In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:
mouse
Strain:
CBA
Sex:
female
Details on test animals and environmental conditions:
nulliparous and non-pregnant, young adult animals (+/-10 weeks old; body weight variation +/- 20% of the sex mean)

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
propylene glycol
Concentration:
5%, 25% and 50%
No. of animals per dose:
5
Details on study design:
A preliminary irritation study was conducted in order to select the highest test substance concnetration to be used in the amin study. Starting- and subsequent concentrations for this preliminary study were taken from the series: 100% (undiluted), 50%, 25%, 10%, 5%, 2.5%, 1% and further lower cocnetrations using the same steps.
In the main study, the observation was as follows:
1. mortality/viability: twice daily
2. toxicity: at least once daily
3. body weights: on day 1 (pre-treatment) and 6
4. irritation: on day 3 (3-4 hours after treatment), the skin reactions were assessed
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The calculated EC3 value was found to be in the acceptable range of 2 and 20%.

In vivo (LLNA)

Resultsopen allclose all
Parameter:
SI
Remarks on result:
other: Main study: The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations 4, 25 and 50% were 1.0, 0.7 and 0.9 respectively. There was no indication that the test substance could elicit an SI>=3.
Parameter:
other: disintegrations per minute (DPM)
Remarks on result:
other: Main study: Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with test substance concentrations 5, 25 and 50% were 180, 114 and 160 respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle conctrol group was 173.

Any other information on results incl. tables

1. preliminary study: no irritation was observed in any of the animals examined. based on the results, the highest test substance concentration for the main study was a 50% concentration.

2. main study:

2.1. induction phase: no irritation was observed in any of the animals examined

2.2. macroscopy: the majority of nodes were equal in size, except for some nodes of the 25 and 50% groups that were smaller in size. no other macroscopic abnormalities of the nodes were noted.

2.3. body weights: body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period. The slight body weight loss, noted in some animals, was considered not toxicologically significant.

2.4. toxicity/mortality: no mortality occurred and no symptoms of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals of the main study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
not classified for sensitisation by skin contact (according to OECD (1998) and EU (67/548/EEC))
no obligatory labelling requirement for sensitisation by skin contact (EU (67/548/EEC))
