Prediction model based estimation and data from read across chemicals have been reviewed to detrmine the mutagenic nature of

4-hydroxy-6-[(3-sulfophenyl)amino]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid . The studies are 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 4-hydroxy-6-[(3-sulfophenyl)amino]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid. 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. 4-hydroxy-6-[(3-sulfophenyl)amino]naphthalene-2 -sulfonic acid 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 4-hydroxy-6-[(3-sulfophenyl)amino]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid 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 for 4-hydroxy-6-[(3-sulfophenyl)amino]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid is negative and hence the chemical is predicted to not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical by Zeiger et al (Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, 1992), Preincubation assay was performed to evaluate the mutagenic nature of the 4-(2-Naphthylamino)phenol (RA CAS no 93 -45 -8). The study was performed as described by Haworth et al 1983 with slight modification. The study involved the use of test chemical dose levels of 0, 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 33, 66, 100, 166, 333 or 666 µg/plate and Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 100, TA1535, TA 1537, TA 97 and TA98 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. 4-(2-Naphthylamino)phenol did not induce gene mutation in the Salmonella typhimurium tester strains in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is negative for gene mutation in vitro.

In a study for another read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Chung et al (Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1981) to determine the mutagenic behaviour of structurally and functionally similar read across chemical R salt (RA CAS no 135 -51 -3, IUPAC name: disodium 3-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonate). The study was performed by the standard plate incorporation assay and the preincubation method using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98, and TA100 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. Also, the liquid preincubation assays were timed for 30 min at 37°C in a Dri-block. The test chemical was dissolved in DMSO and upto a maximum nontoxic dose of 5000 µg/plate for plate incorporation assay and 1000 µg/plate for preincubation assay. Concurrent solvent and positive controls were also included in the study. R salt did not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98, and TA100 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across, 4-hydroxy-6-[(3-sulfophenyl)amino]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid 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 data available for the target chemical and its read across, 4-hydroxy-6-[(3-sulfophenyl)amino]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid (CAS no 25251 -42 -7)

does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
