MAIN STUDY
RELIABILITY CHECK:
The main study included a positive control group treated with hexyl cinnamic aldehyde diluted (25% v/v) in vehicle (acetone/olive oil 4:1 v/v). The report included a summary of a reliability check conducted in February 2011.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Test material formulation: shortly before each administration (used within 2 hours). Formulations were shaken until visible homogeneity was obtained.
Administration: vehicle, formulated or undiluted test material, or positive control substance was applied topically on the dorsum of both ears, at a volume of 25 μL per ear, once daily on three consecutive days (study days 0, 1 and 2).
On day 5, all mice received an intravenous injection (tail vein) of 250 μL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 20 μCi of [3H]-thymidine. Five hours after this injection, the animals were sacrificed by intraperitoneal injection of sodium pentobarbital.
MEASUREMENTS AND OBSERVATIONS:
- General condition and behaviour: checked daily.
- Body weight: on days -1, 0 (first treatment day) and 5 (day of sacrifice).
- Appearance of lymph nodes and ears at sacrifice.
- 3H-thymidine incorporation in draining auricular lymph nodes (ALN): ALN (pooled per animal) were transfered into PBS and gently rubbed between the rough ends of microscopic slides to suspend the cells. After washing (twice), the cells were resuspended in 5% trichloroacetic acid, left for about 18 hours at 2-10°C, and centrifuged. After removal of the supernatant, the precipitate was left for 24 hours in 1 mL of 1.5 M KOH in 20% EtOH. Next, the solution was transferred into a scintillation vial and 20 mL liquid scintillation cocktail (Hionic Fluor, Perkin Elmer) was added. The vial was thoroughly shaken and the number of disintegrations per minute (DPM) was determined by counting for five minutes in a liquid scintillation counter (Perkin Elmer).
CALCULATION AND EVALUATION OF STIMULATION INDEX (SI):
The SI was calculated by dividing the individual DPM values (corrected for background) by the mean DPM value of the vehicle control group.
The decision process with regard to a positive response included a group mean SI of 3 or higher together with consideration of dose response and statistical analyses based on the test guideline and the recommendations done by ICCVAM. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- Body weight and DPM data of the test material groups were compared with the vehicle control group using Dunnett's multiple comparison test. Probability values of <0.05 were considered significant.
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
The SI for the concurrent positive control was 4.3 (mean DPM 5755; p<0.01) and met the criterion for a positive response. This positive response was comparable with that seen in a reliability check with the same positive control substance conducted previously under similar experimental conditions.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Since the SI of undiluted test material was >3 and the SI increased with dose, the test material should be regarded as a skin sensitiser when applied undiluted. The EC3 (Estimated Concentration needed to produce a SI of 3) was 64% v/v (calculated from y = 0.017 + 1.91 where y = concentration test material in vehicle and x = SI; R2= 0.9973).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Substance is a skin sensitiser (1B) in accordance with EU CLP (1272/2008 and its amendments)
- Conclusions:
- Koavone is sensitising to skin
- Executive summary:
In a GLP-compliant study, performed according to OECD Guideline 429 (Local Lymph Node Assay in mice), four groups of four female mice were treated by topical application to the dorsal surface of each ear lobe with 0% (vehicle control), 25%, 50% and 100% solutions of Koavone in acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v) for three consecutive days. A positive control group of four female mice was treated with hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (25% v/v in the same vehicle). Five days after the first topical application, the mice were injected intravenously (tail vein) with3H-thymidine. Five hours thereafter, the draining auricular lymph nodes were excised, pooled per animal, processed in physiologically-buffered saline, and analysed for lymphocyte proliferation by measuring the incorporation of 3H-thymidine in a scintillation counter. The stimulation index (SI) was 2.31, 2.80 and 3.60 for the 25%, 50% and 100% solution of Koavone, respectively. The SI for the positive control was 4.3 and in agreement with a previous reliability check. Based on the results of this study, Koavone is considered to give a positive result in the LLNA test. An EC3 value of 64% (v/v) was calculated based on the study results.
