Species:
mouse
Strain:
CBA
Sex:
female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
The animals were sourced from Harlan Sprague-Dawley; Indianapolis, IN. and acclimated for 5 days. The mice were identified by tail marking/ and age cards. The weight range on the first day of dosing was 17.8 - 22.6 g. the female animals were maintained in polycarbonate boxes with bedding, 1-5 per cage. The animal room was set to maintain relative humidity of 30-70% with 10-12 air changes/hour and a temperature 21 ± 3°C. A 12-hour light/dark cycle was maintained. PMJ Feeds Jnc.TM Formulab #5008 was made available ad libitum, Sugar Land, Texas municipal water supply analyzed by TCEQ Water Utilities Division, was available ad libitum from automatic water system.

Details on study design:
Five females were selected for each of three Test groups (Groups I - III). On Days 1, 2 and 3, each Test animal in its group received an open application of 25 uL of an appropriate dilution (25% or 50%) of the test substance, or 100% test substance undiluted, to the dorsum of both ears. The Vehicle Control group (5 females) was treated in the same way as test animals, but with vehicle alone (acetone:olive oil 3:1) instead of test substance.The Positive Control group (5 females) was treated with 80% aipha-hexylcinnamaldehyde in acetone:olive oil. All Test and Control animals were given a two-day rest period on Days 4 and 5. On Day 6 of the study, all Test and Control animals were injected in the tail vein with 250 uL of 0.01 M phosphate-buffered saline (PBS; Sigma, Lot 0451(8210, Exp Jul 2015), pH 7.4, containing 20 p.Ci of [methyl, 11, 2’-3H] Thymidine (PerkinsElmer, Lot 201103, Exp Mar 2012). Five hours after the injection, the aninials were sacrificed with an overdose of C02, the draining auricular lymph nodes were excised and pairs from each individual animal were processed.

A single cell suspension was prepared by gentle mechanical disintegration through 200 mesh stainless steel gauze. The cells were washed twice with an excess of PBS and precipitated with 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at 4°C for 18 hours. The pellets were resuspended in 1 mL of TCA and transferred to 10 mL of scintillation fluid. Incorporation of tritiated thymidine was measured by liquid scintillation counting as disintegrations per minute (DPM) from the paired lymph nodes of each animal, and mean DPM/aninial was calculated for each group.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: Test guidelines and published liturature.
Conclusions:
The test substance is capable of the induction of a sensitization state under the conditions of the study. The Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL) in the study was 25% of the test substance with a Stimulation Index of 10.1. Based on ECHA guidance (Chapter R.8. page 127) the test substance is considered to be a Moderate sensitizer. Based on the formula provided by ECHA (Chapter R8. page 128) and applying a 3-fold Assessment Factor (LOAEL to NOAEL) the DNEL dermal = approximately 21 ug/cm2.
Executive summary:

The test substance, 4,4'-Isopropylidenedicyclohexanol, oligomeric reaction products with 1-chloro-2,3-epoxypropane, was evaluated for its potential to induce a sensitzation state in an O.E.C.D. test guideline 429 mouse LLNA study. The test substance is capable of the induction of a sensitization state under the conditions of the study. The Lowest Observed Adverse Effect Level (LOAEL) in the study was 25% of the test substance with a Stimulation Index of 10.1. Based on ECHA guidance (Chapter R.8. page 127) the test substance is considered to be a Moderate sensitizer.
