Toxicity Profile for Diethyl sebacate (1996)
Abstract
Diethyl sebacate was slightly irritant to the skin of rabbits. Skin sensitization has been reported in patients following topical application of preparations containing the sebacate, although an attempt to induce sensitization with a dilute solution was unsuccessful. Acute oral toxicity was low in rats and guinea-pigs treated orally and in rabbits treated dermally. Limited studies involving repeated oral administration to rats showed no toxic effects, although liver (peroxisomal) enzyme activity was increased in mice treated orally. Diethyl sebacate was not mutagenic in a very limited bacterial test.
What are Toxicity Profiles?
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals.
They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
