Adequacy of study:

key study

Study period:

02 February 2010

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: This study has been performed according to OECD and/or EC guidelines and according to GLP principles. Read accross used from oleyl dipropylene triamine.

Justification for type of information:

(See also Category polyamines in support of Oleyl dipropylenetriamine attached to Ch.13)
For the polyamines, the substance which was considered likely to have the least corrosive properties was selected for an in vivo confirmatory study. As experience (eg. from primary fatty amines, but also indicated by comparing cytotoxicity scores from genotoxicity studies with the various polyamines) indicate that corrosivity diminishes with increasing alkyl chain length, the substance oleyl tripropylene tetramine was selected, as this has the largest alkyl chain.

Amount / concentration applied:

TEST MATERIAL
- Amount(s) applied (volume or weight with unit): 0.5 grams

pH (1% in water, indicative range): 10.2-10.7

Duration of treatment / exposure:

3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours:
The study was initiated by treatment of one rabbit. This animal received of 0.5 grams of the test substance to the intact, clipped skin of one flank using a Metalline patch of 2x3 cm. The patch was mounted on Micropore tape#, which was wrapped around the abdomen and secured with Coban elastic bandage. The dressing was removed 3 minutes after application. Since no signs of severe skin reactions (i.e. necrosis or corrosion) were observed and it was considered that exposure could be continued humanely, two samples of 0.5 grams of the test substance were then applied to separate skin-sites on the intact, clipped skin of the same animal, using an identical procedure and one sample per dressing. One of the dressings was removed after a 1-hour exposure. After similar considerations (i.e. no severe skin reactions, necrosis or corrosion), the other dressing was removed after a 4-hour exposure. Since signs of severe skin reactions (i.e. necrosis) were observed after 4 hours of exposure, the study was immediately terminated, and no further testing was performed.

Observation period:

up to 4 hours after the first application when the single treated animal was sacrificed for ethical reasons.

Number of animals:

1 (based on the severe skin reactions, no further animals were exposed to the test substance)

Details on study design:

TEST SITE
- Area of exposure: 2x3 cm
- Type of wrap if used: Coban elastic bandage

REMOVAL OF TEST SUBSTANCE
- Washing (if done): water and ethanol
- Time after start of exposure: immediately

SCORING SYSTEM:
The skin reactions of all visible treated sites were assessed immediately after removal of a dressing. The irritation scores and a description of all other (local) effects were recorded. Adjacent areas of untreated skin of the animal served as controls.

The irritation was assessed according to the following numerical scoring system. At each observation, the highest scores given were recorded:

Erythema and eschar formation:
No erythema 0
Very slight erythema (barely perceptible) 1
Well-defined erythema 2
Moderate to severe erythema 3
Severe erythema (beef redness) * 4
*. Where signs of necrosis or corrosion (injuries in depth) prevent erythema scoring, the
maximum grade for erythema (= 4) is given.

Oedema formation:
No oedema 0
Very slight oedema (barely perceptible) 1
Slight oedema (edges of area well-defined by definite raising) 2
Moderate oedema (raised approximately 1 millimeter) 3
Severe oedema (raised more than 1 millimeter and extending beyond the area of exposure) 4

Other observations:

Mortality/Viability Twice daily.

Toxicity At least once daily.

Body Weight Day of treatment (prior to application).

Necropsy No necropsy was performed.

A 1-hour exposure resulted in very slight erythema immediately after exposure and in well defined erythema at 3 hours after exposure.

A 4-hour exposure resulted in dark brown discolouration surrounded by grey discolouration at the edge of the application area (sign of necrosis) immediately after exposure.

Other effects:

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Oleyl tripropylenetetramine should be classified as : skin corrosive (Category 1C).

Executive summary:

One rabbit was exposed to three samples of 0.5 grams of Oleyl tripropylenetetramine applied to separate skin-sites on intact, clipped skin using a semi-occlusive dressing. The exposure periods were 3 minutes, 1 hour and 4 hours, respectively. Skin reactions were assessed up to 4 hours after the 3-minute exposure. Based on severe skin reactions, no further animals were exposed to the test substance.

A 3-minute exposure to 0.5 g of Oleyl tripropylenetetramine resulted in very slight erythema at 1 and 4 hours after exposure.

A 1-hour exposure resulted in very slight erythema immediately after exposure and in well defined erythema at 3 hours after exposure.

A 4-hour exposure resulted in dark brown discolouration surrounded by grey discolouration at the edge of the application area (sign of necrosis) immediately after exposure.

Sticky or dry remnants of the test substance were present on the skin after exposure.

The dark brown discolouration surrounded by grey discolouration at the edge of the application area are signs of necrosis. Following this observation, the animal was sacrificed for humane reasons. These severe skin reactions are expected to result in deep and thick scab formation with possible ruptures of the scab, or the scab may drop off exposing scar tissue. Overall, these skin reactions were considered evidence of full thickness destruction of the skin, and hence no further animals were tested.

Based on these results and according to the:

- Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals (GHS) of the United Nations (2007), Oleyl tripropylenetetramine should be classified as : skin corrosive (Category 1C).

- Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 on classification, labeling and packaging of substances and mixtures, Oleyl tripropylenetetramine should be classified as Corrosive (Category 1C) and labeled as H314: Causes severe skin burns and eye damage.
