- PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
To determine the highest tolerated and non-irritant test concentration a preliminary test was performed. For this purpose, two animals were treated by topical application with the test item on three consecutive days at a concentration of 50% (suspended in AOO) to the entire dorsal surface of each ear. One further animal was treated with 100% AOO and served as negative control.
From day 1 to day 4 the ear thickness of each animal was measured. During this period also all clinical signs were recorded. Cageside observations included spontaneous activity, lethargy, recumbent position, convulsions, tremors, apnoea, asphyxia, vocalisation, diarrhoea, changes in the skin and fur, eyes and mucous membranes (salivation, discharge).

MAIN STUDY
- Topical Application
Each mouse was treated by topical application of 25 μL of the selected solution to the entire dorsal surface of each ear. Topical applications were performed once daily over three consecutive days.
- Administration of 3H-methyl thymidine
Five days after the first topical application all mice were dosed with 20 μCi 3H-methyl thymidine by intravenous injection (tail vein) of 250μL of 3H-methyl thymidine, diluted to a working concentration of 80μCi/mL.
- Preparation of cell suspension
Approximately 5 hours after 3H-methyl thymidine-injection all mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The draining “auricular lymph nodes” were excised, individually pooled for each animal (2 lymph nodes per animal) and collected in phosphate buffered saline (PBS). A single cell suspension of pooled lymph node cells was prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation through polyamide gauze (200 mesh size). After washing the gauze with PBS the cell suspension was pelleted in a centrifuge. The supernatant was discarded and the pellets were resuspended with PBS. This washing procedure was repeated.
After the final wash each pellet was resuspended in approx. 1 mL 5% TCA at approx. 4 °C for approximately 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules. Each precipitate was once washed again, resuspended in 1 mL 5% TCA and 7 mL scintillation fluid was added. Then this solution was transferred into scintillation vials and stored at room temperature overnight.
- Determination of incorporated 3H-methyl thymidine
The 3H-methyl thymidine – incorporation was measured in a ß-counter and expressed as the number of disintegrations per minute (DPM). Similarly, background 3H-methyl thymidine levels were also measured (5% TCA). Determination of radioactivity was performed individually for each animal.

EC3 CALCULATION
The EC3 value (derived by linear interpolation) could not be calculated as the stimulation indices of all concentrations were below 3.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
All animals survived throughout the test period without showing any clinical signs.
BODY WEIGHTS
All animals showed the expected weight development, which includes a weight loss of up to 2 g throughout the study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Diniobium pentaoxide is not sensitizing under the conditions of this LLNA study (OECD 429).
- Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study conducted according to OECD 429 with Diniobium pentaoxide (> 98.5 % purity) suspended in AOO (3 +1 v/v acetone/olive oil), young adult female CBA/OlaHsd mice (5 per dose group) were tested at concentrations of 12.5% (w/v), 25 % (w/v) and 50 % (w/v) in a local lymph node assay (LLNA). Due to animal welfare reasons a periodically performed positive control (Phenylenediamine in AOO (3 +1 v/v) was used. There was no mortality nor clinical observations nor effects on body weights observed. None of the tested concentrations of the test substance reached the stimulation index threshold of 3. Therefore no EC3 value could be determined. In this study, Diniobium pentaoxide is not a dermal sensitizer.
