Remarks:

A modified Local Lymph Node Assay (IMDS) was carried out in mice. The modifications refer to the measurement of cell proliferation by cell counting instead of radioactive labeling. In addition, the acute inflammatory skin reaction is determined to discriminate specific from non-specific activation of immune competent cells in the draining lymph nodes, as also recommend in the update of OECD TG 429. 1.

Remarks on result:

other: not applicable

Compared to vehicle-treated animals, there was no increase regarding cell counts and weights of the draining lymph nodes in the substance-treated groups. The "positive level" of index 1,4 for the cell counts has not been reached or exceeded.

The "positive level" of ear swelling, which is 2x 1 0.2 mm increase, i.e. about 10% of the control values, has not been reached or exceeded in any dose group.

Nevertheless a statistically significant increase has been detected after administration of the high concentration of the test item. Although this effect is not corroborated by increase in ear weight an irritant potential cannot fully be excluded.

These results show that there is no indication for a skin sensitizing effect after administration of a concentration up to and including 30 % 3,9-Di-3-cyclohexen-l-yl-2,4,8,10 tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane in this test system.

Interpretation of results:

Executive summary:

The modified Local Lymph Node Assay (IMDS) was performed in 2011 on 24 female NMRI mice of the strain HsdWin:NMRI (6 animals/test item group and 6 control animals) to determine if there is any specific (sensitizing) or non-specific (irritant) stimulating potential of the test item 3,9-Di-3-cyclohexen-1-yl-2,4,8, 10-tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane.

A concurrent control of 6 animals treated with Alpha Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde was included.

The study was conducted according to OECD Guidelines No. 429 and No. 406, EC Guideline 2004173/EC (29th Adaptation of Guideline 67/S48/EEC, B,42)/Health Effects Test Guideline and OPPTS 870.2600 (EPA) with the following test item concentrations:

Test item: 0 % (vehicle control), 3 %, 10 % and 30 %.

Positive control: 30 % Alpha Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde

Compared to vehicle-treated animals, there was no increase regarding cell counts and weights of the draining lymph nodes in the substance-treated groups. The "positive level" of index 1,4 for the cell counts has not been reached or exceeded.

The "positive level" of ear swelling, which is 2x 1 0.2 mm increase, i.e. about 10% of the control values, has not been reached or exceeded in any dose group.

Nevertheless a statistically significant increase has been detected after administration of the high concentration of the test item. Although this effect is not corroborated by increase in ear weight an irritant potential cannot fully be excluded.

These results show that there is no indication for a skin sensitizing effect after administration of a concentration up to and including 30 % 3,9-Di-3-cyclohexen-l-yl-2,4,8,10 tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane in this test system.

In conclusion, these results show that the test item 3,9-Di-3-cyclohexen-l-yl-2,4,8,10 tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane was negative in mice after dermal application of up to and including a 30 % concentration. No indication for a non-specific (irritant) activation was detected, too. Therefore, the concentration of 30 % turned out to be the NOEL for the parameters investigated in this study with respect to skin sensitization.

These results are verified by the comparison with the results of the positive control group (Alpha Hexyl Cinnamic Aldehyde).

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Additional information:

The results of the modified LLNA show that the test item 3,9-Di-3-cyclohexen-l-yl-2,4,8,10 tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane has no sensitizing potential in mice after dermal application of up to and including a 30 % concentration. No indication for a non-specific (irritant) activation was detected, too. Therefore, the concentration of 30 % turned out to be the NOEL for the parameters investigated in this study with respect to skin sensitization.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In the LLNA 3,9-Di-3-cyclohexen-l-yl-2,4,8,10 tetraoxaspiro[5.5]undecane has no sensitizing potential in mice after dermal application of up to and including a 30 % concentration. Therefore a classificationis not justifed.
