Additional information

Skin Irritation:

In different studies, N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine has been investigated for potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits, guinea pigs along with predicted data for target chemical and its structurally similar read across chemicals. The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

The dermal irritation potential of N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with logPow as the primary descriptor.

N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine was estimated to be corrosive to the skin of rabbits.

Based on the estimated result; N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine can be considered corrosive to skin and can be classified under the category “Category 1” as per CLP regulation.

This is supported by the dermal irritation study performed on guinea pigs to determine the degree of irritation caused by the structurally similar read across chemical. The test chemical was applied for 24 hour to the skin of 5 Hartley guinea pigs under occlusive conditions. The effects on skin were observed for 14 days.

The test chemical caused erythema, edema, necrosis, and subsequent eschar formation at the site of application. The eschars persisted throughout the 14-day observation period.

Since the effects were persistent throughout the observation period, the test chemical was considered to be corrosive to skin.

The above studies are further supported by the experimental study performed to assess the irritation potential of other structurally similar read across chemical. A total of 6 albino rabbits, undifferentiated as to sex and ranging in weight from 2890 to 4050 grams were used for this study. The animals were divided into 2 groups of 3 animals each. The dorsal skin of each rabbit was prepared for treatment by close clipping of the hair with an electric clipper. In addition, the skin of the rabbits in 1-of-the-2 groups was abraded by producing shallow incisions 3 -4 cm. apart with a 5calpel blade. The remaining group remained intact. Undiluted 0.5 ml of the test chemical was applied toon the back of each rabbit.The material was applied to the back and the area; then covered withrubber damming and surgical gauze and overwrapped with elastic bandages to prevent evaporation.The rabbits were confined in holders designed to immobilize the animal for a total of 24 hours to permit percutaneous absorption and prevent oral ingestion of the compound. The rabbits were then placed in individual metal cages suspended above the droppings with food and water available, ad libitum. At the end of the 24-hour period of confinement in the holder, the bandages were removed and the back of each rabbit vas washed with lukewarm water and the area of compound application examined for evidence of irritation.

The rabbits were scored for erythema and edema according to scale of Draize.

The test chemical when applied to the intact and abraded skin of the albino rabbits caused death in all 6 animals tested within 18 hour following application. Three animals succumbed within 2 hours, 2 rabbits within 4 hours, and the remaining animal within 18 hours following derma1 application. Signs noted prior to death tnc1uded dyspnea, tremors, salivation, nasal discharge, rales and slight convulsions. Due to the mortality observed with the test chemical, a primary irritation score was not obtainable.

Based on these observations, the test chemical was considered to be corrosive to rabbit skin.

Based on the available data for the target as well as read across chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine was corrosive to skin. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be classified under the category “Category 1”.

Eye Irritation:

In different studies, N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine 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 structurally similar read across chemicals. The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

The ocular irritation potential of N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with logPow as the primary descriptor. N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine was estimated to be corrosive to the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits.

Based on the estimated result; N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine can be considered corrosive to the eyes and can be classified under the category “Category 1” as per CLP regulation.

This is supported by the ocular irritation study performed on rabbits to determine the degree of irritation caused by the structurally similar read across chemical. The test chemical was applied to rabbit eyes and after 24 hours of dosing effects was observed.

The test chemical after 24 hours of exposure was irritating to the rabbit eye without irreversible effects.

These results are further supported by another study for the structurally similar read across chemical. The study was performed according to the Draize method. The test was conducted on New Zealand White rabbits.

Test was first performed on one rabbit with 0.1gm of test substance, the treated eye showed moderate irritation, Thereafter 8 additional animals were tested and subjected to rinsing with normal saline after 30 seconds of administration .Ocular lesions were scored approx 1 hr, 1 day upto 21 days. Even 21 days after treatment, un-rinsed eyes in 5/6 treated animals displayed corneaI opacity, iritis and conjunctival irritation. The maximum mean irritation score was 71.2 (of 110 possible maximum) which occurred on day 3, the rinsed eyes showed milder effects; however, serious adverse effects persisted to day 21.

The test chemical was considered to be a very severe irritant to the eye of New Zealand White rabbits under the conditions of these studies causing effects which were not reversed within 21 days of treatment. Immediate washing of the eyes resulted in reduced irritation and more rapid recovery.

Based on the available data for the target as well as read across chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach, N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine was corrosive to eyes. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be classified under the category “Category 1”.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available data for N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine indicates that it is likely to cause corrosion to eyes and skin.

Hence, N-ethyl-p-methoxy-α-methylphenethylamine can be classified under the category “Category 1” for skin and eye irritation as per CLP regulation.
