MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: murine Local Lymph Node Assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: stimulation Index SI >= 3 and dose-relationship; additional consideration of ear thickness

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Treatment preparation: The test item was prepared at the chosen concentrations in the vehicle.
The positive control was dissolved in AOO at the concentration of 25% (v/v).
- Administration:
On days 1, 2 and 3, at approximately the same time each day, a dose-volume of 25 µL of the control or dose formulation preparations was applied to the dorsal surface of both ears, using an adjustable pipette fitted with a plastic tip.
In order to avoid licking and to ensure an optimized application of the test materials, and to facilitate ear thickness measurement, the animals were placed under light isoflurane anesthezia during the administration.
No massage was performed but the tip was used to spread the preparation over the application sites. No rinsing was performed between each application.
The dose formulations were stirred manually throughout the dosing procedure.
Positive control substance(s):
other: a-hexyl cinnamaldehyde (HCA)
Statistics:

Cellular proliferation data / Observations:
No unscheduled deaths and no clinical signs indicative of systemic toxicity were observed during the observation period. Body weight of animals was unaffected by the test item treatment.
At the concentration of 25%, erythema was observed on day 3 and on day 4/4 and in 2/4 females, respectively. Dryness of ear skin was noted in 3/4 and 4/4 females at the concentrations of 10 and 25%, respectively on day 6.
No notable increase in ear thickness was observed at 1, 2.5, 5 and 10%. But a significant increase in ear thickness of 50.50% was observed in females treated at the concentration of 25% on day 6.
The threshold positive value of 3 for the SI was reached in the positive control group (SI = 6.68). The experiment was therefore considered valid.
A significant dose-related lymphoproliferation (SI > 3) was noted at 10 and 25%.

Based on the positive SI value observed at concentrations of 10% and 25% (7.12 and 7.72 respectively) , the test item should be considered as a skin sensitizer. As irritation was also observed at concentration of 25%, it might be possible to conclude that an excessive local irritation may be involved in false positive lymphoproliferation responses at this concentration.
Nevertheless, in the absence of local irritation at 10%, the significant lymphoproliferative response observed at this concentration was attributed to delayed contact hypersensitivity. The EC3value is equal to 6%.

Conclusions:

Executive summary:

A study was performed to assess the skin sensitisation potential of the test item to induce contact hypersensitivity using the murine Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA). The method was conducted in compliance with OECD Guideline No. 429 and in compliance with GLP.


To assess the irritant potential of the test item (through ear thickness measurement), a preliminary test was first performed in order to define the test item concentrations to be used in the main test. Two groups of two female mice received the test item by topical route to the dorsal surface of both ears (one concentration per ear) on days 1, 2 and 3 at concentrations of 10, 25, 50 or 100% under a dose-volume of 25 µL. From day 1 to day 3 then on day 6, the thickness of both ears of each animal was measured and the local reactions were recorded. Each animal was observed at least once a day for mortality and clinical signs. Body weight was recorded once during the acclimation period and then on days 1 and 6. On completion of the observation period, the animals were sacrificed then discarded without macroscopic post-mortem examination.


     


In the main test, five groups of four female mice received the test item by topical route to the dorsal surface of both ears on days 1, 2 and 3 at concentrations of 1, 2.5, 5, 10 or 25% under a dose-volume of 25 µL. One negative control group of four females received the vehicle (acetone/olive oil(4/1; v/v)) under the same experimental conditions. Additionally, one positive control group of four females received the positive control, a-hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA), at 25% in a mixture acetone/olive oil (4/1; v/v) under the same experimental conditions.


From day 1 to day 3 then on day 6, the thickness of the left ear of each animal was measured, except in animals of the positive control group, and the local reactions were recorded. Each animal was observed at least once a day for mortality and clinical signs. Body weight was recorded once during the acclimation period, and then on days 1 and 6.


After 2 days of resting, on day 6, the animals received a single intravenous injection of tritiated methyl thymidine (3H-TdR). Approximately 5 hours later, the animals were sacrificed and the auricular lymph nodes were excised. The proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph node draining the application site was measured by incorporation of 3H-TdR.


The results are expressed as disintegrations per minute (dpm) per group and as dpm/node. The obtained values were used to calculate Stimulation Indices (SI).


 


 


No unscheduled deaths and no clinical signs indicative of systemic toxicity were observed during the observation period. Body weight of animals was unaffected by the test item treatment.


At the concentration of 25%, erythema was observed on day 3 and on day 4/4 and in 2/4 females, respectively. Dryness of ear skin was noted in 3/4 and 4/4 females at the concentrations of 10 and 25%, respectively on day 6.


No notable increase in ear thickness was observed at 1, 2.5, 5 and 10%. But a significant increase in ear thickness of 50.50% was observed in females treated at the concentration of 25% on day 6.


The threshold positive value of 3 for the SI was reached in the positive control group (SI = 6.68). The experiment was therefore considered valid.


A significant dose-related lymphoproliferation (SI > 3) was noted at 10 and 25%.


 


Based on the positive SI value observed at concentrations of 10% and 25% (7.12 and 7.72 respectively) , the test item should be considered as a skin sensitizer. As irritation was also observed at concentration of 25%, it might be possible to conclude that an excessive local irritation may be involved in false positive lymphoproliferation responses at this concentration.


Nevertheless, in the absence of local irritation at 10%, the significant lymphoproliferative response observed at this concentration was attributed to delayed contact hypersensitivity. The EC3value is equal to 6%.


 


Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item gave a positive result in the murine Local Lymph Node Assay, indicative of skin sensitization properties. According to the EC3value obtained, the test item should be considered as a moderate sensitizer and classified into Category 1B; H317 according to CLP criteria.
