RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: Not reported
- Irritation: Not reported
- Lymph node proliferation response: Not reported

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local lymph node assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: Stimulation Index >3

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Topical (epidermal) application to dorsal surface of each ear lobe. A volume of 25 uL was spread over the entire dorsal surface (0-8mm) once daily for 3 consecutive days.

Five days after the first topical application, all mice were administered with 250uL of 83.1uCi/mL 3H methyl thymidine by intravenous injection into the tail vein. Five hours later animals were killed and draining lymph nodes excised and pooled for each experimental group i.e. 8 per group apart from group 3 (10%) where only 7 nodes were extracted.

Statistics:

Mean value and standard deviations for bodyweights only.

Executive summary:

Four groups each of four female mice were treated daily with the test item at a concentration of 5, 10, 25 or 50% (w/v) in acetone : olive oil 4:1 (w/v) by topical application to the dorsal surface of each ear lobe for three consecutive days. A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle. Five days after the first topical application, the mice were injected intravenously with radio-labelled thymidine. Approximately five hours after intravenous injection, the mice were sacrificed and the draining auricular lymph nodes excised and pooled per group. Single cell suspensions of lymph node cells were prepared from pooled lymph nodes which were subsequently washed and incubated with trichloroacetic acid overnight. The proliferative capacity of pooled lymph node cells was determined by incorporation of 3H methyl thymidine measured in a beta scintillation counter.

Disintegrations per minute were determined per lymph node sample and Stimulation Indices (SI) relative to control group were calculated as follows:

5% SI= 2.4

10% SI = 2.7

25% SI = 1.6

50% SI= 2.2

Calculation of the EC3 value was not possible as a SI of 3 or higher was not reached in the study.

Decan-1,2-diol at concentrations up to 50% was found not to be a skin sensitiser.
