Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

MAIN STUDY
ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay in the Mouse
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: The test item will be 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. Any test item failing to produce a threefold or greater increase in 3HTdR incorporation will be classified as a "non-sensitizer."

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION: Groups of five mice were treated with the test item at concentrations of 25%, 10% or 5% w/w in propylene glycol. The preliminary screening test suggested that the test item would not produce systemic toxicity or excessive local skin irritation at the highest suitable concentration. 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 (Days 1, 2, 3). 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.
A further group of five mice received the vehicle alone in the same manner.
The positive control animals were similarly treated to the test animals except that 25 μL of the positive control item, Phenylacetaldehyde (>90%), at a concentration of 2.5% v/v in propylene glycol was applied to the dorsal surface of each ear.
Positive control substance(s):
other: Phenylacetaldehyde
Statistics:
Data was processed to give group mean values for disintegrations per minute and standard deviations where appropriate. Individual and group mean disintegrations per minute values were assessed for dose response relationships by analysis of homogeneity of variance followed by one way analysis of variance (ANOVA). In the event of a significant result from the ANOVA, pairwise comparisons were performed between control and treated groups. For homogenous datasets Dunnett’s Multiple Comparison test was used and for non-homogenous datasets Dunnett’s T3 Multiple Comparison Method was used.
Probability values (p) are presented as follows:
P<0.001 ***
P<0.01 **
P<0.05 *
P≥0.05 (not significant)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Phenylacetaldehyde (>90%), gave a Stimulation Index of greater than 3 when tested at a concentration of 2.5% v/v in propylene glycol.

Any other information on results incl. tables

There were no deaths. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted in the test or control animals during the test.

Body weight change of the test animals between Day 1 and Day 6 was comparable to those observed in the corresponding control group animals over the same period.
