Additional information
Justification for read-across
Data on the acute oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity of Lauric acid ester with hydroxypropanediyl diacetate (CAS 30899-62-8) are not available. The assessment of acute toxicity was therefore based on studies conducted with source substances as part of a read across approach, which is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).
Acute oral toxicity
CAS 91052-13-0
The acute oral toxicity of Glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. mono- and di-, acetates, was assessed in a study performed according to OECD guideline 423 and under GLP conditions (Otterdijk, 2010a). A total of 3 female Wistar rats were exposed to a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw in a stepwise procedure (3 rats per step). No mortality was observed up to the end of the 14-day observation period. Hunched posture and/or piloerection were noted in all females on Day 1 of the observation period. All animals showed the expected gain in body weights during the study and necropsy revealed no substance-related findings. Based on the results, the oral LD50 value for female Sprague Dawley rats is > 2000 mg/kg bw. In accordance with OECD guideline 423, the oral LD50 cut-off of the test substance is considered to be 5000 mg/kg bw.
CAS 97593-30-1
A study was conducted according to OECD guideline 423 (acute toxic class method) and under GLP conditions to assess the acute oral toxicity potential of C12: Glycerides, C8-21 and C8-21-unsatd., mono- and di-, acetates (Gillissen, 2008). A total of 6 female HsdCpb:Wu rats were administered a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. In two sequential steps, 3 animals each received formulations of test substance in corn oil via gavage. During the study period, no animals died and no clinical signs were observed. The body weights were not affected by treatment and no substance-related findings were noted during the necropsy at study termination. Therefore, the oral LD50 value for rats is > 2000 mg/kg bw. In accordance with OECD guideline 423, the oral LD50 cut-off of the test substance is considered to be 5000 mg/kg bw.
Acute inhalation toxicity
CAS 73398-61-5
The acute inhalation toxicity of triglycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl was assessed according to OECD guideline 403 and in compliance with GLP (Reminghaus, 1976). A group of 10 male rats was exposed to a calculated concentration of 28.1 µL/L air (undiluted test substance) for 6 h using a nose-only exposure system. The measured respirable test substance concentration was 1.97 µl/L (particles with a diameter below 10 µm), corresponding to an atmosphere concentration of the test aerosol of 1.86 mg/L. This was considered to be the maximum attainable concentration of respirable particles. 10 male control animals were sham-exposed. No mortality and no clinical signs of toxicity were observed in any of the animals during exposure, or during the 14-day observation period. The body weight was not affected during the study. At necropsy, no abnormalities were noted. Microscopic examination did not reveal any abnormal findings in lungs or tracheae and no deposits of the oily test substance in the respiratory tissues were detected. Based on these results, the LC50 value for male rats is > 1.86 mg/L air (analytical) for 6-h exposure. It is possible to extrapolate the result to a 4-h exposure period, according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and the ECHA ‘Guidance on information requirements and chemical safety assessment Chapter R.7a: Endpoint specific guidance’ (2015):
Applying Haber’s Law (Cnx t = k), with a conservative default n = 3, (1.863 [mg/L] x 6 h = c [mg/L] x 4h) a time-extrapolated LC50 value of > 9.65 mg/L is reached.
Acute dermal toxicity
CAS 91052-13-0
The acute dermal toxicity of Glycerides, C8-18 and C18-unsatd. mono- and di-, acetates was investigated in a limit test performed according to OECD guideline 402 and under GLP conditions (Otterdijk, 2010b). 2000 mg/kg bw test substance dissolved in polyethylene glycol at a concentration of 200 mg/mL was applied to the shaved skin of 5 Wistar Crl:WI (Han) rats/sex (10 mL/kg bw) for 24 h under occlusive conditions. After exposure, residual test substance was removed and animals were observed for a period of 14 days. No mortality occurred and the body weight gain during the study period of the animals was within the normal range for this species and strain. Flat posture was noted in all animals on Day 1. On the same day, chromodacryorrhoea was observed in 3/5 males and in 2/5 females. Ptosis was seen in 2/5 males and in 4/5 females, and 3/5 females showed restless behaviour on Day 1. Scales and scabs of the right flank and/or treated skin were observed among 3/5 males and 1/5 females between Days 4 and 15. At necropsy, no substance-related findings were noted. Therefore, the LD50 in male and female rats is > 2000 mg/kg bw.
CAS 736150-63-3
The dermal effects of Glycerides, castor-oil mono, hydrogenated, acetates were investigated in an acute dermal toxicity study performed according to OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (Ott, 2003). 2000 mg/kg bw of the test substance in corn oil (0.5 g/mL) was applied to the shaved skin of 5 HanBrl: WIST rats/sex for 24 h under semi-occlusive conditions. After the exposure period, residual test substance was removed and the animals were observed for a period of 14 days. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs were observed during the observation period. Male and female rats showed the expected gain in body weight. At necropsy, no substance-related findings were observed. No local skin effects were reported. The dermal LD50 value for male and female rats is considered to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Overall conclusion for acute toxicity
The reliable data available for the source substances indicate a very low level of acute toxicity following the oral, inhalation and dermal route, as LD50 values were greater than the currently applied limit values. The LC50 value was the maximum attainable concentration. Therefore, as the available data did not identify any hazard for acute toxicity, Lauric acid ester with hydroxypropanediyl diacetate is not expected to be hazardous following acute exposure.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from a structural analogue. The selected study is most adequate and reliable based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substance and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from a structural analogue. The selected study is most adequate and reliable based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substance and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from a structural analogue. The selected study is most adequate and reliable based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substance and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to Lauric acid ester with hydroxypropanediyl diacetate (CAS 30899-62-8), data will be generated from information available on reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.
Therefore, based on the analogue read-across approach, the available data on acute toxicity do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
