Endpoint summary
Administrative data
Description of key information
In a dermal sensitization study (OECD 406) with Sodium molybdate 241/32 in water, 20 young adult female guinea-pigs of the Dunkin-Hartley strain were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman. No dermal reactions were seen in a period of 72 hours after challenging the test animals. Based on the available data, the source substance Sodium molybdate 241/32 is not a dermal sensitizer.
Key value for chemical safety assessment
Skin sensitisation
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Justification for type of information:
- For justification of read-across please refer to the read-across report attached to IUCLID section 13.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Positive control results:
- Sensitivity of the guinea-pig strain used is checked periodically with formalin, a known sensitiser. Formalin produced a clear positive response in all performed control experiments.

- Executive summary:
In a dermal sensitization study (OECD 406) with Sodium molybdate in water, 20 young adult female guinea-pigs of the Dunkin-Hartley strain were tested using the method of Magnusson and Kligman. No dermal reactions were seen in a period of 72 hours after challenging the test animals. In this study, Sodium molybdate is not a dermal sensitizer.
This information is used in a read-across approach in the assessment of the target substance.
For justification of read-across please refer to the attached read-across report (see IUCLID section 13).
Reference
Clinical signs:
No signs of ill health or toxicity were recorded.
Induction:
- Intradermal injections: Necrosis was recorded at sites receiving Freund´s Complete Adjuvant in test and control animals. A slight irritation was seen in test animals at sites receiving Sodium molybdate, 5% w/w in water for irrigation; no irritation was observed in the control animals receiving water for irrigation.
- Topical application: Slight erythema was observed in test animals following topical application with Sodium molybdate 241/32, 70% w/w in distilled water. Very slight erythema was seen in the control guinea-pigs.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
- Additional information:
No data is available for Molybdenum disilicide (target substance). Thus, available data from Sodium molybdate was used in a read-across approach. Due to a lower water solubility of Molybdenum disilicide compared to Sodium molybdate the resulting bioavailability (toxicity potential) would also be expected to be lower. Therefore, the read across to the source substance Sodium molybdate is adequately protective. Details on the read-across rational are provided in section 13.
Sodium molybdate was tested negative in a dermal sensitization study according to OECD 406. Based on the results from the read-across partner Sodium molybdate, Molybdenum disilicide can be considered as not sensitizing to the skin.
Respiratory sensitisation
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no study available
Justification for classification or non-classification
In a dermal sensitization study according to OECD 406, female guinea pigs were tested negative for Sodium molybdate. Based on the results from the read-across partner, no classification of Molybdenum disilicide is warranted.
