Description of key information

Repeated dose toxicity: Oral

The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for test substance  in male and female rats during subchronic repeated dose toxicity study.

Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation

 According to Annex IX of the REACH regulation, testing by the inhalation route is appropriate only if exposure of humans via inhalation is likely. Taking into account the low vapour pressure of the substance 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid, which is reported as 7.01E-008 Pa. Also considering the particle size distribution of the substance, the majority of the particles were found to be in the size of 150.0 micrometer which is much larger size range compared to the inhalable particulate matter. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.

Repeated dose toxicity: dermal

The acute toxicity value for 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (as provided in section 7.2.3) is >2000 mg/kg body weight. The substance was also found to be not irritating to skin. Also, given the use of the chemical as dye intermediate and used for all kinds of dye products; repeated exposure by the dermal route is unlikely. Thus, it is expected that 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid shall not exhibit 28 day repeated dose toxicity by the dermal route. In addition, there is no dermal absorption data as well as no data available that suggests that 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid shall exhibit repeated dose toxicity by the dermal route. Hence this end point was considered for waiver.

Details on results:
Haematology: Significant decrease in white blood cell count was observed in males in the 1000 mg / kg treated group compare to control. Decrease in white blood cell count was mainly due to the decrease in lymphocytes in view of the percentage of white blood cells. There was no significant change in white blood cell count in the recovery group of 1000 mg / kg /day treated group.

Clinical chemistry: Significant decrease in total cholesterol was observed in male at dose level of 1000 mg / kg/day group. Significant increase in GPT was observed in females while significant decreases in blood glucose were observed in females in the 100 and 1000 mg / kg groups. Reduction in blood glucose was observed in the 1000 mg / kg/ day treated group compare to control group. In the 1000 mg / kg recovery group, such changes were not observed, and were recovered.

Urinanalysis: Significant increase in specific gravity and decrease in pH were observed in males at the dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day in treated group compare to control both in administration and recovery group.

Organ weights: Significant decrease in the absolute and relative weights of the thymus was found in females in the 100 mg / kg/day treated group compare to control. A significant increase in the relative weight of the spleen was observed in the females of each group (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/bw/day) treated with the test substance .But when dose and organ weight were correlated, No specific change was observed in result.

Gross pathology: Mild dilatation due to cecal contents retention was observed at dose level of 1000 mg / kg/day of treated group compare to control. There was no change in the cecum in the recovery group of 1000 mg / kg.

Histopathology: Mild changes in the lung, liver, pancreas, kidney and prostate were observed in the control group and 1000 mg / kg/day group, but findings were dose independent.

Executive summary:

The data available from various publication was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of test substance by repeated exposure by oral route. The study is as mentioned below:

Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route;

In 28 days repeated dose toxicity study for test substance was determined in in male and female Crj: CD (SD) rats when they were exposed in a concentration of 0,100,300 and 1000mg/ kg /day for 28 days by oral gavage. There was recovery period of 14 days in control and 1000 mg/kg/day group. No significant change were observed in mortality, clinical sign, body weight food consumption at dose level of100 ,300 and 1000 mg/kg/bw/day in treated group compare to control. Significant change were observed in thehaematology , clinical chemistry and urine analysis , organ weight and gross pathology and histopathology at dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day of treated group. These changes were not recovered during recovery period. No significant changes were observed at the dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day. Therefore the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for test substance in male and female Crj: CD (SD) rats during 28 days repeated dose toxicity study.

In order to evaluate the toxicological properties of chemical substance, was administered orally to male and female Wistar rats 7 days/week for 13 weeks. The study was conducted according to OECD guideline 408. The dosage was 0, 100, 330 and 1000 mg/kg bw, and the vehicle (5% aqueous tylose) administration group was provided as a control. Animals were examined with respect to in-life-observations (viz. mortalities and clinical signs of toxicity, body weight and food-/water consumption were recorded.), clinical pathology (viz. haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis) and anatomic pathology (viz. organ weights, necropsy, histopathology.).Three mortalities (1, week 5, control group; 1, week 13, 330 mg/kg-group; 1, week 6, 1000 mg/kg-group) occurred intercurrently but were not substance related. No clinical signs of toxicity were seen in any group. Food- and water consumption were the same in test- and control groups. Haematology results (total and differential blood count) of test animals did not differ from controls throughout the experiment. The same holds for clinico-chemical parameters, except for protein content in serum in females of the 1000 mg/kg-group, which was increased as compared to controls. However, the level found was within the biological variability range on record for female rats of this age and was therefore not considered substance related. Necropsy-findings in the animals which had died intercurrently, revealed no pathological changes attributable to the test substance. Neither did the animals which were sacrificed pursuant to protocol at the end of the study exhibit any such changes. Differences in organ weights, if observable at all (e.g. spleen in's), were small and not dose dependent. Histopathology did not reveal any organ change or–damage in any one of the dose groups. Based on the above study, the toxicologically no adverse effect amount by repetitive oral administration of test substance for 13 weeks was observed and hence under this test condition NOAEL was considered to be1000 mg/kg bw/day.

Additional information

Various data available for the test chemical was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of test substance upon repeated exposure by oral route. The studies are as summarized below:

Repeated dose toxicity: Oral

In 28 days repeated dose toxicity study for test substance was determined in in male and female Crj: CD (SD) rats when they were exposed in a concentration of 0,100,300 and 1000mg/ kg /day for 28 days by oral gavage. There was recovery period of 14 days in control and 1000 mg/kg/day group. No significant change were observed in mortality, clinical sign, body weight food consumption at dose level of100 ,300 and 1000 mg/kg/bw/day in treated group compare to control. Significant change were observed in the hematology , clinical chemistry and urine analysis , organ weight and gross pathology and histopathology at dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day of treated group. These changes were not recovered during recovery period. No significant changes were observed at the dose level of 1000 mg/kg/day. Therefore the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for test substance in male and female Crj: CD (SD) rats during 28 days repeated dose toxicity study. 

In order to evaluate the toxicological properties of chemical substance , was administered orally to male and female Wistar rats 7 days/week for 13 weeks.

Hence this end point was considered for waiver.

 

Based on the data available from the test chemical, the test substance is not likely to exhibit repeated dose dermal toxicity. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a repeated dose dermal toxicity as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data available from the test chemical, the test substance is not likely to exhibit repeated dose dermal toxicity. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a repeated dose dermal toxicity as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
