Other findings:
No local effects were reported.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
harmful
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: other: lack of acute (systemic) toxicity; local skin effects (corrosion) was not reported but must be taken into consideration
Conclusions:
The dermal LD50 was >2000 mg/kg bw in the rat.
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity of N,N-dimethylbutylamine (2000 mg/kg bw; free base) was examined in a rat study (5 male and female Sprague Dawley rats) that was conducted according to OECD 402 and under GLP conditions. There were no deaths or clinical signs of toxicity including body weight in any of the rats within the 14-day observation period. Local skin effects were not reported but must be assumed because of the corrosivity of the free base. Thus the dermal LD50 in the rat was >2000 mg/kg bw in this study (Hewitt and Collier,1985).

 

This study is considered to be valid and suitable for assessment.
