REMARKS: Moderate or marked erythema (grade 2 or 3), partly extending beyond the area of exposure, was observed in all animals immediately after removal of the patch up to study termination on day 14. Slight edema (grade 1) was observed in a single animal at the 24-hour reading, only. Moderate edema (grade 2) extending beyond the area of exposure, noted in two animals on day 7, persisted in a single animal up to day 14. Additional findings like scaling, severe scaling extending beyond the area of exposure, eczematoid skin change and detachment of superficially altered skin layers in the region of eczematoid skin change with smooth and reddened skin underneath were observed in the animals during the observation period. The cutaneous reactions were not reversible in all animals within 14 days after removal of the patch. Moderate erythema as well as edema, both extending beyond the area of exposure, and detachment of superficially altered skin layers in the region of eczematoid skin change with smooth and reddened skin underneath were still observed in a single animal at study termination. The other two animals showed moderate erythema and scaling on day 14.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:

slightly irritating

Remarks:

Migrated information

Conclusions:

Considering the described cutaneous reactions as well as the average score for irritation, 3,7,11-trimethyldodecyn-3-ol shows a skin irritation potential under the test conditions chosen.

Executive summary:

An in vitro study using the EpiDerm™ human skin model showed the non-corrosivity of 3,7,11-trimethyldodecyn-3-ol. In order to further assess the acute skin irritation potential of the test substance, a dermal irritation/corrosion test in White New Zealand rabbits was performed according to the method described in OECD guideline 404. An amount of 0.5 mL of the test substance was applied for 4 hours to the intact skin of three rabbits, using a patch of 2.5 cm x 2.5 cm, covered with semiocclusive dressing. After removal of the patch the application area was washed off. The cutaneous reactions were assessed immediately after removal of the patch, approximately 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after removal of the patch and then in weekly intervals until day 14.

Moderate or marked erythema and slight or moderate edema, both partly extending beyond the area of exposure, were observed in the animals during the course of the study. Additional findings like scaling, severe scaling extending beyond the area of exposure, eczematoid skin change and detachment of superficially altered skin layers in the region of eczematoid skin change with smooth and reddened skin underneath were observed in the animals during the observation period. The cutaneous reactions were not reversible in all animals within 14 days after removal of the patch. Moderate erythema as well as edema, both extending beyond the area of exposure, and detachment of superficially altered skin layers in the region of eczematoid skin change with smooth and reddened skin underneath were still observed in a single animal at study termination. The other two animals showed moderate erythema and scaling on day 14. The average score (24 to 72 hours) for irritation was calculated to be 2.0 for erythema and 0.1 for edema.

Considering the described cutaneous reactions as well as the average score for irritation, 3,7,11-trimethyldodecyn-3-ol shows a skin irritation potential under the test conditions chosen.
