Range Finding Test:
compund solubility: soluble in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at 50% (w/w).
no signs of irritation or systemic toxicity at 50% (w/w) during observation period (day 1-6 post dose)

Main Study
Days 1-3: 25 µl of test solution were applied each day to the dorsal surface of each ear. The test material was applied with an automatic pipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette. Each concentration group and the control group were treated in the same manner.
Days 4 and 5: no treatment
Day 6: All mice were injected with 250 µl phosphate buffered saline containing 3H-methyl thymidine, giving a total of 20 µCi to each mouse.
5 hours after application the animal were killed.
The lymph nodes of ech group were pooled for further treatment.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

n.a. not applicable

clinical observations and mortality: There were no death and no signs of systemic toxicity noted in the test or control group animals during the test. Body weight changes of the test anmal between day 1 and 6 were comparable to those observed with the control group animals during the same period.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

the test-substance is a non-sensitizer under the conditions of the test.

Executive summary:

the test substance was applied in concentrations of 10, 25 and 50%. The observed S.I. were 0,61, 0,51 and 0,98 for each of the concentrations. The positive control showed an S.I. of 3.7. A S.I. of 3 is considered as the threshold for a positive response.

Conclusion: The test substance is non-sensitizing under test conditions.
