In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
mouse
Strain:
other: CBA/J
Sex:
not specified
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
No data

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)
Concentration:
10, 25, 50, 100 % test material
No. of animals per dose:
Four
Details on study design:
- Four groups of four animals were treated for three consecutive days (days 1-3) via topical application to the dorsal surface of each ear.
- Test material was applied as 50 μL (25 μL per ear) of the undiluted test item or the test item as a solution in acetone/olive oil (4:1).
- A group of four animals received the vehicle alone.
- A further group of four animals was treated with the positive control diluted at 25 % in the vehicle.
- On day 6, the proliferation of lymphocytes in the draining auricular lymph nodes was determined by cell counting.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Statistics:
- The Stimulation Index (SI) was calculated from the formula SI = cell count of treated group / cell count of control group.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
- A Stimulation Index (SI) of 2.22 was recorded for the positive control diluted at 25 % in the vehicle.
- The SI result was more than 1.4 as expected.

Any other information on results incl. tables

- The EC1.4 value determined by linear interpolation of points on the dose-response curve was 23.30 % (see document describing validation of EC value, attached).

- No mortality and no sign of systemic toxicity were noted in the test and control animals during the test.

- A moderate (+15.2%) to important (+41.6%) increase in ear thickness was recorded respectively at the concentration of 50% and 100%. An important increase in ear weight (+60.3%) was recorded at the concentration of 100%.
