MAIN STUDY

ANIMAL ASSIGNMENT AND TREATMENT
- Name of test method: Local Lymph Node Assay: BrdU-ELISA
- Criteria used to consider a positive response: Based on OECD Guideline 442B, SI of 1.6 or more (≥ 1.6) is considered positive for designating a test sample as a sensitizer. The positive control usually produces a SI of ≥ 1.6.

TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
The test substances were prepared by dissolving the test item in acetone : olive oil (4:1 v/v). Three concentrations 100%, 50% and 25% (v/v) were used in the study.
Negative control substance used in this study was acetone : olive oil (4:1 v/v).
The positive control substance used in the study was Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA) (CAS No 101-86-0). 50% (v/v) HCA in acetone : olive oil (4:1, v/v) was used in the study.

PREPARATION OF BRDU FOR INTRAPERITONEAL INJECTION: 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) (CAS No 59-14-3) was dissolved in 0.9% NaCl saline for injection to a concentration of 10mg/ml, sterilized using a 0.2 µm syringe filtration unit and used for injection freshly.

Administration: Topical application on dorsum of both ears
Dose level: 25 µl for each ear
Dose Interval: Topical application of 25 µl of test substances/negative control/positive control on the dorsum of each ear once a day for 3 consecutive days
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Mean SI of the Positive Control group was 4.097 (>1.6).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
Based on the above study, using 100%, 50% and 25% (v/v) of the test item – Fatty acids, coco, esters with oxybis(propanediol) as test substances and acetone : Olive oil (4:1, v/v) as vehicle and negative control, skin sensitization was produced in mice.
