- Females (if applicable) nulliparous and non-pregnant: yes
- Age at study initiation: young adult animals (approx. 10 weeks old) were selected.
- Weight at study initiation: body weight variation was within +/- 20% of the sex mean.
- Identification: tail mark with marker pen.
- Housing: Individual housing in labeled Macrolon cages containing sterilized sawdust as bedding material. Paper was supplied as cage-enrichment.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to pelleted rodent diet (SM R/M-Z).
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): Free access to tap water.
- Acclimation period: the acclimation period was at least 5 days before the start of treatment under laboratory conditions. Accommodation was as described above except that the animals were group housed in Macrolon cages.
- Indication of any skin lesions: a health inspection was performed prior to treatment, to ensure that the animals are in a good state of health. Special attention was paid to the ears, which were intact and free from any abnormality.

DETAILS ON STIMULATION INDEX CALCULATION
The results indicate that the test substance could elicit an SI ≥ 3.
EC3 CALCULATION
No reliable EC value could be calculated.
CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS
- Skin reactions/Irritation: Slight erythema was observed in two animals at 25%, and in all animals at 50% and 100%. No oedema was observed in any of the animals examined. The irritation of the ears as shown by the animals was considered not to have a toxicologically significant effect on the activity of the nodes.
- Toxicity/Mortality: No mortality occurred and no symptoms 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. The slight body weight loss, noted in some animals, was considered not toxicologically significant.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
- Conclusions:
- The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations 25, 50 and 100% were 11.0, 26.5 and 26.0 respectively. These results indicate that the test substance could elicit an SI ≥ 3. No reliable EC value could be calculated. Based on these results, butoxystyrene should be classified as skin sensitizer (Cat. 1) according to GHS criteria.
- Executive summary:
A Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) was performed to assess contact hypersensitivity to butoxystyrene in mice. Test substance concentrations selected for the main study were based on the results of a preliminary study.
In the main study, three groups of five experimental animals were treated with test substance concentrations of 25%, 50% or 100% on three consecutive days, by open application on the ears. Five vehicle control animals were similarly treated, but with vehicle alone (Acetone/Olive oil). 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. 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.
Slight erythema was observed in two animals at 25% and in all animals at 50% and 100%. The irritation of the ears as shown by the animals was considered not to have a toxicologically significant effect on the activity of the nodes. The largest nodes were found in the highest dose group. No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted.
The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations 25, 50 and 100% were 11.0, 26.5 and 26.0 respectively. These results indicate that the test substance could elicit an SI ≥ 3. No reliable EC value could be calculated.
Based on these results, butoxystyrene should be classified as skin sensitizer (Category 1) according to GHS criteria.
