TEST ANIMALS
- Source: Charles River Deutschland GmbH, D-97633 Sulzfeld, Germany
- Age at study initiation: 9-11 weeks
- Weight at study initiation: 26 g to 31 g
- Housing: The mice were kept in groups in transparent macrolone cages (type 150, floor area 810 cm2) with six animals in each cage. The cages were cleaned and the bedding changed at least twice a week.
- Diet (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Water (e.g. ad libitum): ad libitum
- Acclimation period: >= 5 days

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
The study took place in animal room No. 4 provided with filtered air at a temperature of 21°C ± 3°C, relative humidity being at least 30 % and preferably not exceed 70 % and air changes 10 times/ hour. The room was illuminated to give a cycle of 12 hours light and 12 hours darkness. Light was on from 6 am to 6 pm.

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:

acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)

Concentration:

10 %, 25 % and 50 %

No. of animals per dose:

6

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: IMDS
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
The average LN cell count as a feature for the activation of the immune system (local lymph nodes) is used for the calculation of a proliferation stimulation index compared to the vehicle control:
stimulation index (SI) = LN cell count (treatment group)/LN cell count (vehicle control)
A lymph node index of 1.4 was determined as positive threshold value for the mouse strain NMRI by EHLING et al. (2005) as well as VOHR and AHR (2005).

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
On day 1, all animals were weighed, the thickness of ears was measured by using a micrometer (Oditest S0247) and an amount of 25 µl of the test item or of the vehicle was applied topically on the dorsal side of the ears.
The procedure of this open application was repeated on day 2 and 3 with the different concentrations of the test item or with the vehicle.

Conclusions:

In a study according to OECD test guideline 429, the test substance was found to be not skin sensitising.

Executive summary:

The skin sensitising potential of the test substance was investigated in a study according to OECD test guideline 429 under GLP. Using the vehicle acetone/olive oil, concentrations of 10, 25 and 50% were applied topically (open) on the dorsal side of the ears of NMRI six mice each. This application was repeated twice (24 and 48h after the first application). On day 4, after humane killing of the mice, the lymph nodes were removed and the cells suspended. In addition to the primary endpoint of cell count (expressed as stimulation index), ear thickness and weight and lymph node weight were measured. As the stimulation index for all three tested concentration was clearly below 1.4, i.e. the threshold for a positive result, the test substance is not considered to be a skin sensitiser.

As also for the other endpoints no increase was observed, it can additionally be concluded that the test substance is not skin irritating.
