Conclusions:

The skin sensitization property of the registration substance Tetrapropylene succinic acid monoisobutylester is derived based on the read across to Salt of an alkenyl succinic acid derivative and Pentapropylensuccinic anhydride, reaction products with ethanolamine , sodium and triethanolamine salts. No Skin snesitizing property can be reliably derived.

Executive summary:

The skin sensitization property of the registration substance Tetrapropylene succinic acid monoisobutylester is derived based on the read across to Salt of an alkenyl succinic acid derivative and Pentapropylensuccinic anhydride, reaction products with ethanolamine, sodium and triethanolamine salts.

Due to structural chemical similarites and the metabolic considerations, the skin sensitization property of the target chemical is likely to be comparable to the source chemicals.

No skin snesitizing property can be reliably derived.

Three pairs of intradermal injections of 0.1 mL volume were given in the shoulder region which was cleared of hair by clipping so that one of each pair lies on each side of the midline.
Test Group: Day 0
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 2: a 1% concentration of the test item in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 3: a 1% concentration of the test item formulated in a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Control Group: Day 0
Injection 1: a 1:1 mixture (v/v) FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 2: 100% physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injection 3: a 50% (v/v) formulation of 0.9% NaCl in a 1:1 (v/v) mixture FCA/physiological saline 0.9% NaCl
Injections 1 and 2 were given close to each other and nearest to the head, while injection 3 was given toward the caudal part of the test area.

Induction: Second Stage, Topical Application
Test Group and Control Group: Day 6
Approximately twenty-four hours before the topical application the test area was painted with 0.5 g of 10% sodium lauryl sulphate
in vaseline after close clipping in order to create a local irritation.
Test Group: Day 7
The test item was dissolved in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl at a concentration of 50%. A patch was fully loaded with 0.5 mL of the
prepared test item. Then it was applied to the test area and held in contact with the help of an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.
Control Group: Day 7
A patch was fully loaded with 0.5 mL of physiological saline 0.9% NaCl. Then it was applied to the test area and held in contact with
the help of an occlusive dressing for 48 hours.

Challenge controls:

The flanks of treated and control animals were cleared of hair by close-clipping.
Test Group and Control Group: Day 20
The test item was dissolved in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl at a concentration of 12.5%. A patch, loaded with 0.5 mL
of the prepared test item was applied to the left flank of the animals and a patch loaded with 0.5 mL of the vehicle to the right flank
(intraspecific control). The patches were held in contact with the help of an occlusive dressing for 24 hours.
The application area was not rinsed.

Observation
Test Group and Control Group
Approximately 20 hours after removing the patch, the challenge area was cleared of hair by the use of a depilatory cream.
Approximately 24 and 48 hours after removing the patch the skin reaction was observed and recorded according to the grades shown below.
Additionally all animals were observed for signs of toxicity at least once daily during the test period.

Preliminary Test

1 animal was treated intradermally with concentrations of 1%, 1.5%, 2.5% and 5% of the test item (dissolved in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl).

1 animal was treated topically with concentrations of 50% (emulsified with vaseline)and 100% (undiluted) of the test itemfor 24 hours.

1 animal was treated topically with concentrations of 50% (emulsified with vaseline)and 100% (undiluted) of the test itemfor 48 hours.

1 animal was treated topically with concentrations of 12.5%, 25% (two application sites) and 50% of the test item (dissolved in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl)for 24 hours.

1 animal was treated topically with concentrations of 12.5%, 25% (two application sites) and 50% of the test item (dissolved in physiological saline 0.9% NaCl)for 48 hours.

Based on the results of this preliminary test, a concentration of 1% was chosen for the intradermal application of the main test and a concentration

of 50% was selected for the dermal induction. These concentrations caused slight signs of irritation, without leading to systemic effects.

A concentration of 12.5% was found to be the highest dose which did not cause any signs of irritation after a topical treatment over a period

of 24 hours and therefore was chosen for the challenge application in the main test.

Main Test

Signs of irritation during the induction:

Intradermal Induction I (24-hour reading):

Injection site 1:  erythema grade 1 in 5/5 control and 10/10 test animals, oedema grade 1 in 5/5 control and 10/10 test animals.

Injection site 2: erythema grade 1, oedema grade 1 and eschar in 10/10 test animals.

Injection site 3:erythema grade 1 in 5/5 control and 10/10 test animals, oedema grade 1 in 5/5 control and 10/10 test animals.

Intradermal Induction I (48-hour reading):

Injection site 1:erythema grade 1 in 5/5 control and 10/10 test animals, oedema grade 1 in 5/5 control and 10/10 test animals.

Injection site 2: erythema grade 1, oedema grade 1 and eschar in 10/10 test animals.

Injection site 3: erythema grade 1 in 5/5 control and 10/10 test animals, oedema grade 1 in 5/5 control and 10/10 test animals.

Immediately after

removing the patch:     no signs of irritation in any of the test or control animals.

24 hours after

removing the patch:     no signs of irritation in any of the test or control animals.

Challenge Exposure (24-hour exposure, occlusive):

Neither erythema nor oedema was observed in any animal at any time of observation.

There was no evidence of sensitisation and the percentage of sensitised animals was 0%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The skin sensitization potential was investigated according to the OECD Guideline 406. No significant skin sensitization potential was found. No classification is warranted.

Executive summary:

The skin sensitization potential of Pentapropylensuccinic anhydride, reaction products with ethanolamine, sodium and triethanolamine salts was investigated according to the OECD Guideline 406. No significant skin sensitization potential was found. No classification is warranted. The induction doses were 1 % and 50% for intradermal and epidermal respectively. The challenge was performed at the concentration of 12.5%. None of the treated 10 animals responded upon challenge. Based on the obtained result, Pentapropylensuccinic anhydride, reaction products with ethanolamine, sodium and triethanolamine salts is considered to be a non skin sensitizer.
