Any other information on results incl. tables

Skin irritation and corrosion was tested in a study that was conducted similar to OECD 405 and under GLP conditions. 0.5 mL of DMBA was applied to two clipped skin sites on each of three Newzealand White rabbits. One site was covered for 3 minutes, while the second site covered (occlusive) for one hour. Following each exposure, the test sites were wiped and immediately graded for dermal reactions. Further readings were made at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours and 7 days post treatment. The findings were scored according the table contained in OECD 405.

 

N,N-dimethyl-n-butylamine produced high-grade erythema (score 4) and necrosis at one hour postdose at the three minute and 1-h exposure sites. The dermal responses progressed to eschar at all sites by 24 hours and persisted to test termination on study day 7.  Very slight to moderate swelling (score 1 - 2) was observed at exposure sites during the first 24 hours postdose. This diminished by test termination. Due to the severe effects no further animals were used. Thus, under the conditions of this test, N,N-dimethyl-n-butylamine produced skin corrosion at the three minute and one hour exposure sites (Siglin, 1989).

 

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