- PRE-SCREEN TESTS:
Test substance (prepared as w/w mixtures in 1% Pluronic® L92) concentrations of 25%, 50% and 100% were tested to determine the overt systemic toxicity or excessive local irritation. Each group consisted of two mice. The ears of each mouse were evaluated for erythema and edema pre-dose on Day 1, 2, 3, and 6. 25 uL of the appropriate concentration of the test substance or the vehicle alone was applied to the dorsum of both ears of each mouse for three consecutive days. No treatment was made on Days 4 and 5. On Day 6, the sites for each mouse were evaluated for local reactions (erythema & edema). Animals were observed daily for signs of toxicity.
MAIN STUDY
- Criteria used to consider a positive response:
The mean and standard deviation of the dpm values were calculated for each dose group. A stimulation index (SI) was derived for each experimental group by dividing the mean dpm of each experimental group by the mean dpm of the vehicle control group. Any test substance that produces an SI > 3 in the LLNA is normally considered “positive” for dermal sensitization potential. The EC3 value was not calculated since all dose levels induced a stimulation index of less than 3.0.
TREATMENT PREPARATION AND ADMINISTRATION:
Concentrations of 10%, 25% and 50% were selected for the main test based on results of the preliminary screening test. Dilutions of the test substance were prepared as w/w mixtures in 1% Pluronic® L92. The vehicle control, 1% Pluronic® L92, and a single concentration of a 25% w/w mixture of HCA (positive control) in 1% Pluronic® L92 were also prepared. All dosage preparations were freshly prepared on the day of application.
Beginning on Day 1, a quantity of 25 uL of the appropriate test substance concentration, the positive control substance, or the vehicle alone was applied to the dorsum of both ears of each mouse once per day for three consecutive days (Days 1, 2, and 3) using a micropipette. During application, the material was gently spread as evenly as possible over the dorsal surface of the ear using the tip of the pipette. - Positive control substance(s):
- hexyl cinnamic aldehyde (CAS No 101-86-0)
- Statistics:
- Statistical analysis was performed on the DPM minus background values. Significance was judged at p < 0.05. The treated groups and negative vehicle control group were compared using a One-Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by comparison of the treated groups to control by Dunnett’s t-test for multiple comparisons. Where variances are considered significantly different by Bartlett’s test, groups were compared using a non-parametric method (Kruskal-Wallis non parametric analysis of variance followed by Dunn’s test) (INSTAT Biostatistics, Graph Pad Software, San Diego, CA). Outlier analysis was conducted using Grubbs (1969).
Results and discussion
- Positive control results:
- The positive control (HCA) at 25% produced a dermal sensitization response in mice (SI = 5.75). Therefore, the LLNA test system was valid for this study with Dihydronepetalactone.
Very slight erythema (score of 1) was evident at six positive control sites on Day 2, at all sites on Day 3 and at eight sites on Day 6. Slight edema (score of 1) was present at three sites on Day 3.

Any other information on results incl. tables
All animals appeared active and healthy throughout the study. Three mice from the test groups, two from the vehicle control group and three from the positive control group lost body weight during the study. All other mice gained body weight during the study.
No dermal irritation was observed for any of the test group sites in any dose groups.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Based on these findings and on the evaluation system used, Dihydronepetalactone is not
considered to be a contact dermal sensitizer at concentrations less than or equal to 50% in the
LLNA.
Proper conduct of the LLNA was confirmed via a positive response with 25% HCA, a moderate
contact sensitizer. - Executive summary:
A dermal sensitization test was conducted with mice to determine the potential for Dihydronepetalactone to produce sensitization after repeated topical applications.
Three concentrations of the test substance (10%, 25% and 50%) in 1% Pluronic® L92 Surfactant w/w in distilled water (1% Pluronic® L92) were topically applied to fifteen healthy test mice (five mice/group) for three consecutive days. Three days after the last application, the mice were given an IV injection containing 20 iiCi of 3H-methyl thymidine. Approximately five hours later, all animals were euthanized via an overdose of inhaled Isoflurane and the draining (auricular) lymph nodes were harvested and prepared for analysis in a scintillation counter. The results are presented in disintegrations per minute per mouse (dpm/mouse). Each animal’s ears were also evaluated for erythema and edema prior to each application and again on Day 6, prior to the IV injection.
A vehicle control group (five animals) and a positive control group (five animals) were maintained under the same environmental conditions and treated in the same manner as the test animals. The vehicle control animals were treated with 1% Pluronic® L92 and the positive control group animals were treated with a 25% w/w mixture of RCA in 1% Pluronic® L92. In an effort to reduce the total number of animals used, this study was run concurrently with another study to utilize a common positive control and common vehicle control group.
Treatment of mice with 10%, 25% and 50% of Dihydronepetalactone resulted in stimulation index values of 2.04, 1.16, and 1.77, respectively. As a stimulation index (SI) of less than 3.0 was observed in all the treatment groups, the test substance was not considered positive for a dermal sensitization potential. The positive control (HCA) at 25% produced a dermal sensitization response in mice (SI 5.75). Therefore, the LLNA test system was valid for this study with Dihydronepetalactone. Based on the results of this study, the test substance is not considered to be a contact dermal sensitizer at concentrations less than or equal to 50% in the LLNA.
