Description of key information

Gene mutation in vitro:

Ames assay:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for pentyl 2-phenylacetate . The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with S9 metabolic activation system. pentyl 2-phenylacetate was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Chromosome aberration:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, chromosomal aberration was predicted for pentyl 2-phenylacetate. The study assumed the use of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line with and without S9 metabolic activation system. pentyl 2-phenylacetate was predicted to not induce chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Additional information

Gene mutation in vitro:

Prediction model based extimation for the target chemical and available data for the read across chemicals have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of pentyl 2-phenylacetate. The summary is as mentioned below:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for pentyl 2-phenylacetate . The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. pentyl 2-phenylacetate was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Gene mutation toxicity was predicted for pentyl 2-phenylacetate using the battery approach from Danish QSAR database (2017). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium bacteria in the Ames test. The end point for gene mutation has been modeled in the Danish QSAR using the three software systems Leadscope, CASE Ultra and SciQSAR. Based on predictions from these three systems, a fourth and overall battery prediction is made. The battery prediction is made using the so called Battery algorithm. With the battery approach it is in many cases possible to reduce “noise” from the individual model estimates and thereby improve accuracy and/or broaden the applicability domain.Gene mutation toxicity study as predicted by Danish QSAR forpentyl 2-phenylacetate is negative and hence the chemical is predicted to not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

In a read across chemical study with 60 -70% structural similarity performed by Mortelmans et al (Environmental Mutagenesis, 1986), Benzyl Acetate (RA CAS no 140 -11 -4) was examined for its ability to cause mutagenic changes when tested in five strains of the bacteria Salmonella typhimurium, specifically, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA97, TA 98 and TA 100 through the preincubation assay method.Preliminary dose range finding study was performed initially to set the doses for the main study. The test was conducted both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation using male rat and hamster liver derived S-9 mix at dose levels of 0, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 3333 or 10000 ug/plate. The test was repeated and atleast three plates were used at each dose level. Benzyl Acetate did not induce mutation in the Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98, TA100, TA1535 or TA1537 both in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to be mutagenic under the conditions of this study.

In another study conducted by Florin et al. (Toxicology, 1980), Benzyl Acetate (RA CAS no 140 -11 -4) having 60 -70% structural similarity was investigated for its ability to induce mutagenic activity when tested in an in vitro reverse mutagenicity test using four strains of the bacteria Salmonella typhimurium, specifically TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537. Spot test was performed for the chemical at dose levels of 0.03, 0.3, 3 and 30 µmol/plate. The study was conducted both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation using S9 mix from Aroclor 1254 or methylcholanthrene induced rats. Benzyl acetate is not mutagenic in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 strains TA 98, TA 100, TA1535 and TA37 with and without S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as gene mutant in vitro.

 

In a gene toxicity test by Sustainability Support Services (2015) for 60 -70% structurally similar read across chemical, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to Methyl phenylacetate (RA CAS no 101 -41 -7) in the concentration of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 or 5.0 mM both with and without metabolic activation for 3 hours. The results showed that there was no evidence of cytotoxicity after treatment. Independently of tested Methyl phenylacetate concentration, the results showed no evidence of gene toxicity. Therefore, it is considered that Methyl phenylacetate in the concentration of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 or 5.0 mM does not cause genetic mutation(s) when CHO cells are exposed to the test chemical in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.

Based on the weight of evidence data available for the target chemical and its read across chemical, pentyl 2-phenylacetate does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the weight of evidence data available for the target chemical and its read across chemical, pentyl 2-phenylacetate (CAS no 5137 -52 -0) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
