Skin sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

The potential of the test item (Z)-2,2’-(Octadec-9-enylimino)bisethanol CAS 13127-82-7 to induce delayed contact hypersensitivity was evaluated in guinea pigs according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman and to OECD (No. 406, 17th July 1992) and EC (96/54/EEC, B.6, 30th July 1996) guidelines. The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice Regulations.

Based on preliminary testing, where only a dose of 0.1% of the test substance was well tollerated with acceptable effects at the injection site, this concentration was used for the intradermal induction the test item at the concentration of 0.1% in corn oil (treated group) or vehicle alone (control group), the test item at the concentration of 0.1% in a mixture FCA/0.9% NaCl (50/50, w/w) (treated group) or vehicle at the concentration of 50% (w/v) in a mixture FCA/0.9% NaCl (50/50, v/v) (control group) were administered.

On day 8, the animals of the treated group received a topical application of the test item at the concentration of 10% (w/w) in ethanol/water (80/20) to the same test site, which was then covered by an occlusive dressing for 48 hours. The animals of the control group received an application of the vehicle under the same experimental conditions.

On day 22, all animals of both groups were challenged by a cutaneous application of the test item at the concentration of 1% (w/w) in acetone to the right flank. The test item was maintained under an occlusive dressing for 24 hours. The vehicle was applied to the left flank under the same experimental conditions. Skin reactions were evaluated approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the dressing.

As the doses used were selected based on the criteria in the OECD guideline the study is considered to be valid.

No systemic clinical signs and no deaths were noted during the study. No relevant cutaneous reactions were observed after the challenge application.

Under the experimental conditions and according to the maximization method of Magnusson and Kligman, the test substance (Z)-2,2’-(Octadec-9-enylimino)bisethanol CAS 13127-82-7, does not induce delayed contact hypersensitivity in guinea pigs.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

There are no guidelines for an animal test for respiratory sensitisation, however in general respiratory sensitisers and also skin sensitisers. The lack of any indication of skin sensitisation in the OECD 406 GLP compliant study on (Z)-2,2’-(Octadec-9-enylimino)bisethanol CAS 13127-82-7, indicates that it is unlikely to be a respiratory sensitiser.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The read across substance ((Z)-2,2’-(Octadec-9 -enylimino)bisethanol CAS 13127 -82 -7) was not found to be a skin sensitiser when tested in the OECD 406 study, this indicates that it is unlikely to posses any significant potential for respiratory sensitisationThe physical form of this substance a liquid with a low vapour pressure means inhalation exposure will be minimal. Based on this information the registered substance is not classified as a respiratory sensitiser
