Description of key information

Skin Irritation:

The dermal irritation potential of (E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor.

(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)was estimated to be corrosive to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.

Based on the estimated result; (E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate) can be considered corrosive to skin and can be classified under the category “Category 1” as per CLP regulation.

Eye Irritation:

The ocular irritation potential of (E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor.

(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate) was estimated to be corrosive to the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits.

Based on the estimated results,(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)can be considered corrosive to eyes and can be classified under the category “Category 1” as per CLP regulation.

Interpretation of results:
Category 1 (irreversible effects on the eye) based on GHS criteria
Conclusions:
(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate) was estimated to be corrosive to the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits.
Executive summary:

The ocular irritation potential of (E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor.

(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate) was estimated to be corrosive to the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits.

Based on the estimated results,(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)can be considered corrosive to eyes and can be classified under the category “Category 1” as per CLP regulation.

Additional information

Skin Irritation:

Several studies were performed to ascertain the degree of dermal irritation caused by(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate) in living organisms. These studies include in vivo studies in rabbits as well as predicted data for the target chemical as well as its closely related substance, Hexamethylenediamine[CAS: 124-09-4] and functionally similar read across substances, Diethylene Glycol Bis(3-aminopropyl) Ether[CAS: 4246 -51-9] and 3-Methoxypropylamine[CAS: 5332-73-0]. Thepredicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the skin irritation potential was estimated for(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate).(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)was corrosive to New Zealand White rabbit skin.

 

This result is supported by the experimental study summarized in American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, Volume 30, 1969 - Issue 5, Pages 470-476; for thefunctionally similar read across substance, Diethylene Glycol Bis(3-aminopropyl) Ether[CAS: 4246-51-9]. Primary skin irritation on rabbits was recorded in a 10-grade ordinal series and was based upon the severest reaction that develops on the clipped abdominal skin of each of five albino rabbits within 24 hours of the uncovered application of 0.01 ml of undiluted sample or of solutions in water, propylene glycol, or acetone.

Grade 1 indicates no irritation and Grade 2 the least visible capillary injection from the undiluted chemical. Grade 6 indicates necrosis when undiluted and Grade 10 indicates necrosis from a 0.01% solution. Primary Irritation score after 24 hours for Diethylene Glycol Bis(3-aminopropyl) Ether was Grade 6.

Based on this grade, Diethylene Glycol Bis(3-aminopropyl) Ether can be considered moderately irritating to rabbit skin.

 

The above results are supported by the experimental study for the closely related read across substance,1,6-Diaminohexane[CAS: 124-09-4] summarized in Drug and Chemical Toxicology, 1:15–33, 2005. Undiluted 50µl of hexamethylenediamine was applied to the intact shaven skin of 10 guinea pigs and observed for signs of irritation (exact duration of exposure and observation period not specified).Severe necrosis was observed within 1 hour of exposure to undilutedhexamethylenediamine. Hence, hexamethylenediamine can be considered to be corrosive to guinea pig skin.

 

These studies are supported by the experimental study for the functionally similar read across substance,3-Methoxypropylamine[CAS: 5332-73-0]summarized in ECETOC- TR-066- Skin Irritation -109; ECETOC; 1995. Undiluted 0.5ml of 3-Methoxypropylamine was applied to directly to the skin of 6 rabbits for 4 hours and observed for signs of irritation. The treated sites were observed and scored for erythema and edema formation at 1,24,48,72 hours, 7, 14, 15 days. The grading scale for irritant effects on rabbit skin, originally proposed by Draize and adopted by OECD 404 Guidelines, US and EC regulatory agencies was used. The “Primary Irritation Index (PII)” was calculated from erythema and edema grades.

Edema and erythema were observed in all the rabbits till 14 days of observation. Also the effects were irreversible even after 15 days. The PII was calculated to be 6.67.

Based on the observations and scores, 3-Methoxypropylamine can be considered to be corrosive to rabbit skin.

 

Even though the results for one of the read across substance was moderately irritating to skin, but the predicted data for the target and remaining functionally/structurally related read across substances indicate a very strong possibility of(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate being corrosive to skin. Hence, by applying the weight of evidence approach, (E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate can be considered to be corrosive to skin.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation,(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidatecan be classified under the category “Category 1”.

Eye irritation:

Several studies were performed to ascertain the degree of ocular irritation caused by(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate) in living organisms. These studies include in vivo studies in rabbits as well as predicted data for the target chemical and functionally similar read across substances, Diethylene Glycol Bis(3-aminopropyl) Ether[CAS: 4246-51-9] and 3 -Methoxypropylamine[CAS: 5332-73-0]. Thepredicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the ocular irritation potential was estimated for(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate).(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)was corrosive to New Zealand White rabbit skin.

 

 

This result is supported by the experimental study summarized in American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, Volume 30, 1969 - Issue 5, Pages 470-476; for thefunctionally similar read across substance, Diethylene Glycol Bis(3-aminopropyl) Ether[CAS: 4246-51-9].Eye injury in rabbits is recorded in a 10- grade ordinal series and is based upon the degree of corneal necrosis that results from instillation of various volumes and concentrations of chemical.

Grade 1 indicates at most a very small area of necrosis resulting from 0.5 ml of undiluted chemical in the eye. Grade 5 indicates a so-called severe burn from 0.005 ml, and Grade 10 indicates a severe burn from 0.5 ml of a 1% solution in water or propylene glycol.

Primary Irritation score after 24 hours for Diethylene Glycol Bis(3-aminopropyl) Ether was Grade 8.

In the acute eye irritation study conducted in albino rabbits, Diethylene Glycol Bis(3-aminopropyl) Ether was considered to be moderately irritating to rabbit eyes.

The above results are also supported by the experimental study forthe functionally similar read across substance,3-Methoxypropylamine[CAS: 5332-73-0] summarized inDrug and Chemical Toxicology, 1:15–33, 2005. 85% solution of hexamethylenediamine was instilled in the eyes of rabbits and observed for signs of irritation till 6 hours.Severe initial reaction with extensive lacrimation was noted in all the rabbits. Six hours later, the irritation had progressed to severe conjunctivitis. These effects were reversible in 5 to 10 days post-treatment.

Based on these observations, Hexamethylenediamine can be considered to be a severe eye irritant.

Based on the available data for the target as well as read across chemicals and applying the weight of evidence approach,(E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidatecan be considered to be irritating to eyes. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, test chemical can be classified under the category “Category 2”.

 

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available data for (E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate) indicates that it is likely to cause severe irritation (corrosion) to skin and eyes.

Hence, (E)-(ethyl N-hydroxyethenecarboximidate)can be classified under the category “Category 1” for skin irritation and AS" Category 2" for eye irritation as per CLP regulation.
