Decan-5-olide

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Skin Irritation:

A study was designed and conducted to determine the dermal irritation/corrosion potential of the test chemical, Decan-5-Olide (CAS:705 -86 -2) in Newzealand white rabbits. The study was performed as per OECD Guideline 404. The total mean score of skin reaction was 0 at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours respectively post removal of the test patch. There were no clinical signs and no pre-terminal deaths in any of the rabbits. No abnormalities were detected at necropsy.

Hence, it was concluded that the test chemical was Non-Irritating to the skin of Newzealand white rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and classified as “Category- Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.

Eye Irritation:

The acute eye irritation / corrosion study in New Zealand White rabbits was conducted to evaluate the eye irritation / corrosion potential of Decan-5-Olide (CAS:705 -86 -2) in New Zealand White Rabbits" when a single dose of the test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the rabbit’s eye according to OECD 405 guideline. The eyes of each rabbit were examined at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation and scored. The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site)for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were found 0 respectively. There were no clinical signs of toxicity and pre-terminal death, and no abnormality was detected at necropsy.

Thus, it was concluded that the test chemical was not observed to be an ocular irritant and thus under the experimental conditions tested and classified as “Category- Not Classified” as per CLP Classification.

Interpretation of results:

other: Non-irritating

Conclusions:

Based on the present study results, the test item, DECAN-5-OLIDE (CAS: 725-86-2) is “Non-irritant” to the skin when tested in New Zealand White rabbits according to OECD 404 guideline.

Executive summary:

The acute skin irritation / corrosion study in New Zealand White Rabbits was conducted to evaluate the skin irritation potential of Decan-5-Olide according to OECD 404 guidline. Three healthy young adult male rabbits were used for the study. Body weights were recorded on day of treatment (prior to application) and at termination. Rabbits with good intact skin were selected for the study. The fur on the left side of the dorsolateral trunk surface [about 19 x 14 cm] was clipped with an electric clipper, approximately 24 hours prior to treatment. A volume of 0.5 mL of the undiluted test item was applied in between the prepared area of the skin and the cotton gauze of size approximately 6 cm² (2 x 3 cm of 6 ply). A control patch (bare cotton gauze) was applied 3 – 4 cm anterior to the 4-hour test patch. All the patches were secured to the body of the animal by an adhesive tape, and a crepe bandage (except for 3 minutes patch) was wrapped around the torso of the animal. After 4 hours contact period, the treated area was washed with de-ionized water. The study was conducted in a stepwise manner (i.e., one rabbit for the initial test and two rabbits for the confirmatory test). The degree of irritation was evaluated at 1, 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours post removal of the test patch. The total mean score of skin reaction was 0 at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours respectively post removal of the test patch. There were no clinical signs and no pre-terminal deaths in any of the rabbits. No abnormalities were detected at necropsy.Based on the present study results,the test item,Decan-5-Olideis considered as“Non-irritant”to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.

On test day one (treatment day), a volume of 0.1 mL of undiluted test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of the animal after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The lids were then held together gently for about one second to prevent loss of test item. The right eye remained untreated and served as the reference control. All the rabbits were treated in a similar manner. The rabbit used for the single animal test was observed for a period of 5 days and the additional two rabbits were observed for a period of 4 days post-instillation. The eyes of each rabbit were examined examined by using an ophthalmoscope at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours post-instillation and scored. The rabbits were observed for clinical signs and pre-terminal deaths twice daily with a minimum of 6 hours gap between observations on days 2 to 5/4. Body individual weights were recorded at the start of acclimatization, day 1 of treatment (prior to test item instillation) and at the termination of the observation period. The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site)for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were found 0 respectively. There were no clinical signs of toxicity and pre-terminal death, body weights of all rabbits increased during the observation periodand no abnormality was detected at necropsy.Based on the present study results the test itemDecan-5-Olideis“Non - irritant to Eyes”ofthe eye of New Zealand white rabbits.

Additional information

Skin Irritation:

The available data from the skin irritation study is as follows:

The acute skin irritation / corrosion study in New Zealand White Rabbits was conducted to evaluate the skin irritation potential of Decan-5-Olide according to OECD 404 guidline. Three healthy young adult male rabbits were used for the study. Body weights were recorded on day of treatment (prior to application) and at termination. Rabbits with good intact skin were selected for the study. The fur on the left side of the dorsolateral trunk surface [about 19 x 14 cm] was clipped with an electric clipper, approximately 24 hours prior to treatment. A volume of 0.5 mL of the undiluted test item was applied in between the prepared area of the skin and the cotton gauze of size approximately 6 cm² (2 x 3 cm of 6 ply). A control patch (bare cotton gauze) was applied 3 – 4 cm anterior to the 4-hour test patch. All the patches were secured to the body of the animal by an adhesive tape, and a crepe bandage (except for 3 minutes patch) was wrapped around the torso of the animal. After 4 hours contact period, the treated area was washed with de-ionized water. The study was conducted in a stepwise manner (i.e., one rabbit for the initial test and two rabbits for the confirmatory test). The degree of irritation was evaluated at 1, 4, 24, 48 and 72 hours post removal of the test patch. The total mean score of skin reaction was 0 at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours respectively post removal of the test patch. There were no clinical signs and no pre-terminal deaths in any of the rabbits. No abnormalities were detected at necropsy.Based on the present study results,the test item,Decan-5-Olideis considered as“Non-irritant”to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits andis classified as follows: The test item does not meet theclassification criteriaas per as per Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS), 2021, as there were no skin reactions in any of the rabbits.

Eye Irritation Study:

The available data from the eye irritation study is as follows:

The rabbits were observed for clinical signs and pre-terminal deaths twice daily with a minimum of 6 hours gap between observations on days 2 to 5/4. Body individual weights were recorded at the start of acclimatization, day 1 of treatment (prior to test item instillation) and at the termination of the observation period. The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site)for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were found 0 respectively. There were no clinical signs of toxicity and pre-terminal death, body weights of all rabbits increased during the observation periodand no abnormality was detected at necropsy.Based on the present study results the test itemDecan-5-Olideis“Non - irritant to Eyes”ofthe eye of New Zealand white rabbits.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available results the test chemical, Decan-5-Olide (CAS:705 -86 -2) does not have a potential for the skin and eye irritation. Thus the test chemical can be considered to be not irritating to skin and eyes. Hence, the test chemical can be classified under the category "Not Classified" as per CLP Regulation.
