Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
Animals chosen for this study were selected from a stock supply of healthy male and female CD rat of Sprague-Dawley origin (Hsd:Sprague-Dawley(CD)) obtained from Harlan U.K. Ltd., Bicester, Oxon, England. They were in the weight range of 125 to 152 g and approx 5-7 weeks of age prior to dosing (Day 1). All the rats were acclimatised to the experimental environment for a minimum period of 15 d prior to the start of the study. Rats were allocated without conscious bias to cages within the treatment groups. They were housed in groups of 5 rats of the same sex in metal cages (RS biotech sub-dividable rodent cages polished stainless steel (20 cm high x 39 cm wide x 39 cm long). The cages were suspended in the mobile stainless steel racks in room 6 of building R14.

A standard laboratory rodent diet (Special Diet Services RM1(E) SQC expanded pellet) and drinking water were provided ad libitum. Access to food only was prevented overnight prior to and approx 4 h after dosing. Each batch of diet used for the study was analyzed for certain nutrients, possible contaminants and micro-organisms. Results of routine physical and chemical examination of drinking water, as conducted by the supplier are made available to Huntingdon Life Sciences Ltd. at regular intervals throughout the year. Animal room environmental controls were set to maintain temperature within the range 22 ± 3°C (actual 21 to 26°C) and relative humidity 30-70% (actual 39 to 58%). These environmental parameters were recorded continously using a 7 d recorder. Lighting was controlled by means of a time switch to provide 12 h of artificial light (0700 – 1900 GMT) in each 24 h period. Each animal was identified by cage number and ear punching.

Details on oral exposure:
The test substance was administered as supplied at a volume of 4.452 mL/kg bw. The observation and characterization of the homogeneity, stability and purity of the test substance was not undertaken as part of this study and remains the responsibility of the Sponsor.
Doses:
Preliminary study: 3200 mg/kg bw
Main study: 5000 mg/kg bw
No. of animals per sex per dose:
Preliminary study: 2 rats (1 male and female)
Main study: 5/sex/dose
Control animals:
no
Details on study design:
Preliminary study: 2 rats (one male and one female) received a single oral gavage dose of the test substance at a dose level of 3200 mg/kg bw using a syringe and plastic catheter or cannula. This was conducted to help define the toxic potential of the test substance and aid in selection of a suitable dosage for the main study.
Main study:
As results at this dosage indicated the acute lethal oral dose of the test substance to be greater than 3200 mg/kg bw, in compliance with the guidelines, a further group of 10 rats (five males and five females) was similarly dosed at 5000 mg/kg bw to complete the study. The day of dosing was designated Day 1. Cages of rats were checked at least twice daily for any mortalities. For clinical signs animals were observed soon after dosing and at frequent intervals for the remainder of Day 1. On subsequent days, animals were observed once in the morning and again at the end of the experimental day (with the exception of Day 15 - morning only). The nature and severity of the clinical signs and time were recorded at each observation. All animals were observed for 7 to 14 d after dosing. The bw of each rat was recorded on 1 (prior to dosing), 8 and 15 d. Individual weekly bodyweight changes and group mean bw were calculated. All animals were killed on Day 15 by carbon dioxide asphyxiation. All animals were subjected to a macroscopic examination which consisted of opening the thoracic and abdominal cavities. The macroscopic appearance of all examined organs was recorded.

IN-LIFE DATES: From: 04 April - 07 May 2012
Vehicle:
acetone/olive oil (4:1 v/v)
Concentration:
Main test concentrations: 0, 0.5, 1, 2.5%
Pre-screen test was done at doses of 0.5, 1, 2.5, 5, 10, 50 and 100%. Up to doses of 5%, ear swelling and signs of erythema were too pronounced. In the OECD TG 429, it is written “excessive local skin irritation is indicated by an erythema score ≥3 and/or an increase in ear thickness of ≥25% on any day of measurement. The highest dose selected for the main LLNA study will be the next lower dose in the pre-screen concentration series that does not induce systemic toxicity and/or excessive local skin irritation.“. In the case of di-TMPTTA, the threshold of 25% of ear thickness was exceeded at the doses of 5% and higher. Therefore the main study has been conducted with doses of 0.5, 1 and 2.5%.
No. of animals per dose:
5
Details on study design:
The vehicle was selected based on trial formulations performed at WIL Research Europe and on test substance data supplied by the sponsor.

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: DPM values are presented for each animal and for each dose group. A Stimulation Index (SI) is calculated for each group. The SI is the ratio of the DPM/group compared to DPM/vehicle control group. If the results indicate a SI ≥ 3, the test substance may be regarded as a skin sensitizer. The results were evaluated according to the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (20011) and the Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on Classification, Labelling and Packaging of substances and mixtures.

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT
Three groups of five animals were treated with one test substance concentration per group. One group of five animals was treated with vehicle.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Test substance preparation: The test substance formulations (w/w) were prepared within 4 h prior to each treatment. Homogeneity was obtained to visually acceptable levels.
Rationale for vehicle: The vehicle was selected based on trial formulations performed at WIL Research Europe and on test substance data supplied by the sponsor.

Induction - Days 1, 2 and 3; Excision of nodes - Day 6; Tissue processing for radioacitivity - Day 6; Radioactivity measurements - Day 7; Performed according to test guidelines.

Observations:
Mortality/Viability: Twice daily.
Body weights: On Day 1 (pre-dose) and Day 6 (prior to necropsy).
Clinical signs: Once daily on Days 1-6 (on Days 1-3 between 3 and 4 h after dosing).
Irritation: Once daily on Days 1-6 (on Days 1 - 3 immediately after dosing) according to the following numerical scoring system. Furthermore, a description of all other (local) effects was recorded according to guidelines.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
Positive control results:
The six-month reliability check with alpha-hexylcinnamicaldehyde indicates that the Local Lymph Node Assay as performed at WIL Research Europe is an appropriate model for testing for contact hypersensitivity. See attached document 'Reliability check'.

Results pre-screen test:

Based on the results obtained in this test, the highest test substance concentration selected for the main study was a 2.5% concentration

Other results - main study:

Skin reactions / Irritation:

The slight irritation of the ears as shown by all animals treated at 2.5% (on Days 2 and 3) was considered not to have a toxicologically significant effect on the activity of the nodes. No irritation was shown by the other animals.

Systemic toxicity/Body weights:

No mortality occurred and no clinical signs of systemic toxicity were observed in the animals of the main study. Body weights and body weight gain of experimental animals remained in the same range as controls over the study period. The body weight loss noted across the dose groups was considered not toxicologically significant since the changes were slight in nature and no concentration-related incidence was apparent.

Macroscopy of the auricular lymph nodes and surrounding area:

All auricular lymph nodes of the animals of the experimental and control groups were considered normal in size. No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted in any of the animals.

Interpretation of results:
other: CLP criteria not met
Conclusions:
In a mouse LLNA study, SI values calculated for the concentrations of 0.5, 1 and 2.5% di-TMPTTA were 0.9, 1.2 and 2.2, respectively. These results indicate that the test substance did not elicit an SI ≥ 3. The substance is therefore not considered to be sensitizing.
Executive summary:

A study was conducted to assess the skin sensitizing potential of di-TMPTTA in a mouse local lymph node assay conducted according to OECD Guideline 429, EU Method B.42 and EPA OPPTS 870.2600, in compliance with GLP. Five animals per dose were exposed to the test substance at 0.5, 1.0 or 2.5%. The slight irritation of the ears observed on Days 2 and 3 in all animals treated at 2.5% was not considered to have a toxicologically significant effect on the activity of the nodes. No irritation was shown by the other animals. All auricular lymph nodes of the animals of the experimental and control groups were considered normal in size. No macroscopic abnormalities of the surrounding area were noted. Mean degradations per minute (dpm)/animal at 0.5, 1 and 2.5% were 448, 613 and 1,174, respectively. The mean dpm/animal for the vehicle control group was 524. The SI values calculated for the substance concentrations of 0.5, 1.0 and 2.5% were 0.9, 1.2 and 2.2, respectively. Since there was no indication that the test substance could elicit an SI ≥ 3 when tested up to 2.5%, it was established that the EC3 value (the estimated test substance concentration that will give a SI =3) exceeds 2.5%. The substance was therefore not considered to be sensitizing (Beerens 2013).
