Description of key information
Repeated dose toxicity: Oral
Data available for the read across chemicals was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of N-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-[[2-methyl-4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo] phenyl]azo] naphthalen-2-amine. The studies are as mentioned below:
Toxicity of the test chemical was assessed in Sprague Dawley rats in life time study. 30 Sprague Dawley rats per sex per dose group were fed the test chemical in diet at dose concentration of 0, 0.37, 1.39 or 5.19% (0, 180, 701,2829 mg/kg bw/day for males and 0, 228, 901, 3604 mg/kg bw/day for females), 1 wk before mating, throughout the 3-wk breeding period, and during the gestation and lactation periods. The animals were observed for clinical signs, mortality, morbidity, body weight and food consumption changes, hematology, clinical chemistry, gross and histopathology. No significant compound related adverse effect were observed on mortality, clinical signs, body weight (except for a reduction in body weight in high-dose 3604 mg/Kg bw/day females at the end of the study), food consumption, hematology, clinical chemistry, gross and histopathology. The no observed adverse-effect level (NOAEL) in this study was 5.19% (2829 mg/kg bw/day) for male rats, and 1.39% (901 mg/kg bw/day) for female rats.
13 weeks repeated dose oral toxicity study was performed to determine the toxic nature of the test chemical The study was performed using 40 male and 40 female Sprague Dawley rats at dose levels of 0, 125, 250, 500 or 1000 mg/Kg/day. The post exposure study duration was 4 weeks. During the exposure period, the animals were observed for clinical signs, body weight changes and food consumption; ophthalmologic, hematological, clinical chemistry, urinanalysis was also performed. The animals were subjected to gross and histopathology. No relevant clinical symptoms and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study. The eye examinations and urine analysis revealed no deviations from controls. The body weight gain and the absolute and relative organ weights were within the control ranges, with the exception of the females from the high dose group, which had higher kidney weights at the end of the treatment and the recovery period. The increased kidney weights were not associated with histopathological changes, and were unlikely to be of toxicological significance. Based on the observations made, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test chemical is considered to be 500 mg/kg/day in male and female Sprague Dawley rats.
Based on the data available for the read across chemicals, N-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-[[2-methyl-4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo] phenyl]azo] naphthalen-2-amine is considered to be safe atleast in the dose range of 500 - 2829 mg/Kg/day. Hence the test chemical is not likely to be toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulatioin.
Repeated dose toxicity: Inhalation
N-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-[[2-methyl-4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]naphthalen-2-amine has very low vapor pressure (8.07E-012 Pa), so the potential for the generation of inhalable vapours is very low. Also the normal conditions of use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be highly unlikely and therefore this end point was considered for waiver
Repeated dose toxicity: Dermal
The acute dermal toxicity value forN-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-[[2-methyl-4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]naphthalen-2-amine(as provided in section 7.2.3) is >2000 mg/kg body weight. The substance was also found to be not irritating and not sensitizing to the skin. Based on these considerations, the end point for repeated dermal toxicity is considered as waiver.

Absolute and relative organ weights were determined for the heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, testes with epididymides, and thyroid and adrenal glands.

Complete histology was conducted on all rats from the control and high-dose groups. The following tissues from these rats were examined histologically: brain, pituitary, thoracic spinal cord, eyes, oesophagus, thyroid, thymus, heart, lungs, liver, spleen, pancreas, stomach, small and large intestine, mesenteric lymph node, kidneys, adrenal, urinary bladder, uterus, prostate, ovaries, testes with epididymides, seminal vesicles, skin, rib junction, bone marrow, nerve with muscle, and any tissue masses or lesions. Histology was also conducted on animals from any group with grossly observed masses or lesions. If a potential effect was consistently noted in a tissue then that tissue was examined histologically in all rats. All excised tissues not exhausted for histology were preserved.
2. GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes, Following final treatment, animals were sacrificed, and organs and tissues were examined macroscopically
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes, Following final treatment, animals were sacrificed, and organs and tissues were examined microscopically - Statistics:
- Gain in group mean body weight and total food consumption for weeks 0-54, group mean body weight at termination, and absolute and relative organ weights were analysed by the methods of Bartlett (937), Snedecor and Cochran (1967) and Scheffe (1953). Survival data were analysed by the methods of Sachs (1959) and Snedecor and Cochran (1967). Tumour incidence data were analysed by the methods described by Thomas et al. (1977). All analyses were considered
significant at P <0.05. Time-to-tumour analyses were not performed because data correlating the time of tumour development to the time of death were not

- 1. CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
There were no compound-related effects on survival
Localized hair loss (apparently due to friction against the cage) and nasal and ocular discharge occurred at low incidences throughout the study in control and treated rats. A red tint to the fur was noted in treated rats, and the faeces of mid- and high-dose rats were red. Palpable masses were noted with equal incidences in the control and treated groups.
Survival at the end of the study was similar in control and treated groups
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
Group mean body weights at the end of the study were decreased in rats that received FD & C Red No. 40 except for the mid-dose 701 mg/Kg bw/day males, in which they were increased.The mean body weight of the high-dose 3604 mg/Kg bw/day females at the end of the study was significantly less than that of the controls.
FOOD CONSUMPTION
Food consumption were increased in 2829 mg/Kg bw/day foe males and 3604 mg/Kg bw/day for females in the treated group but not significantly so as compared to control
HAEMATOLOGY
Few of the hematological differed significantly between control and treated rats, and none of the differences were compound related.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Few of the Clinical chemistry differed significantly between control and treated rats, and none of the differences were compound related.
URINALYSIS
Few of the urinanalysis differed significantly between control and treated rats, and none of the differences were compound related.
ORGAN WEIGHTS
No compound-related changes in organ weights, were noted in rats that died on test or that were killed in a moribund state or at the end of the study.
GROSS PATHOLOGY
No compound related adverse effect observed
HISTOPATHOLOGY:
Histological evaluation revealed a variety of lesions, including neoplasm, among the control and treated rats.
The lesions were present at similar incidences in control and treated rats and appeared to be spontaneous. None of the lesions were determined to be related to the administration of FD & C Red No. 40.

Based on the data available for the read across, N-(2-ethylhexyl)-1-[[2-methyl-4-[(4-methylphenyl)azo]phenyl]azo]naphthalen-2-amine does not exhibit toxic nature upon repeated exposure by oral route. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a toxicant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
