Description of key information
The skin sensitization potential of target chemical 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) was assessedin various experimental studies which were conducted on guinea pigs and humans for target chemical2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) and its functionally similar read across substanceAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5)andstructurally similar read across substanceVanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5). The predicted data usingQSAR toolbox and Danish QASR Toolbox databasehas also been compared with the experimental data.Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that chemical 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) is unable to cause skin sensitization and thus can be considered as not sensitizing. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

- Additional information:
Various studieshas been investigated for the test chemical2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) to observe the potential for skin sensitization to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in guinea pigs and humans for target chemical2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) and its functionally similar read across substanceAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5)andstructurally similar read across substanceVanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5).The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;
According to Danish QSAR database , the skin sensitization effects were estimated by using four different models i.e, Battery, Leadscope, SciQSAR and CASE Ultra for 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) . Based on estimation, no skin sensitization reactions were observed in guinea Pig and Human. Therefore, 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) was considered to be not sensitizing.
The skin sensitization potential of 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) was estimated by SSS (2017) using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor. The substance 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) failed to induce skin sanitization effects on guinea pig skin and hence is considered to be not sensitizing to the skin.
The D.W. SHARP {Toxicology, 9 (1978) 261-271} conducted skin sensitization study of read across chemical Anisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5) in 10 Inbred Hartley strain albino the guinea pigs of to determine its sensitization potential according modified Draize sensitization test. The preliminary irritation tests were done in guinea pigs to determine concentrations suitable for sensitization testing [injection challenge concentration (ICC) and application challenge concentration(ACC) ]. In the induction phase,the total dose was administered on one occasion as 4 intradermal injections, each 2.5 times the ICC (2.5X 0.25). Fourteen days later each animal was challenged intradermally in one flank and topically in the other with 0.1 ml aliquots of test substance at the respective ICC and ACC (0.25 and 10 respectively). Twenty-four hours later the reactions were observed. In the absence of sensitization reactions at first challenge the induction and challenge procedures were repeated, and apparent sensitization reactions confirmed 7 days later by a second challenge with controls included. Based upon the second challenge, it can be concluded that the Anisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5) was considered to be non-sensitizing to the skin of albino Hartley guinea pigs at 0.25% ICC and 10% ACC concentrations.
The above results were further supported by the Mouse Local Lymphnode Assay conducted by Gerberick GF {Dermatitis, 2005 Dec; 16(4):157-202} for read across chemical Vanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5) by using the Mouse Local Lymphnode Assay. The LLNA was conducted on groups of CBA mice (7-12 weeks of age) by mean of topical application of chemical on the dorsum of both ears at a dose of 25µl or to an equal volume of relevant vehicle (Acetic acid in olive oil (4:1))only. Treatment was performed daily for 3 consecutive days. Five days after initiation of exposure all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250µl of PBS containing 20µCi of tritiatied thymidine. The mice were sacrificed 5 hours later, and draining the auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each experimental group or each individual animal. The incorporation of tritiated thymidine measured by β-scintillation counting and was reported in disintegrations /minute. An SI was calculated as the ratio of disintegrations/minute of the treated group to the disintegrations/minute of the concurrent vehicle control group. A substance was classified skin sensitizer, if at one or more than one concentrations, it induced a three-fold or greater increase in local lymph node proliferative activity when treated with the concurrent vehicle treated controls (SI ≥3) .The approach to estimation of the relative skin sensitization potential is based on the mathematical estimation of the concentration of chemical necessary to obtain a threshold positive response (SI = 3); this is termed as the EC3 value. The relative potency index of Vanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5) was not calculated but on the basis of classification system it was considered to be >100. Thus the chemical Vanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5) was considered as non-skin sensitizer.
Based on the available data for thetarget2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) and its functionally similar read across substanceAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5)andstructurally similar read across substanceVanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5),it can be concluded thatchemical 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) is unable to cause skin sensitization and considered as non-skin sensitizer.

Justification for classification or non-classification
The skin sensitization potential of test substance 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) and its functionally similar read across substanceAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5)andstructurally similar read across substanceVanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5) were observed in various studies. From the results obtained from these studies it is concluded that the chemical 2-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)ethan-1-amine; 3,4-dimethoxyphenethylamine (CAS No: 120-20-7) is not likely to cause skin sensitization and hence can be classified as non-skin sensitizer.
