Results and discussion

Positive control results:
EGDMA (120 µM) was used as positive control. The viability was above 70 % and a dis-tinct increase in luciferase induction above 2.5 fold in comparison to the solvent control was detected. This luciferase induction is well within the historical data range of the posi-tive control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Each valid experiment (i.e. meeting all acceptance criteria, according to the procedure described above) is interpreted as follows:
A test compound is considered to have the potential to activate the Nrf2 transcription factor if the luciferase induction is above or equal to 1.5 fold compared to the vehicle control in 2 (or more than) consecutive non-cytotoxic (relative viability ≥ 70 %) tested concentrations whereby at least three tested concentrations must be non-cytotoxic in two independent valid experiments.
A test compound is considered not to have the potential to activate the Nrf2 transcription factor if the effects mentioned above are not observed.

In order to come to a conclusion on the skin sensitization hazard of a substance, a mini-mum of two valid and independent experiments needs to indicate a positive or negative result according to the above-described criteria. If the first two experiments come to the same result (i.e. either being negative or being positive) no further testing is required. In case that the first two experiments give discordant results (i.e. one is negative and the other is positive), a third independent experiment needs to be conducted to complete the study. The skin sensitizing potential (corresponding to the potential to activate the Nrf2 transcription factor) of a test substance is determined by the result of the majority of the repetitions of an experiment. If two of two or two of three experiments are negative/positive, the substance is considered as negative/positive.

The luciferase induction was above 1.5 fold in more than 2 consecutive non-cytotoxic test item concentrations in experiment I and II.
Therefore, the test item (R)-3,7-dimethyl-1,6-octadien-3-ol is considered to have the poten-tial to activate the Nrf2 transcription factor (sensitizing potential) under the conditions of the LuSens test
