Executive summary:

The dermal sensitization potential of the test article was determined in the Mouse Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA). The study was conducted in compliance with OECD GLP (1997) regulations. The test method was based on OECD Guideline 429 (2010). The test article was prepared in water at concentrations of 10, 20, or 100% w/w and experimental groups of five female CBA/J mice were treated with one of the concentrations on three consecutive days with 25 uL of the test solution. The test article was applied by open application on the dorsal surface of each ear. Five vehicle control animals were similarly treated. Three days after the last exposure, all animals were injected with 3H-methyl thymidine and after five hours the draining (auricular) lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each animal. After precipitating the DNA of the lymph node cells, radioactivity measurements were performed. The activity was expressed as the number of Disintigrations Per Minute (DPM) and stimulation indes (SI) was subsequently calculated for each group. No irritation of the ears was observed in any of the animals examined. All auricular lymph nodes of the animals of the experimental and controls groups were considered normal in size. No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted for any of the animals. Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with the test substance concentrations of 0, 10, 20 and 100% were 496, 525, 424 and 523 DPM, respectively. The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations 10, 20, and 100% were 1.1, 0.9, and 1.1, respectively. Based on the results of the study, the test article did not show dermal sensitization potential.
