Description of key information
A Guinea Pig Maximization Test (GPMT) is available for 3-(dimethylamino)propylurea (EC 401-950-2), which is as an impurity present in the registered substance 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea (bisDMAPU) up to approximately 15%. Based on the result of this GPMT test, 3-(dimethylamino)propylurea is not considered to be a guinea pig skin sensitizer.
Furthermore, as the registered substance 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea (bisDMAPU) contains up to 5% of 3-aminopropyldimethylamine (DMAPA), CAS 109-55-7, as an impurity, which is classified as a sensitizer with H317, the registered substance also has to be classified to be a skin sensitizer with H317.

- Executive summary:
The purpose of this study was to assess the potential of 3 -(Dimethylamino)propylurea to elicit skinsensitization (delayed contact hypersensitivity) in guinea pigs. Twenty test and ten control animals wereused in ths study.Based on preliminary tests the following concentrations were determined for the test material applications tobe used in the study:Intradermal induction: 0.1%,Topical induction: 12%,and Initiation: 10%.
A skin sensitization response was observed in one out of ten control animals and in four out of twenty animals treated with 3 -(Dimethylamino)propylurea.Under the protocol (Magnusson and KligmanMaximization) a 30% response is required foramaterial to be considered a skin sensitizer. These results do not show any indication of the test material having a skin sensitizing effect inguinea pigs.
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 1986
- Reliability:
- 1 (reliable without restriction)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study
- Justification for type of information:
- The test item was a mixture of the reaction products (1-(3-(Dimethylamino)propyl)urea (CAS 31506-43-1, EC 401-950-2, mono-DMAPAU) and 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea (CAS 52338-87-1, EC 257-861-2, bis-DMAPAU)
Both source (1-(3-(Dimethylamino)propyl)urea (CAS 31506-43-1, EC 401-950-2) )and target 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea (CAS 52338-87-1, EC 257-861-2) substances are based on the reaction product of dimethylaminopropylamine (DMAPA) and urea.
The main product of this reaction is the singly-substituted urea product, (3-(dimethylamino)propyl) urea (or mono-DMAPAU)
However, an unavoidable side-reaction is the formation of the doubly-substituted product, 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea, which is formed by the disproportionation of mono-DMAPAU.
The test item will contain approximately 15% of 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea.
Read-across is also claimed based on structural similarity and properties of both reaction products. Justification attached. - Reason / purpose for cross-reference:

- Executive summary:
A skin sensitization study was performed in guinea pigs treated with 3 -(Dimethylamino)propylurea (monoDMAPAU)
These results do not show any indication of the test material having a skin sensitizing effect in guinea pigs.
Based on the presence of approximately 15% of 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea.(bisDMAPAU) in the test item, and according to the attached read-across justification this result is also deemed valid for 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea (bisDMAPU).

Justification for classification or non-classification
As the registered substance 1,3-bis[3-(dimethylamino)propyl]urea (bisDMAPU) contains up to 5% of 3-aminopropyldimethylamine, CAS 109-55-7 (DMAPA) which is classified as a sensitizer with H317 as an impurity the registered substance has also to be classified to be a skin sensitizer with H317.
