severely irritating to the eye


Classification: not irritating
Executive summary:

In an eye irritation test on rabbits according to OECD 405, the test substance led to marked inflammatory reactions of the corna, iris and conjunctivae in one animal. Discharge was observed. Corneal and conjunctival signs and discharge did not prove to be reversible within 21 days. No systemic intolerance reactions were recorded. Due to animal welfare reasons no further animals were treated. The test substance was shown to induce severely irritating effects to the eye of rabbits.

Additional information

Desmorapid 01 can be chemically described as ‘butanoic acid, 3-oxo-, methylester, reaction products with N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propanediamine and propylene glycol ether with trimethylol propane (3:1) (CAS-No. 646505-36-4)’ or (different description of the same substance) ‘poly [oxy(methyl-1,2-ethanediyl)] , a -hydro-w -hydroxy-, ether with 2-ethyl-2-(hydroxymethyl)-1,3-propanediol (3:1), 3-[[3-dimethylamino) propyl]imino]butanoate’ (CAS-No. 857285-61-1). The closely related CAS-No. 179733-18-7 describes the same substance and differs only in the manufacturing process where ethanol is distilled off while for the other two CAS-Nos. methanol is distilled off (see IUCLID section 1.1). Thus, toxicological data for all three CAS-Nos. are considered relevant for the substance to be registered and are taken into account for human health assessment.

Skin irritation:

In a GLP compliant skin irritation study performed according to OECD 404 the test substance (CAS-No. 179733 -18 -7) was shown to be an irritant to the rabbit's skin. No relevant systemic intolerance reactions were observed.

Eye irritation:

In an eye irritation test on rabbits according to OECD 405, the test substance (CAS-No. 179733 -18 -7) led to discharge and marked inflammatory reactions of the corna, iris and conjunctivae in one animal which did not prove to be reversible within 21 days. No systemic intolerance reactions were recorded. Due to animal welfare reasons no further animals were treated. The test substance was shown to induce severely irritating effects to the eye of rabbits.

Respiratory tract irritation:

No data are available for respiratory tract irritation. Inhalation of the gaseous substance is unlikely since the vapour pressure of the substance is very low. In case of aerosol contact an irritating potential to the respiratory tract can be assumed, since the substance is classified as severe eye irritant.


Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:
only one study available

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:
only one study available

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: irritating

Effects on eye irritation: highly irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the study results the substance should be classified as skin irritant Category 2 and severe eye irritant Category 1 according to Regulation 1272/2008 EC.
