Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
dimethylformamide
Concentration:
10, 25 and 50% (w/v)
No. of animals per dose:
4
Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
The preliminary experiment was conducted in a similar experimental manner to the main study, but it was terminated on Day 6 and radioactive proliferation assay was not performed. Two animals per dose group were used.
- Compound solubility: The maximum soluble concentration was > 50% (w/v) test substance in the vehicle. For the preliminary irritation test, concentrations of 25 and 50% (w/v) of the test substance in dimethylformamide (DMF) were used. In both concentrations, the test substance precipitated on the ears of the treated animals.
- Irritation: No skin irritation and no systemic toxicity were observed during the treatment period.
- Lymph node proliferation response: not performed

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Tritiated thymidine (³HTdR) incorporation determined by β-scintillation.
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
The test item is regarded as a sensitizer if both of the following criteria are fulfilled:
1. Exposure to at least one concentration of the test substance resulted in an incorporation of ³HTdR at least 3-fold or higher than recorded in control mice, as indicated by the stimulation index.
2. Dose-response relationship, structural relationship with known skin sensitizers as well as local skin irritation must be taken into account.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
25 μl of 10, 25 and 50% (w/v) of the test substance in DMF was applied to the entire dorsal surface of both ears of each mouse. Each animal was treated once a day for 3 consecutive days. There was no treatment on Days 4 and 5. On Day 6, an injection of 250 μl phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 20 μCi of ³HTdR was made into the tail vein of each animal. Approximately 5 h later, the draining auricular lymph node of each ear was excised into PBS. Once removed, the nodes of mice from each test group were pooled. A single cell suspension of these pooled lymph node cells was prepared by gentle mechanical disaggregating of the lymph nodes through a cell strainer using the plunger of a disposable syringe. Single cell suspensions were washed two-fold with PBS. After washing, cells were precipitated with 5% trichloroacetic acid (TCA) at 2 - 8 °C for 18 h. Each precipitate was transferred to a suitable sized scintillation vial with 10 mL of scintillation liquid and thoroughly mixed. The vials were loaded to a β-scintillation counter and ³HTdR incorporation was measured for up to 10 min per sample.
Positive control substance(s):
other: 25% (w/v) α-hexylcinnamaldehyde in dimethylformamide (DMF)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The positive control substance induced a SI value of 3.8, thus meeting the reliability criteria for the local lymph node assay (SI > 3).

Clinical signs:

No mortality and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed in any animal during the study period. The treatment with the test substance has no influence on the body weight of the animals.
