Description of key information

1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C12-13-branched-alkyl) ester was tested in a guinea pig maximization test according to OECD Guideline 406.

30 female guinea pigs were used, 10 as control group and 20 were treated with the test material. The test material was dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 100 mg/ml for induction. During the induction phase the test group animals were first treated with 3 double intradermal injections as follows: 1st: Freud's complete adjuvant (FCA) in distilled water (1:1), 2nd: test material in distilled water, 3rd: test material in distilled water and FCA (1:1). The 10 control animals received the same pairs of injections but in the 2nd injection only sesame seed oil was used.

After 7 days of intradermal injections the test material was applied undiluted for a period of 48 hours under an occlusive dressing.The same treatment was used on the 10 control animals using only distilled water.

21 days after the beginning of treatment a challenge phase was performed by applying undiluted test material on the left side, and distilled water on the right side for 24 hours under occlusive dressings for both test group and control group animals.

24, 48 and 72 hours after the beginning of the challenge application the animals were observed for erythema and oedema. No signs of erythema or oedema were observed in any of the animals.

Therefore the test material 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C12-13-branched-alkyl) ester can be considered as non sensitizing.

Executive summary:

1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C12-13-branched-alkyl) ester was tested in a guinea pig maximazation test according to OECD Guideline 406.

30 female guinea pigs were used, 10 as control group and 20 were treated with the test material. The test material was dissolved in distilled water at a concentration of 100 mg/ml for induction. During the induction phase the test group animals were first treated with 3 double intradermal injections as follows: 1st: Freud's complete adjuvant (FCA) in distilled water (1:1), 2nd: test material in distilled water, 3rd: test material in distilled water and FCA (1:1).

After 7 days of intradermal injections the test material was applied undiluted for a period of 48 hours under an occlusive dressing.The same treatment was used on the 10 control animals using only distilled water.

21 days after the beginning of treatment a challenge phase was performed by applying undiluted test material on the left side, and distliled water on the right side for 24 hours under occlusive dressings for both test group and control group animals.

24, 48 and 72 hours after the beginning of the challenge application the animals were observed for erythema and oedema. No signs of erythema or oedema were observed in any of the animals.

Therefore the test material 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C12-13-branched-alkyl) ester can be considered as non sensitizing.

After 7 days of intradermal injections the test material was applied undiluted for a period of 48 hours under an occlusive dressing.The same treatment was used on the 10 control animals using only distilled water.

21 days after the beginning of treatment a challenge phase was performed by applying undiluted test material on the left side, and distliled water on the right side for 24 hours under occlusive dressings for both test group and control group animals.

24, 48 and 72 hours after the beginning of the challenge application the animals were observed for erythema and oedema. No signs of erythema or oedema were observed in any of the animals. Therefore the test material 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tris(C12-13-branched-alkyl) ester can be considered as non sensitizing.

This result was supported with two studies on the analogues 1,2,3-Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2-hydroxy-, tri-C14-15-alkyl esters and Tri (hexyl, octyl, decyl) citrate. Also in these studies were no sensitising effects seen.

The available information demonstrates a lack of skin sensitising properties of the test material 1, 2, 3 -Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2 -hydroxy-, tris (C12 -13 -branched-alkyl) ester.

Short description of key information:
The available information demonstrates a lack of skin sensitising properties of the test material 1, 2, 3 -Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2 -hydroxy-, tris (C12 -13-branched-alkyl) ester.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

Justification for selection of respiratory sensitisation endpoint:
It is unlikely that the substance causes respiratory sensitisation because of the structural properties, the low vapour pressure and the lack of sensitsation in the skin sensitisation studies.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available information demonstrates a lack of skin sensitising properties of the test material 1, 2, 3 -Propanetricarboxylic acid, 2 -hydroxy-, tris (C12 -13 -branched-alkyl) ester. No classification for sensitisation is indicated according to the classification, labeling and packaging (CLP) regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
