In vivo test system

Test animals

Species:

mouse

Strain:

CBA

Sex:

female

Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:

dimethyl sulphoxide

Concentration:

Experiment started at concentration of 50%. The next dose level of 100 % was selected according to OECD Guideline 429.

No. of animals per dose:

The animals were divided to the experimental groups:
1. Negative control (vehicle) - 5 animals
2. Positive control - 10 animals
(Notice: positive control was repeated because one animal died during experiment)
3. Test item- 50% concentration - 5 animals
4. Test item – 100% concentration - 5 animals
Additional animals (n=10) reserved for the other dose levels of test item were not used in this study.

Results and discussion

In vivo (LLNA)

Results

Results 1

Parameter:

SI

Remarks on result:

other: At both doses of test item very similar stimulation indices were achieved, with stimulation index for 50% concentration of 1.95 and 100% concentration of 2.14, respectively.

Results 2

Parameter:

other: disintegrations per minute (DPM)

Remarks on result:

other: 533 dpm (conc. 50%) and 671 dpm (conc.100%)

Any other information on results incl. tables

After application of Zinc hexacyanocobaltate dodecahydrate at the concentrations of 50% and 100%, the animals did not show visible clinical symptoms either of local irritation or systemic toxicity.

No significant (in comparison with control group) changes in the body weights only slight increase of lymph node weights after treatment with test item were observed.

It can be concluded that Zinc hexacyanocobaltate dodecahydrate exert moderate proliferation of lymphocytes under the conditions of the performed test.

Zinc hexacyanocobaltate dodecahydrate was tested without skin sensitization effect up to a maximum dose 100% (SI ˂ 3).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Zinc hexacyanocobaltate dodecahydrate did not exert positive effect under the experimental conditions of the performed test and in accordance with the results obtained in this study is considered to be non-skin sensitizing agent.
