Main study: 0, 5, 10 and 25% (w/w) - No. of animals per dose:
- 5
- Details on study design:
- PRE-SCREEN (RANGE-FINDING) TESTS:
- Compound solubility: In a preliminary solubility assessment, propylene glycol was selected as it is recommended by the OECD guideline and provided suitable solutions of the test item both for administration and adherence to the mouse ear of such high concentrations. Doses were selected based on the recommendations in the OECD guideline, adjusted to the physical appearance of the test item as solid, with 75, 50, 25 and 10% (w/w). A 25% concentration was the highest concentration of dirhodium trioxide in propylene glycol to obtain an applicable solution.
- Test item adminstration: The test item formulations were administered to the dorsum of both ears of each animal at an application volume of 25 µL/ear.
- Systemic toxicity and Irritation: All mice were observed daily for any clinical signs of systemic toxicity or local irritation at the application site. Body weights were recorded pre-test and prior to termination (Day 6). Both ears of each mouse were observed for erythema and scored on a 0-4 scale (0: no erythema; 1: very slight erythema (barely perceptible); 2: well-defined erythema; 3: moderate to severe erythema; 4: severe erythema (beet redness) to eschar formation preventing grading of erythema).
The following clinical observation would indicate systemic toxicity: changes in nervous system function (e.g. pilo-erection, ataxia, tremors, and convulsions); changes in behaviour (e.g. aggressiveness, change in grooming activity, marked change in activity level); changes in respiratory patterns (i.e. changes in frequency and intensity of breathing such as dyspnoea, gasping, and rales), and changes in food and water consumption. In addition, signs of lethargy and/or unresponsiveness and any clinical signs of more than slight or momentary pain and distress, or a >5% reduction in body weight from Day 1 to Day 6 and mortality would be considered in the evaluation. Moribund animals or animals showing signs of severe pain and distress would have been humanely killed.
- Ear thickness measurements: Ear thickness measurements were taken using a thickness gauge on Day 1 (pre-dose), Day 3 (approximately 48 hours after the first dose), and Day 6. Additionally, on Day 6, ear thickness was determined by ear punch weight determinations, which was performed after the animals were humanely killed. Excessive local irritation is indicated by an erythema score ≥3 and/or ear thickness increase of ≥25% on any day of measurement. The highest dose selected for the main LLNA: BrdU-ELISA study was the next lower dose in the pre-screen concentration series that doses not induce systemic toxicity and/or excessive local skin irritation.
MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local lymph node assay BrdU-ELISA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: Results of each treatment group are expressed as the mean SI. The SI is derived by dividing the mean BrdU luminescence/mouse within each test item group and the positive control group by the mean BrdU luminescence labelling index for the solvent/vehicle control group. The average SI for the vehicle control is then one.
SI = (Mean test item or positive control group)/(Mean negative control group)
The decision process regards a result as positive when SI ≥ 1.6. However, the strength of the dose-response relationship, the statistical significance and the consistency of the vehicle and positive control responses would also be used when determining whether a borderline result (i.e. SI value between 1.6 and 1.9) is declared positive.
For a borderline positive response between an SI of 1.6 and 1.9, it may be necessary to consider additional information such as dose-response relationship, evidence of systemic toxicity or excessive irritation, and where appropriate, statistical significance together with SI values to confirm that such results are positives. Consideration would be also given to various properties of the test item, including whether it has a structural relationship to known skin sensitizers, whether it causes excessive skin irritation in the mouse, and the nature of the dose-response observation.
In addition, the average ear weights per group and the average ear thickness per group were compared to the vehicle control group as an indication for possible irritating properties.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: g
•Day 1: The weight of each animal was identified and recorded. Ear thickness of left and right ear of each animal was recorded. Any clinical observation was recorded. 25 µL of the appropriate dilution of the test item, the negative control, the positive control or the vehicle of the positive control were applied to the dorsum of each ear.
•Days 2 and 3: The application procedure carried out on day 1 was repeated.
•Day 4: No treatment.
•Day 5: 0.5 mL (5 mg/mouse) of BrdU (10 mg/mL) solution was injected inter-peritoneally.
•Day 6: The weight of each animal and any clinical observation were recorded. Approximately 24 hours after BrdU injection the animals were humanely killed. The draining auricular lymph nodes from each mouse ear were excised and processed separately in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) for each animal. To further monitor the local skin response in the study, additional parameters such as scoring of ear erythema and ear thickness measurements (obtained by using a thickness gauge and ear punch weight determinations at necropsy) were carried out. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- eugenol (CAS No 97-53-0)
- Statistics:
- As no concentration-related increased values were observed, no statistical evaluation was carried out.
Comparison to negative control was carried out using Student's t-test. - Positive control results:
- Two positive control groups (treated with 25% solutions (v/v) of either α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde or Eugenol in acetone / olive oil (4 : 1 v/v)) and one group with the vehicle of the positive controls were employed. Treatment with the positive control items α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde or Eugenol caused the expected increases in the BrdU labelling index and increased ear weight, compared to the negative controls, which reflects a positive sensitisation response. The Stimulation Index of both positive controls was greater than the threshold value of 1.6 over the positive control vehicle group and therefore, the study can be regarded as valid.

- Executive summary:
The skin sensitising potential of dirhodium trioxide has been assessed in a GLP mouse local lymph node assay (LLNA): BrdU-ELISA, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 442B. Following a preliminary range-finding study to assess irritancy, female mice CBA/JN mice (5/group) were treated topically with 0, 5, 10 and 25% test item (in propylene glycol) on three consecutive days. There was no treatment on test days 4, 5 and 6. On day 6, cell proliferation in the local lymph nodes was measured by incorporation of injected 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) using ELISA. The cell proliferation in the local lymph nodes was determined by measuring the BrdU content with BrdU-ELISA and the values obtained were used to calculate Stimulation Indices (SI).
The stimulation indices of the test item treated groups calculated for the BrdU labelling index did not exceed the threshold value of 1.6. Hence, there was no clear evidence of cell proliferation and the test item is classified as not skin sensitising.
There were no deaths and no systemic clinical signs or effects on body weights were observed during the study. The ear weight (punch biopsies) and the difference of ear thickness on test day 3 and test day 6 compared to the vehicle control were not or only slightly increased, i.e. no skin irritating properties were noted.
Treatment with the positive control items α-hexyl cinnamic aldehyde or Eugenol caused the expected increases in the BrdU labelling index. Therefore, the study can be regarded as valid.
In conclusion, under the present test conditions, the test item dirhodium trioxide did not reveal any skin sensitising properties in the local lymph node assay:BrdU-ELISA.
Reference
