Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS:
- Compound solubility: Groups of one female were treated at one of three concentrations of the test substance. The mice were treated by daily application of 25 uL of appropriate concentration of the test substance to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1-3). The test substance was applied to the dorsal surface of each ear using an automatic micropipette. The test substance was spread over the entire dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette.
- There were no deaths during the study.

Clinical signs of reaction to treatment comprised:
- Group 1 (5% w/v): Greasy fur around the cranial region was seen post dose from Day 2 and was still present at termination on Day 4.
- Group 2 (10% w/v): Greasy fur around the cranial region was seen post dose from Day 1 and was still present at termination on Day 4. Wet fur cranial region was noted post dose on Day 1 only. In addition, particles on the ears were seen post dose from Day 1 and had resolved by Day 3.
- Group 3 (25% w/v): Greasy fur around the cranial region was seen post dose from Day 1 and was still present at termination on Day 4. In addition, wet fur around the cranial region was noted post dose on Days 1 and 2 only.
- No signs of irritation were seen over the dosed area during the study.
- Bodyweight increases were recorded for all mice over the period of the preliminary study.
- Results indicated that 25% w/v was a suitable high dose level for the main study.

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: In the main study, the proliferative response of the lymph node cells (LNC) from the draining auricular lymph nodes was assessed five days following the initial application, by measurement of the incorporation of 3H-methyl Thymidine by beta-scintillation counting of LNC suspensions. The response was expressed as radioactive disintegrations per minute per lymph node (dpm/node) and as the ratio of 3HTdR incorporation into LNC of test nodes relative to that recorded for control nodes (test/control ratio).

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
- Groups of four mice were treated at one of three concentrations of the test substance. The mice were treated by daily application of 25 uL of the appropriate concentration of the test substance to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days (Days 1-3). The test substance was applied to the dorsal surface of each ear using an automatic micropipette. The test substance was spread over the entire dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette. A further group of four mice received the vehicle alone in the same manner.
- A vehicle trial was conducted and identified acetone olive oil (4:1 v/v) as the appropriate vehicle for the main study. This is also the preferred vehicle recommended in the protocol.
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Responses to the positive control substance hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (HCA), in contemporaneous studies demonstrate the reliability and sensitivity of this assay to detect skin sensitization potential in this laboratory.

Parameter:

Remarks on result:
other: see Remark
Remarks:
In this study, the stimulation indexes (test/control ratio) obtained for 10, 25 or 50% v/v HCA were 7.9, 13.5 and 19.8, respectively. This indicates that HCA showed the potential to induce skin sensitization (delayed contact hypersensitivity) and confirms the sensitivity of the technique to detect skin sensitization.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Estimation of the Lymph node proliferation response:

- The test/control ratios obtained for 5, 10 and 25% w/v VRT-753136 hcl were 0.6, 0.5 and 0.6, respectively.

- As a test/control ratio of 3 or more was not recorded for any of the concentrations tested, VRT-753136 hcl is not considered to have the potential to cause skin sensitization (delayed contact hypersensitivity).

Main Study

Mortality and clinical signs:

- There were no deaths and no signs of ill health or toxicity observed during this study.

- No signs of irritation were seen over the dosed area during the study.

- Greasy fur was noted for all control and test animals post-dose from Day 1. This sign had resolved completely in all animals in Groups 1, 2 and 3 by Day 5 and was still present in all animals in Group 4 on Day 6 at study termination. Dose residue was seen post dose in one animal in Group 2 from Day 2, and in the remaining animals in Group 2 on Day 3. In addition, dose residue was also seen post dose from Day 1 in some animals from Groups 3 and 4. This sign had resolved by Day 4 in all animals.

Bodyweight:

- Bodyweight increases were recorded for all mice over the period of the main study.

Conclusions:
VRT-753136 hcl is not regarded as a potential skin sensitizer.
