MAIN STUDY

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA OECD 429.
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: EC3

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:

There were 3 groups of 4 animals in each test group and the control. The test groups were, 2.5, 5, 10 %.
The test item was placed into an appropriate container on a tared balance and acetone/olive oil (4+1 v/v) was added (weight per weight).
The different test item concentrations were prepared individually. The preparations were made freshly before each dosing occasion.

Each test group of mice was treated by (epidermal) topical application to the dorsal surface of each ear with test item concentrations of 2.5, 5, and 10% in acetone/olive oil (4+1 v/v). The application volume, 25 μL/ear/day, was spread over the entire dorsal surface (∅ ∼ 8 mm) of each ear once daily for three consecutive days. A further group of mice (control animals) was treated with an equivalent volume of the relevant vehicle alone (control animals).

Five days after the first topical application (day 6) 250 μL of phosphate-buffered saline containing 20 μCi of 3H-methyl thymidine (equivalent to 80.1 μCi/mL 3HTdR) were injected into each test and control mouse via the tail vein.

Approximately five hours after treatment with 3HTdR all mice were euthanized by using CO2, which was, after harvesting of the lymph nodes, followed by cervical dislocation to ensure death.

The draining lymph nodes were rapidly excised and pooled for each experimental group (8 nodes per group). Single cell suspensions (in phosphate buffered saline) of pooled lymph node cells were prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation through stainless steel gauze (200 μm mesh size). After washing two times with phosphate buffered saline (approx.10 mL) the lymph node cells were resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid (approx. 3 mL) and incubated at approximately +4 °C for at least 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules.

The precipitates were then resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid (1 mL) and transferred to scintillation vials with 10 mL of scintillation liquid and thoroughly mixed. The level of 3HTdR incorporation was then measured in a β-scintillation counter. Similarly, background 3HTdR levels were also measured in two 1 mL-aliquots of 5 % trichloroacetic acid. The β- scintillation counter expresses 3HTdR incorporation as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute (DPM).
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Statistics:
All calculations conducted on the DPM values were performed with a validated test script of “R”, a language and environment for statistical computing and graphics.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The animals treated with the positive control item alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (25% (w/v)) showed a distinctly positive response (mean S.I. of 10.33), corroborating the validity of the assay.

Any other information on results incl. tables

During the test the temperature was between 19 to 24 °C instead of 20 to 24 °C for several hours; this is only a study plan deviation and within the guideline recommendations of 22 ± 3 °C.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the condition of the study, the test item, AD-464 did not meet the criteria for skin sensitisation in accordance with the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
Executive summary:

OECD 429 (2018): Three groups each of four female mice were treated once daily with the test item at concentrations of 2.5, 5, and 10% in acetone/olive oil (4+1 v/v) by topical application to the dorsum of each ear for three consecutive days.  The highest concentration tested was the highest concentration that could be achieved whilst avoiding systemic toxicity and excessive local skin irritation, as confirmed by two pre-experiments. A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle (acetone/olive oil (4+1 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 of 3H-methyl thymidine measured in a β- scintillation counter.

No mortality was reported and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed. Some animal some animals showed an erythema of the ear skin with statistically significant and biologically relevant increase in ear thickness.

Stimulation Indices of 2.29, 1.18, 2.73 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 2.5, 5, and 10% in acetone/olive oil (4+1 v/v). 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 animals treated with the positive control item alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (25% (w/v)) showed a distinctly positive response (mean S.I. of 10.33), corroborating the validity of the assay.

Based on the condition of the study, the test item did not meet the criteria for skin sensitisation in accordance with the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
