2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidone

Skin irritation / corrosion

Administrative data

Endpoint:

skin irritation: in vivo

Type of information:

experimental study

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

1 (reliable without restriction)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: see 'Remark'

Remarks:

Guideline study under GLP . Deficiency: One animal removed the patch itself before the end of the treatment period; the skin irritation values obtained for this animal are therefore considered to be too low. However, the outcome of the study is not affected.

Vehicle:

other: distilled water

Controls:

other: a control gauze patch was applied to the contralateral flank

Amount / concentration applied:

Results 1

Irritation parameter:

Time point:

other: 24 h

Score:

Reversibility:

other: TK 11831 induced maximum irritant effects which were expected not to be reversible within 14 days. The animals were killed for animal protective reasons 24 hours after removing the bandage.

Remarks on result:

other: One animal removed the patch itself before the end of the treatment period. Therefore the skin irritation values obtained for this animal are considered to be too low and are not included in the calculation of the mean.

One animal (No. 565) removed the patch itself before the end of the treatment period period. Therefore the skin irritation values obtained for this animal are considered to be too low.

At the 1 hr-reading a necrotic area (diameter: 1 cm) was observed at the treated skin site of animal No. 565. 24 hours after patch removal the treated skin of animals No. 633 and 625 appeared strongly necrotic and showed black discoloration at a size of approximately 8 x 8 cm (animal No. 633) and 3 x 3 cm (animal No. 625). In animal No. 565 a yellowish discoloration of the skin was seen. Furthermore, at the 24 hours evaluation a slight loss of weight was observed in animals No. 633 and 625.

TK 11831 induced maximum irritant effects which were expected not to be reversible within 14 days. The animals were killed for animal protective reasons 24 hours after removing the bandage.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

Category 1B (corrosive) based on GHS criteria

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

According to OECD Guideline No. 404 it has to be concluded that the test substance has corrosive effects in albino rabbits under these test conditions. The test substance has therefore to be classified according to EU (C, R34) and GHS (cat. 1B).
