Description of key information

Skin irritation

The dermal irritation potential of target chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) was assessedin various experimental studies which were conducted on rabbits for target chemical4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) and its structurally similar read across substancesPhenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5)andAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5). The predicted data usingQSAR toolboxhas also been compared with the experimental data.Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) is unable to cause skin irritation and thus considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

 

Eye irritation

An ocular irritation potential of target chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) was assessedin various experimental studies which were conducted on rabbits for target chemical4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) and its structurally similar read across substancesPhenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5) and Methylparaben (CAS No: 99-76-3). The predicted data usingQSAR toolboxhas also been compared with the experimental data.Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) is unable to cause eye damage and thus can be considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Additional information

Skin irritation:

Various studieshas been investigated for the test chemical4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) to observe the potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits and guinea pigs for target chemical4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) and its structurally similar read across substancesPhenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5)andAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5).The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;

 

Acute Dermal Irritation/corrosion Study of read across chemical Phenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5) in Rabbits, was performed in an OECD GLP laboratory (Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB has the letter of access,2014) as per OECD guideline No. 404. Three healthy young adult female rabbits were used for conducting acute dermal irritation/corrosion study. Initially, the test item was applied to the clipped area of skin of one rabbit. The test site was covered with gauze patch. After 4 hours of exposure in animal no.1, no erythema and edema was observed at 1 hour of observation. At 24, 48 and 72 hours observation no erythema and no edema was observed. Hence the confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (No. 2 and 3) to confirm the non-irritant nature of the test item. The patch was removed after 4 hours and rabbits were observed for erythema and edema at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after patch removal, evaluated and graded as per Draize method. In animal no. 2, at 1 hour observation post patch removal, revealed very slight erythema (barely perceptible) and no edema whereas animal no. 3 showed no erythema and edema. At 24, 48 and 72 hours, animal nos. 2 and 3 showed no erythema and no edema. The other untreated side revealed no erythema and no edema and was found to be normal throughout the experimental period. The individual mean score at 24, 48 and 72 hours for treated site for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 were 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 0.00, for erythema and edema formation, respectively. No erythema and no edema (skin irritation) were found at the end of 72 hour observation period after patch removal. Hence, it was concluded that Phenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. – 102 -20-5) was Non-Irritating to the skin of Female New Zealand White rabbits under the experimental conditions tested and is Classified as “Category- Not Classified as Skin Irritant” as per CLP criteria for Classification.

 

In another Guideline study conducted for same read across substance Phenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5) at Sustainability Support Services sponsored lab.(report number 20167, 2012) 3 female New Zealand White rabbits were used. The rabbits were prepared 24 hours prior to application of test product. The furs from the dorsal area of trunk of animals were removed with electric clippers exposing an area measuring approximately 6 cm2 of body surface area of animal. The care was taken such that abrasion penetrated the Stratum corneum only and not dermis. 0.5 gm of the test compound was applied on a small area 6 square cms of the intact test site. Each site of application was covered with an impervious dressing which was secured with an adhesive tape. The animals were housed individually and restrained by the use of plastic collars. After patch removal [4 hours later] the unabsorbed test chemical was removed and the test site was washed with lukewarm water. The intact skin site of application was observed for erythema and edema at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours till 14 days after application and scored according to Draize method. Phenethyl phenylacetate did not produce erythema or edema throughout the observation period of 14 days. The dermal irritation index was calculated to be 0.00. Phenethyl phenylacetate did not produce any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the study. Based on the score and observations, Phenethyl phenylacetate can be considered not irritating to skin.

 

The above results were further supported by thePreliminary irritation testcarried out byD.W. SHARP {Toxicology, 9 (1978) 261-271} forread across substanceAnisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5)in guinea pigs to determine the concentration suitableforthe sensitization study[injection challenge concentration (ICC) and application challenge concentration(ACC)].In the preliminary test, the guinea pigs were treated intradermally and dermally. 4 guinea pigs were (same sex) were injected intradermally in the clipped and shaved flanks with 0.1ml aliquots of a range of concentration of test substance in physiological saline. 24 hours later, the skin was examined for erythema and edema.The concentration giving slight but perceptible irritation with no oedema was selected as the injection challenge concentration (ICC).Aliquots of 0.1ml using a range of concentration of the test substance in distilled water were applied in small circular areas to the shaved flanks of 4 previously untreated guinea pigs.24 hours later, the skin was examined for erythema and the highest concentration which caused no irritation was selected as the application challenge concentration (ACC).As a result of preliminary studies, the concentrations of Anisic alcohol at which no irritation was observed were 0.25% for the ICC and 10% for ACC.Since the test chemical did not induce any cutaneous effects at these concentrations, the Anisic alcohol (CAS No: 105-13-5) was considered to be not irritating to the skin of guinea pigs.

 

 

Thus based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) is unable to cause skin irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

 

 

Eye irritation:

In different studies,the test chemical4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) has been investigated for potential for ocular irritationto a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits for target chemical4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) andits structurally similar read across substancessubstancePhenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5) and Methylparaben (CAS No: 99-76-3).The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;

 

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the eye irritation potential was estimated for test chemical4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) .The chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) is estimated to be not irritating to eye of New Zealand White rabbits.

 

Acute Eye Irritation/Corrosion Study of read across substance Phenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5) in Rabbits, was performed in an OECD GLP laboratory (Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB has the letter of access) as per OECD guideline no. 405. Rabbits free from injury of eye were selected for the study. The eyes of all the rabbits were examined 24 hours prior to treatment. One eye of each rabbit served as control and other as treated. Control eye was left untreated whereas; 0.1 ml of test item (as such)was instilled in the other (treated) eye of rabbits. The eye was observed at 1, 24, 48, 72 hours after test item instillation. Ophthalmoscope was used for scoring of eye lesions. In the initial test,0.1 ml of as such test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of the right eye of animal no.1 whereas the left eye of the rabbit served as the control. As animal no. 1 showed no severe ocular lesions hence a confirmatory test was conducted on additional two rabbits (animal no. 2 and 3);0.1 ml of as such test item was instilled into the conjunctival sac of right eye of both the rabbits and left eye served as the control. Untreated eye of all the three rabbits was normal throughout the experimental period of 72 hours. The following grading scores were observed in treated eye of tested rabbits. The individual mean score for animal nos. 1, 2 and 3 at 24, 48, 72 hours (at treated site) for corneal opacity, iris, conjunctiva and chemosis were found 0.00, 0.00, 0.33, 0.00; 0.00, 0.00, 0.33, 0.00 and 0.00, 0.00, 0.33, 0.00 respectively. Under the experimental conditions tested, Phenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5) is found to be Non Irritant to New Zealand White male rabbit eyes and is thus Classified as “Category- Not Classified as Eye Irritant” as per CLP criteria for Classification.

 

In another Guideline study conducted for same read across chemical Phenethyl phenyl acetate (CAS No. 102-20-5) at Sustainability Support Services sponsored lab.(report number 20167, 2012) 3 female New Zealand White rabbits were used. 0.1 ml of the test chemical was moistened with water was instilled in the conjunctival sac of rabbits after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The other eye which remained untreated served as a control. The ocular lesions were evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment. The grades of ocular reactions (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animals were observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. Individual animal weights before and during the study was observed. The overall irritation index of Phenethyl phenyl acetate was 0.0 after 72 hours. Also Phenethyl phenyl acetate did not produce any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the examination period of 21 days. Hence, under the test conditions, Phenethyl phenyl acetate can be concluded to be not irritating to New Zealand White rabbit eyes.

 

The Cosmetic Ingredients Review Expert Panel (CIR, 1984) conducted an eye irritation studyfor structurally similar read across substanceMethylparaben (CAS No: 99-76-3) on rabbits to determine the degree of eye irritancy.During the test, 0.1-02 % ofMethylparaben was instilled into the eye of each rabbit and later observed for ocular lesions. The chemical did not induce any ocular lesions at test concentration.Hence the chemicalMethylparaben (CAS No: 99-76-3)was considered to be not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.

 

 

Thus based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) is unable to cause eye irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The skin and eye irritation potential of test chemical 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) and its structurally similar read across substanceswere observed in various studies. The results obtained from these studies indicate that the chemical 4-aminobenzene-1,2-dicarbonitrile is unlikely to cause skin and eye irritation. Hence 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol (CAS No: 51-67-2) can be classified under the category “Not Classified” for skin and eye as per CLP.
