Executive summary:

In an prediction done by SSS (Nagpur, 2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the reproductive toxicity was estimated for p-Methylaminophenol sulphate. No effect was estimated to be observed on the reproductive function. Hence, NOAEL was estimated to be 740 mg/kg bw when male and female Crj: CD(SD) rats were exposed to p-Methylaminophenol sulphate orally.

Reproductive toxicity via oral route

In a prediction done by SSS (Nagpur, 2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the reproductive toxicity was estimated for p-Methylaminophenol sulphate. No effect was estimated to be observed on the reproductive function. Hence, NOAEL was estimated to be 740 mg/kg bw when male and female Crj: CD(SD) rats were exposed to p-Methylaminophenol sulphate orally.

A reproductive and developmental toxicity study of p-Methylaminophenol sulphate was performed in female Sprague Dawley Crl CD (SD) IGS BR rats. The test material in a 0.5% suspension of carboxymethylcellulose were administered in dose concentration 0, 5, 25 or 125 mg/kg bw/day from day 6 through day 19 post-coitum by oral gavage. Animals were checked daily for clinical signs, and food consumption and body weight were recorded at designated intervals during pregnancy. On day 20 post-coitum, the dams were sacrificed and subjected to a macroscopic examination. The gravid uterus was weighed and the fetuses were removed by hysterectomy. The litter parameters like number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, early and late resorptions, dead and live fetuses were recorded. The fetuses were weighed, sexed and subjected to external, soft tissue or skeletal examinations. No treatment-related clinical signs and premature deaths were observed. Relevant maternal changes were only observed at 25 and 125 mg/kg/day where net body weight gain was slightly reduced when compared to controls. No relevant necropsy findings were noted. The litter parameters like number of corpora lutea, implantation sites, early and late resorptions, dead and live fetuses were not affected by treatment with the test item. Also, in fetuses there were no treatment-related malformations or variations in any groups at external, soft tissue or skeletal examinations. Therefore, LOEL for maternal toxicity was considered to be 25 mg/kg/day while the dose-level of 125 mg/kg/day was considered to be the NOAEL for embryo-fetal toxicity when pregnant female Sprague Dawley rats were treated with p-Methylaminophenol sulphate orally.

A combined repeated dose and reproductive/developmental toxicity study was performed to determine the toxic nature of N-Methyl-p-aminophenol sulfate when administered by a dermal route. The study was performed on female Charles River CD rats, where 2 ml/kg dye formulation 7404 or P-26 containing 1% and 0.05% N-methyl-p-aminophenol sulfate, respectively, was applied to the dorso-scapular area. These dye formulations contained other active ingredients in an aqueous solution and were mixed with an equal volume of 6% hydrogen peroxide prior to application. Application was made on gestation days 1, 4, 7, 10, 13, 16 and 19. The animals were observed for clinical signs, body weight changes, dermal irritation if any and food consumption. No dye formulation related toxicity was noted. Changes in female body weights and food consumption were similar for rats in the untreated controls and all dye-treated groups. No irritation or other changes in appearance were noted except for changes in skin and hair color at the site of topical application of the dye formulation. No significant differences in the mean number of corpora lutea, implantation sites and live fetuses, and the sex ratio were observed when compared with the control groups. No differences between groups were seen regarding the number of females exhibiting resorption sites or mean resorptions per pregnancy. No significant changes were observed regarding soft-tissue anomalies between the dye-treated groups and the untreated control groups. Normally occurring skeletal variations were present in all groups; the most frequent variation noted was accessory ribs. Therefore, NOAEL for N-Methyl-p-aminophenol sulfate in the maternal generation and the F1 generation of Charles River CD rats was considered to be 11.47 mg/kg for formulation 7404 and 0.5735 mg/kg for formulation P26, when both formulations contained the target compound.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on a (Q)SAR prediction and available experimental data of the target chemical, N-Methyl-p-aminophenol sulfate is not regarded as toxic for reproductive toxicity since no effects were noted on any reproductive parameters. In addition, no embryotoxicity or teratogenic effects were presented in the reviewed data and thus the target chemical is not regarded as toxic for developmental toxicity.
