REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
In this justification, the read-across (bridging) concept is applied. Please refer to a full version of Read-across statement attached in the section 13 "Assessment reports".

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The underlying hypothesis for the read-across is that the target and the source substance have similar toxicological properties (including the same target organs) due to their structural similarity, resemblance to their chemical reactivity, and therefore a similar mode of action.
The source substance ‘Mixture of 1,3-diisopropylbenzene and 1,4-diisopropylbenzene' is a mixture of structural isomers, 1,3- diisopropylbenzene and 1,4-diisopropylbenzene (target substance). The physico-chemical properties are highly equivalent based on the high structural similarity. As a conclusion, it is scientifically justified to address the endpoint Genetic toxicity with data on this mixture of isomers.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES (if applicable):
Diisopropylbenzene was tested with a ratio of about 3 in the range of 50.0 to 5000 μg/plate. As a result, in the S9 mix-free test, antimicrobial activity was observed at 5000 μg/plate for WP2 uvrA and at all doses for the other test bacteria. In the S9 mix addition test, antimicrobial properties were observed for WP2 uvrA at 500 μg/plate or more and for the other test bacteria at more than 150 μg/plate.
Therefore, the highest dose in this study was 5000 μg/plate for WP2 uvrA and 50.0 μg/plate for other test bacteria for S9 mix-free test. In the S9 mix addition test, WP2 uvrA was tested up to 625 μg/plate, and for the other test bacteria, 200 μg/plate was used.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES (if applicable):
In order to determine the treatment concentration of the test substance used in the chromosomal abnormality test, the effect of the test substance on cell proliferation was examined. The inhibitory effect of the test substance on CHL/IU cells compared to the solvent control was measured using a monocellater TM, Olympus Optical Industry Co., Ltd. As a result, the concentration of 50 % inhibition of cell proliferation in continuous treatment was 0.03 mg/mL. In addition, both in the presence and absence of S9 mix in the short-term treatment were 0.06 mg/mL. The maximum treatment concentration in each series was twice the 50 % cell growth inhibitory concentration, and the other treatment concentrations were set at the ratio of 2.

STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle negative and positive control data

Chromosome aberration test (CA) in mammalian cells:
- Results from cytotoxicity measurements:
Short-term treatment -S9: >= 0.015 mg/mL
Short-term treatment +S9: no cytotoxicity up to 0.015 mg/mL
Continuous treatment -S9: >= 0.03 mg/mL

Conclusions:
Test item m-Diisopropylbenzene (m-DIPB) is considered to be non-mutagenic in the in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation assay (thymidine kinase locus) in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells.
Executive summary:

 


The genetic toxicity test - an in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation assay (thymidine kinase locus) in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells - was performed originally according to OECD guideline 476 (the test method used fully corresponds to the new OECD Guideline 490, which was issued in 2015), EU method B.17 and EPA OPPTS 870.5300 with GLP compliance. 


The test item m-Diisopropylbenzene (m-DIPB) - a structural analogue of p-DIPB) was assessed for its potential to induce mutations at the mouse lymphoma thymidine kinase locus using the cell line L5178Y.


The selection of the concentrations used in the main experiments was based on data from a pre-experiments.


In experiment I 3.00 mM (with metabolic activation) and 0.50 mM (without metabolic activation) were selected as the highest concentrations.


In experiment II 0.40 mM (with metabolic activation) and 0.20 mM (without metabolic activation) were selected as the highest concentrations.


Experiment I with and without metabolic activation and experiment II without metabolic activation were performed as a 4h short-term exposure assay.


Experiment II without metabolic activation was performed as a 24 h long-term exposure assay.


The test item was investigated at the following concentrations:


Experiment I


with metabolic activation: 0.10, 0.20, 0.40, 0.80, 1.20, 1.60, 2.00, 2.40, 2.80 and 3.00 mM and


without metabolic activation: 0.05, 0.08, 0.10, 0.15, 0.20, 0.30, 0.40 and 0.50 mM


Experiment II


with metabolic activation: 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.1 0, 0.20, 0.30, 0.35 and 0.40 mM and


without metabolic activation: 0.002, 0.005, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05, 0.10, 0.15 and 0.20 mM


Precipitation of the test item was noted in the pre-experiment I with and without metabolic activation at a concentration of 2.4 mM and higher. In the experiments I and II with and without metabolic activation and in the pre-experiment II without metabolic activation no precipitation was noted.


Growth inhibition was observed in experiment I and II with and without metabolic activation.


In experiment I with metabolic activation the relative total growth (RTG) was 12.3 % for the highest concentration (3.00 mM) evaluated. The highest concentration evaluated without metabolic activation was 0.50 mM with a RTG of 21.5 %. In experiment II with metabolic activation the relative total growth (RTG) was 15.7 % for the highest concentration (0.40 mM) evaluated. The highest concentration evaluated without metabolic activation was 0.20 mM with a RTG of 7.9 %.


In experiment I and II no biologically relevant increase of mutants was found after treatment with the test item (with and without metabolic activation). The Global Evaluation Factor (GEF; defined as the mean of the negative/vehicle mutant frequency plus one standard deviation; data gathered from ten laboratories) was not exceeded by the induced mutant frequency at any concentration.


No dose-response relationship was observed.


Additionally, in experiment I and II colony sizing showed no clastogenic effects induced by the test item under the experimental conditions (with and without metabolic activation).


EMS, MMS and B[a]P were used as positive controls and showed distinct and biologically relevant effects in mutation frequency. Additionally, MMS and B[a]P significantly increased the number of small colonies, thus proving the efficiency of the test system to indicate potential clastogenic effects.


In conclusion, in the described mutagenicity test under the experimental conditions reported, the test item meta-DiisopropyIbenzene (m-DIPB) is considered to be non-mutagenic in the in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation assay (thymidine kinase locus) in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells.


Based on the arguments presented in the Read Across statement attached in IUCLID Section 13, it is clear that the source substance, 1.3-diisopropylbenzene, which is the structural isomer of the target substance, shows an identical toxicokinetic pattern. As such, the data presented here could be used to fulfil lthe information requirements for the target substance 1.4-diisopropylbenzene.
