Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
dimethylformamide
Remarks:
AOO (acetone:olive oil, 4:1) for positive control groups
Concentration:
The test item was administered at three different concentrations (5; 2,5; 1 w/v%) according to the results of the dose range finding test.
No. of animals per dose:
4 animal/dose
Details on study design:
Selection of test item concentrations was based on the results of a formulation evaluation and also results of preliminary irritation/toxicity test to find an appropriate solvent and the maximum applicable concentration according to the relevant guidelines. Based on the preliminary test results the test item was examined in the main test at 5 %, 2.5 % and 1 % (w/v) concentrations as formulations in the selected vehicle of N,N-Dimethylformamide (DMF). Appropriate positive control (α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde [HCA] in 25 % (w/v) concentration), furthermore two negative control groups dosed with the vehicles of the test and positive control groups, respectively, were employed.
The positive control item (25 % (w/v) HCA in Acetone: Olive oil 4:1 (v/v) mixture, AOO) induced the appropriate stimulation over the control, thus confirming the validity of the assay.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Parameter:

Remarks on result:
other: see Remark
Remarks:
The stimulation index (SI = the DPN of a treated (positive control or test item) group divided by the DPN of the respective negative control group) for each treatment group was also calculated. A stimulation index of 3 or greater is an indication of a positive result. When monotonic dose-response is seen, attempt is made to calculate EC3 (dose calculated to induce a stimulation index of 3) with the help of linear regression on dose-response relationship. All calculations were made by Microsoft Excel Software. (See Table1 for the values.)
Parameter:
other: disintegrations per minute (DPM)
Remarks on result:
other: see Remark
Remarks:
DPM (disintegration per minute) was measured for each treatment group. The measured DPM values were corrected with the background DPM value. The average of the two measured DPM values of 5 % (w/v) TCA solutions was used as the background DPM value. The results were expressed as DPN (DPM divided by the number of pooled lymph nodes). (See Table1 for the values.)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
In conclusion, under the conditions of the present Local Lymph Node Assay, Levodione (CAS No. 21800-83-9) tested at the maximum attainable concentration of 5 % (based on solubility) and at concentrations of 2.5 % and 1 % (w/v) as formulations in an appropriate vehicle (DMF) was shown to have no skin sensitization potential.
