Study design: in vivo (LLNA)

Vehicle:
dimethyl sulphoxide
Concentration:
The test substance was evaluated at 3 different concentrations : 50, 5 and 0.5%.
No. of animals per dose:
Five animals per dose group with three concentrations of the test substance.
Details on study design:
Detail on study:
Day 1: 25µl of the tested substance or control substance were applied to the dorsum of both ears.
Days 2 & 3: same procedure performed on day 1.
Days 4 & 5: animals were not treated.
Day 6: 5 hours prior to sacrifice, all animals were injected intravenously with 250µl of Phosphate-Buffered Saline containing 20µlCi methyl-3H-thymidine.
The animals were sacrificied by carbon dioxide inhalation and the draining auricular lymph nodes were excised from each animal.
A single suspension of the lymph node cells from each mouse was prepared by gentle mechanical desegregation.
The cell suspension was centrifuged, resuspended in cold 5% TCA, and allowed precipitate at 4°C for 18 hours.
The cells were precipitated and resuspended in cold 5% TCA.

The proliferation response of lymph node cells is expressed as the number of radioactive disintegrations per minute per mouse (DPM/Mouse) and as the Stimulation Index (SI).
Positive control substance(s):
hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
The Simulation Index of the positive control animals was 6.95.
The positive control , 25% hexyl cinnamic aldehyde, did induce a Simulation Index greater than 3, thus validating the test system.

Any other information on results incl. tables

The 5% and 0.5% solutions of the tested substance in DMSO did not induce a Stimulation Index greater than 3 when compared to the vehicle controls. The tested substance did induce a SI greater than 3 when tested at 50%, resulting a SI of 3.85 and a EC3 value of 35.3% (EC3 was calculated by using the concentration and SI values immediately above and below the threshold SI of 3 on the dos response curve).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (skin sensitising) based on GHS criteria
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
Based on the test protocol and evaluation criteria, the test substance is considered a weak dermal sensitizer.
