Ethyl N-hydroxyacetimidate

Endpoint summary

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

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 Ethyl N-hydroxyethanimidoate(10576-12-2). 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. Ethyl N-hydroxyethanimidoate 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. 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.

Additional information

Prediction model based estimation and data from read across chemical have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of ethyl N-hydroxyethanimidoate(10576-12-2). The studies are as mentioned below

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.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (Japan chemicals collaborative knowledge database , 2017)to determine the mutagenic nature of 2-Butanone oxime (96-29-7). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. Genetic toxicity in vitro study was assessed for 2-Butanone oxime. For this purpose Ames test was performed according to Guidelines for Screening Mutagenicity Testing of Chemicals (Japan) and OECD 471,472 .The test material was exposed to Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537, Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation S9. The concentration of test material used in the presence and absence of metabolic activation were0, 313, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate. No mutagenic effects were observed in all strains, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Therefore 2-Butanone oxime was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537, Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA by Ames test. Hence the substance cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. Genetic toxicity in vitro study was assessed for 2-Amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol. For this purpose AMES test was performed according to Guidelines for Screening Mutagenicity Testing of Chemicals (Japan) and OECD 471.The test material was exposed to Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537, Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation S9. The concentration of test material used in the presence and absence of metabolic activation were 0, 156, 313, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate. No mutagenic effects were observed in all strains, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Therefore 2-Amino-2-ethyl-1,3-propanediol was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537, Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA by AMES test. Hence the substance cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

 

 Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across substance and applying weight of evidence N-hydroxyethanimidoate(10576-12-2) 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

Thus based on the above annotation and CLP criteria for the target chemical .N-hydroxyethanimidoate(10576-12-2) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
