- dimethyl sulphoxide
- Concentration:
- 0, 5, 10, and 20% (W/v)

2 females in the pre-test - Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: DMSO was selected because in any other vehicle test item concentrations above 20% could not be obtained
- 20% (w/v) was the highest technically applicable concentration
- Irritation: no systemic toxicity after single application of test item concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10 or 20% (w/v); irritating effects could not be assessed due to yellow staining at concentrations of 10 and 20% (w/v), but no ear swelling was observed
- Lymph node proliferation response: no data
MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
1: exposure to at least one concentration of the test item resulted in an incorporation of 3H-methyl thymidine at least 3-fold or greater than that recorded in control mice as indicated by the stimulation index
2: data are compatible with a conventional dose response, although allowance must be made for either local toxicity or immunological suppression
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- individual preparation of weight volume dilutions using a magnetic stirrer as homogenizer
- test item preparations were made feshly before each dosing occasion
- 25 µl were spread over the entire dorsal surface of each ear lobe once daily for three consecutive days - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- - calculations of mean values and standard deviations for body weight
- the EC3 value was calculated according to the equation EC3 = (a-c) [(3-d)/(b-d)] + c; where EC3 is the estimated concentration of the test item required to produce a 3-fold increase in draining Iymph node cell proliferative activity; (a, b) and (c, d) are respectively the co-ordinates of the two pair of data lying immediately above and below the value of 3 on the local lymph node assay dose response Plot. - Positive control results:
- Stimulation indices of 2.29, 3.21 and 8.44 were determined with the positive control item at concentrations of 5%, 10% and 25% (w/v), respectively, in acetone:olive oil, 4:1 (v/v). An EC3 value was calculated (= 8.9% (w/v)).
- Parameter:
- SI
- Remarks on result:
- other: Stimulation indices (SI) were all below 3. The following SI were calculated: 5% test item: 1.87 10% test item: 1.79 20% test item: 2.35
- Parameter:

- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Tested in this study according to OECD test guideline no. 429 and GLP conditions the test item was not a skin sensitizer.
- Executive summary:
In the study the test item dissolved in DMSO was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential.
For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 %.
No cases of mortality were observed.No symptoms of systemic findings were observed during the study period. Due to the intense yellow colour of the test item at 10 and 20 % (w/v) local irritation reactions such asear redness could not be detected. No swelling of the ears was observed at any of the animals.
In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 1.87, 1.79, and 2.35 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10, and 20 % (w/v) in DMSO, respectively.
The test item was found to be not a skin sensitiser in this assay.
