Details on study design:
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Animals were anesthetized by inhalation of isoflurane. The test material was applied to the back of the ears at a volume of 25µL per ear of the respective preparation. Administration was perform once a day for three consecutive days. The control animals were treated accordingly using the vehicle only.

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
Conclusions:
The test item showed no indication of a skinn sensitizing potential in the local lymph node assay in mice.
Executive summary:

After treatment of four groups of female CBA/J mice with the test item in acetone/olive oil (4/1) topically on the back of the ears on three consecutive days no proliferation of the draining lymph nodes was recorded as shown by a lack of increased incorporation of 3H-Thymidine in lymph node cells. The volume applied was 25 µL and the concentrations were 10 , 25, and 50 %. The stimulation index varied between 0,72 and 0,49.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

After treatment of four groups of female CBA/J mice with the test item in acetone/olive oil (4/1) topically on the back of the ears on three consecutive days no proliferation of the draining lymph nodes was recorded as shown by a lack of increased incorporation of 3H-Thymidine in lymph node cells. The volume applied was 25 µL and the concentrations were 10 , 25, and 50 %.The stimulation index varied between 0,72 and 0,49. The limit for positive effects was not reached. The test item was judged as non sensitising.

This conclusion was also confirmed by a Maximisation test on an structurally similar analoguous substance.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
recent guideline study under GLP, target substance tested,

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification; Based on the negative result of the LLNA test no skin senstisation potential is expected.
