Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The LD50 value (dermal) of 1,3,3 -Trimethyl-N-(2 -methylpropylidene)-5 -[(2 -methylpropylidene)amino]cyclohexanemethylamine in female and male rats was estimated to be > 5000 mg/kg bw. No mortalities were observed. Therefore, under the conditions employed in this study the substance is of low dermal acute toxicity.
Executive summary:

1,3,3 -Trimethyl-N-(2 -methylpropylidene)-5 -[(2 -methylpropylidene)amino]cyclohexanemethylamine is of low dermal acute toxicity with a dermal LD50of > 5000 mg/kg bw (OECD 402, Hüls AG, 1985).

For the dermal acute toxicity study no mortalities up to a dose of 5000 mg/kg bw were observed. Clinical signs immediately after treatment were vehement defense reactions, uttering sounds, both attributed to fixation of the patch. At 1 hour the following observations were made: ruffled fur, streched posture, temporary prone position or retarded motion, staggering gait, hypothermia and slight sedation. In the application area necrosis, incrustation of application area, wounds partly with discharge, and formation of scars were observed.

Necropsy findings were Hyperemia of the small intestinal mucosa and in one animal formation of flecks on the kidneys. The body weight was transiently inhibited.

Dermal exposure has to be avoided because of sensitizing properties.
