Description of key information
Skin irritation/Corrosion
One skin irritation / corrosion study is available onSodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate(Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts with CAS no 2060541 -51 -5). The key study is an in-vivo study performed in 1993 according to the OECD Guideline 404 and under GLP. It has reliability rating 1 and classifies the substance as not irritating. This is backed up the available in-vivo and in-vitro data on the other two substances within the group Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, reaction products with chloroacetic acid, sodium salts with CAS no 2098351-38-1) and Sodium oleylamphopolycarboxyglycinate (1,3-Propanediamine, N1-(3-aminopropyl)-N3-[3-[(9Z)-9-octadecen-1-ylamino]propyl]-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium salts with CAS no 2060541-49-1) all showing consistent results.
Eye irritation/corrosion
Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate(Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium saltswith CAS no 2060541-51-5) has been tested both in-vivo and in-vitro studies. The available in-vivo study, the key study, was performed in 1993 under GLP. A single instillation of the test material into the eye of the rabbit elicited corneal opacificaton, iridial inflammation and well-defined conjunctival irritation. All reactions had resolved 3 or 7 days after instillation. Also the other in-vivo study available on the Sodium tallowamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-[3-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]propyl]-N’-(C16-18 and C18-unsatd. alkyl)trimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium salts with CAS no 2060541-47-9) indicated no eye irritation.The effects seen, such as redness in conjunctiva and cornea, were reversible and mild, therefore not generating any classification. The effects in the in-vitro studies are mild, and do not indicate Cat 1 classification for eye irritation. Currently in-vivo data is required in order to classify eye irritation Cat 2. The weight of evidence from all the available eye irritation data on this group of substances indicates no classification for eye irritation.

- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the eye irritation potential of the test material to the rabbit. The method followed was that described in EEC Methods for the determination of toxicity, Amex to Directive 92/69/EEC (OJ No. L383A, 29.12.92), Part 3, Method B.5. Acute toxicity (eye irritation). The composition of the test material is estimated to be 40% active ingredient (incl NaCl) and 60 % water. Three rabbits were each administered a single ocular dose of 0.1 ml of the test material and observed for seven days after instillation. The active ingredient is Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts (CAS no 2060541-51-5).

- Endpoint:
- eye irritation: in vivo
- Type of information:
- read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- June 1985
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: The study was performed accosring to US federal methods which are comparable to the OECD guideline and the study was performed under GLP. Observations were made for 72 hours although effects were not fully reversed at that time.
- Justification for type of information:
- The available in vivo data on this endpoint is consistent within the group. Two in vivo eye irritation studies are available on two of the substances. The effects seen, such as redness in conjunctiva and cornea, were reversible and mild, therefore not generating any classification. Using this data for read across within the group would be extrapolating data to the extremes of the group. In order to support this read across, in vitro eye irritation studies on all the four substances were performed, both in EpiOcular and Isolated Chicken Eye test. Also the in vitro tests results were consistent within the group, indicating a mild to irritating results. There is no possibility to evaluate the reversibility of the effects seen in in vitro studies. The in vitro tests EpiOcular and Isolated chicken eye tests are considered to over-predict the actual eye irritation potential of the substance shown in the rabbit tests. The effects in the in vitro studies are mild, and do not indicate Cat 1 classification for eye irritation. Currently in vivo data is required in order to classify eye irritation Cat 2. The weight of evidence from the available eye irritation data on this group of substances indicates no classification for eye irritation.

- Remarks:
- Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: OECD GHS
- Conclusions:
- The results of this study indicate that the test material may have little irritant effect in the eye. The composition of the test material is estimated to be 40% active ingredient (incl NaCl) and 60 % water. The active ingredient is Amines, N-[3-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]propyl]-N’-(C16-18 and C18-unsatd. alkyl)trimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium salts (CAS no 2060541-47-9). The response observed appears to have been in an unusually sensitive animal. The animals were only observed for 72 hours and therefore it can not be judges if the effects are reversible within 21 days. However after 72 hours compared with the 24 reading the severity of the effects had decreased some in the affected animal. The active ingredient Amines, N-[3-[(3-aminopropyl)amino]propyl]-N’-(C16-18 and C18-unsatd. alkyl)trimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium salts (CAS no 2060541-47-9) may not be classified as an irritant to the eye according to GHS.
- Executive summary:
According to methods similar to OECD and under GLP 0.1 ml aliquots of the test material were instilled into the right eye of each of six rabbits, the other eye remaining untreated as a control. The irritation produced in the treated eye of all rabbits was assessed 24, 48 and 72 hours after dosing. 24 hours after dosing iris inflammation and severe conjunctival irritation were apparent in one rabbit of the group, no response to treatment being observed in other , animals o f the group. Moderate conjunctival irritation was maintained by the one rabbit throughout the study.

- Within 2 hours after kill, eyes were carefully dissected and placed in a superfusion apparatus using the following procedure: First the eye-lids were carefully removed without damaging the cornea and a small drop of Fluorescein sodium 2.0% w/v (Minims, Chauvin, England) was applied to the corneal surface for a few seconds and subsequently rinsed off with isotonic saline at ambient temperature. Next, the head with the fluorescein-treated cornea was examined with a slit-lamp microscope (Slit-lamp 900 BP, Haag-Streit AG, Liebefeld-Bern, Switzerland) to ensure that the cornea was not damaged. If undamaged (e.g., fluorescein retention and corneal opacity scores of ≤ 0.5), the eye was further dissected from the head without damaging the eye or cornea. Care was taken to remove the eye-ball from the orbit without cutting off the optical nerve too short.
The enucleated eye was placed in a stainless steel clamp with the cornea positioned vertically and transferred to a chamber of the superfusion apparatus (Triskelion, Zeist, the Netherlands; see Figure 1). The clamp holding the eye was positioned in such a way that the entire cornea was supplied with isotonic saline from a bent, stainless steel tube, at a target rate of 0.10-0.15 mL/min (peristaltic pump set at speed 5.00, Watson-Marlow 205CA, Rotterdam, the Netherlands). The chambers of the superfusion apparatus as well as the saline were temperature controlled at approximately 32oC (water pump set at 36.4oC; Lauda 103, Germany).
After placing in the superfusion apparatus, the eyes were examined again with the slit-lamp microscope to ensure that they were not damaged. Corneal thickness was measured using the Depth Measuring Attachment No. I for the Haag-Streit slit-lamp microscope, set at 0.095 mm.
Corneal thickness was expressed in instrument units. An accurate measurement was taken at the corneal apex of each eye.
Eyes with a corneal thickness deviating more than 10% of the average corneal thickness of the eyes, eyes showing opacity (score higher than 0.5), or were unacceptably stained with fluores-cein (score higher than 0.5) indicating the cornea to be permeable, or eyes that showed any other signs of damage, were rejected as test eyes and replaced.
Each eye provided its own baseline values for corneal swelling, corneal opacity and fluorescein retention. For that purpose, after an equilibration period of 45-60 minutes, the corneal thickness of the eyes was measured again to determine the zero reference value for corneal swelling calculations.
At time t = 0 (i.e. immediately after the zero reference measurement), the following procedure was applied for each test eye: The clamp holding the test eye was placed on paper tissues outside the chamber with the cornea facing upwards.
The isolated chicken eyes were exposed to a single application of 30 μL test substance for 10 seconds followed by a 20 mL saline rinse. After rinsing, each eye in the holder was returned to its chamber. The eyes were examined at approximately 0, 30, 75, 120, 180 and 240 minutes after treatment, using the criteria and scoring system given in Annex 1. Fluorescein retention was only scored at approximately 30 minutes after treatment. All examinations were carried out with the slit-lamp microscope. After the final examination, the test substance treated eyes, the negative and positive control eyes were preserved in a neutral aqueous phosphate-buffered 4% solution of formaldehyde. The corneas were embedded in paraffin wax, sectioned at ca 4 μm and stained with PAS (Periodic Acid-Schiff). The microscopic slides were subjected to histopathological examination. - Irritation parameter:

- Executive summary:
Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts with CAS number 2060541-51-5), Coco iminodiglycinate (Amines, N-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, reaction products with chloroacetic acid, sodium salts with CAS number 2098351-38-1) and Sodium oleylamphopolycarboxyglycinate (1,3-Propanediamine, N1-(3-aminopropyl)-N3-[3-[(9Z)-9-octadecen-1-ylamino]propyl]-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium salts with CAS number 2060541 -49 -1) were evaluated neat for eye irritation potential in the Isolated Chicken Eye (ICE) test. The isolated chicken eyes were exposed to a single application of 30 μL for 10 seconds followed by a 20 mL saline rinse. Three main parameters were measured to disclose possible adverse eye effects: corneal thickness (expressed as corneal swelling), corneal opacity and fluorescein retention of damaged epithelial cells. In addition, histopathology of the corneas was performed.
Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium saltsCAS number with 2060541-51-5), Coco iminodiglycinate (Amines, N-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, reaction products with chloroacetic acid, sodium salts with CAS number 2098351-38-1)and Sodium oleylamphopolycarboxyglycinate (1,3-Propanediamine, N1-(3 -aminopropyl)-N3-[3-[(9Z)-9-octadecen-1-ylamino]propyl]-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium salts with CAS number 2060541 -49 -1) caused corneal effects leading to a Category 2/2B classification, consisting of very slight or slight corneal swelling (range of mean scores 8-12%), slight-to-moderate or moderate opacity (range mean scores 1.5-2.0) and slight-to-moderate fluorescein retention (mean score 1.5). The opacity and fluorescein were observed as focal areas. Microscopic examination of the corneas treated with Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate revealed very slight erosion with slight necrosis of the epithelium. Microscopic examination of the corneas treated with Coco iminodiglycinate revealed very slight erosion and very slight or slight vacuolation (top region) of the epithelium. Microscopic examination of the corneas treated with Sodium oleylamphopolycarboxyglycinate revealed very slight erosion and slight vacuolation (top region) of the epithelium.
According to the AISE histopathology criteria, upgrading of the classifications of the samples to Category 1 on basis of the histopathology of the corneas is not required.
The negative control eye did not show any corneal effect and demonstrated that the general conditions during the tests were adequate. Microscopic examination did not reveal any abnormalities. The positive control BAC 5% caused severe corneal effects and demonstrated the ICE test valid to detect severe eye irritants. Microscopic examination of the corneas treated with the positive control BAC 5% revealed slight, moderate or severe erosion and very slight or slight vacuolation (top, mid or low region) of the epithelium and the epithelium partly detached from the basement membrane.
Applying the classification criteria of the ICE, the following irritation classifications can be assigned:
Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium saltsCAS number:2060541-51-5), Coco iminodiglycinate (Amines, N-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, reaction products with chloroacetic acid, sodium salts withCAS number 2098351-38-1)and Sodium oleylamphopolycarboxyglycinate (1,3-Propanediamine, N1-(3 -aminopropyl)-N3-[3-[(9Z)-9-octadecen-1-ylamino]propyl]-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium salts withCAS number 2060541 -49 -1)
- Category 2B:“Mild irritant/causes eye irritation” (UN-GHS classification);
- Category 2:“Irritating to eyes” (EU-CLP classification).
Although there is no current regulatory acceptance to use this result to classify a substance as eye irritation Category 2/2B), the proposed classifications are deemed appropriate.

*Blistering of conjunctival-membranes
Slit-lamp examination
Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate, Coco iminodiglycinate and Sodium oleylamphopolycarboxyglycinate caused corneal effects leading to a Category 2/2B classification, consisting of very slight or slight corneal swelling (range of mean scores 8-12%),
slight-to-moderate or moderate opacity (range mean scores 1.5-2.0) and slight-to-moderate fluorescein retention (mean score 1.5). The opacity and fluorescein were observed as focal areas.
The negative control eye did not show any corneal effect and demonstrated that the general conditions during the tests were adequate.
The positive control Benzalkonium Chloride 5% caused severe corneal effects and demonstrated the ICE test valid to detect severe eye irritants.
Microscopic examination
Microscopic examination of the corneas treated with Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate revealed very slight erosion with slight necrosis of the epithelium.
Microscopic examination of the corneas treated with Coco iminodiglycinate revealed very slight erosion and very slight or slight vacuolation (top region) of the epithelium.
Microscopic examination of the corneas treated with Sodium oleylamphopolycarboxyglycinate revealed very slight erosion and slight vacuolation (top region) of the epithelium.
According to the AISE histopathology criteria, upgrading of the classifications of the samples to Category 1 on basis of the histopathology of the corneas is not required. Microscopic examination of the cornea treated with the negative control (saline) did not reveal any abnormalities. Microscopic examination of the corneas treated with the positive control Benzalkonium Chloride 5% revealed slight, moderate or severe erosion and very slight or slight vacuolation (top, mid or low region) of the epithelium and the epithelium partly detached from the basement membrane.

Additional information
Skin irritation / corrosion
The available data on this endpoint is consistent within the group. Reliable in-vivo skin corrosion/irritation studies are available on the two substances with the shortest alkyl chain [Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, reaction products with chloroacetic acid, sodium saltswith CAS no2098351-38-1) and Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts withCAS no2060541-51-5)], as well as the substance with the longest alkyl chain [Sodium oleylamphopolycarboxyglycinate (1,3-Propanediamine, N1-(3-aminopropyl)-N3-[3-[(9Z)-9-octadecen-1-ylamino]propyl]-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium saltswith CAS no 2060541-49-1)], showing no skin irritating properties. This data is backed up with in-vitro studies on the smallest (shortest alky, lowest number amine and carboxymethylated groups,CAS no2098351-38-1) as well as the biggest structure (longest alkyl-unsaturated, highest number amine and carboxymethylated groups, CAS no 2060541-49-1) within the amphoteric, glycinate group. Interpolation of the data within the group is therefore possible. Both the in-vitro data as well as the in-vivo skin irritation tests indicates low skin irritating properties. All the tests are performed on the technical products (a.i. 40 % aqueous solutions). The neat substances may potentially have more irritating properties. This would be in line with the QSAR models estimating the skin irritating properties on the pure substances to be mildly irritating. But as the substances exclusively are produced, handled and marketed as water based solutions, it is not considered relevant to test the neat substances.
Eye irritation / corrosion
Two in-vivo eye irritation studies are available on two of the amphoteric, glycinate substances:Sodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts withCAS no2060541-51-5) and Sodium tallowamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-[3-[(3-aminopro yl)amino]propyl]-N’-(C16-18 and C18-unsatd. alkyl)trimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl) derivs., sodium salts with CAS no2060541-47-9). The effects seen, such as redness in conjunctiva and cornea, were reversible and mild, therefore not generating any classification. Using this data for read across within the group would be extrapolating data to the extremes of the group. In order to support this read across in-vitro eye irritation studies on all the four substances were performed, both in EpiOcular and Isolated Chicken Eye test. Also the in-vitro tests results were consistent within the group, indicating a mild to irritating results. There is no possibility to evaluate the reversibility of the effects seen in in-vitro studies. The in-vitro tests EpiOcular and Isolated chicken eye tests are considered to over-predict the actual eye irritation potential of the substance shown in the rabbit tests. The effects in the in-vitro studies are mild, and do not indicate Cat 1 classification for eye irritation. Currently in-vivo data is required in order to classify eye irritation Cat 2. The weight of evidence from the available eye irritation data on this group of substances indicates no classification for eye irritation.
