- Details on study design:
- PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
The mouse was treated by daily application of 25 μI of the undiluted test item to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3). The mouse was observed twice daily on Days 1, 2 and 3 and once daily on Days 4, 5 and 6.
Any signs of excessive local irritation noted during this period were recorded.
- Systemic toxicity: Any signs of toxicity noted during this period were recorded.
- Ear thickness easurements: The thickness of each ear was measured using an Oditest micrometer (Dyer, PA), pre-dose on Day 1, post dose on Days 2 and 3 and on Days 4 to 6. Any changes in the ear thickness were noted. Daily mean ear thickness values were calculated and the overall mean ear thickness changes were calculated for Days 2 to 5. A mean ear thickness increase of ~25% was considered to indicate excessive irritation and limited biological relevance to the endpoint of sensitisation.
MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The proliferation response of lymph node cells was expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph node (disintegrations per minute/node) and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporation into lymph node cells of test nodes relative to that recorded for the control nodes (Stimulation Index). The test item will be regarded as a sensitiser if at least one concentration of the test item results in a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values. Any test item failing to produce a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation will be classified as a "non-sensitiser".
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Groups of four mice were treated with the undiluted test item or the test item at concentrations of 50% or 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4: 1. The preliminary screening test suggested that the test item would not produce systemic toxicity or excessive local irritation at the highest suitable concentration. The mice were treated by daily application of 25 μI of the appropriate concentration of the test item to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3). The test item formulation was administered using an automatic micropipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette. A further group of four mice received the vehicle alone in the same manner.
Five days following the first topical application of the test item or vehicle (Day 6) all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 μI of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 3H-methyl thymidine (3HTdR: 80 μCi/ml, specific activity 2.0 Ci/mmol, ARC UK Ltd) giving a total of 20 μCi to each mouse. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- a-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, tech., 85% induced a stimulation index of 7,25 and was thereforeconsidered to be a sensitiser under the conditions of the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not classified
- Remarks:
- Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC)
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results in this study the compound does not need to be classified as a skin sensitizer in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC). This result is used for read-across to Ethyl Amyl Ketone.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed according to OECD Guideline 429 and Method 842 (EC) No. 440/2008 to assess the skin sensitisation potential of Methyl n-Amyl Ketone in the CBA/Ca strain mouse following topical application to the dorsal surface of the ear. Following a preliminary screening test in which no clinical signs of toxicity were noted at a concentration of 100%, this concentration was selected as the highest dose investigated in the main test of the Local Lymph Node Assay. Three groups, each of four animals, were treated with 50μI (25μI per ear) of the undiluted test item or the test item as a solution in acetone/olive oil 4:1 at concentrations of 50% or 25% v/v. A further group of four animals was treated with acetone/olive oil 4:1 alone. The Stimulation Index expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group ( 25%, 50% and 100%) divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group were 0.44, 0.58 and 1.06 respectively. Indicating a negative result for all 3 dose groups. Therefore, the test item was considered to be a non-sensitiser under the conditions of the test does not need to be classified as a skin sensitizer in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC). This result is used for read-across to Ethyl Amyl Ketone.
