Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C15-16-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with 1-aminopropane-2-ol

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

The key study determined the potential of the read-across source substance (Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with 1-aminopropane-2-ol) to be sensitizing to skin. In a dermal sensitization study ten young adult Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigs were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligmann according to OECD 406. In this study, the read across substance was not a dermal sensitizer.

Interpretation of results:

GHS criteria not met

Conclusions:

In view of this results, MARLON AMI 80 and hence,benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with isopropanolamine (1:1) are not a dermal sensitizers.

Executive summary:

In a dermal sensitization study with MARLON AMI 80 (78% benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with isopropanolamine (1:1) in 22% 1,2-propylene glycol).Ten young adult Dunkin-Hartley guinea pigswere tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligmann according to OECD 406.α-Hexylcinnamaldehyde was used as apositive control material. No cutaneous reaction attributable to allergy was recorded in animals from the treated group after the challenge phase, with the test item at 1% and 0.5%. No cutaneous intolerance reaction was recorded in animals from the negative control group after thechallenge phase, on the treated area with the test item at 1% and 0.5%. 

In this study, MARLON AMI 80 and hence,benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with isopropanolamine (1:1) is not a dermal sensitizer.

Endpoint conclusion

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)

Additional information:

The key study determined the potential of the read-across source substance (Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with 1-aminopropane-2-ol) to be sensitizing to skin. In the study the read across substance was not a dermal sensitizer.

In a supporting study, a group of 10 male and 10 female guinea pigs were used to determine the potential of the read across substance Benzenesulfonic acid, C10-13-alkyl derivs., sodium salts to be sensitising to skin. The animals were first given an intradermal induction of 0.05% of test substance in corn oil. One week later, they were given a dermal induction of 5% test substance in corn oil. A group of 5 male and 5 female guinea pigs were used as controls. These animals were treated in a similar fashion with vehicle only. Two weeks after the dermal induction, a challenge was performed via dermal exposure to 2.5% test substance in corn oil. The control group was exposed as well. The animals were exposed for 24 hrs. Skin irritation readings were made at 24 and 48 hrs after the end of exposure. No positive responses were seen in either the test or control group. The second read-across substance also was not sensitising to skin.
