Executive summary:

The acute oral toxicity of the target substance is estimated based on an adequate and reliable in vivo study of the structural analogue source substance propane-1,2,3-triyl trisheptanoate (CAS 620-67-7). The LD50 value determined is > 5 mL/kg bw corresponding to > 4820 mg/kg bw. As explained in the analogue justification, the differences in molecular structure between the target and the source substances are unlikely to lead to differences in acute toxicity. Therefore, a LD50 value of > 4820 mg/kg bw for the target substance is considered for the hazard assessment and C&L purposes.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Quality of whole database:
The available information comprises adequate, reliable (Klimisch score 2) and consistent studies from a reference substance with similar structure and intrinsic properties. Read-across is justified based on common functional group, breakdown products, and similar physico-chemical and toxicological properties (refer to endpoint discussion for further details). The selected study is thus sufficient to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VII, 8.5, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006.

Executive summary:

The acute inhalative toxicity of the target substance is estimated based on an adequate and reliable in vivo study of the structural analogue source substance triglycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl (CAS 73398-61-5). The LC50 value determined after 6 h of exposure (nose only) is > 1.86 mg/L air. As explained in the analogue justification, the differences in molecular structure between the target and the source substances are unlikely to lead to differences in acute toxicity. Therefore, a LC50 value of > 1.86 mg/L air for the target substance is considered for the hazard assessment and C&L purposes.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity

Propane-1,2,3-triyl 2-ethylhexanoate was analyzed for acute oral toxicity in a study similar to OECD guideline 401. Five mice (sex not indicated) received a single oral dose of 4840 mg/kg bw (corresponding to 5 mL/kg bw). No clinical signs of toxicity and no mortality were observed. The acute LD50 in mice was > 4840 mg/kg bw. However, only basic data are given in the study report, therefore further information cannot be provided.

In an acute oral toxicity study with propane-1,2,3-triyl trisheptanoate (CAS 620-67-7), equivalent to OECD guideline 401, 5 male and 5 female Wistar rats were treated with 4820 mg/kg bw by oral gavage. The test compound was administered as single application and the animals were observed for a period of 14 days. No clinical signs of toxicity and no mortality were observed (Consultox, 1974). The acute LD50 in rats was > 4820 mg/kg bw.

 

Acute inhalation toxicity

There are no data available on the acute toxicity of propane-1,2,3-triyl 2-ethylhexanoate by inhalation. In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII, 8.5.2, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 read-across from the structurally related analogue substance glycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl (CAS 73398-61-5) is conducted.

In an acute inhalation toxicity study with glycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl a LC50 of > 1.86 mgL/L air was determined, corresponding to 1.97 µL/L air (INBIFO, 1976). In this study, 10 male Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed (nose-only) to a nominal aerosol concentration of 28.1 µL/L for 6 h; the measured respirable test substance concentration was of 1.97 µL/ L air (particle size < 5-10 µm in diameter), which was the highest attainable concentration. No mortality and no clinical signs were observed during the whole study period. There were no abnormal findings at (histo-) pathological examination.

 

Acute dermal toxicity

There are no data available on the acute toxicity of propane-1,2,3-triyl 2-ethylhexanoate by the dermal route. In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII, 8.5.3, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 read-across from the structurally related analogue substance propane-1,2,3-triyl-trisheptanoate (CAS 620 -67 -7) is conducted.

An LD50 > 2000 mg/kg was determined in a study with propane-1,2,3-triyl-trisheptanoate performed according to OECD guideline 402 (Hüls, 1993a). Five rats per sex were treated with the test substance for 24 h under semiocclusive conditions and were observed for 14 days after exposure. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs, no influence on body weights and no necropsy findings were observed.

 

Conclusion

The available data on the acute toxicity of propane-1,2,3-triyl 2-ethylhexanoate indicate a low oral toxicity with a LD50 of > 4840 mg/kg bw. This was supported by data from structural analogue substances for which low oral, dermal and inhalation toxicity was observed. LD50 values of > 4820 mg/kg bw (oral) and > 2000 mg/kg bw (dermal), and a LC50 > 1.86 mg/L air were observed. In conclusion, the available data on acute toxicity of propane-1,2,3-triyl 2-ethylhexanoate and structural analogue substances indicate that propane-1,2,3-triyl 2-ethylhexanoate is not acutely toxic.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on test substance data and read-across from structurally similar substances, the available data on oral, inhalation and dermal toxicity do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP), and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
