Skin sensitization
In different studies, pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0) has been investigated for potential of skin sensitization to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in guinea pig and human for target chemical pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0) and its structurally similar read across substancesphenethyl butyrate (CAS No: 103-52-6 )andBenzyl propionate (122-63-4) the predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data of read across.
The skin sensitization potential of pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0) was estimated by SSS (2017) using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the six closest read across substances pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0) was predicted to be not sensitizing to the skin of female Pirbright-Hartley guinea pig.
Prediction done using the Danish (Q) SAR Database, the skin sensitization was estimated to be negative on guinea pig and human for estimated Pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0). Using Battery algorithm model of Danish QSAR, Allergic Contact Dermatitis for Pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0) estimated to be not sensitizing when applied to human and guinea pig skin.
Supported by experimental study conducted by D. McGinty, C.S. Letizia, A.M. Api (Food and Chemical Toxicology, 50 (2012) S398–S401) to evaluate the skin sensitizing potential of read across substance phenethyl butyrate (CAS No: 103-52-6) in human. A human maximization assay was conducted to evaluate the sensitization potential of phenethyl butyrate (CAS No: 103-52-6). The assay was carried out with 8% (5520µg/cm2) phenethyl butyrate in petrolatum on 25 healthy male and female volunteers. Application was under occlusion to the same site on the forearm or back of all subjects for five alternate day 48 h periods. The patch sites were pre-treated for 24 h with 2.5% or 5% aqueous sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) under occlusion. Following a 10 day rest period, challenge patches were applied to fresh sites on the back for 48 h under occlusion. The challenge site was pre-treated for 1 h with 5–10% SLS. The challenge patches were applied to fresh sites on the back for 48 h under occlusion. The challenge site was evaluated at 48 and 72 h.No reaction was observed in any human volunteers during the assay. Therefore Phenethyl butyrate phenethyl butyrate (CAS No: 103-52-6) was considered to be not sensitizing to human skin.
Also it is further Supported by experimental study conducted by D.L.J. Opdyke(Food and Cosmetics Toxicology. Vol. 13, Pg. 723, 1975) to evaluate the skin sensitizing potential of read across substance Benzyl propionate (122-63-4) in human. In skin sensitization study, 25 volunteers were tested by maximization test at a concentration of 4% in petrolatum. No reaction was observed therefore, the Benzyl propionate (122-63-4) was considered to be not sensitizing to humans.
Thus based on the above predictions on pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0) as well as its read across and applying weight of evidence, it can be concluded that pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0) is not a skin sensitizer. Thus comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, pentyl 2-phenylacetate (5137-52-0) can be considered as not classified for skin sensitization.
