- Conclusions:
- The substance did not demonstrate dermal sensitisaton potential in the local lymph node assay.
- Executive summary:
The substance was tested for skin sensitisation according to OECD guideline 429 (LLNA).
A preliminary study was conducted to identify the appropriate test concentrations for the main study (10,25,50 and 75% in propylene glycol).Based on the results from the preliminary assay, foive groups of mice (each comprising 5 females)were selected for the experiment. Three groups were treated with the substance at concentrations of 25, 50 and 75% (w/v) in propylene glycol for three consecutive days (days 0,1 and 2) on the dorsum of both ears (25 µL per ear). One group served as vehicle control and was treated with propylene glycol and another group served as positive control and was treated with HCA (alpha-hexylcinnamaldehyde) at a concentration oof 25%.
Group mean body weights of the treated animals were comparable with the control group and there were no indications of clinical or systemical toxicity in the treated animals.
On day 5, the uptake of 3H-methyl thymidine into the auricular (local) lymph nodes draining at the site of chemical application was measured (5 hours post administration) to assess the lymph node proliferative response.
A positive response for HCA (SI=5.71) confirmed the reliability of the test procedure. Stimulation indices for 25, 50 and 75% in propylene glycol treated groups were 1.12, 1.90 and 1.99 respectively. The SI obtained for the substance at all tested concentrations showed less than three fold increase over the control value.
