Details on study design:
The GPMT was carried out as reported previously (Magnusson and Kligman, 1969). The adjuvant and patch test (APT) was carried out as previously reported (Sato, et.al., 1981). The Buehler test (BT) was carried out as previously reported (Buehler, 1965).
The octanol:water partition coefficient (log P) was calculated using a computer system (BioByte software Release 3.55, C-QSAR, Sub system (CLOGP) (Hansch et al., 1995).
Chemical reactivity rates were estimated by the decrease in the amount of 2-phenylethylamine (PEA) in reaction with nDDSA and the positive control compounds. Solutions of 50 mM in DMSO were mixed with 40 mM 2-PEA in DMSO and stirred with a magnetic stirrer for 90 minutes at room temperature. After the reaction, the amount of PEA was measured by HPLC (SUMIPAX ODS column (L-05-4615, 5 µm) 4.6 mm x 15 cm) with a Hitachi L-5200 Intelligent Pump equipped with a Hitachi L-4000 UV detector at 256 nm. The flow rate of eluents (MeOH/H20 = 40:60, v/v, containing 2% PIC B7) through the detector was 1 ml/min. The peak area (A) of PEA reacting with the test compound was divided by the peak area (B) of PEA before the reaction in order to estimate the reactivity rate for each chemical. Reactivity rates = (1-B/A) x 100(%).
Positive control substance(s):
yes
Remarks:
2,4-dinitrochlorobenzene, maleic anhydride, alpha-hexylcinnamic aldehyde

Results and discussion

Positive control results:
2,4-Dinitrochlorobenzene, maleic anhydride, alpha-hexylcinnamic aldehyde were positive in all three test protocols.

Any other information on results incl. tables

nDDSA is positive in three sensitization protocols. The minimum induction concentrations were 1 ppm or 0.0001% (GPMT), 10 ppm or 0.001% (APT) and 1000 ppm or 0.1% (BT) as measured at the challenge phase. Minimum rechallenge concentrations of nDDSA were 100 ppm or 0.01% (GMPT and APT) and 1000 ppm or 0.1% (BT).

LogP was estimated through CLOGP QSAR program to be 5.0

Chemical reactivity of nDDSA with 2-phenylethylamine was 100%. Reactivity for maleic anhydride was 100%, for 2,4 -dinitrochlorobenzene was 60% and for alpha-hexylcinnamic aldehyde was 10%.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
Category 1A (indication of significant skin sensitising potential) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
2-Dodecenyl-1-yl succinic anhydride (nDDSA) was tested in three standard sensitization protocols in guinea pigs, the guinea pig maximization test, adjuvant and patch test and Buehler test. The substance was positive in all three tests. The substance is classified as a dermal sensitizer, category 1A, according to Regulation EC No. 1272, 2008 and Regulation EU No. 286/2011. Data can be read-across among members of the C8-12 Alkenyl Succinic Anhydrides Category, based on common functional groups, similar break-down products and potency patterns among carbon-chain length. This is adequate to fulfill the information requirements, to be the basis for classification and labelling decisions, and for risk assessment.
