MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: The randomisation was checked by computer software using the body weight to verify the homogeneity and variability between the groups
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The test item is regarded as a sensitizer if both of the following criteria are fulfilled:
1- 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.
2- The data are compatible with a conventional dose response, although allowance must be made (especially at high topical concentrations) for either local toxicity or immunological suppression.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Topical application: 25 µl of the test item or formulation
Test concentrations: 100% (undiluted), 50%, 25% w/v in acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)
Each animal was dosed once a day for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2 and 3). There was no treatment on Days 4, 5 and 6.
PROLIFERATION ASSAY
On Day 6, each mouse was intravenously injected via the tail vein with 250 μL of sterile PBS (phosphate buffered saline) containing approximately 20 μCi of 3HTdR. Once injected, the mice were left for 5 hours (± 30 minutes).
Five hours (± 30 minutes) after intravenous injection the mice were euthanized by asphyxiation with ascending doses of carbon dioxide. The draining auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled per test group, collected in separate Petri dishes and kept wet in a small amount of PBS before processing.
A single cell suspension (SCS) of pooled lymph node cells (LNCs) was prepared and collected in disposable tubes by gentle mechanical disaggregating of the lymph nodes through a cell strainer using the plunger of a disposable syringe. Following PBS washes te pooled lymph nodes were pelleted by centrifugation, resuspended in PBS, washed again.
Determination of Incorporated 3HTdR:
After the final washing step, supernatants were removed. Pellets were gently agitated resuspended and 3 mL of 5 % (w/v) TCA solution was added to the tubes for precipitation of macromolecules.
After overnight (approximately 18 hours) incubation at 2-8 °C, precipitates were centrifuged (approximately 190 x g for 10 minutes at 4oC), and supernatants were removed. Pellets were resuspended in 1 mL of 5 % (w/v) TCA solution and dispersed by using an ultrasonic bath. Samples were transferred into a suitable sized scintillation vial filled with 10 mL of scintillation liquid and thoroughly mixed. The vials were loaded into a β-scintillation counter and 3HTdR incorporation was measured (10-minute measurement).
Background level was also measured in duplicates by adding 1 mL of 5 % (w/v) TCA solution into a scintillation vial filled with 10 mL of scintillation liquid. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The result of the positive control substance α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA) dissolved at a concentration of 25 % in the in the same vehicle (AOO) was used to demonstrate the appropriate performance of the assay.
No mortality, cutaneous reactions or signs of toxicity were observed for the positive control substance in the study. A lymphoproliferative response in line with historical positive control data (stimulation index value of 8.5) was noted for HCA in the main experiment.

DETAILS ON STIMULATION INDEX CALCULATION
DPM was measured for each pooled group of nodes. The measured DPM values were corrected with the background DPM value (“DPM”). The average of the two measured DPM values of 5 % (w/v) TCA solutions was used as background DPM value. The results were expressed as “DPN” (DPM divided by the number of lymph nodes) following the industry standard for data presentation.
Stimulation index was calculated for each treatment group: SI = DPN value of a treated group divided by the DPN value of the negative control group.
EC3 CALCULATION
EC3 = c + [(3-d)/(b-d)] x (a-c)
In this equation, the data points lying immediately above and below the SI value of 3 on the dose-response plot have the coordinates (a,b) and (c,d), respectively.
The calculated EC3 value of 1,4-Diiodoperfluorobutane is 60.9 % (w/v).
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
No mortality or signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study. No amount of test item precipitation was observed on the ears of the animals.
BODY WEIGHTS
In the main study, no marked body weight losses (≥5%) was observed on the mean body weight changes in any groups; however, the body weight loss was ≥5% for 1/4 animals in the 50 % (w/v) and the Positive Control group. These changes were considered incidental.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1B (indication of skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of the present assay, 1,4-Diiodoperfluorobutane, tested in a suitable vehicle, was shown to have a sensitisation potential (sensitizer) in the Local Lymph Node Assay. The EC3 value of 1,4-Diiodoperfluorobutane was calculated as 60.9 % (w/v).
- Executive summary:
The skin sensitisation potential of 1,4-Diiodoperfluorobutane following dermal exposure in CBA/CaOlaHsd mice was assessed in the Local Lymph Node Assay. The study was performed according to OECD Guideline No.: 429, and in compliance with Good Laboratory Practices.
Based on the results of the Preliminary Compatibility Test, the best vehicle for the test item was Acetone:Olive Oil 4:1 (v:v) mixture (AOO) and the 100 % (w/v) formulation was chosen as the highest concentration suitable for the test.
Following the Preliminary Irritation/Toxicity Test using two doses and 2 animals/dose, 100 % (w/v) in AOO was selected as top dose for the main test.
In the main assay, twenty female mice were allocated to five groups (4 mice/group):
- three groups received 1,4-Diiodoperfluorobutane (formulated in AOO) at 100, 50, and 25 % (w/v) concentrations respectively,
- the negative control group received the vehicle (AOO) only,
- the positive control group received 25 % (w/v)α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA) (dissolved in AOO).
The test item solutions were applied on the dorsal surface of ears of experimental animals (25 μL/ear) for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2 and 3). There was no treatment on Days 4, 5 and 6. The cell proliferation in the local lymph nodes was assessed by measuring disintegrations per minutes after incorporation of tritiated methyl thymidine (3HTdR) and the values obtained were used to calculate stimulation indices (SI) in comparison with the control group.
No mortality or signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study. No marked bodyweight losses was observed on the mean body weight changes inany groups; however,the body weight loss was ≥5% for 1/4 animals in the50 % (w/v) and the Positive Control group.
The stimulation index (SI) values were 5.5, 2.3 and 1.1 at concentrations of 100, 50 and 25 % (w/v), respectively.
The result of the positive control substance HCA was used to demonstrate the appropriate performance of the assay. A lymphoproliferative response in line with historical positive control data was noted for the positive control chemical, this result confirmed the validity of the assay.
In conclusion, under the conditions of the present assay, 1,4-Diiodoperfluorobutane, tested in a suitable vehicle, was shown to have a sensitisation potential in the Local Lymph Node Assay. The extrapolated EC3 value of 1,4-Diiodoperfluorobutane is 60.9 % (w/v).
The substance is classified as skin sensitizer Category 1 (sub-category 1B) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP) / GHS (rev. 6) 2015.
