Additional information
Justification for read-across
Data on the acute inhalation and dermal toxicity of glyceryl undecylenate (CAS 123759-97-7) are not available. The assessment of acute toxicity was therefore based on studies conducted with the target substance and with source substances as part of a read across approach, which is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).
Acute oral toxicity
CAS 123759-97-7
In an acute oral toxicity study performed according to protocol similar to OECD guideline 401, 5 male NMRI mice were administered 5000 mg/kg bw glyceryl undecylenate by gavage (Catroux, 1988). No mortality occurred, and no clinical signs were observed in the animals during the 7-day observation period. The increase in body weight was within the normal range reported for animals of this strain. Therefore, the oral LD50 value for male mice is > 5000 mg/kg bw.
Acute inhalation toxicity
CAS No. 73398-61-5
The acute inhalation toxicity of triglycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl was assessed according to OECD guideline 403 and in compliance with GLP (Reminghaus, 1976). A group of 10 male rats was exposed to a calculated concentration of 28.1 µL/L air for 6 h using a nose-only exposure system. The measured respirable test substance concentration was 1.97 µl/L (particles with a diameter below 10 µm), corresponding to an atmosphere concentration of the test aerosol of 1.86 mg/L. This was considered to be the maximum attainable concentration of respirable particles. 10 male control animals were sham-exposed. No mortality and no clinical signs of toxicity were observed in any of the animals during exposure, or during the 14-day observation period. The body weight was not affected during the study. At necropsy, no abnormalities were noted. Microscopic examination did not reveal any abnormal findings in lungs or tracheae and no deposits of the oily test substance in the respiratory tissues were detected. Based on these results, the LC50 value for male rats is > 1.86 mg/L air (analytical).
Acute dermal toxicity
CAS 620-67-7
The acute dermal toxicity potential of Glycerol triheptanoate was assessed in a study performed according to OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (Mürmann, 1993). Five rats/sex were dermally exposed to the test substance at a limit dose of 2000 mg/kg bw. The undiluted test substance was applied to the shaved skin of the test animals for 24 h under semiocclusive conditions. After the exposure period, residual test substance was removed and the animals were observed for a period of 14 days. No treatment-related mortalities occurred and no signs of systemic toxicity were observed during the study. All the rats showed the expected gain in body weight throughout the study. During necropsy, macroscopic examination revealed no test substance-related abnormalities. Based on these results, the dermal LD50 value for male and female rats is > 2000 mg/kg bw.
CAS 91845-19-1
The dermal effects of Glycerides, C16-18 and C18-hydroxy mono- and di- were investigated in an acute dermal toxicity study performed according to a protocol similar to OECD guideline 402 and in compliance with GLP (Potokar, 1985). In a limit test, 2000 mg/kg bw of the undiluted test substance was applied to the shaved skin of 5 rats/sex for 24 h under occlusive conditions. After the exposure period, residual test substance was removed and the animals were observed for a period of 14 days. No mortality occurred and no clinical signs were observed during the observation period. Male and female rats showed the expected gain in body weight. The necropsy and histopathological examination did not reveal any substance-related findings. One male and two female animals showed a reddening of the ileum mucosa, which was not considered to be treatment-related. No local skin effects were observed. The dermal LD50 value for male and female rats is considered to be > 2000 mg/kg bw.
Overall conclusion for acute toxicity
The reliable data available for the target and source substances indicate a very low level of acute toxicity following the oral, inhalation and dermal route, as LD50 values were greater than the currently applied limit values and the LC50 value was the maximum attainable value. Therefore, as the available data did not identify any hazard for acute toxicity, glyceryl undecylenate is not considered to be hazardous following acute exposure.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The reliable study was selected.
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from a structural analogue. The selected study is most adequate and reliable based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substance and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).
Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Hazard assessment is conducted by means of read-across from a structural analogue. The selected study is the most adequate and reliable study based on the identified similarities in structure and intrinsic properties between the source and target substance and overall quality assessment (refer to the endpoint discussion for further details).
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to glyceryl undecylenate (CAS 123759-97-7), data will be generated from information available on reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.
Therefore, based on the target substance information and analogue read-across approach, the available data on acute toxicity do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
