- Executive summary:
Irritation and Corrosion
None of the query structures have an alert for skin and eye irritation from the rule-based expert system DEREK.
OECD Toolbox contains profiler for skin/eye irritation based on the exclusion/inclusion rules by BfR. The exclusion rules for eye/skin irritation/corrosion are based on physico-chemical cut-off values to identify chemicals that do not exhibit eye/skin irritation or corrosion potential. The parameters used for defining skin/eye irritation rules are: lipid solubility, surface tension (only skin), octanol water partition coefficient, aqueous solubility, melting point and molecular weight. Since none of the query structures met all the cut-off values Toolbox concluded the results to be undefined. The profiler with inclusion rules by BfR contains structural alerts which can be used for positive classification of chemicals causing irritation/corrosion. However, none of the query structures has such an alert or passed the exclusion rules. Additional read-across with OECD Toolbox failed because no structural similar chemicals with study results on irritation and corrosion could be obtained from the Toolbox database.
Almost the same physicochemical property limits and structural rules are used by the rule-based expert system Toxtree for estimating skin/eye irritation/corrosion (see,Table7). All query structures belong to Toxtree Group C (only molecules with CxHyOz) and have obviously not passed any the physicochemical limit values for being excluded from skin corrosion or skin irritation and are then considered to potentially cause skin corrosion or skin irritation (see,Table8)[1]. It has however to be noted that if any of the physicochemical parameter is missing, Toxtree will skip the physicochemical rules and only the structural alerts will be applied, which may result in a low quality prediction. This is in contrast to the inclusion and exclusion rules in OECD Toolbox, which consider physicochemical parameter and structural alert separately. Since no information were available for the query structures while all others were estimated using EpiSuite and US EPA Test software (see, appendix), the predictions by Toxtree are considered to be of low confidence. Moreover, the structural alerts between the OECD profiler and the structural classes of Toxtree are also different and therefore explaining the different results. 2-hydroxypropyl octanoate and propylene glycol 2-caprylate belong to the structural Toxtree class of C10–C20aliphatic alcohols which are considered potential skin irritants. This class is however not included in the inclusion rules of the OECD profiler. The Draft OECD SIDS Initial Assessment Report C6-22 primary aliphatic alcohols concludes that linear aliphatic alcohols in the range C6 – C11 are mild irritants, not anticipated to be corrosive. Aliphatic alcohols in the range C12 – C16 have a low degree of skin irritation potential; alcohols with chain lengths of C18 and above are non-irritant to skin. For the essentially linear alcohols, a differentiation in the irritation similar to that of the linear alcohols can be identified. For the alcohols in the C6- C11 range the skin irritation potential can be categorised as mild - irritant. The skin irritation potential for the higher members of the essentially linear alcohols in the range C12 – C16 is mild - essentially non-irritant. In addition, human data indicate that the irritation responses for the category of the linear alcohols are of a lower order than those observed in rabbits[12]. Therefore, the prediction by Toxtree does not validate well. Taking into account the absence of the structural class of aliphatic alcohols in the inclusion rules of the OECD Toolbox profiler, suggests no confidence in the prediction by Toxtree and the prediction are therefore dismissed. Taking into account the negative prediction by CASE Ultra for propylene glycol 2-caprylate and an inconclusive result for 2-hydroxypropyl octanoate (see,Table9), there no supporting evidence that skin irritation can be excluded, although the assessments in the OECD SIDS report suggests aliphatic alcohols to be only mild irritants.
Therefore, the outcome of the predictions for SKIN IRRITATIONof 2-hydroxypropyl octanoate and propylene glycol 2-caprylate can only be considered INCONCLUSIVE.
Toxtree assigned propylene-1,2-dioctanoate, 1,2 propanediol and 1,3 propanediol and caprylic acid to the structural class ethylene glycol ethers which are considered potential skin irritants. None of these structures is however a glycol ether. While an explanation including SMARTS definition could be obtained from the OECD Toolbox profiler (see,Figure8), the mapping in Toxtree indicates the structural alert not properly defined (see,Figure9). Overall, the structural alert of Toxtree is out of context and the predictions can therefore be dismissed.
However, the report conclusions for the educt substances 1,2/ 1,3-propanediol are clear negative and the for the caprylic acid clear positive. The latter is considered to be based on the short C-chain length and the pka of 4,89.
Taken into account the very low water solubility, the natural pH of the skin and the good metabolization of the substance PGMC, the substance is finally concluded to be NON SKIN IRRITANT and NOT SKIN CORROSIVE.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- All components of the substance PGMC are considered to be non-mutagenic
- Executive summary:
No alert for mutagenicityin vitroin bacterium was identified for the six query compounds with DEREK and the expert system concluded mutagenicityin vitroin bacterium is INACTIVE (Table2). Moreover, no misclassified or unclassified features were detected which indicates confidence in the predictions.
No expert alerts were identified with the rule-based expert system GT_EXPERT of CASE Ultra and the six query compounds were predicted to be NEGATIVE in the bacterial in vitro mutagenicity test forS. typhimuriumandE. coliassays (Table2).
Rule-based read-across platform ToxRead identified only structural alerts for non-mutagenicity (Table2) and predicted all query compounds to be NON-MUTAGENIC in the Ames mutagenicity test (Table5).
2-hydroxypropyl octanoate, propylene glycol 2-caprylate, propylene-1,2-dioctanoate and 1,2 propanediol have a structural alert forin vivomutagenicity in OECD Toolbox (Table2). Thein vivomutagenicity (micronucleus) alert explores the possibility that a chemical interacts with DNA and/or proteins via non-covalent binding, such as DNA intercalation or groove-binding[11]. The percentage of true positives for this alert was low as only 34% of the substances that generate this alert tested positive for this mutagenic pathway (i.e., 55 substances tested positive of the 163 substances with this alert in the original analysis conducted by Benigni et al.[12]). In another study 28 structural alerts of the six mutagenicity profiler in OECD Toolbox were found to be too inaccurate to be used as an indicator for mutagenicity, of which “Hacceptor-path3-Hacceptor” in the micronucleus profiler was the highest triggered alert. The positive predictivity of this alert was 30% (i.e. 323 substances tested positive of the 1114 with this alert)[13]. Thus, the presence of this alert is not necessarily a strong indicator of effects. In addition, 1,2 propanediol was reported negative in the micronucleus assay[14], providing sufficient information to suggest this compound is unlikely to cause mutagenicity through the alert identified by the ISS profiler forin vivomutagenicity. Further, negative prediction results for chromosomal aberration, micronucleus and mouse lymphoma test indicate all query compounds to be not clastogenic and/or aneugenic (Table4). In our expert opinion, the domain of this alert is not well defined and the alert has a very weak support for mutagenicity. That makes the alertof context for the purpose of this investigation and suggests dismissing its finding as insignificant.
