PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
In a non-GLP conform solubility pre-test, the test item was tested in different vehicles: ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v) and acetone:olive oil, 4: 1 (v/v). A suitable vehicle (ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v)) was selected and used in the main test.
In a non-GLP conform pre-test in two mice, the test item was tested at four different concentrations: 1 %,2.5 %,5 % and 10 % (w/v) , on one ear each.
24 hours after a single topical application, the pre-test results determined that 10 % (w/v) was the highest technically applicable concentration in the chosen vehicle.

TREATMENT PROCEDURES
TOPICAL APPLICATION
Each test group of mice was treated by topical (epidermal) application to the dorsal surface of each ear lobe (left and right) with different test item concentrations of 2.5 %, 5 % and 10 % (w/v) in ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v). The application volume, 25 µI, was spread over the entire dorsal surface (Ø ̴ 8 mm) of each ear lobe once daily for three consecutive days. A further group of mice was treated with an equivalent volume of the relevant vehicle alone (control animals). A hair dryer was passed briefly over the ear's surface to prevent the loss of any of the test item applied.

ADMINISTRATION OF 3H-METHYL THYMIDINE*
3H-methyl thymidine (3HTdR) was purchased from Amersham International (Amersham product code no. TRA 310; specific activity, 2 Ci/mmol; concentration, 1 mCi/ml).Five days after the first topical application, all mice were administered with 250 µI of 83.0 µCi/ml 3HTdR (equal to 20.8 µCi 3HTdR) by intravenous injection via a tail vein.

DETERMINATION OF INCORPORATED 3HTDR*
Approximately five hours after treatment with 3HTdR all mice were euthanized by inhalation of CO2 (dry ice).
The draining Iymph nodes were rapidly excised and pooled for each experimental group (8 nodes per group). Single cell suspensions (phosphate buffered saline) of pooled Iymph node cells were prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregation through stainless steel gauze (200 µm mesh size). After washing two times with phosphate buffered saline (approx. 10 ml) the Iymph node cells were resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid (approx. 3 ml) and incubated at approximately +4 °C for at least 18 hours for precipitation of macromolecules.
The precipitates were then resuspended in 5 % trichloroacetic acid (1 ml) and transferred to glass scintillation vials with 10 ml of 'Ultima Gold' scintillation liquid and thoroughly mixed .
The level of 3HTdR incorporation was then measured on a ß-scintillation counter. Similarly,background 3HTdR levels were also measured in two 1 ml-aliquots of 5 % trichloroacetic acid.
The ß-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:
The mean values and standard deviations were calculated in the body wejght tables.

CONCLUSION
In this study STIMULATION INDICES of 1.5, 2.3 and 8.4 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5 %, 10 % and 25 % (w/v) , respectively, in acetone:olive oil, 4: 1 (v/v).
A test item is regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if the exposure to one or more test concentrations resulted in 3-fold or greater increase in incorporation of 3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.).
The test item ALPHA-HEXYLCINNAMALDEHYDE was found to be a skin sensitizer and an EC3 value of 11.7 % (w/v) was derived.

Positive Control Study

SUMMARY

In order to study a possible contact allergenic potential of ALPHAHEXYLCINNAMALDEHYDE, three groups each of four female mice were treated daily with the test item at concentrations of 5 %, 10 % and 25 % (w/v) in acetone:olive oil, 4: 1 (v/v) by topical application to the dorsum of each ear lobe (Ieft and right) for three consecutive days.

A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle (acetone:olive oil, 4:1 (v/v)) only.

Five days after the first topical application the mice were injected intravenously into a tail vein with radio-Iabelled thymidine (3H-methyl thymidine). Approximately five hours after intravenous injection, the mice were sacrificed, the draining auricular Iymph nodes excised and pooled per group. Single cell suspensions of Iymph node cells were prepared from pooled Iymph nodes which were subsequently washed and incubated with trichloroacetic acid overnight. The proliferative capacity of pooled Iymph node cells was determined by the incorporation of 3H-methyl thymidine measured in a ß-scintillation counter.

No clinical signs were observed in any animals of the control group, Group 2 (5 %) or Group 3 (10 %). Approximately 90 minutes after the first topical applacation, a slight ear erythema was observed at both dosing sites in all mice of Group 4 (25 %).

All treated animals survived the scheduled study period.

The results obtained (STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.)) are reported in the following table. The estimated concentration of test item required to produce a S.I. of 3 is referred to as the EC3 value.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
other: Not Sensitising
Remarks:
based on CLP criteria
Conclusions:
In this study STIMULATION INDICES of 1.2, 1.5 and 1.5 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 2.5 %, 5 % and 10% (w/v) , respectively, in ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v).
A test item is regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if the exposure to one or more test concentrations resulted in 3-fold or greater increase in incorporation of 3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.).
The test item C 010 (3-[(4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)azo]-N,N,N-trimethylanilinium chloride) was found to be a non-sensitizer when tested at up to the highest applicable concentration of 10% (wlv) in ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v).
Executive summary:

In order to study a possible contact allergenic potential of C 010 (3-[(4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)azo]- N,N,N-trimethyl anilinium chloride), three groups each of four female mice were treated daily with the test item at concentrations of 2.5 %, 5 % and 10% (w/v) in ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v) by topical application to the dorsum of each ear lobe (Ieft and right) for three consecutive days. 10% was the highest technically applicable concentration in the vehicle. A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle (ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v)) only. Five days after the first topical application the mice were injected intravenously into a tail vein with radio-Iabelled thymidine (3H-methyl thymidine). Approximately five hours after intravenous injection, the mice were sacrificed, the draining auricular Iymph nodes excised and pooled per group. Single cell suspensions of Iymph node cells were prepared from pooled Iymph nodes which were subsequently washed and incubated with trichloroacetic acid overnight. The proliferative capacity of pooled Iymph node cells was determined by the incorporation of 3H-methyl thymidine measured in a ß-scintillation counter.

To avoid loss of the test item applied to the outer ear surface the test item was carefully dosed. To avoid missing of the test item from the ears a hair dryer was used to immediately dry the wet ears.

All treated animals survived the scheduled study period.

No clinical signs were observed.

The results obtained (STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.)) are reported in the following table.

Calculation of the EC 3 value was not done because no test concentrations produced a STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.) of 3 or higher.

 

In this study STIMULATION INDICES of 1.2, 1.5 and 1.5 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 2.5 %, 5 % and 10% (wlv) , respectively, in ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v).

Thus, the test item C 010 (3-[(4,5-dihydro-3-methyl-5-oxo-1-phenyl-1H-pyrazol-4-yl)azo]-N,N,N-trimethylanilinium chloride) was found to be a non-sensitizer when tested at up to the highest applicable concentration of 10% (wlv) in ethanol:water, 7:3 (v/v).
