TOXICOKINETIC ANALYSIS:
There are no specific toxicokinetics or dermal absorption studies available for Pigment Violet 3 PTM. Therefore, in line with ECHA's Guidance on Information Requirements and Chemical Safety Assessment chapter R.7c [1] the main toxicokinetic properties of Pigment Violet 3 PTM are assessed on the basis of its physico-chemical properties and with special regard to the results of the standard toxicity studies performed with this substance.
Pigment Violet 3 PTM is a dark violet powder at room temperature with a molecular weight of ≥ 2200 ≤ 3300 g/mol. A log Pow of < 0.1 was estimated from the single solubilities of the substance in n-octanol and water.
The vapour pressure could not be determined as the substance is a solid which decomposes at > 260 °C before melting.
The test substance is a mono-constituent with a purity of ≥ 80% (w/w).
Absorption
Oral route
Based on its high molecular weight of ≥ 2200 ≤ 3300 g/mol Pigment Violet 3 PTM is not likely to be quantitatively absorbed in the GI tract since large molecules with a molecular weight above 1000 g/mol do not favour absorption. This assumption is supported by the results of the acute and repeated dose oral toxicity studies with Pigment Violet 3 PTM indicating no signs of systemic toxicity after exposure to the test substance. Following repeated exposure up to the limit dose of 1000 mg/kg bw/day, violet discoloration of faeces was observed but not reported for other organs or tissues including the lymphatic system indicating that the violet test item was not able to pass the intestinal wall in toxicologically relevant amounts.
In conclusion, oral absorption is considered to be very low.
Inhalation route
The vapour pressure of Pigment Violet 3 PTM could not be determined because the substance decomposes at >260°C without melting. Therefore, the substance is not volatile, and inhalation to vapours is not relevant.
The particle size distribution of Pigmemt Violet 3 PTM was determined by laser scattering/diffraction to be MMD = 19.6 µm (D10 = 0.61 µm, D90 = 119 µm), i.e. inhalation of dust is possible, and absorption after inhalation cannot be fully excluded. However, in acute aerosol inhalation studies with analogous substances no signs of systemic toxicity were observed indicating limited absorption after inhalation.
In conclusion, absorption via the inhalation route is assumed to be low.
Dermal route
Based on the molecular weight of > 500 g/mol, low solubility in water, and absence of skin irritating properties, skin permeability of Pigment Violet 3 PTM is expected to be very poor. However, Pigment Violet 3 PTM showed a potential for skin sensitisation in the local lymph node assay (OECD 429) indicating a certain systemic availability of Pigment Violet 3 PTM or its dissolution products that might have been formed during the course of the study.
No indication of systemic availability (i.e. systemic toxicity or discoloured urine) was observed in the LLNA with Pigment Violet 3 PTM in mice or in an acute dermal toxicity study in rabbits with an analogous substance.
In conclusion, absorption via the dermal route is assumed to be low.
Distribution
Since no clinical signs were observed in acute oral, dermal and inhalation toxicity studies with Pigment Violet 3 PTM and analogous substances, a distribution to potential target organs seems unlikely. Furthermore, there was no indication of distribution to certain target organs based on macroscopic and histopathology examinations following repeated oral exposure of Pigment Violet 3 PTM. Due to the molecular weight of >> 200 g/mol, distribution through aqueous channels and pores is restricted. An accumulative potential in adipose tissue can be excluded due to the estimated very low log Pow value of <0.1.
Metabolism
In the Ames test and the in vitro micronucleus test with Pigment Violet 3 PTM no remarkable differences in regard to genotoxicity and cytotoxicity were seen in the presence or absence of metabolic activation systems. The results indicate that neither genotoxic nor more cytotoxic metabolites were formed in those test systems.
Generally, metabolism will render a xenobiotic molecule more polar and harmless, leading to fast and quantitative excretion.
Excretion
In the acute and repeated dose oral toxicity studies with Pigment Violet 3 PTM in rats violet discoloration of feces was observed. These results indicate that a direct excretion via the feces without former GI tract absorption of the test substance represents the main excretion route after oral exposure.
Substance characteristics favourable for urinary excretion are low molecular weight (below 300 g/mol in the rat), good water solubility, and ionization at the pH of urine. Pigment Violet 3 PTM does not fulfil these characteristics. In line, no discoloured urine was observed in the acute and repeated dose oral toxicity studies with Pigment Violet 3 PTM.
