- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Quality of whole database:
- The available information comprises an adequate and reliable study from a reference substance with similar structure and intrinsic properties. The available study is sufficient to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII, 8.5, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.
Additional information
There is no sufficient data available on the acute toxicity of Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide. In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII, 8.5., in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5., of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, read-across from structurally related substances was conducted.
In accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, "information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI are met.” In particular for human toxicity, information shall be generated whenever possible by means other than vertebrate animal tests, which includes the use of information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across).
Having regard to the general rules for grouping of substances and read-across approach laid down in Annex XI, Item 1.5., of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, whereby substances may be predicted as similar provided that their physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity, the substance listed below are selected as reference substances for hazard assessment.
Discussion
Acute oral toxicity
No studies are available investigating the acute oral toxicity of Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide. In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VII, 8.5. and in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5., of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, read-across to the structurally related category member Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate (CAS 137-16-6) and (Z)-N-methyl-N-(1-oxo-9-octadecenyl) glycine (CAS 110-25-8) was conducted.
The acute toxicity via the oral route of Sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate (CAS 137-16-6) has been investigated in rats in accordance with OECD guideline 401 under GLP conditions (Haynes, 1987).
A group of 10 Sprague Dawley rats (5 males and 5 females) was treated with the limit dose of 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance by gavage. The observation period following administration was 14 days. During the study period, one female animal died at Day 2. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed in the surviving animals. All surviving animals showed normal body weight gain. The female animal found dead had been cannibalised and autolysed. Thus, no detailed post-mortem examination was possible. In surviving animals no abnormalities were noted at necropsy.
Thus, the oral LD50 for male and female rats is greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
Two studies investigating the acute toxicity via the oral route of (Z)-N-methyl-N-(1-oxo-9-octadecenyl) glycine (CAS 110-25-8) are available (Sarasin, 1980; BASF, 1979).
One study was performed in Sprague-Dawley rats similar to OECD guideline 401 (Sarasin, 1980). A group of 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) was dosed with 5000 mg/kg bw of the test substance by gavage. The animals were observed for a period of 14 days following administration.
During the study period, no mortality occurred in any animal. Observed clinical signs included slight dyspnoea, slight exophthalmos and slight to moderate ruffled fur and slight to moderate diarrhoea and a slightly curved body position. All animals recovered within 7 days. No effects on body weight were noted and necropsy revealed no substance-related findings. Thus, the oral LD50 for male and female rats was considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
In a further study with limited data given, (Z)-N-methyl-N-(1-oxo-9-octadecenyl) glycine (CAS 110-25-8) was tested for acute oral toxicity similar to OECD guideline 401 (BASF, 1979). Rats were given the test material per oral administration. No further study details were provided. The authors determined the oral LD50 for rats to be greater than 9200 mg/kg bw.
In summary, the oral LD50 of (Z)-N-methyl-N-(1-oxo-9-octadecenyl) glycine is considered to be greater than 5000 mg/kg bw.
Acute inhalation toxicity
No studies are available investigating the acute toxicity via the inhalation route of Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide. In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII, 8.5.2. and in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5., of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, read-across from the structurally related category member (Z)-N-methyl-N-(1-oxo-9-octadecenyl) glycine (CAS 110-25-8) was conducted.
The acute inhalation toxicity of (Z)-N-methyl-N-(1-oxo-9-octadecenyl) glycine (CAS 110-25-8) was evaluated in two studies similar to OECD guideline 403 (BASF, 1979 a,b). In the key study, groups of 10 Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed nose / head only to 0.3, 0.6, 2.2 and 3.7 mg/L air for 4 h. The animals were observed for a period of 14 days following administration.
Mortality occurred in male animals in the 0.6, 2.2 and 3.7 mg/L air groups (30, 100 and 80% mortality). In female animals, mortality was observed in the 0.6, 2.2 and 3.7 mg/L air groups (10, 40 and 100% mortality), as well. Clinical signs of toxicity were observed in all surviving animals including flight attempts, gasping and noisy breathing, slight staggering, bloody nose area, low motility, hair loss in the head area and salivation in varying degrees.
Surviving animals were free of symptoms from Day 2-8 after treatment and the organs showed no signs of toxicity at necropsy. Body weight loss was observed in females of the 2.2 mg/L and in males of the high-dose group. In animals that died during the study period, clinical signs of toxicity were acute dilatation, acute hyperaemia, oedema and hyperaemia of the lungs, severe exhalation especially at the peripheral areas, severe oedema formation and laminar bleedings of the lungs (high-dose group).
Thus, the LC50 is calculated to be 1.8 mg/L air for females and 1.05 mg/L air for males. The combined LC50 value for males and females is considered to be 1.37 mg/L air after 4 h exposure to the test material.
In the second study, similarly performed as described above, 10 Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed nose / head only to 0.17, 1.35, 1.84, 1.85, 3.28 and 4.96 mg/L air (analytical concentration) for 1 h. Within the first 3 days after exposure, mortality occurred in male animals in the 1.35, 1.84, 1.85, 3.28 and 4.96 mg/L air groups (10, 60, 70, 80 and 100% mortality) and in female animals in the 1.35, 1.85, 3.28 and 4.96 mg/L air groups (30, 30, 30 and 90% mortality). Except in the lowest dose group, the animals of all other groups had eye and nose exudate, eyelid closure, dyspnoea, staggering, cowering position and scrubby substance-clotted fur. Male animals of the 3.28 mg/L and females of the 1.84 mg/L dose groups showed reduced body weight gain at the beginning of the study period being comparable to the control within 14 days. At gross pathology in animals that died during the study period, acute dilatation of the heart and acute hyperemia of the lung were observed. In surviving animals, no signs of toxicity were observed at gross pathology.
Thus, the LC50 for male and female animals is calculated to be > 1.01 – 1.85 mg/L air after 1 h exposure.
Acute dermal toxicity
No studies are available investigating the acute toxicity via the dermal route of Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide. In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII, 8.5.3. and in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5., of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, read-across from the structurally related category member Sodium N-methyl-N-(1-oxotetradecyl) aminoacetate (CAS 30364-51-3) was conducted.
The acute dermal toxicity of Sodium N-methyl-N-(1-oxotetradecyl) aminoacetate (CAS 30364-51-3) was evaluated in rats in accordance with OECD guideline 402 under GLP conditions (Bradshaw, 2013).
Groups of 10 rats (5 males and 5 females) were treated with the test substance moistened with arachis oil BP at the limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw under semi-occlusive conditions for 24 h. The animals were observed for a period of 14 days following administration. During the study period, no mortality and no clinical signs of toxicity occurred in any animal. No substance-related findings during necropsy were observed in any animal. No effects on body weight gain were observed with the exception of one female which showed bodyweight loss during the first week but expected weight gain during the second week. Evaluation of the dermal skin reactions showed very slight erythema (Draize scoring value: 1) at the test sites of 7/10 animals being fully reversible within at the most 5 days. No edema formation was observed in any animal. Crust formation was noted at the test site of one female being reversible within 9 days.
Thus, the dermal LD50 for male and female rats was considered to be greater than the tested limit dose 2000 mg/kg bw.

Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on the acute oral toxicity of substances structurally related to Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide according to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC; therefore, Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide is not expected to exert acute toxicity, either, and the data are thus conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
The available data on the acute inhalation toxicity of substances structurally related to Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide according to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. meet the criteria for classification for Acute toxicity - inhalation category 4 (H332) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 and as Harmful by inhalation (Xn; R20) according to Directive 67/548/EEC; therefore, Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide is expected to exert comparable acute toxicity, either, and is therefore classified accordingly.
The available data on the acute dermal toxicity of the a substance structurally related to Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide according to Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC; therefore, Reaction products of oleoyl sarcosine with sodium hydroxide is not expected to exert acute toxicity, either, and the data are thus conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
