Positive control substance(s):

hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Statistics:

Stimulation Indices (SI) were calculated according to the following formula:SI = dpm of treated group / dpm of control groupCellularity and viability of enumerated cells were also determined in each group.Cellularity index (CI) was calculated as follows: CI = Number of viable cells (x10^6)/number of nodes in the treated group / Number of viable cells (x10^6)/number of nodes in the vehicle control group

Results and discussion

Positive control results:

Treatment with 25 % HCA (v/v) in DMF led to 88.66 % cell viability and a SI of 4.97.

Conclusions:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the test item R0034833C (batch No. R0034833C 023 D 001 après 105 jours à 45°C) to induce contact sensitization using the murine Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) according to OECD TG 429 and GLP.Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item R0034833C (batch No. R0034833C 023 D 001 après 105 jours à 45°C) did not induce contact sensitization in the murine Local Lymph Node Assay.

Executive summary:

The aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of the test item Mexoryl SBO (termed R0034833C in the study report, batch No. R0034833C 023 D 001 après 105 jours à 45°C) to induce contact sensitization using the murine Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA) according to OECD TG 429 and GLP.

Twenty-eight female CBA/J mice were allocated to seven groups:

• five treated groups of four animals receiving the test item R0034833C at the concentration of 10, 25, 50, 75 or 100% in dimethylformamide (=DMF),

• one negative control group of four animals receiving the vehicle (= DMF),

• one positive control group of four animals receiving the reference item, α-hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA), a moderate sensitizer, at the concentration of 25% in DMF.

During the induction phase, the test item, vehicle or reference item was applied over the ears (25 μL per ear) for 3 consecutive days (days 1, 2 and 3). After 2 days of resting, the proliferation of lymphocytes in the lymph node draining the application site was measured by incorporation of tritiated methyl thymidine (day 6). The obtained values were used to calculate stimulation indices (SI). The irritant potential of the test item was assessed in parallel by measurement of ear thickness on days 1, 2, 3 and 6.

Neither mortality nor clinical signs were observed during the study. A dryness of the skin of the ears was noted on day 6 in 1/4 animals treated at the concentration of 75%. No noteworthy increase in ear thickness was observed in the animals of the treated groups.

As all acceptance criteria were met, this experiment was therefore considered valid. No noteworthy lymphoproliferation was noted at any of the tested concentrations.

The results are presented in the following table:

Treatment	Concentration	Irritation level (%)	Stimulation Index (SI)
Test item	10	non-irritant	1.41
Test item	25	non-irritant	1.15
Test item	50	non-irritant	1.13
Test item	75	non-irritant	0.62
Test item	100	non-irritant	1.11
HCA	25	-	4.97

Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item R0034833C (batch No. R0034833C 023 D 001 après 105 jours à 45°C) did not induce contact sensitization in the murine Local Lymph Node Assay.
