purina Guinea Pig Chow #5025 Water Filtered tap water was supplied ad libitum by automatic water dispensing system. 4A.7 Contaminants: There were no known contaminants reasonably expectedto be found in the food or water at levels which would have interfered with the results of this study. Analyses of die food and water are conducted at least once a year and the Page 9 of 25 Company SanrKzed. Does net contenT TSCA CSI H-24921: Dermal Sensitization Test - Buehler Method DuPont-7977 records are kept on file at Product Safety Labs. The dates of the most recent analyses are presentedin Appendix A. B. Identification 4.B.1 Cage: Each cage was identified with a cage card indicatingat least the studynumber and identification and sex of the animal. 42 Animal: Each guinea pig was marked with a color code and given a sequential animal number assignedto study #11321, which constituted unique identification. 5. PROCEDURE A. Preparation and Selection of Animals Within 24 hours prior to each application, the fur of each guinea pig assigned to test and test vehicle control groups was removed by clipping the dorsal area and flanks. Care was taken to avoid abrading the skin. Prior to study initiation, the animals were weighed and the skin was checked for any abnormalities. Only healthy animals without pre-existing skin irritation were selected for test. B. Induction Phase Once each week for three weeks, 0.4 ml of a 90%' w/w mixture of the test substance in distilled water was applied to the left side of each test animal for six hours using an occlusive 25 mm Hill Top Chamber. The chambers were secured in place and wrapped with non-allergenic DuraporeTM adhesive tape to avoid dislocation of the chambers and to minimize loss of the test substance. After the six hour exposure period) the chambers were removed and the test sites were gently wiped with water and a clean towel to remove any.residual test substance. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after each induction application, readings were made of local reactions (erythema) according to the scoring system described in Section 5.D. The vehicle (distilled water, 100%) was used for the induction of the test vehicle control animals and scored as above. C. Challenge Phase Twenty-seven days after the first induction dose, 0.4 ml of a 50% w/w solution of the test substance (HNIC) in distilled water was applied to a naive site on the right rear flank of each animal using the procedures described above. The vehicle (distilled water, 100%) was applied to the right front flank of each test animal for the challenge phase. The test substance irritation control group was also treated with the test substance and vehicle for the challenge phase. These sites were evaluated for a sensitization response (erythema) approximately 24 and 48 hours after the challenge application according to the system described in Section 5.D. D. Scoring System 0 -no erythema 0.5 - very faint erythema, usually non-confluent 1 - faint erythema, usually confluent 2 - moderate erythema 3 - severe erythema with or without edema The test substance, as received, was a solid. To enhance skin contact, the test substance was moistened with distilled water prior to application.

Body Weights Individual body weights of the animals were recorded prior to the first induction, weekly and again on the day after challenge. The mean and standard deviation were calculated for all body weights and body weight gains. The overall mean body weight gains for test and test vehicle control animals were evaluated statistically by an unpaired t test (INSTAT Biostatistics, created by GraphPad Software, San Diego, and CA.). F. Clinical Observations The animals were observed daily. recorded. If any unusual clinical signs were observed, they were 6. EVALUATION In order to evaluate the sensitization response noted during the challenge phase, two indices were used; one for incidence and one for severity. The incidence index was calculated to evaluate the incidence of erythema (sensitization response) approximately 24 and 48 hours after challenge according to the following: Scores of 1 or greater in the test group are required to be indicative of sensitization. If scores of one (1) or greater are seen on the control animals, then the reactions of the test substance group animals that exceed the most severe control reactions are considered to be positive scores. Incidence is reported as the number of positive animals in each group divided by the total number of annuals tested in that group. Severity is reported as the sum of the test grades divided by the total number of animals tested in a given group determined for both 24 and 48 hours. All average grades are to be rounded off to the nearest tenth of a unit. 7. HISTORICAL POSITIVE CONTROL VALIDATION STUDY The procedures used in this study were validated using a-hexylcinnamaldehyde, technical grade, 85% (purity) as a positive control substance. The most recent validation, PSL Study #10548, was performed by Product Safety Labs and completed on May 10,2001. The raw data and report for this study are archived in Product Safety Labs Historical Data Notebook No. 01, pages 20-28. This test was conducted at the Dayton Facility with HCA using Hartley strain albino guinea pigs from Elm Hill Breeding Labs following induction and challenge procedures similar to those described in Section 5.

There were no statistically significant differences between the overall body weight gain of the test and test vehicle control ^r"Trials Induction Phase Test Animals (test substance applied as a 90%' w/w mixture in distilled water): Very faint to faint erythema (0.5-1) was noted for all test sites during the induction phase. Test Vehicle Control Animals (distilled water, 100%): No dermal irritation was noted for any test vehicle control site during the induction phase. Historical Positive Control Animals (HCA, as received): Very faint to faint erythema (0.5-1) was noted for all test sites during the induction phase. Challenge Phase Test Anhnali; (test substance applied as a 50% w/w solution in distilled water): Very &int erythema (0.5) was noted for five of 20 test sites 24 hours after challenge. Irritation persisted at two of these sites through 48 hours. Test Substance Irritation Control Animals (test substance applied as a 50% w/w solution in distffled water): Very &int erythema (0.5) was noted for two of ten test sites 24 hours after challenge. Irritation persisted at one of these sites through 48 hours. Test Animals (distilled water, 100%): No dermal irritation was noted for any test site following the challenge phase. Test Substance Irritation Control Animals (distilled water, 100%): No dermal irritation was noted for any test substance irritation control site following the challenge phase. Historical Positive Control Animals (applied as a 75% w/w solution of HCA (as received) in mineral oil): Five often animals exhibited signs of a sensitization response (&int erythema [1]) 24 hours after challenge. Similar indications persisted at two of these sites with very &int erythema (0.5) noted for most other sites through 48 hours. Historical Positive Vehicle Control Animals (applied as a 75% w/w solution of HCA (as received) in mineral oil): Very &int erythema was noted for four of five test naive control sites 24 hours after challenge. Irritation persisted at three of these sites through 48 hours. 14. CONCLUSION Based on these findings and on the evaluation system used, H-24921 is considered not to be a contact sensitizer. The positive response observed in the historical positive control validation study with ahexylcinnamaldehyde, technical grade, 85% (as received) validates the test system used in this study (See Section 7). 1 The test substance, as received, was a solid. distilled water prior to application.
