MAIN STUDY
In the main study, three experimental groups of five female CBA/J mice were treated with test item concentrations of 0% (w/w), 5% (w/w), 10% (w/w), 25% (w/w) on three consecutive days, by open application on the ears. Five vehicle control animals were similarly treated, but with the vehicle alone (Aceton/Olive Oil (4:1 v/v)). Three days after the last exposure, all animals were injected with 3H-methyl thymidine and after five hours the draining (auricular) lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each animal. After precipitating the DNA of the lymph node cells, radioactivity measurements were performed. The activity was expressed as the number of disintegrations per minute (DPM) and a stimulation index (SI) was subsequently calculated for each group.
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: LLNA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
DPM values are presented for each animal and for each dose group. A Stimulation Index (SI) is calculated for each group using the individual SI values. The individual SI is the ratio of the DPM/animal compared to the DPM/vehicle control group mean. If the results indicate a SI ≥ 3, the test item may be regarded as a skin sensitizer. Consideration was given to the EC3 value (the estimated test item concentration that will give a SI =3) EC3 value ≤ 2%: sub-category 1A,EC3 value > 2%: sub-category 1B.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Test item dosing formulations (w/w) were homogenized in the vehicle (acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)) to visually acceptable levels at appropriate concentrations to meet dose level requirements. The dosing formulations were prepared daily and dosed within 4 hours after adding the vehicle to the test item. The dosing formulations were kept at room temperature until dosing. The dorsal surface of both ears was topically treated (25 μL/ear) with the test item, at approximately the same time on each day. The concentrations were stirred with a magnetic stirrer immediately prior to dosing. The control animals were treated in the same way as the experimental animals, except that the vehicle was administered instead of the test item. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- - DPM values are presented for each animal and for each dose group.
- A Stimulation Index (SI) is calculated for each group using the individual SI values. The individual SI is the ratio of the DPM/animal compared to the DPM/vehicle control group mean.
- Consideration was given to the EC3 value (the estimated test item concentration that will give a SI =3)
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The SI values calculated for the item concentrations 5, 10 and 25% were 1.4, 2.4 and 4.3 respectively. An EC3 value of 14.7% was calculated using linear interpolation. The calculated EC3 value was found to be in the acceptable range of 4.8 and 19.5%. The results of the 6 monthly HCA reliability checks of the recent years were 13.4, 14.1, 17.3, 9.8, 17.8% and 18.0%.The six-month reliability check with Alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde indicates that the Local Lymph Node Assay as performed at Charles River Den Bosch was found a appropriate model for testing for contact hypersensitivity

All auricular lymph nodes of the animals of the experimental and control groups were considered normal in size. No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted for any of the animals.
DETAILS ON STIMULATION INDEX CALCULATION
Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with test item concentrations 5, 10 and 25% were 937, 1021 and 1656 DPM, respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle control group was 784 DPM. The SI values calculated for the test item concentrations 5, 10 and 25% were 1.2, 1.3 and 2.1, respectively.
EC3 CALCULATION
Since there was no indication that the test item elicits a SI ≥ 3 when tested up to 25%, Terpenes 2 (Thujopsene), Cedarwood Texas oil distilled was not considered to be a skin sensitizer. It was established that the EC3 value (the estimated test item concentration that will give a SI =3) (if any) exceeds 25%.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS:
No erythema was noted for any of the animals, scaliness was noted for the majority of animals treated at a 10% and 25% test item concentration between Days 4 and 6.No mortality occurred and no clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals of the main study.
BODY WEIGHTS
Body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: not sensitising
- Remarks:
- Based on CLP criteria (Annex I of 1272/2008/EC)
- Conclusions:
- Based on the results of this LLNA, the Cedarwood Texas oil distilled - Terpenes (Thujopsene) does not need to be classified as skin sensitiser according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
- Executive summary:
The skin sensitisation potential of Cedarwood Texas oil distilled - Terpenes (Thujopsene) was tested according to OECD, Section 4, Health Effects, No.429 (2010). Three experimental groups of five female CBA/J mice were treated with test item concentrations of 5, 10 or 25% w/w on three consecutive days, by open application on the ears. Test item concentrations selected for the main study were based on the results of a pre-screen test. Five vehicle control animals were similarly treated, but with the vehicle alone (AcOO). No erythema was noted for any of the animals, scaliness was noted for the majority of animals treated at a 10% and 25% test item concentration between Days 4 and 6. All auricular lymph nodes of the animals of the experimental and control groups were considered normal in size. No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted for any of the animals. The mean body weight gain shown by the animals over the study period was considered to be normal. Mean DPM/animal values for the experimental groups treated with test item concentrations 5, 10 and 25% were 937, 1021 and 1656 DPM, respectively. The mean DPM/animal value for the vehicle control group was 784 DPM. The SI values calculated for the test item concentrations 5, 10 and 25% were 1.2, 1.3 and 2.1, respectively. Based on the results of this LLNA, the Cedarwood Texas oil distilled - Terpenes (Thujopsene) does not need to be classified as skin sensitiser according to the classification criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC (CLP).
