REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
In aqueous systems Octanoic acid, compound with dicyclohexylamine (1:1) is hydrolytically very unstable so that in aqueous solution a rapid decomposition to the educts can be observed.The substance will rapidly dissociate to octanoic acid and dicyclohexylamine. Therefore Octanoic acid, compound with dicyclohexylamine (1:1) is not stable at “standard” testing conditions representative for human and environmental exposure. Hence, it is fully justified to apply the read-across methodology by use of the respective data from the breakdown/decomposition products to describe the (eco)toxicological behaviour of the substance to be registered.


2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Source: octanoic acid, dicyclohexylamine
Target: Octanoic acid, compound with dicyclohexylamine (1:1)


3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
The corresponding breakdown products of Octanoic acid, compound with dicyclohexylamine (1:1) were identified by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography - tandem Mass Spectrometer (UPLC-MS) as Octanoic acid and Dicyclohexylamine.
Further evaluation of the hydrolysis time demonstrated that in aqueous solution the decomposition time is smaller than 8 minutes.

Reversible
skin irritation in all animals, moderate sedation, deep respiration, hunched posture
Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The acute dermal toxicity study in rats indicate an LD50 above 2000 mg/kg bw, which is above the LD50 range that may lead to classification in category 4 (1000 to 2000 mg/kg bw).
Executive summary:

The acute dermal toxicity study in rats indicate an LD50 above 2000 mg/kg bw, which is above the LD50 range that may lead to classification in category 4 (1000 to 2000 mg/kg bw).
