Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In the study the test item Acetamid formulated in ethanol/water (7+3, v/v) was assessed for its possible skin sensitising potential following OECD Guideline 429.
For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 10, 25, and 50% (w/v).
The animals did not show any signs of systemic toxicity or local skin irritation during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.
In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 0.93, 1.23, and 1.08 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 10, 25, and 50% (w/v) in ethanol/water (7+3, v/v), respectively.
The test item Acetamid was not a skin sensitiser under the test conditions of this study. - Executive summary:
In order to study a possible skin sensitising potential of Acetamid, three groups each of four female mice were treated once daily with the test item at concentrations of 10, 25, and 50% (w/v) in ethanol/water (7+3, v/v) by topical application to the dorsum of each ear for three consecutive days. A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle (ethanol/water (7+3, v/v)) only. Five days after the first topical application the mice were injected intravenously into a tail vein with radio-labelled thymidine (3H-methyl thymidine). 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 of3H‑methyl thymidine measured in ab-scintillation counter.
All treated animals survived the scheduled study period and no signs of systemic toxicity or local skin irritation were observed.
A test item is regarded as a sensitiser in the LLNA if the exposure to one or more test concentration resulted in a 3-fold or greater increase in incorporation of3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the Stimulation Index (S.I.). The estimated concentration of test item required to produce a S.I. of 3 is referred to as the EC3 value.
In this study Stimulation Indices of 0.93, 1.23, and 1.08 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 10, 25, and 50% (w/v) in ethanol/water (7+3, v/v). A dose response was not observed. The EC3 value could not be calculated, since none of the tested concentrations induced a S.I. greater than the threshold value of 3. The test item Acetamid was not a skin sensitiser under the test conditions of this study.
