Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)
Concentration:
10%, 25%, 50% (w/w) (verified analytically)
No. of animals per dose:
5 (2 in the range finding test)
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: maximal achieveable concentration: 50%
- Irritation: 50%: erythema grade 1, slight ear swelling and an increase in ear thickness (33.3%), which was not observed anymore on day 6
25%: No signs of irritation or systemic toxicity were observed

MAIN STUDY
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
1. at least one concentration of the test item, showing no excessive local irritation, results in an incorporation of ³HTdR ad least 3-fold greater than that recorded in control mice (indicated by the SI)
2. data are compatible with a conventional dose reponse, although allowance must be made (especially at high topical concentrations) for either local toxicity or immunological suppression.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Sonicating and warming to 37°C was used for formulate the test item. Preparations were freshly made before dosing.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
