- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Irritation: A preliminary irritation study was conducted in order to select the highest test substance concentration to be used in the main study. In principle, this concentration should be well tolerated systemically by the animals and may give moderate irritation. Two test substance concentrations were tested; a 75% and 100% concentration. At the highest concentration (undiluted item) the animals showed signs of significant irritation. Increase in ear thickness was 40% upon the third measurement. At both test item concentrations, mild to moderate erythema (erythema scoring grade 2) was observed on the ears of the animals after application.
Therefore, it was decided by the sponsor to lower the dose levels for the main test and assay the test substance at 10%, 25% and 50% (w/v) in acetone/olive oil 4/1 v/v.
MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: 3H-methyl thymidine incorporation determined by beta-scintillation
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: If the results indicate a SI ≥ 3, the test substance may be regarded as a skin sensitizer, based on the test guideline and recommendations done by ICCVAM.The results were evaluated according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2007) and the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on classification, labelling and packaging of substances and mixtures. The EC3 value (the estimated test substance concentration that will give a SI =3) was determined, using linear interpolation.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
The dorsal surface of both ears was epidermally treated (25 μL/ear) with the test substance in each test group, once daily for three consecutive days. The control animals were treated the same as the experimental animals, except that the vehicle was administered instead of the test substance. Five days after the first topical application the mice were injected intravenously into a tail vein with radio-labelled thymidine (3H-methyl thymidine, 3HTdR). Approximately five hours after intravenous injection, the mice were sacrificed, the draining auricular lymph nodes were 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 3HTdR measured in a β-scintillation counter. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The sensitivity and reliability of the experimental technique was assessed by the use of Alpha-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde. The validation- / positive control study was performed as a stand alone study at intervals not longer than 6 months. In the recent representative positive control validation study (D19153) S.I. values of 4.8, 5.8 and 24.5 were determined with the test item dissolved in acetoen/olive oil (4:1, v/v) at concentrations of 5%, 10% and 25% (w/v), respectively.

Resultsopen allclose all
- Parameter:
- SI
- Remarks on result:
- other: The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations 10, 25 and 50% were 1.6, 2.6 and 3.7 respectively. An EC3 value of 34.1% was derived (conctrations of 25 and 50% were used for calculation of the EC3 value).
- Parameter:
- other: disintegrations per minute (DPM)
- Remarks on result:
- other: Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with test substance concentrations 10, 25 and 50% were 2701, 4370 and 6169 DPM respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle control group was 1684.
Any other information on results incl. tables
No deaths occurred during the study period. Neither clinical signs on the ears of the animals nor systemic findings were observed during the study period. The body weights of the animals were within the range commonly recorded for animals of the strain and age.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results in the LLNA the test material shows a sensitising potential when tested up to the concentration of 50% (w/v) in acetone/olive oil 4/1 v/v. The EC3 value calculated was 34.1%.
