MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: murine Local Lymph Node Assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: stimulation Index SI >= 3 and dose-relationship; additional consideration of ear thickness
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Treatment preparation: The test item was prepared at the chosen concentrations in the vehicle.
The positive control was dissolved in AOO at the concentration of 25% (v/v).
- Administration:
On days 1, 2 and 3, a dose-volume of 25 µL of the control or dosage form preparations was applied to the dorsal surface of both ears, using an adjustable pipette fitted with a plastic tip.
In order to avoid licking and to ensure an optimized application of the test materials, the animals were placed under light isoflurane anesthezia during the administration.
No massage was performed but the tip was used to spread the preparation over the application sites. No rinsing was performed between each application. - Positive control substance(s):
- other: α-hexyl cinnamaldehyde (HCA)
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The threshold positive value of 3 for the SI was reached in the positive control group (see the table below).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Sensitising cat. 1B
- Remarks:
- Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU
- Conclusions:
- Propane-2-thiol gave a positive result in the murine Local Lymph Node Assay, indicative of skin sensitization properties.
According to the EC3 of 75%, propane-2-thiol should be considered as a weak sensitizer (CiToxLAB, 2013). According to the criteria of CLP Regulation, the test item should be classified as skin sensitizer (category 1 and sub-category 1B) and assigned the signal word “warning” and the hazard statement “H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction”.
According to the criteria of CLP Regulation, the test item should be classified as skin sensitizer (category 1 and sub-category 1B) and assigned the signal word “warning” and the hazard statement “H317: May cause an allergic skin reaction”. - Executive summary:
Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) (CiToxLab, 2013). This study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice. To assess the irritant potential of propane-2-thiol (through ear thickness measurement), a preliminary test was first performed in order to define the propane-2-thiol concentrations to be used in the main test. Two groups of two female mice received propane-2-thiol, by topical route to the dorsal surface of both ears (one concentration per ear) on days 1, 2 and 3 at the concentrations of 5, 10, 25 or 50% under a dose-volume of 25 µL. From day 1 to day 3 then on day 6, the thickness of both ears of each animal was measured and the local reactions were recorded. Each animal was observed at least once a day for mortality and clinical signs. Body weight was recorded once during the acclimation period, and then on days 1 and 6. On completion of the observation period, the animals were sacrificed then discarded without macroscopicpost-mortemexamination. In the first main test, five groups of four female mice received propane-2-thiol by topical route to the dorsal surface of both ears on days 1, 2 and 3 at concentrations of 2.5, 5, 10, 25 or 50% under a dose‑volume of 25 µL. In the second main test, three groups of four female mice received propane-2-thiol by topical route to the dorsal surface of both ears on days 1, 2 and 3 at concentrations of 50, 75 or 100% under a dose‑volume of 25 µL. In both tests, one negative control group of four females received the vehicle (Acetone/Olive Oil (4/1; v/v)) under the same experimental conditions. Additionally, one positive control group of four females received the positive control,α‑hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA), at 25% in a mixture acetone/olive oil (4/1; v/v) under the same experimental conditions. For each main test, from day 1 to day 3 then on day 6, the thickness of the left ear of each animal was measured, except in animals of the positive control groups, and the local reactions were recorded. Each animal was observed at least once a day for mortality and clinical signs. Body weight was recorded once during the acclimation period, and then on days 1 and 6. After 2 days of resting, on day 6, the animals received a single intravenous injection of tritiated methyl thymidine (3H-TdR). Approximately 5 hours later, the animals were sacrificed and the auricular lymph nodes were excised. The proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph node draining the application site was measured by incorporation of3H-TdR. The results were expressed as disintegrations per minute (dpm) per group and as dpm/node. The obtained values were used to calculate Stimulation Indices (SI). No unscheduled deaths and no clinical signs indicative of systemic toxicity were observed during the observation period of both main tests. Body weight of animals was unaffected by propane-2-thiol treatment. No local reactions were observed in any animals of both main tests. No notable increase in ear thickness was observed at any tested concentrations. The SI of the positive control of both main tests was > 3; these main tests were therefore considered valid. No notable lymphoproliferation was noted with propane-2-thiol at any tested concentrations in the first main test. In the second main test, a dose-related increase in the SI was recorded at concentrations ≥ 50%, and the threshold positive value of 3 was exceeded at the concentration of 100%. In the absence of local irritation, the significant lymphoproliferative responses observed were attributed to delayed contact hypersensitivity. Based on the results of the second main test, the EC3value is equal to 75.5%.
Propane-2-thiol gave a positive result in the murine Local Lymph Node Assay, indicative of skin sensitization properties. According to the EC3value obtained, propane-2-thiol should be considered as a weak sensitizer.
