MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay - Proliferation assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: Stimulation index (SI = DPN value of a treated group divided by the DPN value of the negative control group) for each treatment group was also calculated. A stimulation index of 3 or greater is an indication of a positive result.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
The solubility of the test item was examined in a short Preliminary Compatibility Test. The standard OECD vehicles were assessed: Acetone : Olive oil 4:1 (v:v) mixture (AOO), N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF), Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), Propylene glycol (PG), Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) and 1% aqueous Pluronic® PE9200 (1% Pluronic). The 100% (w/v) formulation was not achievable using any of these vehicles. The best vehicle taking into account the test item characteristics, its usage and the requirements of the relevant OECD guideline was considered to be DMF and the highest achievable concentration was 50% (w/v).
Animals were topically dosed with 25 μL of the appropriate formulation on the dorsal surface of each ear. Each animal was dosed once a day for three
consecutive days (Days 1, 2 and 3). There was no treatment on Days 4, 5 and 6.
Each animal was observed daily for any clinical signs, including local irritation and systemic toxicity. Individual body weights were recorded on Day 1 and on Day 6. Ear thickness was measured on Day 1, 3 and 6 and after the euthanasia. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Positive control results:
- The positive control substance was examined at a concentration of 25% (w/v) in the relevant vehicle (DMF) using CBA/CaOlaHsd mice. No mortality, cutaneous reactions or signs of toxicity were observed for the positive control substance in the study. A significant lymphoproliferative response (stimulation index value of 9.5) was noted for HCA in the main experiment. This value was considered to confirm the appropriate performance of the assay.
- Parameter:
- SI
- Remarks on result:
- other: The stimulation index values were 1.9, 3.5 and 3.1 at concentrations of 50, 25 and 10% (w/v), respectively.
- Parameter:
- other: disintegrations per minute (DPM)
- Remarks on result:
- other: The disintegrations per minute (DPM) were 7807, 14068 and 12359 at concentrations of 50, 25 and 10% (w/v), respectively.
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay, Indoline-2,3-dione, tested in a suitable vehicle, was shown to have sensitisation potential (sensitizer) in the Local Lymph Node Assay.
- Executive summary:
The aim of this study was to determine the skin sensitisation potential of Indoline-2,3-dione following dermal exposure, according to OECD Guideline 429, EU Method B.42 and following GLP. The Preliminary Irritation / Toxicity Test was performed in CBA/CaOlaHsd mice using two doses (50 and 25% (w/v) in DMF). Based on the observations recorded in the preliminary test, 50% (w/v) was selected as top dose for the main test. In the main assay, 20 female mice were allocated to 5 groups of four animals each: 3 groups received the test item at 50, 25 and 10% (w/v) concentrations; 1 group received DMF (vehicle control); and 1 group received 25% (w/v) α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA) (positive control). The test item solutions were applied on the dorsal surface of ears of experimental animals (25 μL/ear) for 3 consecutive days (Days 1, 2 and 3). There was no treatment on Days 4, 5 and 6. On Day 6, the cell proliferation in the local lymph nodes was measured by incorporation of tritiated methyl thymidine (3HTdR) and the values obtained were used to calculate Stimulation Indices (SI). No mortality or signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study. No treatment related body weight loss was observed. Test item precipitate / minimal amount of test item precipitate was observed on the ears of the animals in the 50% (w/v) dose group. There were no indications of any irritancy at the site of application. The stimulation index values were 1.9, 3.5 and 3.1 at concentrations of 50, 25 and 10% (w/v), respectively (surpassing the threshold of 3). The extrapolated EC3 value was 8.0% (w/v). A significant lymphoproliferative response (stimulation index value of 9.5) was noted for the positive control chemical, this result confirmed the validity of the assay. In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay, Indoline-2,3-dione, tested in a suitable vehicle, was shown to have sensitisation potential (sensitizer) in the Local Lymph Node Assay.
Reference
The test item is regarded as a sensitizer if both of the following criteria are fulfilled:
- That exposure to at least one concentration of the test item resulted in an incorporation of 3HTdR at least 3-fold or greater than recorded in control mice, as indicated by the stimulation index.
- The data are compatible with a conventional dose response, although allowance must be made (especially at high topical concentrations) for either local toxicity or immunological suppression.
No mortality or signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study, either the preliminary or the main test. There were no indications of any irritancy at the site of application. No marked body weight loss (>5%) was detected for any animals except of one animal in the 25% (w/v) group and one animal in the positive control group, but based on the body weights of the other animals in these groups, these facts were considered as animal variability.

- Additional information:
Key study: A Local Lymph Node Assay was performed using female CBA mice, in accordance to OECD Guideline 429, EU Method B.42 and following GLP. A Preliminary Irritation/Toxicity test was performed and the top dose of 50% (w/v) on N,N-dimethylformamide was selected for the main test. Twenty animals were distributed in 5 groups: Solvent control, Positive control (25% (w/v) HCA) and 3 dose level groups (10, 25 and 50% (w/v). The test item solutions were applied on the dorsal surface of ears of experimental animals for 3 consecutive days. On Day 6, the cell proliferation in the local lymph nodes was measured by incorporation of tritiated methyl thymidine (3HTdR) and the values obtained were used to calculate stimulation indices (SI). No signs of systemic or local toxicity, mortality, or body weight loss were observed during the study. The stimulation index values were 1.9, 3.5 and 3.1 at concentrations of 50, 25 and 10% (w/v), respectively. The extrapolated EC3 value was 8.0% (w/v).
In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay, Indoline-2,3-dione, tested in a suitable vehicle, showed to have sensitisation potential (sensitizer) in the Local Lymph Node Assay.
