Study design: in vivo (LLNA)
- Vehicle:
- methyl ethyl ketone
- Concentration:
- The required quantity of the test item was mixed with MEK to get stock concentration of 60% w/v. The required volume of stock formulation was mixed with MEK to get dose formulations concentrations of 15 and 30% w/v.
- No. of animals per dose:
- 6 females per group
- Details on study design:
- PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
- Compound solubility: The current Guideline recommends vehicles/solvents such as acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v), N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), propylene glycol (PG), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) or 1% Pluronic® L92.
The miscibility / solubility of the test item was tested using AOO, DMF, MEK, PG, DMSO and 1% L92.
The test item is solid. Based on the maximum soluble concentration, MEK was selected as the vehicle
- Irritation: A concentration of 60% w/v was the maximum soluble concentration in Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK). Hence the highest possible dose concentration of 60% w/v in MEK was selected as highest dose concentration for testing.
Prior to the LLNA main study, the vehicle MEK and concentrations of 5, 10, 30, 45 and 60% w/v of the test item in MEK were evaluated for irritation potential as measured by erythema of the ears.
- Ear thickness measurements: Yes
- Erythema scores: Yes
MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: The purpose of this Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) was to assess the potential of the test item to cause contact sensitization via measurement of lymph node proliferation following topical application of the test item to the dermal surfaces of the mouse ear.
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The sensitizing potential was subsequently determined by the magnitude of the lymphocyte proliferative response in the auricular lymph nodes draining the ears. A test item that elicits a stimulation index [SI of >3 (i.e., 3-fold greater proliferation than vehicle control treated animals)] should be considered positive for a dermal sensitization potential.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
The application of the test item (25 µL/ear) was made on the dorsum of both ears as described above. Six female mice/group received the vehicle (MEK, or the positive control substance (25% v/v α-hexylcinnamaldehyde), or 15, 30 and 60 w/v test item in MEK, once daily for three consecutive days. Ears were inspected and skin reactions were evaluated prior to each application of the test item and on day 6. All mice were weighed on days 1 and 6. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- A mean dpm value ± SD (standard deviation) was calculated for each group and the stimulation index (SI) was calculated using the absolute dpm value for each mouse as the numerator, and the mean dpm value from the vehicle-treated mice as the denominator.
1. The % increase in ear thickness was calculated for each ear using the following equation:
% Ear swelling = ((B – A)/A) x 100
Where, A = ear thickness measurement on Day 1 (µm); B = ear thickness measurement on Day 3 or 6 (µm)
2. The SI was calculated for each mouse using the following equation:
SI = Disintegrations per minute (dpm) of individual mouse / Average dpm of the vehicle control mice
Mean and SD were generated for body weight data (absolute and gain) and LLNA response (dpm and SI values). The body weight and dpm data were analysed by one-way analysis of variance. When the differences were indicated by the ANOVA, a comparison of treated vs. control groups was done using a Dunnett’s t-test (p<0.05).
Statistically significant differences (p<0.05), indicated by the aforementioned tests, are designated by the superscripts throughout the report as stated below:
+/- : Significantly higher (+)/lower (-) than the vehicle control group
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The sensitivity of this LLNA test was demonstrated via the response from the positive control (25% HCA in MEK), which elicited a stimulation index (SI) of 12.33, in comparison with the vehicle-treated mice.

DETAILS ON STIMULATION INDEX CALCULATION : Since the test item Licocare RBW 300 FL TP produced Stimulation Index (SI) < 3, it is considered “Negative” for skin sensitization, and therefore an EC3 value was not determined.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: There were no clinical signs, no erythema at the site of application
BODY WEIGHTS There were no significant effect on body weight gains

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- A topical application with 15, 30 and 60% w/v Licocare RBW 300 FL TP in Methyl ethyl ketone elicited a stimulation index (SI) of 1.54, 1.68 and 1.78, respectively. The test item Licocare RBW 300 FL TP did not demonstrate dermal sensitization potential in the mouse LLNA, as the lymph nodes draining the area of topical application did not elicit a proliferative response greater than the 3X threshold.
- Executive summary:
This Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) was conducted to evaluate the potential of the test item Licocare RBW 300 FL TP to cause contact sensitization by measuring the lymphocyte proliferative response from auricular lymph nodes following topical application to the female CBA/Ca mouse ear.
Screening Study: Oncedaily topicalapplication of the vehicleMethyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and 5, 10, 30, 45 and 60% w/vLicocare RBW 300 FL TP in MEKwere performed to one animal at each dose level. There were no clinical signs, no erythema at the site of application, no significant increase in the ear thickness and ear punch weights and no effect on body weight. The results of this screening test were used to determine the dosing concentration for the main study.
LLNA main study: Six female CBA/Ca mice/group received the vehicle (MEK) or 25% α-hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA: positive control in MEK) or15, 30 and 60% w/vLicocare RBW 300 FL TP in MEK on days 1 to 3. On day 6, the uptake of3H-methyl thymidine into the auricular lymph nodes draining the site of test item application was measured five hours post administration. Proper conduct of the LLNA was confirmed via a positive response using 25% α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, a contact sensitizer, which elicited proliferation with a Stimulation Index (SI) value of 12.33, in comparison to vehicle-treated mice.
There were no clinical signs, no local skin reactions at the tested concentrations and treatment had no significant effect on body weight gain.
The test item Licocare RBW 300 FL TP at dose concentrations of15, 30 and 60% elicited proliferative response with SI of 1.54, 1.68 and 1.78, respectively in comparison with the vehicle-treated mice.
The test item Licocare RBW 300 FL TP did not demonstrate dermal sensitization potential in the mouse LLNA, as the lymph nodes draining the area of topical application did not elicit a proliferative response greater than the 3X threshold.
