- Humidity (%): 30-70%
- Air changes (per hr): 15 per hour
- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): 12 hour cycles


Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
other: Ethanol/Distilled water 7:3
Concentration:
Groups of four mice were treated with the undiluted test item or the test item at concentrations of 50% or 25% v/v in ethanol/distilled water 7:3.
No. of animals per dose:
Four
Details on study design:
PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
- Compound solubility:
- Irritation/Systemic toxicity: The preliminary screening test suggested that the test item would not produce systemic toxicity or excessive local skin irritation at the highest suitable concentration.
- Ear thickness measurements: The thickness of each ear was measured using a Mitutoyo 547-300S gauge (MitutoyoCorporation), pre-dose on Day 1, post dose on Day 3 and on Day 6. Any changes in the earthickness were noted. Mean ear thickness changes were calculated between time periods Days 1 and 3 and Days 1 and 6. A mean ear thickness increase of equal to or greater than 25% was considered to indicate excessive irritation and limited biological relevance to the endpoint of sensitization.

MAIN STUDY

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The test item is regarded as a sensitizer if at least one concentration of the test item results in a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation compared to control values

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:

The mice were treated by daily application of 25 μL of the appropriate concentration of the test item to the dorsal surface of each ear for three consecutive days. The test item formulation was administered using an automatic micropipette and spread over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette. Five days following the first topical application of the test item or vehicle (Day 6) all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250 μL of phosphate buffered saline (PBS) containing 3H-methylthymidine.

Cellular proliferation data / Observations:
Sticky, dark brown colored residual test item on the ears was noted in all test animals post dose on Days 1 to 3. Fur loss was noted post dose on Days 1 to 3 and on Days 4 to 6, in animals treated with the undiluted test item or the test item at a concentration of 50% v/v in ethanol/distilled water 7:3.
There were no deaths. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted in the test or control animals during the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
The results were positive for skin sensitisation in all tested concentrations.
Executive summary:

The test item was considered to be a sensitizer (category 1) under the conditions of the test.
