MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local lymph node assay for 2-Amino-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol
- Allocation to treatment groups : performed during the acclimatisation period, using a computer general randomisation.
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: A test substance was considered to have skin sensitizing activity if, at one or more concentrations, it induces 3-fold or greater increase in isotope incorporation relative to the vehicle. Thus, a stimulation index ≥ 3.0 was regarded as a positive response.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
A) Test substance preparation: The test substance was prepared daily as a solution in DMSO and acetone/water (1:1) mixed with olive oil at concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 and 10.0%. The test preparations were used within 5 hours of preparation.
B) Administration of the test preparations: On Day 0, 1 and 2, 25 µl of the test substance formulation or vehicles was applied on the dorsal surface of each ear. A hair dryer was used for approximately 5 minutes to dry the application sites.
OBSERVATIONS:
- Morbidity/mortality: All animals were observed at least daily.
- Clinical signs: On treatment days, animals were examined before and at least once after dosing to detect any clinical signs or reaction to treatment
- Body weights: All animals were weighed on Days -1 and 5.
- Evaluation of cell proliferation: On Day 5 the mice were injected, i.v., with 250 μL tested in each vehicle 1 and vehicle 2 of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 23.3 μCi of [3H] methyl thymidine. Five hours later the mice were sacrificed by carbon dioxide inhalation and the draining auricular lymph node taken and weighed. A single cell suspension was prepared for each animal. Cells were washed twice with PBS and precipitated with ice cold 5% trichloro-acetic acid (TCA). 18 hours later the pellets were resuspended in 1 mL of TCA and transferred into the scintillation cocktail. 3H-methyl thymidine incorporation was measured by liquid scintillation counting in a TRI-CARB 2700TR counter (Packard).
Details on the counting system were provided in the study report. - Positive control substance(s):

- DETAILS ON STIMULATION INDEX CALCULATION
- In DMSO, mean stimulation indices for 2-Amino-6-Chloro-4-Nitrophenol WR 23214 at the concentrations of 0.5%, 1.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% were 1.2, 1.2, 2.0 and 4.7 respectively. The response was thus considered to be positive.
- In acetone/water/olive oil, mean stimulation indices for 2-Amino-6-Chloro-4-Nitrophenol WR 23214 at the concentrations of 0.5%, 1.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% were 2.8, 3.9, 3.7 and 5.2 respectively.
EC3 CALCULATION
- EC3 value was not calculated for the positive control p-phenylenediamine (PPD) (one
single value).
- EC3 value calculated for 2-Amino-6-Chloro-4-Nitrophenol WR 23214 was 6.85% in
DMSO and 0.68% in acetone/water/olive oil
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
- Mortality:No animal died during the study
- Clinical Signs: No clinical signs were observed in the treated animals during the study
BODY WEIGHTS
- Minor body weight loss (less than 10%) in few animals was observed which was considered to be purely coincidental.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Evaluation of Lymph Nodes Weight:
- In animals given the positive control p-phenylenediamine (study number 762/040), the ratio of mean lymph node weights (positive control)/mean lymph node weights (vehicle 1) was 1.2 at the concentration of 1%, indicating an immune response.
- In animals given test substance in DMSO, the ratio of mean lymph node weights (test substance)/mean lymph node weights (vehicle 1) was 1.1, 1.2, 1.0 and 1.3 at the concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 and 10.0%, respectively. Lymph node weights of the test substance group at the concentrations of 1.5 and 10.0% were therefore considered to indicate an immune response comparable to the positive control.
- In animals given test substance in acetone/water/olive oil, the ratio of mean lymph node weights (test substance)/mean lymph node weights (vehicle 2) was 1.2, 1.1, 1.1 and 1.2 at the concentrations of 0.5%, 1.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% respectively. Lymph node weights of the test substance group at the concentrations of 0.5% and 10% were therefore considered to indicate an immune response comparable to the positive control

- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
- Conclusions:
- 2-Amino-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol was determined to be a skin sensitizer in the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) when tested at concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 and 10.0% in DMSO and acetone/water (1:1) mixed with olive oil (4:1).
- Executive summary:
The study was performed to assess the skin sensitization potential of 2-Amino-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol by following the OECD Guideline 429 (Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay).
Ten week old female CBA/J mice, weighing 19 to 25 g (source Centre d'Elevage Janvier, route des Chenes Secs, 53940 Le Genest Saint Isle, France) were used in the study. Animals were housed in groups of 5 in plastic cages (265 x 160 x 140 mm). Animals were maintained under standard laboratory conditions (temperature: 19 to 25°C, humidity: >40%; minimum 8 air change/hour and 12 hour light/12 hour dark cycle). Prior to the treatment, animals were acclimatized under laboratory conditions for a minimum period of 9 days. The animals received mouse pelleted complete diet and filtered (0.2 µm) mains drinking water ad libitum. All animals received a clinical inspection for ill-health on arrival.
Two vehicles were used for the preparation of test substance, vehicle 1 (dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and vehicle 2 (acetone/water/olive oil). The test substance was prepared daily in vehicle 1 or 2 at concentrations of 0.5%, 1.5%, 5.0% and 10.0%. The test preparations were used within 5 hours of preparation. 1% p-phenylenediamine (PPD) served as the positive control.
On Days 0, 1 and 2, the animals received 25 µL of the test substance or vehicle on the dorsal surface of each ear. A hair dryer was used for approximately 5 minute to dry pinnae.
On Day 5 of the study, all mice received an intravenous injection of 250 µL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 23.3 µCi of [3H] methyl thymidine. Approximately 5 hours later, the mice were sacrificed by carbon dioxide inhalation and the draining auricular lymph nodes taken and weighed. A single cell suspension of lymph node cells was prepared for each animal. Cells were processed further and transferred into scintillation cocktail. 3H-methyl thymidine incorporation was measured by liquid scintillation counting in a TRI-CARB 2700TR counter (Packard). All animals were observed for mortality/morbidity and clinical signs. Body weights were recorded on Days 1 and 5.
There was no mortality as well as no treatment-related effects in body weight or body weight gains observed during the study. No treatment-related clinical signs were observed.
Mean Stimulation index (SI) for the positive control (1% PPD) relative to the vehicle was 7.0 which was greater than 3 thus demonstrating the sensitivity and validity of the test system used.
The mean SIs of the test substance at the concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 and 10.0% in DMSO were 1.2, 1.2, 2.0 and 4.7, respectively. The mean SIs at the concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 and 10.0% in acetone/water/olive oil were 2.8, 3.9, 3.7 and 5.2 respectively. Thus the test substance elicited a positive response.
EC3 values calculated were 6.85% in DMSO and 0.68% in acetone/water/olive oil. The EC3 value in acetone/water/olive oil of 0.68% was considered to be an underestimation due to the unusually low mean DPM value for the control.
Based on above, 2-Amino-6-chloro-4-nitrophenol was determined to be a skin sensitizer in the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) when tested at concentrations of 0.5, 1.5, 5.0 and 10.0% in DMSO and acetone/water (1:1) mixed with olive oil.
This LLNA study is classified as acceptable, and satisfies the guideline requirements of OECD 429 (Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay).
