Description of key information
Skin irritation
The dermal irritation potential of target chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) was assessedin various experimental studies which were conducted onrabbits, guinea pigs and humansfor target chemicalMenthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) and its structurally similar read across substances.Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) is unable to cause skin irritation and thus considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
Eye irritation
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the ocular irritation potential of the test chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5). Based on the summarized studies for target chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) and its structurally similar read across substances,it can be concluded that the testchemical is not able to cause eye irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

- Executive summary:
Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the ocular irritation potential of the test chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5). The studies are as mentioned below:
An Unwashed Primary Eye Irritation study was reported in New Zealand White rabbits to assess an eye irritancy of chemical structurally similar read across substance. The 0.1ml of undiluted chemical was installed into the lower conjunctival sac of the left eye of each test animal. The untreated right eye of each rabbits served as a control. The ocular reactions were scored at one, 24, 48 and 72 hours, and at 4 and 7 days after treatment according to Draize system. The left eye of six albino rabbits will be examined 24 to 72 hours prior to instillation of the test material with fluorescein dye solution. Animals showing corneal damage will not be used on the test. After the reading at 24 hours, the eyes of the rabbits were examined with fluorescein dye solution. Any corneal damage was reconfirmed by examination with fluorescein dye solution at subsequent readings. The treated eye of each animal was re-examined at termination using the fluorescein dye solution to confirm the absence or presence of any corneal damage. The chemical induced only conjunctival redness in few treated rabbits with overall irritation score of 0.0 over a period of 7 days. Therefore the test chemical was considered to be not irritating in into the eyes of male and female New Zealand White rabbits using an unwashed procedure.
The above result was supported by the experimental study carried out for anotherstructurally similar read across substanceon rabbits to assess the degree of eye irritancy caused by the chemical according to Draize method.During the test,the test substance was initially applied in 10, 20 and 30 % solution. The eyes of 4 animals were rinsed 1 minute after application with physiological saline, substance remained in the eyes of 4 animals. In a second step animals were treated with concentration of 40, 50 and 60 %. No signs of eye irritation were observed. Hencethe test chemicalwas considered to be not irritating to theeyes of rabbits.
Based on the above summarized studies for target chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) and its structurally similar read across substances,it can be concluded that the testchemical is not able to cause eye irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Additional information
Skin irritation:
Various studieshas been investigated for the test chemicalMenthone (CAS no: 89-80-5)to observe the potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits, guinea pigs and humans for target chemicalMenthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) and its structurally similar read across substances.The predicted data using theDanish QSAR databasehas also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;
The D. L. J. Opdyke (1979) conducted skin irritation studies in humans and rabbits for target chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) as follows;
In human Skin irritation study of Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5), each subject was treated with 8% of Menthone in petrolatum dermally for 48 hours under a closed path patch. No known signs of irritation were observed.
In skin irritation study of Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) conducted on rabbits,each rabbit received neatMenthone on intact and abraded skin for 24 hours under occlusive condition and later observed for skin lesions.The treated rabbits showed mild signs of irritation.
Hence the chemicalMenthone (CAS no: 89-80-5)was considered to be mildly irritating to theintact and abraded skin of rabbits while it was considered as not irritating on human skin.
According to Danish QSAR database , the skin irritation effects were estimated by using four different models i.e, Battery, Leadscope, SciQSAR and CASE Ultra used within for menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) . Based on estimation, no severe skin irritation effects were known when menthone was exposed to rabbit skin. Hence, Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) can be considered not irritating to skin.
The above results were supported by the experimental study carried out by peer reviewed journalfor structurally similar read across substancewhich was conducted on intact and abraded skin of rabbits to assess its skin irritation potential.About 8% ofchemical in petrolatum was applied on theintact and abraded skin of each rabbit for 24 hours under occlusive condition. No signs of skin irritation were observed. Hencethe test chemicalwas considered to be not irritating to theintact and abraded skin of rabbits.
The last study was reported by OECD HPV Chemicals Programme (2003) for anotherstructurally similar read across substanceon guinea pigs which further supports the above mentioned results.During the test, theRacementhol was rubbed into the skin of 20 guinea pigs for 30 s once daily for 5 days (2 x 5 days) under non-occlusive condition. Skin lesions were observed for 14 days.No known signs of skin lesions were observed in treated guinea pigs during the 14 days observation period. Hence the chemicalRacementhol(CAS no: 89-78-1) wasconsidered to benot irritating to theguinea pigs’ skin.
Even though rabbit study indicates that Menthone is mildly irritating to rabbit skin but human data concludes that it is not irritating to human skin. Since, in the rabbit study skin was exposed to higher concentration of Menthone than the normal use, there exists a possibility of Menthone being of not irritating to rabbit skin at lower concentrations. Thus on the basis of the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach,the chemicalMenthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) can be considered to be not irritating to skin. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Based on the above summarized studies for target chemical Menthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) and its structurally similar read across substances,it can be concluded that the testchemical is not able to cause eye irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The skin and eye irritation potential of test chemicalMenthone (CAS no: 89-80-5) and its structurally similar read across substanceswere observed in various studies. The results obtained from these studies indicate that the chemicalMenthoneis unlikely to cause skin and eye irritation. HenceMenthone (CAS no: 89-80-5)can be classified under the category “Not Classified” for skin and eye as per CLP.
