Description of key information

The potential of the test item, Neopentyl Glycol Dipelargonate, to cause skin sensitisation reactions following topical application to the skin of CBA/JN mice, was assessed using the LLNA:BrdUELISA method, according to the OECD Guideline for testing of chemicals No. 442b.

The calculated Stimulation Indices (SI) at the low and medium dose groups [25 % and 50 % (w/w)] were 0.99 and 1.31, respectively. A slight increase in cell proliferation of draining lymph nodes was observed in the high dose group [100 % (w/w)], with a Stimulation Index of 1.61, which is considered a borderline result. However, due to the absence of a statistical significance, the observed result is not considered sufficient to indicate a classification.

In addition a key in vivo study is available on the analogue (see the justification in section 13) trimethylol propane tripelargonate that demonstrates the tested substance does not induce and elicit delayed dermal sensitisation in the guinea pig.

Justification for type of information:
Neopentyl Glycol Dipelargonate resulted not sufficiently soluble at the required concentrations in any of the solvents of the LuSens test. Also a performance of the h-CLAT test (as an alternative test ) is not possible due to the low solubility. So a LLNA study has been performed.

Details on study design:
Preliminary test
Dosing Frequency of treatment
The animals were treated for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3) with the vehicle or test item formulations.Dosing method
A dose volume of 25 µL/ear/day of the appropriate concentration was applied to the dorsal surface of each ear (50 µL/animal/day), using a micropipette.

In vivo observations Mortality and morbidity
Throughout the study, all animals were checked twice daily.

Clinical signs
The animals were observed for clinical signs on: Day 1: before and approximately 1 hour after dosing Day 2 to 6: daily (approximately 1 hour after daily dosing, when applicable)

Body weight
The animals were weighed at allocation (Day 1) and on sacrifice (Day 6).

Scoring of dermal reaction
The treated sites of all animals were examined daily (once before first dosing, before dosing on Days 2 and 3 and daily thereafter).Irritation to the skin was assigned a numerical value according to the table below:

Erythema and eschar formation Value
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema 1
Well defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beet redness) to eschar formation preventing 4
grading of erythema

Selection of dose levels
In the main assay, the test item was used at the higher concentrations that were systemically tolerated and judged not to cause excessive local skin irritation.In particular, concentrations are considered irritant if:
– erythema grading (score) is ≥ 3 at any day of measurement and/or
– ear thickness is ≥ 25% with respect to Day 1 and
– ear punch weight is ≥ 25% with reference to the negative control group

Main assay
Treatment schedule of animals is summarised as follows:

Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Day 6 D D D — BrdU C

D : Dermal application of the test item, the positive control or vehicle at a dose volume of 25 µL/ear (50 µL/animal).
BrdU : Intraperitoneal administration of BrdU.
C : Sacrifice, processing of lymph nodes and determination of cell proliferation.

Dosing with the test or control items Frequency of treatment
The animals were treated for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, 3) with the vehicle, test or control item formulations.

Dosing method
A dose volume of 25 µL/ear/day of each selected concentration and controls was applied to the dorsal surface of each ear (50 µL/animal/day), using a micropipette.

5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) treatment
The animals were treated intraperitoneally, on Day 5 (once only), with 0.5 mL/animal of a solution of BrdU at a concentration of 10 mg/mL in physiological saline (0.9% NaCl), using a plastic graded syringe.

In vivo observations Mortality and morbidity
Throughout the study, all animals were checked twice daily.

Clinical signs
The animals were observed for clinical signs before dosing commenced and daily up to sacrifice (approximately 1 hour after dosing on Days 2, 3 and 5).

Body weight
The animals were weighed at allocation (Day 1) and on sacrifice (Day 6).

The animals were killed on Day 6, approximately 24 hours after BrdU injection, by carbon dioxide narcosis.
No necropsy was performed on the sacrificed animals. Shortly after sacrifice of each animal, the auricular lymph nodes were rapidly excised, pooled on individual basis and individually collected in a solution of 2 % BSA-PBS [2 % bovine serum albumine (BSA) in phosphate buffered saline, PBS]. Cell suspensions were prepared for the evaluation of proliferation at lymph node.

Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Statistics:
Differences between each treated group and the concurrent negative control group (individual BrdU labelling indices) were assessed by Dunnett’s test. The homogeneity of the data was verified by Bartlett’s test before Dunnett’s test. If data were found to be inhomogeneous, a Modified t test (Cochran and Cox) was applied.
Positive control results:
The Stimulation Index (SI) of the positive control group was higher than 2.0.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to the CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008:

Annex I: 3.4.2.2. Skin Sensitisers Annex I: 3.4.2.2.1. Hazard categories

Annex I: 3.4.2.2.1.1. Skin sensitisers shall be classified in Category 1 where data are not sufficient for sub-categorisation.

Annex I: 3.4.2.2.1.2. Where data are sufficient a refined evaluation according to section 3.4.2.2.1.3 allows the allocation of skin sensitisers into sub-category 1A, strong sensitisers, or sub-category 1B for other skin sensitisers.

Annex I: 3.4.2.2.1.3. Effects seen in either humans or animals will normally justify classification in a weight of evidence approach for skin sensitisers as described in section 3.4.2.2.2. Substances may be allocated to one of the two sub-categories 1A or 1B using a weight of evidence approach in accordance with the criteria given in Table 3.4.2 and on the basis of reliable and good quality evidence from human cases or epidemiological studies and/or observations from appropriate studies in experimental animals according to the guidance values provided in sections 3.4.2.2.2.1 and 3.4.2.2.3.2 for sub-category 1A and in sections 3.4.2.2.2.2 and 3.4.2.2.3.3 for sub-category 1B.
