IN-LIFE DATES:
From April 08, 2008, to April 23, 2008
Study design: in vivo (LLNA)
- Vehicle:
- propylene glycol
- Concentration:
- The test item in the main study was assayed at 0, 25, 50 and 100% of the original liquid substance (0, 7.03, 14.05 or 28.1% dry mass)
- No. of animals per dose:
- 4 females in the main study
- Details on study design:
- RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: After a solubility experiment, the highest concentration which could be technically used was a 50% (14.05% dry mass) suspension in propylene glycol. Upon sponsors consent propylene glycol was used as a vehicle.
- Irritation: A pre-test was performed in two mice with concentrations of 10, 25, 50 and 100% of the original liquid substance (2.81, 7.03, 14.05, or 28.1% dry mass, respectively) on one ear each on three consecutive days (clinical signs scored 24 h after each application). After the second application and onwards the highest dose (100%) induced redness of the ear skin. All other concentrations did not induce any signs of irritation or systemic toxicity
MAIN STUDY
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
First, that exposure to at least one concentration of the test item resulted in an incorporation of 3HTdR at least 3-fold or greater than recorded in control mice, as indicated by the stimulation index. Second, that the data are compatible with a conventional dose response, although allowance must be made for either local or toxicological response.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Each test group of mice (n=4 per group) was treated by topical (epidermal) application to the dorsal surface of each ear lobe (left and right) with different test item concentartions. The application volume (25 µL) was spread over the entire dorsal surface of each ear lobe once daily for three consecutive days. Control animals were treated with the vehicle only.
Five days after the first topical application, all mice were administered with 250 µL of 81.6 µCi/mL 3HTdR (3H-methyl thymidine) by intravenous injection via tail vein. Approximately five hours after treatment with 3HTdR all mice were necropsied and the draining lymph nodes were excised and pooled per group (8 nodes per group). The level of 3HTdR incorporation was than measured on a beta-scintillation counter. The beta-scintillation counter expresses 3HTdR incorporation as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute (DPM). - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- Mean values and standard deviations were calculated in body weight tables
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- A GLP study with a positive control substance (alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde) was performed with test item concentrations (w/v) of 5, 10 and 25% in an acetone:olive (4:1) vehicle in February 2008 and included as reference into this study. The outcome of the study demonstrated the sensitivity and validity of the test system.

b) = Since the lymph nodes were pooled, DPM/node was determined by dividing the measured value by the number of lymph nodes pooled
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- None of the tested concentrations induced an S.I. greater than 3. Therefore, an EC3 value could not be calculated. Thus the test item Biofert Plusz was found not to be a skin sensitiser under the described conditions.
