- Details on study design:
- Each test group of mice was treated by (epidermal) topical application to the dorsal surface of each ear with test item concentrations of 5, 10 and 25% 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 19.7 μCi of 3H-methyl thymidine (equivalent to 78.9 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 euthanised by using CO2, which was, after harvesting of the lymph nodes, followed by cervical dislocation to ensure death.
After excision, the lymph nodes were pooled per animal and weighed immediately using an analytical balance. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- The mean values and standard deviations were calculated in the body weight tables, for the ear weights, the lymph node weights and lymph node cell count, and for the DPM values (group mean DPM ± standard deviation). The Dean-Dixon-Test and the Grubb’s test were used for detection of possible outliers (performed with Microsoft Excel 2007).
- Positive control results:
- The sensitivity and reliability of the experimental technique employed was assessed by use of α-hexyl cinnamaldehyde dissolved in acetone/olive oil (4+1, v/v) (compound listed in OECD 429 Guideline) which is known to have skin sensitisation properties in mice. The periodic positive control experiment was performed using CBA/CaOlaHsd mice in October 2013
- Parameter:
- SI
- Remarks on result:
- other: test substance: 1.17 (5% 2-PHMA); 1.24 (10% 2-PHMA); 1.34 (25% 2-PHMA)
- Parameter:
- other: disintegrations per minute (DPM)
- Remarks on result:
- other: test substance: 1485.2 (5% 2-PHMA); 1579.4 (10% 2-PHMA); 1703.8 (25% 2-PHMA); vehicle control: 1271.5
- Executive summary:
The test item 2-Propylheptyl methacrylate was not a skin sensitiser under the test conditions of this study.

Lymph Node Weights and Cell Counts
The measured lymph node weights and –cell counts of all animals treated were recorded after sacrifice. A statistically significant or biologically relevant increase in lymph node weights or –cell counts was not observed in any of the test item treated groups in comparison to the vehicle control group. For BALB/c mice, a cut-off value for the lymph node cell count index of 1.55 was reported for a positive response (See Ref. 8). The indices determined for the lymph node cell count did not exceed this threshold.
Ear Weights
The measured ear weight of all animals treated was recorded on test day 6 (after necropsy). A statistically significant increase in ear weights was observed in the high dose group in comparison to the vehicle control group (p<0.05). Furthermore, the cut-off value (1.1) of the ear weight index for a positive response regarding ear skin irritation reported for BALB/c mice (see Ref. 9) was slightly exceeded in the high dose group (index of 1.12).

a) Mean DPM/animal was determined by dividing the sum of the measured values from lymph nodes of all animals within a group by the number of animals in that group (5 animals; except for the vehicle control group with 4 animals, as animal 3 was identified as an outlier and excluded from the calculation)
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
In this study the test item 2-Propylheptyl methacrylate was assessed for its skin sensitising potential using the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) in mice. Test item solution at different concentrations was prepared in the vehicle acetone:olive oil (4+1, v/v). For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 5, 10 and 25% (w/w). The highest concentration tested was the highest concentration that could be achieved whilst avoiding systemic toxicity and excessive local skin irritation (as determined by two pre-experiments). In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 1.17, 1.24 and 1.34 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10 and 25% (w/w) in acetone:olive oil (4+1, v/v), respectively. The test item 2-Propylheptyl methacrylate was thus not a skin sensitiser under the test conditions of this study.
