Results
Parameter:
SI
Remarks on result:
other: NMRI mice did not show an increase in the stimulation indices for cell counts or for weights of the draining lymph nodes.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The body weights of the animals were not affected by any treatment.

The "positive level" of ear swelling (i.e. increase of about 10% of the control values) has not been reached or exceeded in any dose group.

A slight statistically significant increase compared to vehicle treated animals regarding ear weight was detected in the low dose group. However, this change was in the range of normal variance for this parameter.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

To determine the skin-sensitizing properties of 4 -(4 -Nitrophenyl)-3 -morpholinon the LLNA was performed on female NMRI mice according to OECD guideline 429, 406 and EPA OPPTS 870.2600. The study was conducted with the following test substance concentrations: 2, 10 and 50%.

The results showed that the test item has no sensitising potential in mice after dermal application of up to and including 50% concentration. No indication for a non-specific (irritating) activation was detected, too.
