Description of key information
Skin Irritation:
The dermal irritation potential of 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor.
1-(3-aminophenyl)urea was estimated to be not irritating to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.
Based on the estimated results, 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea can be considered not irritating to skin and can be classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
Eye Irritation:
The ocular irritation potential of 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor.
1-(3-aminophenyl)urea was estimated to be irritating to the eyes of Vienna White rabbits.
Based on the estimated results, 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea can be considered irritating to eyes and can be classified under the category “Category 2” as per CLP regulation.

Additional information
Skin Irritation:
In different studies, 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea has been investigated for potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with predicted data for target chemical and its closely related read across substances, Urea [CAS: 57-13-6], 3,5 Dimethylaniline [CAS: 108-69-0] and 6-Ethyl-o-toluidine [CAS: 24549-06-2].The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.
In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the dermal irritation potential was estimated for 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea . 1-(3 -aminophenyl)urea was estimated to be not irritating to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.
This result is supported by the experimental study summarized in International Journal of Toxicology;24 Suppl 3:1-56,2005; for the closely related read across substance, Urea [CAS: 57-13 -6]. 1, 10, 25, 50, 75 or 100% urea was exposed to the skin of 3 male nude mice for 24 hours.3 animals were exposed to each formulation and maintained 3/cage. Urea was placed in a PVC (Polyvinyl chloride) cup with a surface area of 0.8 sq cm and surface volume of 0.3 cubic cm. The cup was fastened to the dorsal side of the animal using surgical tape and secured with Superglue. The mice were killed immediately after the 24 hours exposure period. Specimens of the exposed areas and of the adjacent untreated skin were taken for histological evaluation. Histological assessment included examination for epidermal changes, hyperkeratosis, spongiosis, destruction of the epidermis hyperemia, and increase in the cell layer of the stratum granulosum, increase in the density and thickness of the collagen bundles, fractured collagen, infiltration of the dermis and intracellular edema. Urea did not cause any microscopic changes over the 24 hour period at the concentrations tested.
Hence, urea can be considered to be not irritating to the skin of male nude mice.
The above results are further supported by the experimental study summarized in GESTIS for CAS: 108-69-0; Institut für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (IFA) GESTIS-database on hazardous substance, 2016; for the closely related read across substance, 3,5 Dimethylaniline [CAS: 108-69-0]. The study was performed according to a standardized rabbit skin test (OECD 404). 3,5-xylidine was applied into rabbit skin and effects were observed (dose, duration not mentioned).
3,5-xylidine did not cause any irritation to rabbit skin. Hence, 3,5-xylidine can be considered not irritating to rabbit skin.
These results are also supported by the experimental study summarized in GESTIS for CAS: 24549-06-2; Institut für Arbeitsschutz der Deutschen Gesetzlichen Unfallversicherung (IFA) GESTIS-database on hazardous substance, 2017; for the closely related read across substance, 6-Ethyl-o-toluidine [CAS: 24549-06-2]. The study was performed according to a standardized rabbit skin test (OECD 404).6-Ethyl-o-toluidine was applied into rabbit skin and effects were observed (dose, duration not mentioned).
6-Ethyl-o-toluidinedid not cause any irritation to rabbit skin. Hence,6-Ethyl-o-toluidine can be considered not irritating to rabbit skin.
Based on the available data for the target as well as read across chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea can be considered not irritating to skin.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
Eye Irritation:
In different studies, 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea has been investigated for potential for ocular irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with predicted data for target chemical and its closely related read across substances, p-phenylenediamine [CAS: 106-50-3] and o-phenylenediamine [CAS: 95-54-5]. The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.
In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the ocular irritation potential was estimated for 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea . 1-(3 -aminophenyl)urea was estimated to be not irritating to the eyes of Vienna White rabbits.
This result is supported by the experimental study summarized in Cosmetic Ingredient Review, 2007; for the closely related read across substance, p-phenylenediamine [CAS: 106-50-3]. The study was performed according to Draize method. 100% p-phenylenediamine was instilled into rabbit eyes and observed for signs of irritation (duration not mentioned).The ocular reactions were scored according to Draize method. The maximum irritation score reported for p-phenylenediamine was 17.0 of a possible 110. Based on the scores, p-phenylenediamine can be considered mildly irritating to rabbit eyes.
The above results are also supported by the experimental study summarized in Hazardous Substances Databank (HSDB),U.S National Library of Medicine, last updated 2013; for the closely
related read across substance, o-phenylenediamine [CAS: 95-54-5]. 100mg of undiluted o-phenylene diamine was instilled into the eyes of 3 albino rabbits. The treated eyes remained unwashed throughout the exposure and observation period. The rabbits were observed for signs of irritation at 1 hour, 72 hours, day 7 and day 14 post-instillation and the reactions were scored.Ocular irritation was maximal in all 3 rabbits 1 hour after treatment. A mean irritation score was 31.7/110. One rabbit remained unimproved at 72nd hour observation, developing corneal ulceration and vascularization by the 7thday, while Day 7 found complete resolution of all irritative signs in the other 2 treated rabbits. By 14th day observation period, one rabbit continued to show corneal vascularization and ulceration with slight conjunctival redness comprising an individual irritation score of 12/110 and a mean score (3 rabbits) of 4.0/110
Based on the scores and observations, o-phenylene diamine was considered to be moderately irritating to rabbit eyes.
Based on the available data for the target as well as read across chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea can be considered irritating to eyes.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be classified under the category “Category 2”.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Available data for1-(3-aminophenyl)urea suggest that it is not likely to cause any irritation to skin but it is irritating to eyes.
Hence, 1-(3-aminophenyl)urea can be classified under the category “Not Classified” for Skin Irritation and “Category 2” for Eye Irritation as per CLP regulation.
