Executive summary:

As part of a weight of evidence approach, the skin irritation observation reported during a study equivalent to OECD Guideline 429 (Skin Sensitisation: Local Lymph Node Assay) with no deviations were considered. Five mice per group were dosed with the test substance at concentrations of 11.3, 22.5, 33.8 and 45% in an acetone:olive oil (4:1) vehicle following 1 week of acclimation period. The mice were dosed once daily at approximately the same time for three consecutive days. All mice were observed twice daily on dosing days immediately prior to and approximately 4-6 hours after dosing, then once daily for moribundity, mortality, and any signs of toxicity and skin reactions. The skin sensitization study continued to determine skin sensitization potential as described elsewhere within this dossier.

There were no mortalities and no signs of systemic toxicity or irritation noted for the test and control animals.

No. of animals per dose:

Details on study design:

Five mice per group were dosed with the test substance at concentrations of 11.3, 22.5, 33.8 and 45% in an acetone:olive oil (4:1) vehicle. The mice were dosed once daily at approximately the same time for three consecutive days. All mice were observed twice daily on dosing days immediately prior to and approximately 4-6 hours after dosing, then once daily for moribundity, mortality, and any signs of toxicity and skin reactions. Approximately 2 days after the last dose, mice were injected with the radio-label ([3H]-thymidine) and approximately 5 hours later, the auricular nodes were excised and single-cell suspensions were prepared. The cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline to remove unbound radiolabel and then precipitated with 5% trichloroacetic acid. The total radiolabel incorporation in these precipitates was subsequently quantitated by liquid scintillation spectrometry. A single animal was dosed with less than the required volume of [3H]-thymidine (50% dose group) and this animal was not included in the analysis.

Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

other: 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (DNCB)

Statistics:

The observed values of disintegrations per minutes (DPM) of acid-precipitated auricular lymph node cells were analysed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Statistical analyses were performed using SigmaStat for windows software.

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

2.5 µg/mL of DNCB: Proliferative response - 13024.53 DPM/lymph node; Stimulation index – 19.39
42.5% of HCA: Proliferative response - 4260.59 DPM/lymph node; Stimulation index – 6.34

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

There was no evidence of induction of a lymphocyte proliferative response indicative of skin sensitisation to the test substance.

Executive summary:

Five mice per group were dosed with the test substance at concentrations of 11.3, 22.5, 33.8 and 45% in an acetone:olive oil (4:1) vehicle. The mice were dosed once daily at approximately the same time for three consecutive days. All mice were observed twice daily on dosing days immediately prior to and approximately 4-6 hours after dosing, then once daily for moribundity, mortality, and any signs of toxicity and skin reactions. Approximately 2 days after the last dose, mice were injected with the radio-label ([3H]-thymidine) and approximately 5 hours later, the auricular nodes were excised and single-cell suspensions were prepared. The cells were washed with phosphate-buffered saline to remove unbound radiolabel and then precipitated with 5% trichloroacetic acid. The total radiolabel incorporation in these precipitates was subsequently quantitated by liquid scintillation spectrometry. 

 

There were no mortalities and no signs of systemic toxicity or irritation noted for the test and control animals. Evidence of induction of T-cell proliferation was not observed with the test substance, as the stimulation index was less than three at each of the test concentrations.

The positive control groups had significantly increased DPM values and a mean stimulation index >3.

There was no evidence of induction of a lymphocyte proliferative response indicative of skin sensitisation to the test substance.
