Title:
Occupational eczema from N-isopropyl-N' phenylparaphenylenediamine (IPPD) and N-dimethyl-1,3 butyl-N'-phenylparaphenylenediamine (DMPPD) in tyres.
Author:
Herve-Bazin B, Gradiski D, Duprat P, Marignac B, Foussereau J, Chevalier C, Bieber P
Year:
1977

Materials and methods

Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: other: according to Magnusson & Kligman (1969)
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
Published study. The guinea pig maximisation test was conducted in the year 1977 or before (GPMT, Herve, 1977). At this time point a no reliable guideline was available for the conduction of a LLNA.

The authors also noted a cross-sensitization to
N-phenyl-N'-cyclohexyl-p-phenylenediamine (CPPD): 90 % of animals  sensitized to 

IPPD showed cross-sensitization to 0.05 % CPPD in vaseline.  Animals sensitized 

to p-phenylenediamine (PPD) or to  N-dimethyl-1,3butyl-N'-phenyl-paraphenylenediamine (6PPD) showed also cross-sensitization  to IPPD (see table).
