Endpoint summary

Description of key information
It is not expected that Zn-phtholocyanine is absorbed after ingestion. Therefore, no hazard is expected for oral exposure.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Additional information
A lot of publications focus on the use of Zn-phthalocyanine as a photosensitizing agent for tumor treatment. For such applications, intravenous injection is applied indicating that oral dosing does not lead to systemic availability. This is supported by experimental data on Cu-phtholocyanine. Both substances are highly insoluble in water (< 0.06 mg/L) and have a molecular weight of above 500 g/mol.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
