Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- other: Not sensitizing
- Conclusions:
- No reaction was observed in any human volunteers during the assay.Hence Phenethyl butyrate phenethyl butyrate (CAS No: 103-52-6 ) was considered to be not sensitizing to human skin.
- Executive summary:
A human maximization assay was conducted to evaluate the sensitization potential of phenethyl butyrate phenethyl butyrate.
The assay was carried out with 8% (5520µg/cm2) phenethyl butyrate in petrolatum on 25 healthy male and female volunteers. Application was under occlusion to the same site on the forearm or back of all subjects for five alternate day 48 h periods. The patch sites were pretreated for 24 h with 2.5% or 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) under occlusion. Following a 10 day rest period, challenge patches were applied to fresh sites on the back for 48 h under occlusion. The challenge site was pretreated for 1 h with 5–10% SLS. The challenge patches were applied to fresh sites on the back for 48 h under occlusion. The challenge site was evaluated at 48 and 72 h.
No reaction was observed in any human volunteers during the assay. Therefore Phenethyl butyrate phenethyl butyrate was considered to be not sensitizing to human skin.
