Conclusions:

In the study the test item GR-50-0572 dissolved in acetone:olive oil (4+1 (v/v)) was
assessed for its possible skin sensitising potential.
For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations
of 5, 10, and 25% (w/w). The highest concentration tested was the highest concentration
that could be applied whilst avoiding systemic toxicity and excessive local skin irritation as
confirmed by two pre-experiments.
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. A statistically significant
increase in ear weight was observed in the positive control group. For the measured ear
thickness, this was not observed. For the test groups, neither the measured ear weights
nor the ear thickness showed a statistically significant or biologically relevant increase in
comparison to the vehicle control group.
In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 2.70, 4.05, and 10.87 were determined with the
test item at concentrations of 5, 10, and 25% (w/w) in acetone:olive oil (4+1 (v/v)),
respectively. A statistically significant increase was observed in comparison to the vehicle
control group (p<0.05) and a clear dose response was obtained.
An outlier was identified in the vehicle control group and in the high dose group (DPM
value determined for animals number 2 and 19). However, as exclusion of the outliers did
not have an influence on the overall test result, the values in question were not excluded
from calculation.
The S.I. determined with the positive control was 10.77, demonstrating the validity of the
study.
The test item GR-50-0572 was found to be a skin sensitiser and an EC3 value of
6.1% (w/w) was derived.
