Endpoint summary

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide (6410-30-6 ). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide (6410-30-6 )was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Additional information

Gene toxicity in Vitro;

Prediction model based estimation and data from read across chemical have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide (6410-30-6 ). The studies are as mentioned below

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide (6410-30-6 ). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide (6410-30-6 )was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Gene mutation toxicity was predicted for N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide (6410-30-6 ) using the battery approach from Danish QSAR database (2017). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium bacteria in the Ames test. The end point for gene mutation has been modeled in the Danish QSAR using the three software systems Leadscope, CASE Ultra and SciQSAR. Based on predictions from these three systems, a fourth and overall battery prediction is made. The battery prediction is made using the so called Battery algorithm. With the battery approach it is in many cases possible to reduce “noise” from the individual model estimates and thereby improve accuracy and/or broaden the applicability domain.

Gene mutation toxicity study as predicted by N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide is negative and hence the chemical is predicted to not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Lilianne Abramssonet al. (Toxicology Letters, 2002) to determine the mutagenic nature of Cyclopentadecanolide (106-02-5). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. The macrocyclic musk Cyclopentadecanolide was tested for gene toxicity in vitro in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 97, TA 98, and TA 100 both in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. The maximum concentration tested was 1.3mg/plate. The test chemical was dissolved in DMSO. Concurrent positive control chemicals were included in the study. Exactolide® did not induce gene mutation in the Salmonella typhimurium bacterial strains TA 97, TA 98, and TA 100 both in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by H. E. Seifried et.al. (Chem. Res. Toxicol., 2006) to determine the mutagenic nature of 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. The mutagenic potency of 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was tested on theL5178Y TK+/-3.7.C mouse lymphoma cells. The test compound was considered to be non-mutagenic when the mammalian cell was exposed for 4 hrs along with the total expression time of 48 hrs by using test concentration of 1.0– 349 µg/ml The size of mutant mouse lymphoma colonies was determined using an Artek 982 colony counter/size or the Protocol colony counter and the mutant frequencies were expressed as mutants per 106surviving cells.The test compound induces no mutagenic response both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system. Therefore 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was considered to be non mutagenic in mammalian cell. Hence the test substance cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across substance and applying weight of evidence N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide (6410-30-6 ) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Thus based on the above annotation and CLP criteria for target chemical. N-(4-chlorophenyl)-3-hydroxy-4-[(E)-2-(2-methyl-5-nitrophenyl)diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-carboxamide (6410-30-6 ) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
