Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- repeated dose toxicity: oral
- Remarks:
- other: Read across from in vivo data
- Type of information:
- migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Because these substances exhibit similarity in their physicochemical properties and toxicological properties in mammals, and because available data indicates that parent molecules are not reactive toward biological molecules and cannot undergo bioactivation by normal enzymatic processes, they can be considered to constitute a chemical category. Data gaps for partitioning properties, mammalian and ecological toxicity can therefore be addressed by read-across and/or trend analysis between category members.

Any other information on results incl. tables
PTBA is a member of the Perfluorinated Organic Chemicals, C5-C18, category. All of these chemicals stem from the same manufacturing process, have similar physicochemical properties including high vapor pressure and low water solubility relative to the hydrocarbon analogs (e.g., hexanes v. perfluorohexanes), and also lack any chemically reactive groups, which forms the technical basis for the category. Members of this category are fully fluorinated, meaning that fluorine, rather than hydrogen, is bonded to all carbon atoms in the molecule. Fluorine is the most electronegative of the elements (fluorine has an electronegativity of 3.98 on the Pauling scale, as compared to 2.55 for carbon or 2.20 for hydrogen). This electronegativity is expected to dominate over all other aspects of substance chemistry and is the underlying basis for similarity of substances in this category. Because these substances exhibit similarity in their physicochemical properties and toxicological properties in mammals, and because available data indicates that parent molecules are not reactive toward biological molecules and cannot undergo bioactivation by normal enzymatic processes, they can be considered to constitute a chemical category. Data gaps for partitioning properties, mammalian and ecological toxicity can therefore be addressed by read-across and/or trend analysis between category members.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The category has a No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of greater than 1000 mg/kg/day.
- Executive summary:
A 28 day oral toxicity study was performed with male and female rats on category members. Rats were dosed with category members once daily by oral gavage. Clinical observations were recorded for all animals daily through the treatment period. Gross necropsy was performed on all animals following the treatment period. No mortality or histopathologic abnormalities were observed due to treatment in any study. Based on these results the category members have a No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) of greater than 1000 mg/kg/day.
Because these substances exhibit similarity in their physicochemical properties and toxicological properties in mammals, and because available data indicates that parent molecules are not reactive toward biological molecules and cannot undergo bioactivation by normal enzymatic processes, they can be considered to constitute a chemical category. Data gaps for partitioning properties, mammalian and ecological toxicity can therefore be addressed by read-across and/or trend analysis between category members. The read across is considered reliable with restrictions and the result is suitable for use in Risk Assessment, Classification & Labelling, and PBT Analysis.
