Description of key information

The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of SDIPB in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.  In accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5, read across data from hydrotropes were used for inhalation (LC50> 6.41 mg/L, aerosol) and dermal  toxicity (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw). The conclusion from these studies is that  SDIBP is "practically non-toxic" by EU criteria in acute oral, dermal and inhalation exposure.

Executive summary:

To cover the endpoint acute oral toxicity of substance SDIPB, fixed dose method was applied to female Wistar strain rats according to OECD Guideline 420, and EU method B.1 bis. Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of SDIPB at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the SDIPB in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.

SDIPB should not be classified as acute oral toxicity according to CLP regulation and DSD criteria.

Additional information

The acute oral toxicity test was performed with SDIBP (Huntsman, 2012). In accordance to Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 Annex XI, 1.5, read across data from the members of hydrotrophes ammonium xylene sulphonate (CAS No. 26447-10-9), and calcium xylene sulphonate (CAS No. 28088-63-3) were used for inhalation and dermal acute toxicity. To address the acute oral toxicity endpoint of SDIPB, the fixed dose method was applied to female Wistar strain rats according to OECD Guideline 420. Following a sighting test at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg, an additional four fasted female animals were given a single oral dose of SDIPB at a dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of SDIPB in the female Wistar strain rat was estimated to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.

An acute inhalation study (Conoco,1980), limit test, with an exposure period of 232-minutes is available for ammonium xylene sulphonate (CAS No. 26447-10-9). Exposure of single dose of 6.41mg/L to male and female rats was performed with no vehicle and a 14-day post exposure observation period. There were no deaths at the 6.41 mg/L dose. Aerosolization was done by a DeVilbiss Nebulizer and exposures were in glass chambers. One of the 10 animals demonstrated clinical signs (soft stool), 2 out of 10 had slight weight gains at days 7 and 14, and 5 out of 10 showed slight mottling or a moderate congestion of lungs at necropsy. The conclusion was reported as "practically nontoxic".

The acute dermal study (calcium xylene sulphonate - CAS No. 28088 -63 -3) is a GLP compliant, guideline study (EPA OTS 798.1100) that exposed 10 adult rabbits (10 male, 10 female) for 24 hours (occluded) to one dosage level of 2000 mg/kg bw) followed by a full suite of observations and measures for 14 days (Ruetgers-Nease, 1994). In this limit test with no vehicle and clipped hair but intact skin, no adverse effects were recorded. 4 of the 10 animals displayed no visible abnormal signs. Erythema was noted on day 3 in six animals with desquamation additionally observed on day 9 in one animal. The dermal LD50 was determined to be higher than 2000 mg/kg bw.

The available acute oral toxicity study of SDIBP and read- across studies with inhalation and dermal exposure to the members of hydrotropes demonstrate that SDIBP has a low acute toxicity.

Category Justification

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.

Applying the category approach read-across concept to SDIBP, data will be used from a representative member of the hydrotropes category to avoid unnecessary (animal) testing. The endpoints for which the read-across approach to SDIBP is applied, are: toxicokinetics, short-term toxicity to fish, toxicity to microorganism, acute toxicity (inhalation and dermal), skin irritation/corrosivity, skin sensitisation, genetic toxicity (in vitro, in vivo), repeated-dose toxicity (oral and dermal), screening for carcinogenicity, and screening for reproductive / developmental toxicity.

Hazard assessment related key information for SDIBP:

SDIPB and the hydrotrope members exhibit similar levels of low toxicity. Acute toxicity values are above the classification limits, they are not sensitizing and show no genotoxic effects. Both exhibit neglible irritation to the skin, but are moderately irritating to the eyes (Cat 2B). Together with the chemical structure similarity and their similar chemical properties, it is deemed correct to fill the existing data gaps on mammalian toxicity of SDIPB with the data of the hydrotrope category.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The available acute toxicity study of SDIBP and read-across studies with inhalation and dermal exposure to the members of hydrotropes demonstrate that SDIBP is of low acute toxicity. SDIPB should not be classified for acute toxicity according to CLP regulation and DSD criteria.
