MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: random
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: Results are expressed as the Stimulation Index (SI). The SI was obtained by dividing the pooled radioactive incorporation for each treatment group by the radioactive incorporation of the pooled vehicle control group; this yields a mean SI. A substance is regarded as sensitizer in the LLNA test when SI ≥ 3.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
The required amount of the test item (according to the concentration) was mixed with the appropriate vehicle shortly before the administration. The test substance was administrated in volume of 25 µL to the dorsum of each ear. The alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (25%) as positive control and vehicle as a negative control were administrated in the same volume.
Day 1: Each animal was identified and the body weight was recorded. To the dorsum of each ear 25µL of the appropriate dilution of the test substance, or positive control or the vehicle alone was applied.
Days 2 and 3: The application procedure carried out on day 1 was repeated.
Days 4 and 5: No treatment.
Day 6: The body weight of each animal were recorded. 250µL of phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) containing 2 µCi (7.4 x 104 Bq) of 125I-iododeoxyuridine and 10-5M fluorodeoxyuridine was injected into all test and control mice via the tail vein.
Five hours later, the animals were killed. The draining auricular lymph nodes from each ear were excised and pooled in PBS for each experimental group (pooled treatment group approach). - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- For calculation of mean and S.D. values of body weights and ear thickness MS Excel was used.

Lymph Node Proliferation
In comparison with the control group, an increase of the pooled lymph node weights was recorded in all tested concentrations. This increase was dose dependent. The pooled lymph node weights of treated groups were 0.0260g for 25% concentration, 0.0294g for 50% concentration and 0.0295g for 100% concentration of tested item. The lymph node weight of control group and positive control group were 0.0301g and 0.0663g, respectively. The DPM values for the three treated groups were 1097 (25%), 1345 (50%) and 1540 (100%), respectively. The SI values for the three treated groups were 1.28 (25%), 1.57 (50%) and 1.79 (100%), respectively.
EC3 CALCULATION
The EC3 value could not be calculated, as all measured points were below the stimulation index of three.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
Animals were carefully observed for any clinical symptoms, either of local irritation at the application site or systemic toxicity. The daily clinical observation of the animals did not show visible clinical signs.
BODY WEIGHTS
The animal body weights were measured prior to the first treatment and at the scheduled sacrifice. No marked changes of mean body weight were observed during the study.

Lymph Node Proliferation
In comparison with the control group, an increase of the pooled lymph node weights was recorded in all tested concentrations. This increase was dose dependent. The pooled lymph node weights of treated groups were 0.0260g for 25% concentration, 0.0294g for 50% concentration and 0.0295g for 100% concentration of tested item. The lymph node weight of control group and positive control group were 0.0301g and 0.0663g, respectively. The DPM values for the three treated groups were 1097 (25%), 1345 (50%) and 1540 (100%), respectively. The SI values for the three treated groups were 1.28 (25%), 1.57 (50%) and 1.79 (100%), respectively. The EC3 value could not be calculated, as all measured points were below the stimulation index of three. The lymph node weights, DPM and SI values are shown here:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- The study was conducted under GLP according to OECD guideline 429 on the registered substance itself. The method is to be considered scientifically reasonable with no deficiencies in documentation or any deviations, the validity criteria are fulfilled, positive and negative controls gave the appropriate response. Hence, the results can be considered as reliable to assess the sensitizing potential of sodium 3-[[(dimethylamino)thioxomethyl]thio]propanesulphonate in mice.
All animals survived throughout the test period without showing any clinical signs. In comparison with the control group, the increase in lymph node weight was observed in all treated groups. The increase of lymph node weight was dose dependent. A similar trend was registered in the evaluation of DPM of the lymph nodes. Calculated SI values in treated groups remained under the value of 3, which is the threshold to consider the substance a sensitizer. Therefore, it was not possible to calculate an EC3 value.
DPS was identified as a non-sensitizing agent in the Local Lymph Node Assay. Hence, no classification as skin sensitizer is triggered. - Executive summary:
The sensitization potential of sodium 3-[[(dimethylamino)thioxomethyl]thio]propanesulphonate, DPS was evaluated using the local lymph node assay (LLNA) according to OECD TG 429 under GLP. The LLNA has been developed to determine the contact sensitization potential of chemicals.
Based on the recommendations of the OECD Guideline, the test item was formulated in acetone:olive oil 4:1 (v/v) mixture. The positive control (alpha-Hexylcinnamaldehyde) (25%) was formulated in the same vehicle.
The Pre-screen test was performed using dose of 100 % (w/v). Based on the observations recorded in the preliminary test, the concentration of 100 % was selected as top dose for the main test.
Five female mice (CBA/Ca) were topically exposed (dorsum of both ears) to the test solution at concentrations of 100%, 50% and 25%, to the positive control and to the vehicle only. Lymphocyte proliferation was measured using incorporation of radioactive 125I-iododeoxyuridine and 10-5M fluorodeoxyuridine in the draining lymph nodes. The radioactive incorporation was expressed as disintegrations per minute (DPM)/pooled treatment group and compared with DPM values from the vehicle control group and expressed as the Stimulation Index (SI).
After application of the test item at three concentrations (25%, 50% and 100%) animals did not show visible clinical symptoms or local irritation or systemic toxicity. The SI values for treated groups were 1.28 (25%), 1.57 (50%), and 1.79 (100%). The EC3 value could not be calculated, as all measured points were below the stimulation index of three.
From the results of this study, sodium 3-[[(dimethylamino)thioxomethyl]thio]propanesulphonate, DPS, is not considered a skin sensitizer in the murine local lymph node assay.
