PURPOSE To assess the sensitization potential o f H-24921 after repeated topical applications. 2. SUMMARY A dermal sensitization test was conducted with guinea pigs to determ ine the potential for H -24921 to produce sensitization after repeated topical applications. C om p an y S a n itized . D o e s not co ntain TSCA CBI Page 7 o f 25 H-24921: Dermal Sensitization Test - Buehler Method DuPont-7977 The test substance (90% ' w/w m ixture 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 anim als) was maintained under the same environm ental conditions and treated w ith the vehicle (distilled water, 100%) for the induction phase. Twenty-seven days after th e first induction dose, a challenge dose o f the test substance (HNIC, 50% w /w solution in distilled water) and vehicle (distilled water, 100%) were applied to a naive site on each o f the test and test substance irritation control guinea pig.

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 fo r the Care and Use o f Laboratory Animals DHEW (NIH). Litter paper was placed beneath the cage and was changed at least three times p tr week. 4A_2 Animal Room Temperature and Relative Humidity Ranges: 18-23 C and 30-68% 4A 3 Photoperiod: 12 hour lighl/dark cycle 4A .4 Acclimation Period: 7 days 4A .5 Food: Pelleted Purina Guinea Pig Chow #5025 4A .6 W ater Filtered tap water was supplied ad libitum by automatic water dispensing system.4 4A .7 Contaminants: There were no known contaminants reasonably expected to be found in the food or water at levels which would have interfered with the results o f this study. Analyses o f die food and water are conducted at least once a year and the Page 9 o f25 Company Sanitized. Does fret ccmMrr TSCA CBJ H-24921: Dermal Sensitization Test - Buehler Method DuPont-7977 records are kept on file at Product Safety Labs. The dates o f the most recent analyses are presetted in Appendix A. B. Identification 4.B.1 Cage: Each cage was identified with a cage card indicating pt least tin study rmmlwr and identification and sex o f the animal 4 3 2 Animal: Each guinea pig was marked with a color code and given a sequential animal number assigned to study #11321, which constituted unique identification. 5. PROCEDURE A. Preparation and Selection of Animals W ithin 24 hours prior to each application, the fur o f each guinea pig assigned to test nd test vehicle control groups was removed by clipping the dorsal area and flanks. C are was tk<>n to avoid abrading th e skin. Prior to study initiation, the anim als w ere weighed and the Inn was checked for any abnorm alities. Only healthy animals w ithout pre-existing skin irritation w ere selected for test. B. Induction Phase Once each w eek for three weeks, 0.4 ml o f a 90%' w/w m ixture o f the test substance in distilled w ater w as applied to the left side o f each test animal for six hours using an occlusive 25 mm H ill Top Chamber. The chambers were secured in place and wrapped w ith non-allergenic DuraporeTM adhesive tape to avoid dislocation o f the chambers and to m inim ize loss o f the test substance. A fter the six horn exposure period, the chambers w ere removed and the test sites w ere gently w iped w ith water and a clean tow el to remove any.residual test substance. Approxim ately 24 and 48 hours after each induction application, readings w ere m ade o f local reactions (erythem a) according to the scoring system described in Section 5.D. The vehicle (distilled water, 100%) was used for the induction o f the test vehicle control anim als and scored as above. C. Challenge Phase Twenty-seven days after the first induction dose, 0.4 m l o f a 50% w/w solution o f the test substance (HNIC) in distilled w ater was applied to a naive site on the right rear flank o f each anim al using the procedures described above. The vehicle (distilled water, 100%) was applied to the right front flank o f each test animal for the challenge phase. The test substance irritation control group was also treated w ith the test substance and vehicle for the challenge phase. These sites w ere evaluated for a sensitization response (erythem a) approxim ately 24 and 48 hours after the challenge application according to the system described in Section 5.D. D. Scoring System 0 - no erythem a 0.5 - very faint erythema, usually non-confluent 1 - faint erythem a, usually confluent 2 - m oderate erythema 3 - severe erythem a w ith or without edema 1 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 o f the anim als w ere recorded prior to the first induction, weekly and again on the day after challenge. The mean and standard deviation w ere calculated for all body weights and body weight gains. The overall m ean body weight fflins for test and test vehicle control anim als were evaluated statistically by an unpaired t test (INSTAT B iostatistics, created by GraphPad Software, San D iego, and CA.). F. Clinical Observations The anim als w ere observed daily. If any unusual clinical signs w ere observed, they w ere recorded. 6. EVALUATION In order to evaluate the sensitization response noted during the challenge phase, tw o indices w ere used; one for incidence and one for severity. The incidence index was calculated to evaluate the incidence o f erythem a (sensitization response) approxim ately 24 and 48 hours after challenge according to the following: Scores o f 1 o r greater in the test group are required to be indicative o f sensitization. If scores o f one (1) or greater are seen on the control anim als, then the reactions o f the test substance group anim als that exceed the most severe control reactions are considered to be positive scores. Incidence is reported as the num ber o f positive anim als in each group divided by the total num ber o f animals tested in that group. Severity is reported as the sum o f the test grades divided by the total num ber o f animals tested in a given group determ ined for both 24 and 48 hours. A ll average grades are to be rounded o ff to the nearest tenth o f a unit. 7. HISTORICAL POSITIVE CONTROL VALIDATION STUDY The procedures used in this study were validated using a-hexylcinnam aldehyde, technical grade, 85% (purity) as a positive control substance. The most recent validation, PSL Study #10548, was perform ed by Product Safety Labs and completed on M ay 10,2001. The raw data and report for this study are archived in Product Safety Labs H istorical D ata N otebook N o. 01, pages 20-28.

RESULTS Prelim inary irritation testing scores for the test substance and historical positive control anim als are presented in Table 1. Individual body weights and body w eight gain for test and historical positive control anim als are presented in Tables 2 and 3, respectively. Induction and Challenge Phase skin reaction scores for test and historical positive control anim als are presented in Tables 4 through 7. ftTSCACBi Page 12 o f 25 H-24921: Dermal Sensitization Test - Buehler Method DuPont-7977 A ll test and control anim als survived and appeared norm al throughout the study. There w ere no statistically significant differences between the overall body weight gain o f the test and test vehicle control anim als. Induction Phase Test Animals (test substance applied as a 90%' w/w mixture in distilled water): Very feint to feint erythem a (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 feint to feint erythema (0.5-1) was noted for all test sites during the induction phase. Challenge Phase Test Animals (test substance applied as a 50% w/w solution in distilled water): Very feint erythema (0.5) was noted for five o f 20 test sites 24 hours after challenge. Irritation persisted at two o f these sites through 48 hours. Test Substance Irritation Control Animals (test substance applied as a 50% w/w solution in distilled water): Very feint erythem a (0.5) was noted for tw o o f ten test sites 24 hours after challenge. Irritation persisted at one o f these sites through 48 hours. Test Animals (distilled water, 100%): No dermal irritation was noted for any test site follow ing the challenge phase. Test Substance Irritation Control Animals (distilled water, 100%): No dermal irritation was noted for any test substance irritation control site follow ing the challenge phase. Historical Positive Control Animals (applied as a 75% w/w solution o f HCA (as received) in mineral oil): Five o f ten anim als exhibited signs o f a sensitization response (feint erythem a [1]) 24 hours after challenge. Sim ilar indications persisted at tw o o f these sites with very feint erythem a (0.5) noted for most other sites through 48 hours. Historical Positive Vehicle Control Animals (applied as a 75% w/w solution o f HCA (as received) in mineral oil): Very feint erythema was noted for four o f five test naive control sites 24 hours after challenge. Irritation persisted at three o f 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 w ith ahexylcinnamaldehyde, technical grade, 85% (as received) validates the test system used in this study (See Section 7). The test substance, as received, was a solid. To enhance skin contact, the test substance was moistened with distilled water prior to application. Page 13 of 25 CompanySanitized.
