Key value for chemical safety assessment
Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
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 Aluminium tristearate (IUPAC name: aluminum trioctadecanoate). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system.Aluminium tristearate failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not likely 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
Gene mutation in vitro:
Prediction model based estimation and data from two read across chemicals have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of Aluminium tristearate (IUPAC name: aluminum trioctadecanoate). The studies are as mentioned below:
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for Aluminium tristearate (IUPAC name: aluminum trioctadecanoate). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system and strain TA1535 without S9 metabolic activation system. Aluminium tristearate failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and strain TA1535 without S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not likely classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
In a study for read across chemical by Blevins and Taylor ( J. Environ. Sci. Health, A, 1982), Salmonella/microsome test (Spot test) was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of Stearic acid (RA CAS no 57 -11 -4; IUPAC name: Octadecanoic acid). The study was performed using in Salmonella typhimurium LT2 - hisTA98, hisTA100, hisTA1535, hisTA1537, and hisTA1538 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. The chemical as used at dose levels of 50µg/plate and the plates were incubated for 2 days. The plates were observed for a dose dependent increase in the number of revertants/plate. Negative and positive control plates were also made with the test plates. The negative controls were used to determine the spontaneous reversion rate to prototrophy for each strain, and to determine the effect of the solvents on the reversion rates. Stearic acid failed to induce mutation inSalmonella typhimurium LT2 - hisTA98, hisTA100, hisTA1535, hisTA1537, and hisTA1538 both in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro
In a gene toxicity test by Sustainability Support Services (2015) for a structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to Zinc distearate (RA CAS no 575 -05 -1; IUPAC name: zinc dioctadecanoate) in the concentration of 0, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0 or 10.0 mM both with and without metabolic activation for 3 hours. The results showed that there was no evidence of cytotoxicity after treatment. Independently of tested ZInc distearate concentration, the results showed no evidence of gene toxicity in the absence of S9 metabolic activation system. However, in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system, the results showed evidence of gene toxicity when cells were exposed to Zinc stearate at 10 mM, while treatment with 5 mM or less did not cause gene toxicity. Therefore, it is considered that Zinc stearate in the concentrations of 5 mM or below does not cause genetic mutation(s), while concentrations at 10 mM may, when CHO cells are exposed to the test chemical in the presence of metabolic activation. On the basis of results observed, the read across chemical is not likely to cause gene mutation upto a dose level of 5mM in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and at a dose level of 10MmM in the absence of S9 metabolic activation system.
Based on the information observed for the test chemical and its various read across, it is summarized that Aluminium tristearate is not likely to exhibit genetic toxicity. Thus, the chemical is not classified as a genetic toxicant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the weight of evidence data reviewed for the test chemical and its various read across, it is summarized that Aluminium tristearate (IUPAC name: aluminum trioctadecanoate) is not likely to exhibit genetic toxicity. Thus, the chemical is not classified as a genetic toxicant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
