Concentration:

10%, 25%, 50%

No. of animals per dose:

Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: The highest test item concentration, which can be technically used was a 50 % solution in ethanol:deionised water (30:70).
With other vehicles used, equivalent concentrations could not be achieved.
- Irritation: performed on two female mice, by topical application of concentrations of 5, 10, 25, and 50 % on one ear each on three consecutive days.
The animals did not show any signs of irritation or systemic toxicity.


MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA)
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The sensitivity and reliability of the experimental technique employed was assessed by use of a
substance which is known to have skin sensitisation properties in CBA/CaOlaHsd mice (¿-Hexylcinnamaldehyde in acetone:olive oil, 4:1 )


TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
25 µl was spread to the entire dorsal surface of each ear of each mouse once daily for three consecutive days. On day 6 an injection of 250 µl phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 78.9 µCi of 3H-methyl thymidine (3H-TdR) was made into the tail vein of each experimental mouse. Five hours
later, the draining Auricular lymph node of each ear was excised into PBS. A single cell suspension of lymph node cells was prepared from each
mouse. After washing two times with phosphate buffered saline the lymph node cells were resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid and incubated at approximately +4 °C for at least 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules. The precipitates were then resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid
and transferred to plastic scintillation vials. The level of 3HTdR incorporation was then measured on a ¿-scintillation counter.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Remarks:

Stimulation Indices (S.I.) of 0.46, 0.48, and 0.56 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 10, 25, 50 % in ethanol:deionised water (30+70), respectively. The EC3 value could not be calculated, since none of the tested concentrations induced an S.I. greater than 3.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Conclusions:

The test item Sodium 2-hydroxyethanesulphonate was found to be not a skin sensitiser under the described conditions.

Executive summary:

The sensitization potential was investigated according to OECD Guideline 429.

The test item concentrations choosen for the LLNA test were 10, 25, 50 %.

No deaths occurred during the study period. No symptoms of local toxicity at the ears of the animals and no systemic findings were observed during the study period. The body weight of the animals was within the range commonly recorded for animals of this strain and age.
