Any other information on results incl. tables
EMCA showed the capacity to sensitize 5 of 20 guinea pigs. On day 49, cross-reaction patterns to the methylester of MCA (MMCA) were studied in four animals. All animals reacted to MMCA (5 %-0.5%).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- sensitising
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- EMCA is concluded to be a sensitizer to humans. Cross reactivity to MMCA may occur.
- Executive summary:
The substance monochloro acetic acid ethyl ester (EMCA) was tested in the Guinea Pig Maximization Test (Magnusson and Kligman) to determine its possible sensitizing potential. EMCA showed the capacity to sensitize 5 of 20 guinea pigs. On day 49, cross-reaction patterns to the methyl ester of MCA (MMCA) were studied in four animals. All animals reacted to MMCA (5%-0.5%). EMCA is concluded to be a sensitizer to humans. Cross reactivity to MMCA may occur.
