H-24335: Local Lymph Node Assay (LLNA)

SUMMARY
The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of H-24335 to produce a dermal sensitization response in mice using the local lymph node assay (LLNA). Six groups of female CBA/JHsd mice were dosed for 3 days with 0 (vehicle), 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, or 100% H-24335 on the dorsal side o f both ears. Dimethylsulfoxide was used as the diluting vehicle. A seventh group of 6 female mice was dosed for 3 days with 25% Hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA) as a positive control. On test day 5 of the assay, mice received 3-H-Thymidine by tail vein injection and were sacrificed 5 hours later. The cell proliferation in the draining auricular lymph nodes of the ears was then evaluated and compared to control.
There were no clinical signs of toxicity observed in the study. There were no statistically significant differences in mean body weights and mean body weight gains between the vehicle control group and any test substance group.
No statistically significant differences were seen in cell proliferation measurements at any test concentration. Stimulation indexes were less than 3.0 at all concentrations.
A 25% concentration of the positive control, HCA, produced a positive dermal sensitization response in mice. Therefore, the LLNA test system was valid for this study with H-24335. Under the conditions of this study, H-24335 did not produce a positive dermal sensitization response in mice.

INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this study was to examine the dermal sensitization potential of H-24335 using the local lymph node assay (LLNA). Following the topical application of the test article to the dorsal side of both ears, the dermal sensitization potential of the test article was evaluated by measuring the proliferation of lymphocytes (via radiolabel uptake) obtained from the auricular lymph nodes (i.e., the lymph nodes that drain the ears). Because H-24335 is a iH H fL n d did not appear to have severe skin irritating capability (pH ~4-5), the 100% concentranoi^as used as the high dose. For subsequent dilutions, the test article was found to be soluble in dimethlysulfoxide (DMSO).
MATERIALS AND METHODS
A. Test Species
The Local Lymph Node Assay with H-24335 was conducted in female CBA/JHsd mice.
On March 16, 2000, 48 female mice, with an assigned birth date of January 28,2000, were received from Harlan Sprague Dawley, Fredrick, Maryland.
The CBA/JHsd mouse was selected to conduct the LLNA because Haskell Laboratory has an extensive database with this strain. Furthermore, the strain has undergone extensive interlaboratory validation with the LLNA.(1'3)
B. Body Weight Measurements
All mice were weighed on test day 0 and prior to sacrifice on test day 5.
C. Test Substance
The test substance, H-24335, was supplied by the sponsor a s ; m r h e test substance was vortex to mix before each amount for dosing was removed, t he test substance appeared to be stable under the conditions of the study. No evidence of instability, such as a change in color or physical state, was observed.
D. Clinical O bservations
Cage-site examinations to detect moribund or dead mice and abnormal behavior and appearance among mice were conducted at least once daily throughout the study. At every weighing, each mouse was individually handled and examined for abnormal behavior and appearance.

E. Local Lymph Node Assay
The test substance was prepared as a solution in DMSO except the 100% concentration. Twenty-five /I of H-24335 was administered topically to the dorsum of each ear o f mice (6 per group) for 3 consecutive days (test days 0-2) at dosages of 0% (DMSO vehicle), 5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, and 100%. One group of 6 female mice was dosed with 25% hexylcinnamaldehyde (HCA) as a positive control. Test days 3-4 were days of rest followed by intravenous injection of 20/tCi of 3H-Thymidine per mouse on the morning of test day 5. One mouse in the 10% concentration group was not properly injected with the appropriate amount of 3H-Thymidine and was excluded from study. Approximately 5 hours later, animals were sacrificed, draining auricular lymph nodes were removed, and single cell suspensions were prepared. The single cell suspensions were then incubated at 2-8C overnight. Disintegrations per minute (dpm) data were obtained on test day 6 by counting the single cell suspensions on a beta counter.
A stimulation index (SI) was derived for each experimental group by dividing the mean dpm of the experimental group by the mean dpm of the vehicle control group. Statistical significance in the test article groups compared to control and/or Sis of greater than or equal to 3.0 indicated a positive response.
F. Statistical Analyses Significance was judged at p < 0.05 except for dpm data which was judged at p <0.01.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
A. Clinical Signs of Toxicity, Body Weights, and Body W eight Gains (Tables 1-2)
There were no clinical signs of toxicity observed in the study. There were no statistically significant differences in mean body weights and mean body weight gains between the vehicle control group and any test substance group.
B. Stimulation Index Data (Table 3)
No statistically significant differences were seen in cell proliferation measurements at any test concentration. Stimulation indexes were less than 3.0 at all concentrations of H-24335.
CONCLUSIONS A 25% concentration of HCA produced a positive dermal response in mice. Therefore, the LLNA test system was valid for this study with H-24335. Under the conditions of this study, H-24335 did not produce a positive dermal sensitization response in mice.
