Diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Skin irritation

In a dermal irritation study conducted according to OECD 404 guideline in compliance with GLP, one healthy adult rabbit of the Whiter Russian strain was exposed to 0.5 ml of DIHP, diisopropylbenze hydroperoxide at 55% in diisopropylbenzene, at one skin site on the back (Murmann, 1989). Test site was covered with a dressing held in place for 4 hours, 1 hour and 3 minutes. The skin reactions were assessed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 6 days after dressing removal. Application of DIHP resulted in erythema and oedema after 1h and 4h application time. This could be observed after 1h observation period at a sore of 4/4 for both erythema and oedema and could still be observed at this same score after 6 days of observation. Additionally, necrosis could be observed over the 6 days too. After an exposure time of 3 min, no necrosis was observed.

SCORING SYSTEM: according to OECD guideline 404

Irritation parameter:

erythema score

Remarks:

4-h exposure

Basis:

animal #1

Time point:

24/48/72 h

Score:

4

Max. score:

4

Reversibility:

not reversible

Irritation parameter:

edema score

Remarks:

4-h exposure

Basis:

animal #1

Time point:

24/48/72 h

Score:

4

Max. score:

4

Reversibility:

not reversible

Irritant / corrosive response data:

Right after the patch removing following the 4 h exposure, signs of necrose could be observed, parchementy-like effect at 24h and 48h, and dark-brown scrab after 72h and 6d.
After a period of 1Hr, necrosis also occurred but not after an exposure time of 3 Min

Other effects:

no other effects were observed.

no additionnal data

Interpretation of results:

Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the test, the test substance would be classified as corrosive category 1B according to the criteria of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008).

Executive summary:

Application of DIHP resulted in erythema and oedema after 1h and 4h application time. This could be observed after 1h observation period at a sore of 4/4 for both erythema and oedema and could still be observed at this same score after 6 days observation. Additionnally, necrosis could be observed over the 6 days too. After an exposure time of 3 min, no necrosis was observed.
