Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on mild to moderate dermal irritation observed in all dose groups, a NOAEL for local effects could not be established. Based on the grading of dermal effects, the lowest dosage of 0.3% (v/v) is regarded to be a LOAEL.
Executive summary:

Octadecenylamine (oleylamine) was dermally applied on two 5-days periods with intermediate 2-day non dosing-period to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats (Intox Laboratories, 1985). Animals of the control groups received the vehicle only (mineral oil).

Based on the results of a pilot study, groups of young adult rats (4 males and 4 females) were treated dermally with the test substance at concentrations of 0, 0.3, 1.5 and 3.0% (v/v) in mineral oil (corresponding to doses of 0, 12.5, 62.5 and 125 mg/kg bw/d). Rats were treated for two five-day dosing periods with an intermediate two-day non-dosing period in order to more closely reproduce conditions of human exposure to the test substance. The first day of dosing was designated as Day 1. Due to excessive tissue destruction indicated by sloughing, scores of moderate to severe erythema, scabbing, hardening of the skin, and sensitivity to touch, the dosing at the intermediate and high dose levels (1.5 and 3.0%) was discontinued on Day 9. These animals were subsequently sacrificed on Day 10. At initiation of dosing the rats’ body weights ranged from 205.7 to 321.3 g. Rats were acclimated to the laboratory for seven days prior to test substance application. Water and food were provided ad libitum. Approximately 24 hours prior to test substance application, the fur was clipped from the dorsal area of each animal. Shaving was repeated one week later. The test substance was applied at a volume dosage of 5 ml/kg. The application site was covered by a porous gauze dressing that was held in place with tape, and covered with a taped elastic bandage. Each day, wrappings were removed approximately six hours after test substance application and the test sites were washed with warm water to remove excess test substance. Observations of signs of toxicity were made once each day. Body weights were recorded during acclimation, weekly during the study and at sacrifice. Food consumption was recorded weekly during the study. Morbidity/mortality checks were examined prior to test substance administration on days 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and 14 for signs of erythema and necropsies were performed. Animals were killed and discarded three days following the completion of dosing.

All rats survived until scheduled sacrifice. Concentrations of 1.5 and 3.0% produced moderate to severe irritation (erythema scores 2-4), which in some instances progressed to hardening and sloughing of the skin. A number of rats were sensitive to touch. In the 0.3 % group, erythema scores of 1 to 2 were observed, indicating mild to moderate irritation, and flaking of the outer layers of the epidermis was observed. An increased sensitivity in females to the irritant effects of the test substance as compared to males was observed. In the control group, one male showed an erythema score of 1 at one observation. All rats in the 1.5 and 3% groups were sacrificed on day 9 of the study due to the irritant/corrosive effects of the test substance. No other treatment-related irritant effects or clinical signs were observed. A significant treatment-related effect on body weight was observed for males at day 7. Individual group comparisons revealed that body weights in both the 1.5 and 3% groups were significantly lower than controls. Females in the 3.0% group showed a mean weight loss during the first week of the study, although this finding was not significant. Food consumption during the first week of study was reduced significantly in the 1.5% group males when expressed as total food consumed. No significant difference was noted when expressed on a per weight basis. The study provides additional data on the toxicity of repeated dermal dosing, including severe irritation, of this test substance at concentrations of 0.3, 1.5 and 3.0%. A NOAEL for local dermal effects could not be derived, the LOAEL was 0.3% (v/v). No NOAEL for systemic toxicity was derivable because of lack of histomorphology data from other organs and tissues.
