Study Design
In the study the test item was dissolved in acetone:olive oil (4+1) was assessed for its possible contact allergenic potential.
For this purpose a local lymph node assay was performed using test item concentrations of 5, 10, and 25%. The GLP study was performed according to OECD TG 429.
Results
The animals did not show any clinical signs during the course of the study and no cases of mortality were observed.
A relevant increase in ear thickness gain could not be observed after treatment with the test item.
In this study Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 1.83, 1.69, and 1.04 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5, 10, and 25% in acetone:olive oil (4+1), respectively. Since the S.I. was not increased above 3 at any test group.
Conclusion
From the data it can be concluded that the test item is not a skin sensitiser under the conditions of this assay.

Justification for read across
Endpoint:Skin Sensitisation
Type of read across:one-to-one
Test Compound (with data):CAS: 174350-05-1
Dossier Compound (without data):CAS: 124729-02-6
The read across is based on the following similarity measures:
(1) Chemical similarity:
The test compound (CAS: 174350-05-1) provides all main chemical features present in the dossier compound (CAS: 124729-02-6). Both substances share typical structural features for liquid crystals, i.e. one phenyl ring coupled via single bond to a cyclohexyl ring.Comparing dossier and test compound yields the same substitution pattern at the phenyl ring, i.e. a Fluor substitution (dossier compound: n=2, test compound: n=2) and a para ethoxy substituent.
The cylohexyl ring of both compounds shows a para alkyl substitution of different chain length (dossier cpd.: n=5; test cpd.: n=3). Thus, the only difference in terms of chemical structure is the length of the alkyl chain connected to the core structure. Overall, this almost perfect match results in a high chemical similarity score of 1.00 (Tanimoto).
(2) Physicochemical similarity
The high chemical similarity yields almost identical physicochemical key parameters relevant for bioavailability as listed in the table below.
(3) Predictions for Skin Sensitisation using QSAR
The skin sensitisation potential of both compounds has been predicted using Derek Nexus version 2.0. EU JRC registered the QMRF with the registration number Q13-34-36-315. The detailed description is available online (http://qsardb.jrc.ec.europa.eu/qmrf/search_catalogs.jsp). Both predictions were negative supporting the assessment for this endpoint.The table below lists the similarity measures applied for this read across.

Conclusion
The Dossier Compound shows a data gap for Skin Sensitisation; however, a chemical analogue provides data for this endpoint. Both the Dossier Compound and the Test Compound show a very high chemical similarity and almost identical physicochemical parameters leading to similar bioavailability. A prediction using the Derek Nexus Knowledge Base for Skin Sensitisation with a JRC certified QMRF yields negative predictions for both compounds.
Based on these finding it is justified to use the data from the chemical analogue (Skin sensitisation in vivo: negative (GLP, OECD TG 429)) to fill the data gap for the dossier compound.
Migrated from Short description of key information:
For this endpoint information from a structural similar compound is available. This study for this similar compound was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 429. This assay was negative and the data are read across to the target chemical.
Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
This study was performed according to GLP and the methods applied are fully compliant with OECD TG 429.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to the results of the sensitisation test, a classification and labelling is not required for this substance.
