- Additional information:
Various studieshas been investigated for the test chemical6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6)to observe the potential for skin sensitization to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in guinea pigs, mice and humans for target chemical6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6) and its structurally similar read across substancesp-Anisaldehyde (CAS No: 123-11-5) and Vanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5).The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox andDanish QSAR databasehas also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;
The skin sensitization potential of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6) was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor. The substance 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6) was estimated to be not sensitizing to the skin of female CBA mice. Based on the estimated result 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6) can be considered to be not sensitizing to female CBA mice.
According to Danish QSAR database, skin sensitization effects were estimated by using four different models i.e, Battery, Leadscope, SciQSAR and CASE Ultra for 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde. Based on estimation, no skin sensitization reactions were observed in guinea pigs and humans. Therefore, 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde was considered to be non sensitizing.
The G. Klecak (1985) conducted an Open Epicutaneous Test (OET) on guinea pigs to assess the skin sensitization potential ofstructurally similar read across substancep-Anisaldehyde (CAS No: 123-11-5).On day 1 during induction, 0.1 ml of the p-Anisaldehyde was applied at concentrations of 100%, 30%, 10%, 3%, 1%, or 0.3% in vehicle to an area measuring 8 cm2 on the clipped flank skin of the guinea pigs. The applications are repeated daily for 3 weeks or done 5 times weekly during 4 weeks, usually on the same skin sites. The application sites were left uncovered and the reactions, if continuous daily applications were performed, can be read 24 h after each application, or at the end of each week. To determine whether or not contact sensitization was induced, all groups of guinea pigs previously treated for 21 days, as well as 10 untreated, or only pretreated with the vehicle, controls are tested on days 21 and 35 on the contralateral flank with the test material. This test was performed by applying with a pipette 0.025 ml of each concentration to skin areas measuring 2 cm2. The reactions were read after 24,48 and/or 72h. It was observed that none of the guinea pigs induced contact sensitization at challenge concentration of 10%.Thus the chemicalp-Anisaldehyde (CAS No: 123-11-5) was considered to be not sensitizing on skin of guinea pigs at concentration of 10 % in an Open Epicutaneous Test (OET).
The above results were further supported by the Mouse Local Lymphnode Assay conducted by Gerberick GF, Ryan CA, Kern PS, Schlatter H, Dearman RJ, Kimber I, Patlewicz GY, Basketter DA (2005) onstructurally similar read across substanceVanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5).The LLNA was conducted on groups of CBA mice (7-12 weeks of age) by mean of topical application of chemical on the dorsum of both ears at a dose of 25µl or to an equal volume of relevant vehicle (Acetic acid in olive oil (4:1))only. Treatment was performed daily for 3 consecutive days. Five days after initiation of exposure all mice were injected via the tail vein with 250µl of PBS containing 20µCi of tritiatied thymidine. The mice were sacrificed 5 hours later, and draining the auricular lymph nodes were excised and pooled for each experimental group or each individual animal. The incorporation of tritiated thymidine measured by β-scintillation counting and was reported in disintegrations /minute.An SI was calculated as the ratio of disintegrations/minute of the treated group to the disintegrations/minute of the concurrent vehicle control group. A substance was classified skin sensitizer, if at one or more than one concentrations, it induced a three-fold or greater increase in local lymph node proliferative activity when treated with the concurrent vehicle treated controls (SI ≥3) The approach to estimation of the relative skin sensitization potential is based on the mathematical estimation of the concentration of chemical necessary to obtain a threshold positive response (SI = 3); this is termed as the EC3 value.The relative potency index of Vanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5) was not calculated but on the basis of classification system it was considered to be >100. Thus the chemical Vanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5) was considered as non skin sensitizer.
Thus on the basis of available data for thetarget chemical6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6) and its structurally similar read across substancesp-Anisaldehyde (CAS No: 123-11-5) and Vanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5),it can be concluded thatchemical 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6) is unable to cause skin sensitization and considered as non skin sensitizer.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Justification for classification or non-classification
The skin sensitization potential of test substance 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6) and its structurally similar read across substancesp-Anisaldehyde (CAS No: 123-11-5) and Vanillin (CAS No: 121-33-5) were observed in various studies. From the results obtained from these studies it is concluded that the chemical 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (CAS No: 3453-33-6) is not likely to cause skin sensitization and hence can be classified as non skin sensitizer.
