Additional information:

Various peer reviewed articles were studied to determine the sensitizing potential of the test compound Ponceau SX. the summary is as below:

Skin sensitizing property of Disodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate (CAS no 4548 -53 -2) is predicted using QSAR toolbox version 3.3, 2016. The substance Disodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4- hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate is estimated to be not sensitizing in an in vivo test on human.

Kligman maximisation test was conducted (Directorate-General Environment, Consumer Protection and Nuclear Safety, 1988) on chemical FD and C Red 4 (RA CAS no 2783 -94 -0). 25 healthy adults were exposed to concentration up to 0.3% (0.3 gm) in petrolatum and applied under occlusion for 48-hrs was negative. Hence,Non-sensitising effects were known inKligman maximisation test of chemical FD and C Red 4 exposed to 25 human adults for 48-hrs.

A historic in house database of guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) result has been analyzed by Cronin et al, 1994 for potential (qualitative) structure activity relationships to predict the skin sensitization potential of the test compound FD&C Red No. 4 (CAS no 4548 -53 -2). Guinea pig sensitization test results for 259 diverse organic compounds have been determined according to standard procedures. In the data set 16 results classified as strong sensitizers were included from the modified single injection adjuvant test (MSIAT), although this is not a maximization test strong sensitizers in this assay were assumed to be strong sensitizers in the GPMT procedure. From the scores obtained in the GPMT, chemicals may be classified qualitatively into one of four groups, i.e. non, weak, moderate or strong sensitizers. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed using the MINITAB statistical software on the physicochemical data set excluding ClogP. Stepwise linear discriminant analysis was performed using the BMDP statistical software package (program P7M). This utilized the sensitizer and non sensitizer classification and the physicochemical descriptors. Multivariate QSAR analysis of a skin sensitization suggests the test compound FD&C Red No. 4 to be a moderate skin sensitizer.

Based on the studies reviewed, it can be concluded that the test material FD and C Red 4 is not a skin sensitizer.


Migrated from Short description of key information:
The substance Disodium 3-((2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo)-4- hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate is estimated to be not sensitizing in an in vivo test on human.

Justification for selection of skin sensitisation endpoint:
The test material FD and C red 4 does not classify as a skin sensitizer.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Skin sensitization:

Based on the weight of evidence used and as per the CLP classification, the test material FD and C red 4 does not classify as a skin sensitizer.
