RANGE FINDING TESTS:
-Intradermal injections: (2 guinea pigs used) 0.1, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0% of test substance in corn oil and 0.1, 1.0, 3.0 and 5.0% of test substance in Freunds complete adjuvant (FCA): water (1:1)
-Topical application: (2 guinea pigs used) 100% test substance

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- intradermal induction (day 0): Hair was removed from th shoulder area of each guinea pig and 3 pairs of intradermal injections were made, each pair flanking the dorsal midline. For the test group, the three pairs of intradermal injections were as follows:
(1) 0.1 mL of a 5% preparation of the test material in corn oil (concentration determined in primary irritation screen)
(2) 0.1 mL of the FCA emulsion
(3) 0.1 mL of a 5% preparation of the test material in FCA emulsion (concentration determined in primary irritation screen)
For the control group, the three pairs of intradermal injections were as follows:
(1) 0.1 mL of corn oil
(2) 0.1 mL of the FCA Emulsion
(3) 0.1 mL of corn oil in FCA Emulsion (1:1)

- local irritation (day 6): Hair was removed from the shoulder area and application site of all animals (treated and control) painted with approximately 0.5 mL 10% sodium lauryl sulphate in petrolateum.

- topical induction (day 7): For the treated animals, a single application of 2.0-2.5 g of the neat test substance was applied to a 2.5 x 2.5 cm patch which was then placed onto the application site and held in place using an elastic bandage, for 48 hours. Controls were treated in an identical manner except that the patch was loaded with water.

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
Hair was removed from an area (approximately 3.75 x 3.75 cm) on both flanks of all animals. A fully loaded patch (approximately 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm) with 100% test material was applied to the left flank of each animal (treated and control). A fully loaded patch (water only) was applied to the right flank of each animal. The patches were secured with elastic bandage wrapped around the torso. The patches were left in place for 24 hours. Approximately 24 and 48 hours after removal of the patches dermal erythema reactions were assessed using a 0-3 scale.
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2-Mercaptobenzothiazole (CAS No. 149-30-4)

Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

In test animals, following challange at 100%, mild (grade 1) to moderate (grade 2) redness was seen in 14/20 sites at the 24 hour reading and in 15/20 sites at the 48 hour reading. No dermal responses were evident at the control sites for the 20 test animals previously induced with the test material or at either the test site or the control site for the 10 control animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
sensitising
Remarks:
Migrated information
Conclusions:
N,N-dibutyldodecanamide was a sensitiser to guinea pig skin.
Executive summary:

N,N-dibutyldodecanamide was assessed for its skin sensitisation potential using the guinea pig maximisation test. 15 out of 20 guinea pigs, previously induced with N,N-dibutyldodecanamide elicited a dermal response 24 and/or 48 hours after challenge. There was no dermal response in any of the control animals. The net response was, therefore, 75% and N,N-dibutyldodecanamide is considered to be a skin sensitiser to the guinea pig.
