Based on this information the undiluted test item and the test item at concentrations of 50% or 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1 were selected for the main test.
MAIN STUDY
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The test item will be regarded as a sensitizer 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-sensitizer."
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: The mice were treated by daily application of 25 µL of test material at concentrations of 0 (vehicle control), 25, 50 and 100 % to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3). On Day 6, all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 μL 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. Five hours following the administration of 3HTdR all mice were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation. The draining auricular lymph nodes from the four mice were excised and pooled for each experimental group. For each group 1 mL of PBS was added to the pooled lymph nodes. A single cell suspension of pooled lymph node cells was prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation through a 200-mesh stainless steel gauze. Lymph node cells were washed with PBS and precipitated with 5 % (w/v) trichloroacetic acid (TCA) for radioactive material at 4 °C. Pellets were re-suspended in 1 mL TCA and transferred to 10 mL of scintillation fluid (Optiphase ‘Trisafe’). 3HTdR incorporation was measured by β -scintillation counting. 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). - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- No data
- Positive control results:
- Stimulation index for α-hexylcinnamaldehyde at 25 % v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1 was 7.33 and classified as a sensitiser.

Test Guidance
OECD Guideline 429 and EC Method B.42 (Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay).
Method and materials
Groups of CBA/Ca (CBA/CaOlaHsd) mice (4 females/dose) were topically applied with 50 µL (25 µL 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. On Day 6, the animals received a single intravenous injection of tritiated methyl thymidine (3HTdR). Five hours later, the animals were sacrificed and the auricular lymph nodes were excised. The proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph node draining the application site was measured by incorporation of 3HTdR. The results were expressed as disintegrations per minute (dpm) per group; dpm/node and the obtained values were used to calculate Stimulation Indices (SI). Animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs and body weight during the study. The test concentrations for the main study were determined from a preliminary study using one female mouse at the concentration of 100 %.
Results
No mortality and no clinical signs were observed during the observation period. Body weight of the animals was unaffected by the test item treatment. DPM per group for vehicle, 25, 50 and 100 % were 8967.55, 11288.98, 11444.45 and 13314.84, respectively. DPM per node for vehicle, 25, 50 and 100 % were 1120.94, 1411.12, 1430.56 and 1664.36, respectively. Stimulation index for 25, 50 and 100 % were 1.26, 1.28 and 1.48, respectively. Positive control (α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, 25%) exhibited evidence of sensitisation indicating the validity of the study. In this study, the substance is not a skin sensitizer in mice.
Conclusion
Under these test conditions, the substance is not classified as sensitising to the skin according to the CLP Regulation (EC)No. 1272/2008).

One reliable study is available. In this study (Sanders, 2013) performed under GLP according to OECD TG 429 and EC Method B.42, groups of CBA/Ca mice (4 females/dose) were topically applied with 50 µL (25 µL 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. On Day 6, the animals received a single intravenous injection of tritiated methyl thymidine (3HTdR). Five hours later, the animals were sacrificed and the auricular lymph nodes were excised. The proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph node draining the application site was measured by incorporation of 3HTdR. The results were expressed as disintegrations per minute (dpm) per group; dpm/node and the obtained values were used to calculate Stimulation Indices (SI).

The test concentrations for the main study were determined from a preliminary study using one female mouse at the concentration of 100 %. No mortality and no clinical signs were observed during the observation period. Body weight of the animals was unaffected by the test item treatment. DPM per group for vehicle, 25, 50 and 100 % were 8967.55, 11288.98, 11444.45 and 13314.84, respectively. DPM per node for vehicle, 25, 50 and 100 % were 1120.94, 1411.12, 1430.56 and 1664.36, respectively. Stimulation index for 25, 50 and 100 % were 1.26, 1.28 and 1.48, respectively. Positive control (α-hexylcinnamaldehyde, 25%) exhibited evidence of sensitisation indicating the validity of the study. In this study, the substance is not a skin sensitizer in mice.
Supporting data are also available. Read-across to the toxicological properties of fatty acid polyols (Fatty acids, C5-9, esters with pentaerythritol (EC 270-290-3, CAS 68424-30-6) and Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate (EC 234-392-1, CAS 11138-60-6)) and their analogues is applicable based on the similarity in structure and physico-chemical properties.
The justification for read-across is presented in Section 13 Assessment reports- Read-across justification.
In a supporting study, a Guinea Pig Maximisation Test of Skin Sensitisation was performed with CAS No. 11138-60-6 (Decanoic acid, ester with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol octanoate) according to OECD Guideline 406 (Blanset, 1997). 20 male and female Dunkin-Harley guinea pigs were treated with the test substance and compared with 10 negative control animals. The sensitivity of the animal strain was tested using Hexylcinnamic aldehyde (HCA) as positive control substance. A 5% dilution of the test substance in propylene glycol was used for intradermal induction and 100% used for epidermal induction of the scapular region on days 1 and 8. 14 days after the last induction treatment, all animals were challenged epicutaneously with the undiluted test substance. 24 h after challenge one out of twenty animals showed a skin reaction compared to 2 out of ten for the positive control. 48 hours after challenge exposure all skin examination scores were zero in all test animals.
The skin sensitization potential of the Fatty Acid Polyol with CAS No. 68424-31-7 (Fatty acids, C5-10, esters with pentaerythritol) was evaluated in guinea pigs with a Buehler test for skin sensitisation (Lees, 1991). 20 male albino guinea pigs were treated with the test substance and compared with 10 control animals. Three epidermal inductions were performed with 100 % test substance in weekly intervals for 6 hours under occlusive conditions. 14 days after the last induction treatment, all animals were challenged for 6 hours epicutaneously with 100% (left shorn flank) and 30% (right shorn flank) test substance (diluted in corn oil) under occlusive conditions. Animals were evaluated for skin reactions 24 and 48 h after challenge. No signs for irritation or sensitisation were observed during induction and challenge of the animals.
