- Remarks:
- For the test item; Acetone/Olive Oil, 4:1, v/v was used for positive control
- Concentration:
- 100% (pre-screen test)
100%, 50%, 25% (main test)
100% concentration was obtained by mixing of 1g of test item with 1mL of vehicle - No. of animals per dose:
- 5 females – control (vehicle)
5 females – positive control
15 females – test item
4 females - pre-screen test plus spare animals - Details on study design:
- PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
The pre-screen test was conducted under the same conditions as the main LLNA study, except there was no assessment of lymph node proliferation. The test item was tested at a concentration of 100%.
- Compound solubility: The test item was insoluble in the vehicle; therefore, a homogeneous suspension was obtained.
- Irritation: Both ears of each mouse were assessed for any sign of irritation. Excessive local skin irritation is indicated by an erythema score ≥ 3 and/or an increase in ear thickness of ≥25%.
- Systemic toxicity: All mice (2 mice/group) were observed daily for any clinical signs of toxicity or local irritation at the application site. Body weights were recorded pre-test and prior to the termination (day 6).
- Ear thickness measurements: Ear thickness was measured by a calliper on Day 1 (pre-dose), Day 3 and Day 6
- Erythema scores: Erythema scores were scored according to the guideline.
MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: random
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: A substance is regarded as sensitizer in the LLNA test when SI≥3.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Day 1:
Each animal was identified and the body weight was recorded. To the dorsum of each ear 25µL of the appropriate dilution of the test item, or the vehicle alone was applied.
Days 2 and 3:
The application procedure carried out on day 1 was repeated.
Days 4 and 5: No treatment.
Day 6:
The body weight of each animal was recorded. 250µL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 2 µCi (7.4 x 104 Bq) of 125I-iododeoxyuridine and 10-5M fluorodeoxyuridine was injected into all test and control mice via the tail vein.
Five hours later, the animals were sacrificed. The draining auricular lymph nodes from each ear were excised and pooled in PBS for each experimental group, (pooled treatment group approach) and weighted. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- For calculation of mean, S.D. and t-test values of body weights MS Excel was used.

Lymph Node Proliferation
In comparison with the control group, an increase of the pooled lymph node weight was not recorded at used concentrations. The pooled lymph node weights of treated groups were 0.0292g for 25% concentration, 0.0359g for 50% concentration and 0.0320g for 100% concentration of tested item. The lymph node weight of control group and positive control group were 0.0457g and 0.0764g, respectively. The DPM values for the three treated groups were 749 (25%), 2048 (50%) and 1576 (100%), respectively. The EC3 value could not be calculated, as all measured points were below the stimulation index of three. The lymph node weights, DPM and SI values are shown below.
DETAILS ON STIMULATION INDEX CALCULATION
see below
EC3 CALCULATION
Calculated SI values in treated groups remained under the value of 3, which is the threshold to consider the substance a sensitizer. Therefore, it was not possible to calculate an EC3 value.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
Animals were carefully observed for any clinical symptoms, either of local irritation at the application site or systemic toxicity. The daily clinical observation of the animals did not show visible clinical signs.
BODY WEIGHTS
The animal body weights were measured prior to the first treatment and at the scheduled sacrifice. The decrease of body weight was observed in all treated groups and at concentrations of 50% and 100%, the decrease was statistically significant.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Remarks:
- Substance is not a skin sensitizer
- Conclusions:
- The study was conducted under GLP according to OECD guideline 429 on the registered substance itself. The method is to be considered scientifically reasonable with no deficiencies in documentation or any deviations, the validity criteria are fulfilled, positive and negative controls gave the appropriate response. Hence, the results can be considered as reliable to assess the sensitizing potential of N,N-Dimethyl-N-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium betaine; (SPE) in mice. All animals survived throughout the test period without showing any clinical signs of toxicity or local irritation. Calculated SI values in treated groups remained under the value of 3, which is the threshold to consider the substance a sensitizer.
N,N-Dimethyl-N-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium betaine; (SPE) was so identified as a non-sensitizing agent in the Local Lymph Node Assay. Hence, no classification as skin sensitizer is triggered. - Executive summary:
The sensitization potential of N,N-Dimethyl-N-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium betaine; (SPE) was evaluated using the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) in a OECD 429 guideline study under GLP. The LLNA has been developed to determine the allergic contact sensitization potential of chemicals.
Based on the recommendations of the OECD Guideline 429, the test item was dissolved in Dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO). The positive control (alpha-Hexyl cinnamic aldehyde) (25%) was dissolved in acetone:olive oil 4:1 (v/v).
The Pre-screen test was performed using a dose of 100 % (w/v). Based on the observations recorded in the preliminary test, the concentration of 100 % was selected as top dose for the main test.
Five female mice (CBA/Ca) per group were topically exposed (dorsum of both ears) to the test item at concentrations of 25%, 50% and 100%, to the positive control and to the vehicle only. Lymphocyte proliferation was measured using incorporation of radioactive 125I-iododeoxyuridine and 10-5 M fluorodeoxyuridine in the draining lymph nodes. The radioactive incorporation was expressed as disintegrations per minute (DPM)/pooled treatment group and compared with DPM value from the vehicle control group and expressed as the Stimulation Index (SI).
After application of the test item at three concentrations (25%, 50% and 100% w/v) the animals did not show visible clinical symptoms of either local irritation or systemic toxicity.
In this study Stimulation Indices (SI) of1.06, 2.90 and 2.23 were determined with the test item at concentration of 25, 50, and 100% in dimethyl sulfoxide, respectively. The EC3 value could not be calculated, as all measured points were below the Stimulation Index of three.
The test item N,N-Dimethyl-N-(2-methacryloyloxyethyl)-N-(3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium betaine; (SPE) is not considered a skin sensitizer under the test conditions of this study.
