Pilot Experiment:

The intradermal application of the 5 %, 3.5 % and 2 % (w/w) solutions of the test substance in vehicle showed a strong skin reaction and moderate skin reaction was observed with the 0.5 % and 0.1 % (w/w) concentration. Slight skin reaction was observed with the 0.05 % (w/w) concentration. Dermal application of the 100 %, 75 %, 50 % and 25 % (w/w) concentration of the test substance in vehicle without Duhring Chambers led to necrosis of the treated skin sites. The test substance preparation of 5 % (w/w) concentration showed a very slight reaction. Application of the 1 %, 0.5 % and 0.1 % (w/w) concentration in vehicle showed no reaction on the skin. Two animals of the pilot experiment have been sacrificed by an overdose of a narcotic substance shortly after observation of the strong skin reactions.

The intradermal and the epicutaneous induction resulted in slight skin reactions in a various number of animals indicating that the chosen test substance concentrations led to slight irritation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
slightly irritating
Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
In the sensitization study with HC-2009-257 (Amides, C6-C18, N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl], a.i.98.4%) the direct evidence of corrosive effect of the test substance applying to skin was ascertained.
The maximum compatible doses which led to slight irritation after intradermal and dermal application as well as the subirritative dose for the challenge were determined in a pilot experiment.
Moreover, the test article concentration for the challenge procedure was 1 %. In the challenge visible changes of the skin like slight and easily detectable erythema (= grading 1 and 2) and slight to easily recognizable swelling (= grading 1 and 2) were observed in five out of ten test group animals 24 h after patch removal; 48 h after the challenge these skin reactions were still observed and one additional animal showed slight erythema (= grading 1).
In conclusion, the test substance HC-2009-257 (Amides, C6-C18, N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl], a.i.98.4%) is to be regarded as slightly corrosive grading 1-2.
