- 1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The read-across is performed between two forms of the same substance. The identities of the two forms are describe below.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
The source form is 3,6-bis(4-chlorophenyl)-2,5-dihydropyrrolo[3,4-c]pyrrol-1,4-dione (EC-no. 401-540-3), referred to here as PR254. PR254 is an organic mono-constituent substance with a typical purity of > 99.5% (w/w). It does not contain any impurity relevant for classification or labelling of the substance.
The target form is the nanoform of the source substance, referred to here as PR254 nanoform. As the source form, it has a typical purity of > 99.5% (w/w) and it does not contain any impurity relevant for classification or labelling of the substance. The PR254 nanoform is spheroidal with a pure polyhedral shape and is not surface-treated.
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The two analogue forms have the same structure. Under ambient atmosphere, the specific surface energy of particles increases with decreasing particle size. Therefore, particle aggregate to reach an energy minimum. The driving forces are hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces (π-π interaction). Substantial energy is required to disperse the PR254 nanoform aggregates to particles that fall under the nanoform definition.
PR254 was been tested extensively addressing information requirements of Annexes VII to IX without identifying any biological target. PR254 nanoform could potentially have biological targets due to the different particle size distribution, which would require processes capable of dispersing the aggregates, e.g. in aqueous milieu. However, both forms have been tested according to OECD Test Guideline 318, demonstrating that PR254 nanoform cannot be dispersed under the condition of the study, i.e. immediately after sonification re-forms aggregates. Also, PR254 aggregates to a large extent, but can be more easily dispersed than the nanoform. The experiments demonstrated that exposure in aqueous milieu will be primarily to aggregates, regardless of the PR254 form.
Therefore, it is concluded that both forms will behave identically in studies, in which they are applied under atmospheric conditions and/or in aqueous milieus, so that for the PR254 nano-form no specific biological targets need to be considered.
Physico-chemical properties
Most physico-chemical properties (PCP) are inherent properties of a substance, which are not affected by the substance form. In addition, many PCP are determined starting the experimental procedure under ambient conditions, at which both forms have a similar particle size distribution. Therefore, the water solubility will also be similar and the read-across from the source to the target form is scientifically justified.
