Details on study design:
RANGE FINDING TESTS: In the initial test, a 0.5% solution of DMAMP was least irritating. Therefore, this concentration was used for the topical applications.

MAIN STUDY
A. INDUCTION EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 10
- Exposure period: ca. 3 weeks
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1 positive control group, 2 negative control groups
- Site: the animals´ backs and flanks (shaved free of hair)
- Frequency of applications: 2 to 3 times a week
- Duration: 24 h
- Concentrations: 0.5% solution of DMAMP

B. CHALLENGE EXPOSURE
- No. of exposures: 1
- Day(s) of challenge: 1 day (24 h)
- Exposure period: 1 day
- Test groups: 1
- Control group: 1 positive control group, 2 skin irritation control groups
- Site: the animals´ backs and flanks
- Concentrations: 0.25 and 0.5% solution of DMAMP
- Evaluation (hr after challenge): 24 and 48 h (actually 27 and 51 h)

OTHER:
Induction period:
After 24 h exposure the patches were removed, the treated skin sites cleaned and scored at 24 and 48 h for erythema and edema according to Draize.
At 48 h the topical application procedure was repeated with each group of animals two to three times a week until a total of 10 applications have been made. After the last application, the animals were allowed to rest for two weeks.
Challenge:
After 24 h exposure, the patches were removed and the challenge sites were depilated with "Nair" (a hair removal product with the active ingredients: calcium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide). 3 h after removal of the hair, the challenge sites were scored for inflammatory skin reactions (erythema and edema) according to Draize. Theses sites were scored again at 48 h (24 h after the first scoring).

Challenge controls:
Negative control groups:
group X: negative control group for DMAMP
group XI: negative control group for DNCB
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
induction: 0.3% solution of dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) in alcohol:saline (20:80); challenge: 0.03% and 0.3% solution of dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) in acetone instead of alcohol

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
Positive control responded as expected with a clear sensitising response at 24 h (7 of 10 animals) and 48 hours (8 of 10 animals) for a 0.3% solution of dinitrochlorobenzene. A solution of 0.03% dinitrochlorobenzene showed a decreased sensitising response: at 24 h (4 of 10 animals) and 48 hours (6 of 10 animals).

Any other information on results incl. tables

During the induction period (initial ten applications), the animals in the test group and in the positive control group showed mild skin reactions. When challenged with 0.25% of DMAMP, two animals in the test group showed skin reactions at 48 h and 7 animals in the negative control group for DMAMP at 24 h as well as at 48 h. A solution of 0.5% of DMAMP also led to skin reactions in more animals of the negative control group of DMAMP (6 of 10) than of the test group (1 of 10) at the 24 h scoring. Also at the second reading more animals of the negative control group (7/10) than of the test group (4/10) showed skin reactions. At challenge with 0.3% dinitrochlorobenzene (DNCB) solution, the positive control gave a valid response.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
2-Dimethylamino-2-methyl-1-propanol was a nonsensitizer under the conditions of this test. The positive control DNCB gave an expected positive response.
