Administrative data

Endpoint:
acute toxicity: oral
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Study period:
1991-03-04 to 1991 03-26
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
Rationale for the reliability: Guideline study; well-performed and well-documented; read-across Rational for the justification: the grouped substances differ only that the read-across substance is a weak acid and that the registration substance is the corresponding salt. When dissolved in biological fluid, the regitration substance will be converted to the read-across substance.

Justification for the read-across using (Pentapropylensuccinimido)-caproic acid as supporting substance.

The read-across supporting substance is a weak acid and the registration substance is the corresponding weak base. When dissolved in aqueous system or in the biological fluid the registration substance will be dissociated and converted in the read-across supporting substance and sodium ion/triethanolamine ammonium, thereby explaning the expected comparability. The counter ions of the registration substance, sodium ion and triethanolammonium ions are of limited toxicological meaning for the endpoint acute toxicity.

Upon exposure to the registration substancel the conversion to the read-across supporting substance is likely to occur prior to adsorption. It means, the conversion occurs mostly already in the gastro-intestinal tract, in the fluid of the respiratory tract and during the penetration of the upper layer of epidermis for uptake routes oral, inhalative and dermal respectively.

It is therefore apparent that there should be no potency difference on bases of molar dose. For obtaining the proper LD50 for the registration substance, the only factor to be considered is the molecular mass difference (530 g/mol vs ca. 420 g/mol).

The provided dose level of 2000 mg/kg bw of the read-across supporting substance corresponds to 2500 mg/kg bw.

The acute oral toxicity of the read-across supporting substance was investigated according to the OECD Guideline 401. At dose of 2000 mg/kg bw no significant effect was found.
Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the read-across supporting substance was investigated according to the OECD Guideline 401. At dose of 2000 mg/kg bw no significant effect was found. The doses provided equals 2500 mg/kg bw of the registration substance.
