Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
For all of the four substances within the amphoteric glycinate substance group there are available acute oral toxicity data. The endpoint data covers the smallest (shortest alky, lowest number amine and carboxymethylated groups, CAS no 2098351-38-1) as well as the biggest structure (longest alkyl-unsaturated, highest number amine and carboxymethylated groups, CAS no 2060541-49-1) within the group. The studies have been performed under GLP and according to current OECD 401 guideline. In all of the studies the maximum dose tested was 5000 mg/kg bw on the technical products. As the technical products consists of approximately 40 % active ingredient, it is estimated that doses corresponding to 2000 mg a.i./kg bw were tested. The LD50 values are therefore considered to be > 2000 mg a.i./kg bw and no classification for acute oral toxicity is therefore required according to CLP.
No toxic effects were seen within this dose range for any of the tested substances. This is also in line with the QSAR predictions available on this group of structures. ACD ToxSuite indicates LD50 values > 2000 mg/kg bw for all of the four substances. Within a category of structures the acute toxicity is decreased for longer chain lengths, but increased for alkyl chains with higher unsaturation. This is also predicted by the QSAR models.

- Conclusions:
- The results of this study indicate that the test material has no toxic effect when administered as a single oral dose to the rat at a dose level of 5000mg/kg body weight. The composition of the test material is estimated to be 40% active ingredient (incl NaCl) and 60 % water. Therefore, based on active ingredient, the tested dose level is considered to be 2000mg/kg body weight based on Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts (CAS no 2060541-51-5). Under the conditions of this study the LD50 > 2000 mg/kg bw.
- Executive summary:
A study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test material to the rat. The method followed was that described in EEC Methods for the determination of toxicity, Annex to Directive 92169lEEC (OJ No. L383A, 29.12.92), Part B, Method B. 1. Acute toxicity (oral). A group of ten fasted rats (five males and five females) was given a single dose by gavage of the test substance, as supplied, at a dose level of 5.0 g/kg bodyweight. All animals were killed and examined macroscopically on Day 15, the end of the observation period.
There were no deaths. Clinical signs of reaction to treatment consisted of piloerection, abnormal body carriage and pallor of the extremities, recovery was complete by Day 2. All rats achieved anticipated bodyweight gains throughout the study. No abnormalities were recorded at the macroscopic examination on Day 15. Based on the active ingredient of the test material, the LD50 > 2000 mg a.i./kg bw for the Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts (CAS no 2060541-51-5).

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- LD50
- Value:
- 2 000 mg/kg bw
- Quality of whole database:
- The available study on Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts (CAS no 2060541-51-5), is performed according the available guidelines, under GLP and is considered acceptable for classification and labelling purposes being of reliability rating 2. Certificate of analysis is not included in the report, but composition of the product is considered to be well known. Also the data on the other three substances within the same group indicates the same lack of toxicity and this is also in line with the QSAR predictions available on this group of structures.

Additional information
Acute dermal toxicity
Based on molecular profiling, dermal absorption is expected to be (much) lower than oral. Taking together the low acute oral toxicity profile within the amphoteric, glycinate group of substances, and the expected low dermal absorption, it is not considered justified from an animal well-fare perspective to perform any additional acute dose toxicity studies.
Acute inhalation toxicity
The measured vapour pressure data on the freeze-dried triamine based amphoteric, glycinate with the shortest alkyl chain(Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts with CAS number 2060541-51-5)is available and used for the entire group. This value is low and also considered to be a worst case compared to the vapour pressure for the aqueous solutions of the substances which are manufactured, used and put on the marked. Taking together the low acute oral toxicity profile within this group of substances and the low vapour pressure of the aqueous technical product in combination with the low potential for aerosol formation, it is not considered justified from an animal well-fare perspective to perform any additional acute dose toxicity studies.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The conclusion from the available studies within the group of substances, is thatSodium cocoamphopolycarboxyglycinate (Amines, N-(3-aminopropyl)-N’-C12-18-alkyltrimethylenedi-, N-(carboxymethyl)derivs., sodium salts with CAS no 2060541-51-5) and the other three substances within the amphoteric, glycinate substane group, are not to be classified for acute toxicity according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008.
