Results and discussion

Positive control results:
As positive control for the current LLNA test, three groups each of four female mice were treated daily with alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde at concentrations of 5 %, 10 % and 25 % (w/v) in acetone:olive oil, 4:1 (v/v) by topical application to the dorsum of each ear lobe (left and right) for three consecutive days. A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle (acetone:olive oil, 4:1 (v/v).

The results obtained (STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.) for this positive test are reported as follows:.

Group 2 5* % (w/v) 2.4 * (S.I.)
Group 3 10 * % (w/v) 3.6 * (S.I.)
Group 4 25 % (w/v) 11.2 (S.I.)

A clear dose-response relationship was observed. * This value was used in calculation of EC3. The estimated concentration of test item required to produce a S.I. of 3 is referred to as the EC3 value and found to be EC3 = 7.5 % (w/v),

Calculation and results of individual data

The proliferative capacity of pooled lymph node cells was determined by the incorporation of 3H-methyl thymidine measured on a 13-scintillation counter See in text table below for stimulation index (S.I.).

No dose-response relationship was observed.

Calculation of the EC 3 value was not performed because no test concentrations produced a STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.) of 3 or higher.

The radioactive disintegration values for the individual treatment groups are included in Table 1 below.

Viability / Mortality

No deaths occurred during the study period.

Clinical Signs

No clinical signs were observed in any animals of the control group, Group 2 (5 %), Group 3 (10 %) or Group 4 (25 %). On the second application day, a slight to moderate ear erythema was observed at both dosing sites in all mice of Group 5 (50 %) and Group 6 (100 %,  undiluted), persisting for a total of two days. The individual clinical were graded in severity of the symptoms into four grades: slight (1), moderate (2), severe (3) and very severe (4),.

Body weights

 

The body weight of the animals, recorded prior to the first application and prior to necropsy, was within the range commonly recorded for animals of the strain and age.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
not sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
A test item is regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if the exposure to one or more test concentrations resulted in 3-fold or greater increase in incorporation of 3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the STIMULATION INDEX (S.I.).

RHODIASOLV RPDE was found to be a non-sensitizer when tested at up to the concentration of 100 % (undiluted).

Executive summary:

In order to study a possible contact allergenic potential of RHODIASOLV RPDE,  a local lymph node assay (LLNA) was performed according to the OECD Guideline 429 and und GLP Regulations. Five groups each of four female mice were treated daily with the test item at concentrations of 5 %, 10 %, 25 %, 50 % (w/v) in acetone/olive oil (4/1, v/v) and 100 % (undiluted) by topical application to the dorsum of each ear lobe (left and right) for three consecutive days. A control group of four mice was treated with the vehicle (acetone/olive oil (4/1, v/v)) only. Five days after the first topical application the mice were injected intravenously into a tail vein with radio-labelled thymidine 3H-methyl thymidine. Approximately five hours after intravenous injection, the mice were sacrificed, the draining auricular lymph nodes excised and pooled per group. Single cell suspensions of lymph node cells were prepared from pooled lymph nodes which were subsequently washed and incubated with trichloroacetic acid overnight. The proliferative capacity of pooled lymph node cells was determined by the incorporation of 3H-methyl thymidine measured. All treated animals survived the scheduled study period. No clinical signs were observed in any animals of the control group, Group 2 (5 %), Group 3 (10 %) or Group 4 (25 %). On the second application day, a slight to moderate ear erythema was observed at both dosing sites in all mice of Group 5 (50 %) and Group 6 (100 %, undiluted), persisting for a total of two days.

The results obtained (Stimulation Index (S.I.)) for each group of animals and exposure were as follows: group 2 (5% (w/v)), S.I. 0.6; group 3 (10% (w/v)), S.I. 0.6; group 4 (25% (w/v)), S.I. 1.0; group 5 (50% (w/v)), S.I.  0.6; group 6 (100% (w/v)), S.I. 0.5.

A test item is regarded as a sensitizer in the LLNA if the exposure to one or more test concentrations resulted in 3-fold or greater increase in incorporation of 3HTdR compared with concurrent controls, as indicated by the stimulation index (S.I.). In this study S.I. of 0.6, 0.6, 1.0, 0.6 and 0.5 were determined with the test item at concentrations of 5 %, 10 %, 25 %, 50 % (w/v) in acetone/olive oil (4/1, v/v) and 100 % (undiluted), respectively.

RHODIASOLV RPDE was therefore found to be a non-sensitizer when tested at up to the concentration of 100 % (i.e., undiluted).
