Butanedioic acid, sulfo-, C-[2-[(1-oxododecyl)amino]ethyl] ester, monosodium salt

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Key studies for oral and dermal acute toxicity were available from read across substance 'Butanedioic acid, 2(or 3)-sulfo-, 4-[2-[(1-oxo(C12-C18(even numbered) and C18unsaturated)alkyl))amino]ethyl]esters, disodium salts', demonstrating LD50 >2000 mg/kg bw after both routes. Inhalation toxicity testing was waived based upon the fact that acute inhalation exposure as such is very unlikely for sulphosuccinates due to their substance properties and the risk management measures that are already implemented.

The read-across test substance dosed by oral gavage at 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw did not reveal any signs of toxicity. No death was recorded within the 14 days observation period. All animals gained the expected weight throughout the whole study period. No pathological changes were observed at necropsy. The LD₅₀ value was ranked exceeding 2000 mg/kg bw.

Executive summary:

In this experiment, read-across substance Butanedioic acid, 2(or 3)-sulfo-, 4-[2-[(1- oxo(C12-C18(even numbered) and C18unsaturated)alkyl))amino]ethyl]esters, disodium salts was examined for acute toxicity after a single dermal application to rats. One dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw was administered on the shaved intact dorsal skin, between the fore and hind extremities of 5 male and 5 female CD/Crl:CD(SD) rats. The read-across test item was held in contact with the skin with 8 layers of gauze. The gauze was covered with a plastic sheet and secured with adhesive plaster strips on the application site for 24 hours. All animals were observed for a period of 14 days. Under the present test conditions, a single dermal administration of 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw to rats revealed no signs of toxicity and no deaths. All animals gained the expected body weight throughout the whole experimental period. No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy.

Additional information

No test data were available for current substance, however read across data were available from 'Butanedioic acid, 2(or 3)-sulfo-, 4-[2-[(1-oxo(C12-C18(even numbered) and C18unsaturated)alkyl))amino]ethyl]esters, disodium salts'. Justification for read across within the category of N-containing sulphosuccinates (N2 subcategory) is documented in a separate document attached in Section 13.

 

Acute oral toxicity

In a key oral acute toxicity study, test item containing 41.5% active ingredient was examined for acute toxicity after a single oral administration to 6 female CD/Crl:CD(SD) rats (Haferkorn, 2013a). The test item dosed by oral gavage at 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw did not reveal any signs of toxicity. No death was recorded within the 14 days observation period. All animals gained the expected weight throughout the whole study period. No pathological changes were observed at necropsy. The LD50 value was ranked exceeding 2000 mg/kg bw.

In conclusion, based on structural similarity no hazard for acute oral toxicity is expected with registered substance.

 

Acute dermal toxicity

In a key dermal toxicity study, test item containing 41.5% active ingredient was examined for acute toxicity after a single dermal application to rats (Haferkorn, 2013b). One dose level of 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw was administered on the shaved intact dorsal skin, between the fore and hind extremities of 5 male and 5 female CD/Crl:CD(SD) rats. The test item was held in contact with the skin under occlusive dressing for 24 hours. All animals were observed for a period of 14 days. The test item revealed no signs of toxicity and no deaths. All animals gained the expected body weight throughout the whole experimental period. No macroscopic findings were observed at necropsy.

In conclusion, based on structural similarity no hazard for acute dermal toxicity is expected with registered substance.

 

Acute inhalation toxicity

Inhalation is very unlikely due to large particle size, low vapour pressure and high hydrophilic properties of the substance. Based on these and other physicochemical properties, the inhalation route is not appropriate; the oral and dermal route of administration are therefore applied as first and second relevant routes (ECHA R7a Guidance p 342). Additional inhalation testing would therefore neither lead to a better risk assessment, nor improve the safety of applications. On the basis of the argumentation summarized above an acute inhalation toxicity study is waived.

 

Conclusion

- Based on read across substance showing LD50 values >2000 mg/kg bw, no hazard is assumed for structurally similar registered substance.

- Inhalation toxicity testing was waived based upon the fact that acute inhalation exposure as such is very unlikely.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on these results and according to CLP (No. 1272/2008 of 16 December 2008), the test substance does not have to be classified and has no obligatory labelling requirement for acute oral and dermal toxicity.
