In vivo test system
Study design: in vivo (LLNA)
- Vehicle:
- other: ethanol : water (7 : 3 v/v)
- Concentration:
- The test item was prepared in the vehicle at the following concentration : 2.5, 5.0, 10.0%
- No. of animals per dose:
- Four females per dose
- Details on study design:
- A dilution of the test item in a mixture of ethanol : water (7 : 3 v/v) was performed shortly before each dosing. A mixture of ethanol : water (7 : 3 v/v) was selected as the vehicle as a result of assessments performed on the solubility of the test item. The highest non-irritating, technically applicable test item concentration was determined in a pre-test with four mice. Based on the assessment concentrations of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0% were selected for the main study. Each test group of mice was treated by topical application to the dorsal surface of each ear lobe with the different test item concentrations. A volume of 25uL was spread over the entire dorsal surface of each ear lobe once daily for 3 consecutive days. The control group was treated with the vehicle alone. Five days after the first topical administration all mice were treated with radio labelled thymidine by intravenous injection via the tail vien. Approximately 5 hours after administration with radio labelled thymidine all mice were euthanised. The draining lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each experimental group. After preparation the level of radio labelled incorporation was then measured by scintillation counting. The proliferative response of lymph node cells is expressed as the ratio of incorporation into lymph node cells of treated animals relative to that recorded in the control animals (stimulation index). A test item is regarded as a sensitiser if the exposure to at least one concentration resulted in at least a 3 fold increase in the incorporation of radio labelled thymidine compared with concurrent controls as indicated by the stimulation index together with consideration of dose response.
- Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- Stimulation indices of 1.5, 2.3 and 8.4 were determined for the positive control substance alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde at concentrations of 5.0, 10.0 and 25.0% (w/v) respectively in acetone : olive oil (4:1)(v/v). The positive control item was found to be a skin sensitiser and an EC3 value of 11.7% (w/v) was derived.

- Remarks:
- The stimulation index was 0.9, 1.1, 1.3 for test item concentrations of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0% (w/v) respectively. The calculation of the EC3 value was not performed since no test concentration produced a stimulation index of 3 or above. The positive control induced a distinct increase of the stimulation index and gave an EC3 of 11.7% (w/v).
- Cellular proliferation data / Observations:
- EC3 Calculation
Calculation of the EC 3 value was not performed because no test concentration produced a stimulation index of 3 or higher.
Viability/Mortality
No deaths occurred during the study period.
Clinical Signs
No symptoms of local toxicity at the ears of the animals and no systemic findings were observed during the study period.
Body Weights
The body weight of the animals, recorded on the test day 1 (prior to the first application) and on the test day 6, was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.

- Conclusions:
- The test item is not a skin sensitiser.
- Executive summary:
In order to study a possible contact allergenic potential of the test item, three groups each of four female mice were treated daily with the test item at concentrations of 2.5%, 5.0% and 10.0% (w/v) in ethanol : water (7:3)(v/v) by topical application to the dorsum of each ear lobe (left and right) for three consecutive days. The highest technically applicable concentration in the vehicle was 10.0%. A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle (ethanol : water (7:3)) only. Five days after the first topical application the mice were injected intravenously into a tail vein with radio-labelled thymidine. After approximately five hours after intravenous injection, the mice were sacrificed, the draining auricular lymph nodes excised and pooled per group. Single cell suspensions of lymph node cells were prepared from pooled lymph nodes which were subsequently washed and incubated with trichloroacetic acid overnight. The proliferative capacity of pooled lymph node cells was determined by the incorporation of 3H-methyl thymidine measured in a beta-scintillation counter. All treated animals survived the scheduled study period. No clinical signs were observed. The stimulation index was 0.9, 1.1, 1.3 for test concentrations of 2.5, 5.0, 10.0 %(w/v) respectively. A test item is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA if the exposure to one or more test concentrations resulted in a 3 fold or greater increase in incorporation of 3H-methyl thymidine compared with concurrent controls as indicated by the stimulation index. The test item was found to be a non-sensitiser when tested up to the highest applicable concentration of 10% (w/v) in ethanol : water (7:3(v/v)).
