Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
other: aqueous 1% Pluronic PE9200
Concentration:
- three groups received the Magnesium acrylate solution at 99%, 50% or 25%
- the negative control group received the vehicle (aqueous 1% Pluronic PE9200) only,
- the positive control received 25% alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA),
- the negative control group for the positive control group received aceton: olive oil 4:1 (v/v)
No. of animals per dose:
four
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: some precipitation on the skin of the ear
- Irritation: no
- Lymph node proliferation response: no

On the basis of a pilot study a formulation of the test item with 1% Pluronic PE9200 was chosen so t
hat the test item was sufficiently applicable on the ears of the animals.

Each concentration was applied on the external surface of each ear (25 μl/ear) of the animals for three co
nsecutive days (day1, 2, 3).
There was no treatment on days 4, 5 and 6. On day 6, the cell proliferation in the local lymph nodes
was measured by determing incorporation of tritiated methyl thymidine and the obtained values were
used to calculate stimulation indices.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Larger lymph nodes and a higher stimulation index than the control were observed in the positive control group.

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of the present Local Lymph Node Assay the magnesium acrylate solution of 46.41% content tested at the maximum attainable concentration of 99% and at concentrations of 50% and 25% as homogenous formulations in aqueous 1% Pluronic, was shown to have no
sensitization potential (non-sensitizer).
Executive summary:

A formulation of 46.41 % Magnesium acrylate in water was supplied by the sponsor for testing the sensitization potential. On the basis of a pilot study a formulation of the test item with 1% Pluronic PE9200 (w/v) was chosen so that the test item was sufficiently applicable on the ears of the animals. In the main assay 24 female CBA/Ca mice were allocated to six groups of four animals each:

- three groups received the Magnesium acrylate solution at 99%, 50% or 25% (v/v),

- the negative control group received the vehicle (aqueous 1% Pluronic PE9200) only,

- the positive control received 25% alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA),

- the negative control group for the positive control group received aceton: olive oil, 4:1 (v/v).

Each substance was applied on the external surface of each ear (25 µl/ear) of the animals for three consecutive days (day1, 2, 3). There was no treatment on days 4, 5 and 6. On day 6, the cell proliferation in the local lymph nodes was measured by determing incorporation of tritiated methyl thymidine and the obtained values were used to calculate stimulation indices:

negative control: 1.0,

positive control: 14.2,

99% test item: 0.7,

50% test item: 0.3,

25% test item: 0.9,

negative control: 1.0.

No significant loss of body weight was observed in any treatment group.

No mortality, no obvious signs of systemic toxicity or irritation were observed in any treatment groups.

Loss of hair was observed in the 99% dose group from day 1 to day 5.

Under the conditions of the present Local Lymph Node Assay the magnesium acrylate solution of 46.41% content tested at the maximum attainable concentration of 99% and at concentrations of 50% and 25% as homogenous formulations in aqueous 1% Pluronic PE9200, was shown to have no sensitization potential.

Thus magnesium acrylate is a non-sensitizer.
