Principles of method if other than guideline:
Study to clarify the potential mechanism of action of Methyl methacrylate (MMA) and related compounds to membranes of  living cells, compared with their interaction with dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC) liposomes as a model for biological membranes.

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Butyl methacrylate
EC Number:
202-615-1
EC Name:
Butyl methacrylate
Cas Number:
97-88-1
Molecular formula:
C8H14O2
IUPAC Name:
butyl methacrylate

Administration / exposure

Details on study design:
For (meth) acrylates, MMA, ethyl acrylate (EA), n-butyl acrylate (BA) and n-butyl methacrylate (BMA) and for living cells, primary human gingival fibroblast (HGF), human submandibular gland adenocarcinoma cell line (HSG) and human erythrocytes were used. The physico-chemical changes in DPPC liposomes induced by (meth) acrylates were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR).

Results and discussion

Details on results:
Cytotoxicity decreased as follows: Butyl acrylat > n-Butyl methacrylate > Ethyl acrylate > Methyl methacrylate

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Using a valid experimental method, n-Butylmethacrylate exhibited large cytotoxicity and high Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)-interaction due to their lipophilicity compared to Ethyl acrylate or Methyl methacrylate.
Executive summary:

Using a valid experimental method, n-Butylmethacrylate exhibited large cytotoxicity and high Dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC)-interaction due to their lipophilicity compared to Ethyl acrylate or Methyl methacrylate.
