Sodium 2-amino-4,6-dinitrophenoxide

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

The dermal sensitization potential of the test chemical was assessed in mice according to LLNA method. The study was conducted as per OECD Guidelines 429.

The Stimulations Indices[SI] were 1.2, 2.7, 3.6, 7.9 and 11.4 for the concentrations 1%,5%,10%,25%, 50% respectively.

The calculated EC3 value for the test chemical was 6.7% w/v and 12.96% for the positive control, α- hexylcinnamaldehyde.

Based on the above findings the test chemical can be considered to be sensitizing to skin.

Details on study design:

Sodium picramate (1%,
5%, 10%, 25%, or 50% test chemical in DMSO) was applied to both ears of the mice (n ¼ 4) for 3 consecutive days. The control group was administered the vehicle only. Two days after the last application,
the mice were injected with radiolabeled thymidine (methyl-3H-thymidine). The mice were killed approximately 5 hours after the injection, and the draining auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled per group. The concentration of the radiolabel was measured.

EC3 is the estimated concentration of a chemical necessary to cause a 3-fold increase in lymph node cell proliferative activity. Chemicals that at 1 or more test concentrations provoke a 3-fold or greater in lymphnode cell proliferation compared with vehicle controls are classified as potential contact allergens.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Statistics:

Chemicals that at 1 or more test concentrations provoke a 3-fold or greater in lymphnode cell proliferation compared with vehicle controls are classified as potential contact allergens.

Positive control results:

The calculated EC3 value for the test chemical was 6.7% w/v. For the positive control, α- hexylcinnamaldehyde was 12.96%.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available studies for the test chemical indicate a very strong possibility that the test chemical has the potential to cause moderate sensitization to skin. Hence, the test chemical can be considered to be a skin sensitizer.
