Description of key information

Repeated dose toxicity - via oral route:

A repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity study was performed to determine the toxic profile ofthe test chemical when administered daily for 28 consecutive days for Sprague-Dawley rats. The test substance was administered to rats at dose levels of0 (vehicle control), 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day. Two additional doseswere added to the study as control (0 mg/kg/day) and 1000 mg/kg/day in order to study delayed toxiceffects orreversibilityy. The control animals were administered with corn oil. All treated animals were survived through the dosing period of 28-day and the recovery period of 14-days. No sign of toxicity was noted throughout the dosing and recovery periods. Treated rats exhibited normal body weight gain and the food consumption, which were comparable with controls. Detailed clinical observation conducted weekly did not reveal any abnormalities at any dose during the dosing and recovery periods. Ophthalmoscopic examination, conducted prior to and after the dosing period did not reveal any abnormalities.At the end of administration period, in week 4th functional observation battery was performed to assess sensory reactivity to diverse stimulus, grip strength and motor activity. This functional observational battery did not reveal any differences between treated and control rats.Haematological analysis was carried out on termination days (day 29 and 43) and it did not reveal any abnormalities. In clinical biochemistry the total protein level, which reflectsthetotal amount of albumin and globulin, was significantly decreased at 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day in males and at 500 mg/kg/day in females. Creatinine concentration dropped significantly at the top dose in males, but no similar changes were seen in females. In females the alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, which are indicators of liver function dropped significantly at 250, and 500 mg/kg/day, and theALTlevelin serumremained reduced at day 43. However, no similar effects on serum liver enzymes concentration was seen in male rats. In summary, no conclusive and dose-dependent alteration of serum parameters were revealed, the observed increase/decrease in concentrations were marginal and within the normal laboratory and biological limits.At the end of dosing period of 28-day, the relative weight of kidney and adrenals decreased significantly at 1000 mg/kg/day as compared to control, but no similar effect was noted among females. At the termination of recovery period (at day 43) the relative weight of liver, kidney and spleen increased significantly in both males and females. Although significant changes in organ weight were observed in male and female rats in different dose group, no related gross pathological and histopathological finding were seen and therefore, these finding were considered to be of no toxicological importance. Gross pathological and histopathological observation of organs did not reveal abnormalities at any dose level in both sexes. In conclusion, the repeated oral exposure tothe test chemicaldid notinduced toxicologically significant and severe alterations of the function or morphology of a specific tissue/organ, neither produced serious changes to the biochemistry or haematology of animalswhen SD rats were orally administered for 28 consecutive days followed by a 14-day recovery period.

Repeated dose toxicity - via inhalation route:

According to Annex IX of the REACH regulation, testing by the inhalation route is appropriate only if exposure of humans via inhalation is likely. Considering the low vapour pressure of the substance oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one (28645-51-4) which is reported as 2.2351839 10-5Hgmm at 25°C. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one is highly unlikely and therefore this study is considered for waiver.

 

Repeated dose toxicity - via dermal route:

The acute toxicity value for oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one (28645-51-4) (as provided in section 7.2.3) is >2000 mg/kg body weight. Also, given the use of the chemical; repeated exposure by dermal route is unlikely since the use of gloves is common practice in industries. Thus, it is expected that oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one shall not exhibit toxic effects via dermal exposure after exposure of 28 consecutive days. In addition, there is no data available that suggests that oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one shall exhibit repeated dose toxicity via dermal route and, consequently this endpoint was considered for waiver.

Conclusions:
The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for repeated dose toxicity was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day, when male and female Sprague Dawley rats were administered the test chemical via oral route during 28 consecutive days and 14-day recovery period.
Executive summary:

A repeated dose 28-day oral toxicity studywas performed to determine the toxic profile ofthe test chemical when administered daily for 28 consecutive days for Sprague-Dawley rats. The test substance was administered to rats at dose levels of0 (vehicle control), 250, 500 and 1000 mg/kg body weight/day. Two additional doseswere added to the study as control (0 mg/kg/day) and 1000 mg/kg/day in order to study delayed toxiceffects orreversibilityy. The control animals were administered with corn oil. All treated animals were survived through the dosing period of 28-day and the recovery period of 14-days. No sign of toxicity was noted throughout the dosing and recovery periods. Treated rats exhibited normal body weight gain and the food consumption, which were comparable with controls. Detailed clinical observation conducted weekly did not reveal any abnormalities at any dose during the dosing and recovery periods. Ophthalmoscopic examination, conducted prior to and after the dosing period did not reveal any abnormalities.At the end of administration period, in week 4th functional observation battery was performed to assess sensory reactivity to diverse stimulus, grip strength and motor activity. This functional observational battery did not reveal any differences between treated and control rats.Haematological analysis was carried out on termination days (day 29 and 43) and it did not reveal any abnormalities. In clinical biochemistry the total protein level, which reflectsthetotal amount of albumin and globulin, was significantly decreased at 500 and 1000 mg/kg/day in males and at 500 mg/kg/day in females. Creatinine concentration dropped significantly at the top dose in males, but no similar changes were seen in females. In females the alanine transaminase (ALT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels, which are indicators of liver function dropped significantly at 250, and 500 mg/kg/day, and theALTlevelin serumremained reduced at day 43. However, no similar effects on serum liver enzymes concentration was seen in male rats. In summary, no conclusive and dose-dependent alteration of serum parameters were revealed, the observed increase/decrease in concentrations were marginal and within the normal laboratory and biological limits.At the end of dosing period of 28-day, the relative weight of kidney and adrenals decreased significantly at 1000 mg/kg/day as compared to control, but no similar effect was noted among females. At the termination of recovery period (at day 43) the relative weight of liver, kidney and spleen increased significantly in both males and females. Although significant changes in organ weight were observed in male and female rats in different dose group, no related gross pathological and histopathological finding were seen and therefore, these finding were considered to be of no toxicological importance. Gross pathological and histopathological observation of organs did not reveal abnormalities at any dose level in both sexes. In conclusion, the repeated oral exposure tothe test chemicaldid notinduced toxicologically significant and severe alterations of the function or morphology of a specific tissue/organ, neither produced serious changes to the biochemistry or haematology of animalswhen SD rats were orally administered for 28 consecutive days followed by a 14-day recovery period.

Additional information

Data available for the test chemical were reviewed to determine the toxic nature of oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one (CAS 28645-51-4) following repeated exposure via oral route. The study is summarized below:

Repeated dose toxicity via inhalation route:

According to Annex IX of the REACH regulation, testing by the inhalation route is appropriate only if exposure of humans via inhalation is likely. Taking into account the low vapour pressure of the substance oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one (28645-51-4) which is reported as 2.2351839 10-5Hgmm at 25°C. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-oneis highly unlikely and, therefore this endpoint is considered for waiver.

 

Repeated dose toxicity via dermal route:

The acute toxicity value for oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one (28645-51-4) (as provided in section 7.2.3) is >2000 mg/kg body weight. Also, given the use of the chemical; repeated exposure by dermal route is unlikely since the use of gloves is common practice in industries. Thus, it is expected that oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one shall not exhibit toxic effects via dermal after 28-day exposure. In addition, there is no data available that suggests that oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one shall exhibit repeated dose toxicity via dermal route and therefore this endpoint was considered for waiver.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data available for the test chemical, oxacycloheptadec-10-en-2-one( CAS 28645-51-4) does not exhibit toxic effects upon repeated exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal routes of exposure and, consequently it is not classified for specific target organ toxicity following repeated exposure (STOT-RE) according to the criteria of the CLP regulations.
