One animal with abraded skin showed very slight erythema (grade 1) at the 24 hour time point. After 72 hours no skin reactions were observed in any of the rabbits. - Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- Caprinoguanamine was not irritating to skin. There were no skin effects observed in any animal with intact skin at 24 and 72 hours.
- Executive summary:
In a primary dermal irritation study according to US FHSA Federal regulation: 16 CFR 1500.41 and similar to OECD Guideline 404, adopted 24 April 2002, 6 adult New Zealand white rabbits with intact skin were dermally exposed 24 hours to 0.5 g of Caprinoguanamine on 6.45 cm² skin surface. Animals were then observed for 72 hours. In addition, 6 rabbits with abraded skin were exposed under the same conditions.
Irritation was scored by the method of Draize (J. Pharmacol. 82 (1944) 377-390) and the CIVO-grading system (1973).
There were no skin effects observed in any animal with intact skin at 24 hours. One animal with abraded skin showed very slight erythema (grade 1) at the 24 hour time point. After 72 hours no skin reactions were observed in any of the rabbits. The result of the study is regarded as relevant and reliable although there are protocol deviations from the OECD 404 guideline (longer exposure time, shorter observation time).
In this study, Caprinoguanamine is classified as not irritating to rabbit skin according the criteria of CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).

- 24 hours after Caprinoguanamine had been brought into the eyes very slight corneal opacity and slight iritis in one rabbit and slight conjunctivitis in all six rabbits were observed. In the course of the seven day observation period all lesions recovered completely, so that at the seventh day reading all eyes were normal again.
- Interpretation of results:
- GHS criteria not met
- Conclusions:
- 24 hours after Caprinoguanamine had been brought into the eyes very slight corneal opacity and slight iritis in one rabbit and slight conjunctivitis in all six rabbits were observed. In the course of the seven day observation period all lesions recovered completely, so that at the seventh day reading all eyes were normal again.
- Executive summary:
In a primary eye irritation study similar to OECD guideline 405, 2nd October 2012, 100 mg of Caprinoguanamine was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 6 adult New Zealand white rabbits. Animals then were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the FDA scoring scale. 24 hours after Caprinoguanamine had been brought into the eyes very slight corneal opacity and slight iritis in one rabbit (score 1) and slight conjunctivitis (score 1) in all six rabbits were observed. All lesions were fully reversible within the 7 day observation period.
In this study the mean grades of ocular reactions at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation were lower than the values classified as irritant by the Directive 67/548/EEC as well as GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008.
When administered to the eye, the test article Caprinoguanamine is classified as "non-irritant".

Additional information
Skin:
In a primary dermal irritation study according to US FHSA Federal regulation: 16 CFR 1500.41 and similar to OECD Guideline 404, adopted 24 April 2002, 6 adult New Zealand white rabbits with intact skin were dermally exposed 24 hours to 0.5 g of Caprinoguanamine on 6.45 cm² skin surface. Animals were then observed for 72 hours. In addition, 6 rabbits with abraded skin were exposed under the same conditions.
Irritation was scored by the method of Draize (J. Pharmacol. 82 (1944) 377-390) and the CIVO-grading system (1973).
There were no skin effects observed in any animal with intact skin at 24 hours. One animal with abraded skin showed very slight erythema (grade 1) at the 24 hour time point. After 72 hours no skin reactions were observed in any of the rabbits. The result of the study is regarded as relevant and reliable although there are protocol deviations from the OECD 404 guideline (longer exposure time, shorter observation time).
In this study, Caprinoguanamine is classified as not irritating to rabbit skin according the criteria of CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
Similar results were obtained with the closely related read-across substances Benzoguanamine and Acetoguanamine:
In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD Guideline 404, adopted 12 May, 1981, 3 adult female New Zealand white rabbits with intact skin were dermally exposed 4 hours to 0.5 g of Benzoguanamine on 6 cm² skin surface. Animals were then observed for 72 hours.
None of the animals showed any response to treatment throughout the observation period
In this study, Benzoguanamine is classified as not irritating to rabbit skin according the criteria of CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
In a primary dermal irritation study according to OECD Guideline 404, adopted 12 May, 1981, 3 adult female New Zealand white rabbits with intact skin were dermally exposed 4 hours to 0.5 g of Acetoguanamine on 6.25 cm² skin surface. Animals were then observed for 4 days.
None of the animals showed any response to treatment throughout the observation period
In this study, Acetoguanamine is classified as not irritating to rabbit skin according the criteria of CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
Eye:
In a primary eye irritation study similar to OECD guideline 405, 2nd October 2012, 100 mg of Caprinoguanamine was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 6 adult New Zealand white rabbits. Animals then were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored by the FDA scoring scale. 24 hours after Caprinoguanamine had been brought into the eyes very slight corneal opacity and slight iritis in one rabbit (score 1) and slight conjunctivitis (score 1) in all six rabbits were observed. All lesions were fully reversible within the 7 day observation period.
In this study the mean grades of ocular reactions at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation were lower than the values classified as irritant by the Directive 67/548/EEC as well as GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008.
When administered to the eye, the test article Caprinoguanamine is classified as "non-irritant".
Similar results were obtained with the closely related read-across substances Benzoguanamine and Acetoguanamine:
In a primary eye irritation study according to EU method B.5, 94 mg of Benzoguanamine was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 3 adult New Zealand White rabbits. Animals then were observed for 72 hours.
No adverse effects on the cornea and the iris were observed in any of the rabbits during the entire observation period. Approx. 60 minutes after exposure slight chemosis in two animals were observed which resolved within 24 hours.
In this study the mean grades of ocular reactions at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation were lower than the values classified as irritant by the Directive 67/548/EEC as well as GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008.
When administered to the eye, the test article Benzoguanamine is classified as "non-irritant”.
In a primary eye irritation study according to OECD guideline 405, 85 mg of Acetoguanamine was instilled into the conjunctival sac of 3 adult New Zealand White rabbits. Animals then were observed for 7 days. Irritation was scored and it was determined that Acetoguanamine elicites only transient, corneal opacification and temporary well-defined conjuctival reactions.
In this study the mean grades of ocular reactions at 24, 48 and 72 h after instillation were lower than the values classified as irritant by the Directive 67/548/EEC as well as GHS Regulation EC No 1272/2008.
When administered to the eye, the test article Acetoguanamine is classified as "non-irritant”.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on data from a study similar to OECD Guideline 404, Caprinoguanamine is classified as not irritating to rabbit skin according the criteria of CLP, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
Mean scores of ocular reactions at 24, 48 and 72 h observed in a primary eye irritation study similar to OECD guideline 405 with Caprinoguanamine indicate that the substance does not need to be classified for eye irritation as well, based on CLP criteria, EU GHS (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).
