Details on study design:

RANGE FINDING TESTS: The topical irritancy of a range of dilutions of the test substance was investigated. Based on the results of this study, 1% v/v concentration was chosen for induction and 0.5% v/v concentration was chosen for challenge. The former concentration was the concentration that produced some irritation but did not give rise to adverse effects, while the latter was the maximum concentration not giving rise to irritating effects.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

not sensitising

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of the Buehler study, the test substance was not considered to be sensitising to the skin of guinea-pigs. Therefore, the test substance is not classified as sensitising to skin according to the criteria of EU CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EEC).

Executive summary:

A Buehler test was conducted to assess the contact hypersensitivity or sensitizing potential of N-(3-aminopropyl)-N-dodecylpropane-1,3-diamine in guinea-pigs according to the EU Method B.6 and in compliance with GLP.

Twenty test and ten control animals were used. First the animals were exposed to three topical induction doses (on Days 1, 8, and 15) of 0.5 mL of the 1% v/v test substance (0.3% a.i.) saturated in 20 x 20 mm patch of surgical gauze (3 layers thick). The patch was sealed to the skin under a 5 cm strip of “Blenderm” covered by elastic adhesive bandage (“Elastoplast”) wound around the trunk and sealed with “Sleek”. Contact was maintained for approximately 6 h for each induction exposure and the reactions were noted 24 h after dressing removal. Control animals were treated similarly to test animals with the exception of test substance omission from the induction applications. Two weeks after the final induction the control and test animals were exposed to challenge doses of 0.5 mL of the 0.5% v/v test substance (0.15% a.i.) test substance for 6 h under similar occlusive conditions followed by evaluation after 24 and 48 h. Dermal reactions were scored on a numerical system for oedema and erythema. Evaluations were performed blind (i.e. the scorer had no knowledge of previous scores). The animals were observed daily for clinical signs of toxicity and the bodyweights were recorded on Day 1 (first day of topical application) and on the last day of observations for the challenge.

Localised dermal reactions were observed in 3/10 control animals at the 24-h observation and 1/10 control animals at the 48-h observation, consisting of varying dermal responses of erythema, oedema and dryness and sloughing of the epidermis. 5/20 test animals at the 24-h observation and 4/20 test animals at the 48-h observation exhibited very slight erythema with or without very slight oedema and dryness and sloughing of the epidermis. Two other test animals exhibited dryness and sloughing of the epidermis only, at the 48-h observation. Hence, it was concluded that none of the test animals showed a positive response.

Under the conditions of the Buehler study, the test substance was not considered to be sensitising to the skin of guinea-pigs. Therefore, the test substance is not classified as sensitising to skin according to the criteria of EU CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EEC).
