Description of key information

Oral (Read-across, OECD 407, rat) NOAEL: ≥ 2500 mg/kg bw/day

The hazard assessment is based on the data currently available. New studies with the registered substance and/or other member substances of the glycol esters category will be conducted in the future. The finalised studies will be included in the technical dossier as soon as they become available and the hazard assessment will be re-evaluated accordingly.

Data from the source substance Fatty acids, C6-12, esters with propylene glycol (CAS 85883-73-4) was selected as key results for reasons of structural similarity and data reliability.

Additional data from sub-chronic (90-day) oral toxicity testing is given for the source substance Decanoic acid, mixed diesters with octanoic acid and propylene glycol (CAS 68583-51-7. No adverse toxic effects were seen in this study at doses up to 1000 mg/kg bw/day. The systemic NOAEL was found to be≥1000 mg/kg bw/day in male and female rats.

Conclusions:
The read across approach is justified in the analogue justification. The target and source substances are considered unlikely to differ in their repeated dose toxicity potential. The oral repeated dose toxicity of the target substance is estimated based on adequate and reliable short-term toxicity studies with structural analogue source substances. In a 28-day oral gavage study (OECD guideline 407) in male and female rats with the source substance Fatty acids, C6-12, esters with propylene glycol (CAS 85583-73-4) the NOAEL was found to be greater than 2500 mg/kg/day (highest dose tested). In a 90-day oral gavage study (OECD guideline 408) in male and female rats with the source substance Decanoic acids, mixed diesters with octanoic acid and propylene glycol (CAS 68583-51-7) the NOAEL was found to be greater than 1000 mg/kg/day (highest dose tested). Therefore, a NOAEL for repeated dose toxicity after oral exposure of 2500 mg/kg bw/day is considered for the target substance Propylene dinonanoate (CAS 41395-83-9).

Quality of whole database:
The available information comprises adequate and reliable (Klimisch score 2) studies from reference substances with a common mode of action. Read-across is justified based on different compounds having the same type of effect(s) as described in scenario 2 of the Read-Across Assessment Framework (Read-Across Assessment Framework (RAAF), European Chemicals Agency, Helsinki, Finland, 2017), (please refer to the Analogue Justification for further details provided in IUCLID section 13).The selected studies are thus sufficient to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII-IX, 8.6, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

Repeated dose toxicity, oral

CAS 85883-73-4 A 28-day sub-acute repeated oral dose toxicity study was conducted according to OECD guideline 407 under GLP conditions (key study, 2006) with Fatty acids, C6-12, esters with propylene glycol (CAS 85583-73-4). Ten rats/sex/dose were administered 0 (water control), 500, 1500, and 2500 mg/kg bw/day 7 days per week by oral gavage over 28 days. No treatment related adverse effects were observed regarding clinical signs, mortality, feed consumption, body weight, haematology, clinical chemistry, urine analysis, opthalmoscopic examination, gross pathology, organ weights and histopathology examinations. The NOAEL for sub-acute (28-day) systemic toxicity for male and female rats was 2500 mg/kg bw/day.

CAS 68583-51-7

A 90-day sub-chronic repeated oral dose toxicity study was conducted according to OECD guideline 408 and under GLP conditions (supporting study, 1993) with Decanoic acids, mixed diesters with octanoic acid and propylene glycol (CAS 68583-51-7). 10 rats/sex/dose and 5 satellite control and high dose rats/sex were administered 0 (vehicle control), 100, 300, 1000 mg/kg bw/day 5 days per week by oral gavage over 90 days.

Rats were observed daily for clinical abnormalities. The body weight, and feed and water consumption were measured weekly; while haematology and clinical chemistry were assessed in week 6 and week 13. Opthalmoscopic examination, gross pathology, histopathology examinations were performed, and organ weights were determined after sacrifice at study termination. One female at 100 mg/kg bw/day died at the last investigation and blood collection; one male at 300 mg/kg bw/day died in week 7 at the intermediate investigation and blood collection and 1 female at 300 mg/kg bw/day died at the last investigation and blood collection. 1 female and 1 male at 1000 mg/kg bw/day died at the last investigation and blood collection. No substance-related mortality was observed and no toxicologically relevant effects were observed. Based on the absence of adverse toxic effects, the NOAEL for sub-chronic (90-day) systemic toxicity for male and female Wistar rats was 1000 mg/kg bw/day.

  

Overall conclusion for repeated dose toxicity

The data for the read-across analogue substance showed that no effects were observed up to and including the recommended limit values. Therefore, as the available data did not identify any hazard for repeated dose toxicity, Propylene dinonanoate (CAS 41395-83-9) is not considered to be hazardous following repeated exposure.

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to Propylene dinonanoate (CAS 41395-83-9), data will be generated from data for reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.

Therefore, based on the analogue read-across approach, the available data on repeated dose toxicity do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
