Statistics:
Data was processed to give group mean values for disintegrations per minute and standard deviations where appropriate. Individual and group mean disintegrations per minute values were assessed for dose response relationships. Data was first assessed for suitability by analysis of normality and homogeneity of variance. If the assumptions that the data are both normally distributed and has homogeneity of variances, then parametric one way analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Dunnett’s multiple comparison procedure were used to determine statistical significance. If the assumptions were not met, non-parametric Kruskal-Wallis Rank Sum and Mann-Whitney U test procedures were used.

Probability values (p) are presented as follows:

P<0.001 ***
P<0.01 **
P<0.05 *
P>0.05 (not significant)
Positive control results:
Concurrent control was within the historical control data. The positive control α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde, tech., 85% gave a Stimulation Index of greater than 3 (4.77) when tested at a concentration of 25% v/v in acetone/olive oil 4:1, thus, demonstrating the sensitivity and reliability of the test system.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test item was considered to be a non-sensitiser under the conditions of the test. Based on the condition of this study, the test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
Executive summary:

OECD 429 (2017) - In a dermal sensitization study with Reaction mass of (4R)-4-isopropenyl-1-methylcyclohexene and (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene in acetone: olive oil (4:1 v/v)young female adult mice (CBA/Ca (CBA/CaOlaHsd)) were tested using the Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA)

 

Following a preliminary screening test in which no clinical signs of toxicity were noted at a concentration of 100 %, this concentration was selected as the highest dose investigated in the main test. Three groups, each of five animals, were treated with 50 μL (25 μL per ear) of the undiluted test item or the test item as a solution in the vehicle at concentrations of 50 % or 25 % v/v. A further group of five animals was treated with the vehicle alone. A concurrent positive control test, using a group of five animals, was also performed with the known sensitiser, α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde tech., 85%, at a concentration of 25 % v/v in the vehicle.

 

There were no signs of systemic toxicity, local skin irritation observed and ear thickness were within normal range. There were no clinical abnormalities or macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted for any of the animals and no mortality reported during the studyThe Stimulation Index, expressed as the mean radioactive incorporation for each treatment group divided by the mean radioactive incorporation of the vehicle control group, was determined for each treatment group.

 

There was no indication that the test item elicits a Stimulation Index ≥ 3 when tested up to 100 %, the test item was considered to be a non-sensitiser under the conditions of the test.

 

In this study, Reaction mass of (4R)-4-isopropenyl-1-methylcyclohexene and (4R)-4-(2-methoxypropan-2-yl)-1-methylcyclohexene was not a dermal sensitizer.

 

Based on the condition of this study, the test item does not meet the criteria for classification according to the Globally Harmonized Classification System and to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, relating to the Classification, Labelling and Packaging of Substances and Mixtures.
