Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the test substance CAS 91744-23-9, Glyceryl Citrate/Lactate/Linoleate/Oleate) to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats was investigated in a OECD 401 limit test under GLP conditions. The test substance was given to five animals per sex in a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw.

Animals were examined for clinical signs up to 6 hours after the treatment. Thereafter, animals were daily observed for 14 consecutive days; bodyweights were determined before treatment (day 0), and 7 and 14 days after treatment. At the end of the 14 day observation period all animals were subject to necropsy.

During the study none of the animals died and animals did also not show clinical signs. Body weight gain was normal for all animals. Gross pathology did not result in any findings. Therefore, it can be concluded that the substance is practically non-toxic (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw).

Additional information

Justification for read-across

Reliable data on the acute oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity of glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsaturated, mono-and di-citrates (CAS 91052-16-3) are not available. The assessment of acute toxicity by the oral and dermal route was therefore based on studies conducted with analogue substances as part of a read across approach, which is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).

Acute oral toxicity

CAS 91052-13-0

The acute oral toxicity of glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. mono- and di-, acetates was investigated in an OECD guideline 423 study under GLP conditions (Otterdijk, 2010a). In this study, female Sprague Dawley rats were exposed to a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw in a stepwise procedure (3 rats per step). No mortality was observed up to the end of the14-day observation period. Clinical signs involved hunched posture and/or piloerection in all females on Day 1 of the observation period. All animals showed the expected gain in body weights during the study and necropsy revealed no substance-related findings. Based on the results, the oral LD50 value for female Sprague Dawley rats is > 2000 mg/kg bw. In accordance with OECD guideline 423, the oral LD50 cut-off of the test substance is considered to > 5000 mg/kg bw.

CAS 91744-23-9

The acute oral toxicity of glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats was investigated in an OECD 401 limit test under GLP conditions (Kruegar, 1996a). The test substance was given to five animals per sex in a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. Animals were examined for clinical signs up to 6 hours after the treatment. Thereafter, animals were daily observed for 14 consecutive days; bodyweights were determined before treatment (day 0), and 7 and 14 days after treatment. At the end of the 14 day observation period all animals were subject to necropsy.During the study none of the animals died and animals did also not show clinical signs. Body weight gain was normal for all animals. Gross pathology did not result in any findings. Therefore, it can be concluded that the substance is practically non-toxic (LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw).

Acute dermal toxicity

CAS 91052-13-0

The acute dermal toxicity of glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. mono- and di-, acetates was investigated in a limit test according to OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (Otterdijk, 2010b). In this study, 5 male and 5 female rats were treated with the test substance at a dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The test substance was dissolved in polyethylene glycol at a concentration of 200 mg/mL and applied onto the shaved skin of the test animals (10 mL/kg bw) for 24 h under occlusive conditions. After exposure, residual test substance was removed and animals were observed for a period of 14 days. No mortalities occurred and body weight gain of all animals was within the normal range during the whole study period. Flat posture was noted in all animals on Day 1. On the same day, chromodacryorrhoea was observed in 3/5 males and in 2/5 females. Ptosis was seen in 2/5 males and in 4/5 females, and 3/5 females showed restless behaviour on Day 1. Scales and scabs of the right flank and/or treated skin were observed among 3/5 males and 1/5 females between Days 4 and 15. At necropsy, no substance-related findings were noted. Therefore, the LD50 in male and female rats is > 2000 mg/kg bw.

CAS 91744-23-9

The acute dermal toxicity of glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats was investigated in an OECD 402 limit test under GLP conditions (Kruegar, 1996b). The test substance was applied to the skin of five animals per sex in a single dose of 2000 mg/kg bw (semi-occlusive coverage). Total exposure was for 24h. Thereafter, the test substance was removed using warm water and cellulose. Animals were examined for clinical signs 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 hours after treatment. Animals were thereafter daily observed for 14 consecutive days; bodyweights were determined before treatment (day 0), and 7 and 14 days after treatment. At the end of the 14 day observation period all animals were subject to necropsy. During the study none of the animals died and animals did also not show clinical signs. Body weight gain was normal for all animals. Gross pathology did not result in any findings. Therefore, it can be concluded that the substance is practically non-toxic (LD0 > 2000 mg/kg bw).

Overall conclusion for acute toxicity

The reliable data available for the read-across analogue substances indicate a very low level of acute toxicity following the oral and dermal route, as LD50 values were greater than the currently applied limit values. Therefore, as the available data did not identify any hazard for acute toxicity, glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsaturated, mono-and di-citrates (CAS 91052-16-3) is not considered to be hazardous following acute exposure.


Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from structural analogues. All available studies are adequate and reliable based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substances and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from structural analogues. All available studies are adequate and reliable based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substances and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).

Justification for classification or non-classification

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. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to glycerides, C16-18 and C18-unsaturated, mono-and di-citrates (CAS 91052-16-3) data will be generated from data for reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.Therefore, based on the analogue read-across approach, the available data on acute toxicity do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
