Additional information

Skin Irritation:

The skin irritation potential for Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)-alpha,alpha-bis(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)- (CAS No: 596-49-6)is estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 The test substance Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)-alpha,alpha-bis(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)- (CAS No: 596-49-6)is estimated to be not irritating to skin of New Zealand White rabbits.

Based on the QSAR prediction done using the Danish (Q)SAR Database, the skin irritation was estimated to be non-skin irritant on rabbits for Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)-alpha,alpha-bis(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)- (CAS No: 596-49-6). Thus it can be concluded that the substance Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)-alpha,alpha-bis(4-(diethylamino)phenyl)- (CAS No: 596-49-6) has negative skin irritation effects.

A skin irritation study was conducted ((Scientific Committee on Cosmetology (seventh series), 1988))in rabbits to observe the irritation potential of the similar substance 129-17-9. 0. 5 ml of a saturated solution of the test chemical in saline was applied to rabbit skin (site not specified) and effects were observed (duration not specified). Hence Patent Blue V (CAS No: 129-17-9) was considered to be not irritating to rabbit skin.

 

The skin irritation test was conducted (SIDS Initial Assessment Report for SIAM 10 N-Isopropyl-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine (IPPD)-OECD SIDS- Tokyo, 15-17 March 2000) on 6 rabbits to assess the irritation potential of the similar substance 101-72-4. In the study, 500 mg of IPPD was applied as a fine powder to the pre-moistened skin of 6 rabbits for 24 hours The animals were maintained for 7days and the scores for erythema and edema recorded at 4, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours after removal of the dressing.

 The scores were zero at all time points for all animals indicating that the test chemical, 4-(Isopropylamino) diphenylamine (CAS No: 101-72-4) is not a skin irritant in this study.

Based on the available information for the target and its read across substances and applying the weight of evidence of approach, Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)-alpha,alpha-bis(4-(diethylamino)phenyl) was not irritating to skin.

Eye Irritation: 

The ocular irritation potential of Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)- alpha, alpha -bis 4-(diethylamino)phenyl - was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.4

Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)- alpha, alpha -bis 4-(diethylamino)phenyl - was estimated to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

An eye irritation study was conducted ((Scientific Committee on Cosmetology (seventh series), 1988)) in rabbits to observe the irritation potential of the similar substance 129-17-9

0.25 ml of a saturated solution of the test chemical in saline was instilled into the eyes of rabbits and effects were observed (duration not specified). Patent Blue V (CAS: 129-17-9) was observed to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

Study was conducted on similar substance 3844-45-9 by S.D. Gettings et al, 1992 to determine their ocular irritation potential.

Ocular irritation was determined according to a modification of the Draize test (Draize, 1959).FD&C Blue 1(CAS: 3844-45-9) was prepared daily as a 3% (w/v) suspension in aqueous vehicle containing 0.5% (w/v) hydroxypropyl methylcellulose and 0.25% (w/v) laureth -10 acetate.

FD&C Blue 1 (3% w/v in aqueous vehicle) was administered once daily, for a total of 21 days, to the conjunctival sac of the right eye of New Zealand White Rabbits (6 of each sex/ group) at a dose volume of 30µl. Control animals (6 of each sex) received 30/µl of the vehicle daily.Ocular irritation was determined according to a modification of the Draize test (Draize, 1959). Interpretation of observations and assignment of scores were consistent with those described by the Consumer Product Safety Commission (1972).All eyes were scored for ocular irritation pretest (8 days, 24 hr and immediately priorto the initial dose) and approximately 24 hr after each treatment, prior to the next instillation of test material; on days 1, 3, 7, 14 and 21, the eyes were also evaluated for irritation 1 hr after treatment. In addition, all readily observable ocular structures were evaluated for eye stain and particle embedment 24 hr after each treatment. All animals survived and were free of significant clinical signs of toxicity throughout the study. Ophthalmoscopic examinations revealed that all animals were free of abnormalities, all animals were free of significant signs of ocular irritation, staining and particle embedment. Thus it was considered that the test substance FD&C Blue 1 (Brilliant Blue FCF) was not irritating to eyes.

Based on the available data for the target as well as its read across chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)- alpha, alpha -bis 4-(diethylamino)phenyl can be considered as not irritating to eyes.

Justification for selection of skin irritation / corrosion endpoint:

data is from OECD QSAR toolbox v3.4

Justification for selection of eye irritation endpoint:

Data is from OECD QSAR toolbox v3.4

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available studies on Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)- alpha, alpha -bis 4-(diethylamino)phenyl indicate that it is not likely to cause any irritation to eye and skin.

Hence, Benzenemethanol, 4-(diethylamino)- alpha, alpha -bis 4-(diethylamino)phenyl can be evaluated as “Non- Irritant” to eyes and skin.
