- Method: Background growth inhibition
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY :
The test substance was considered positive for mutagenicity if it induced an increase of revertants per plate with increasing concentration. The increases should be at least 2 times the vehicle control background frequency for strains with high spontaneous levels (i.e., TA100) and 3 times for those with low spontaneous levels (TA1537, TA98, TA1535, and WP2 uvrA). These increases should be seen in at least 2 or more successive concentrations or the response should be repeatable at a single concentration. - Rationale for test conditions:
- Per OECD 471.
- Evaluation criteria:
- Criteria for a Positive Response:
The test substance was considered positive for mutagenicity if it induced an increase of revertants per plate with increasing concentration. The increases should be at least 2 times the vehicle control background frequency for strains with high spontaneous levels (i.e., TA100) and 3 times for those with low spontaneous levels (TA1537, TA98, TA1535, and WP2 uvrA). These increases should be seen in at least 2 or more successive concentrations or the response should be repeatable at a single concentration.

- Executive summary:
MTDID 44428 was evaluated for mutagenic activity in the in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay. Four tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium(TA1537, TA98, TA100, and TA1535) and Escherichia coli strain (WP2uvrA) were used for mutagenicity testing. The study was conducted according to OECD 471 in compliance with OECD GLP. MTDID 44428 was prepared as a stock formulation in 200 proof ethanol at concentrations up to 50 mg/mL for each assay. Mutagenicity testing was performed in triplicate at each concentration with and without an Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9 metabolic activation system. In the range-finding assay, MTDID 44428 was tested in single plates at 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, and 5000 µg/plate with strains TA100 and WP2uvrA using the plate incorporation method. Precipitates were not observed at any concentration in both strains with and without metabolic activation. Cytotoxicity (i.e., reduction in the background lawn and/or mean number of revertant colonies) was observed at ≥ 500 µg/plate in TA100 without metabolic activation and ≥ 1000 µg/plate in TA100 with metabolic activation. In the mutagenicity assay, MTDID 44428 was tested 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, and 1000 µg/plate in strains TA1537, TA98, TA1535, and TA100, and 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500, and 5000 µg/plate in strain WP2 uvrA, using the plate incorporation method. Precipitates were not observed at any concentration, in any strain with or without metabolic activation. Cytotoxicity was observed at ≥ 100 µg/plate in strains TA1537 and TA100 without metabolic activation; at ≥ 250 µg/plate in strain TA1535 without metabolic activation; and at ≥ 500 µg/plate in strains TA98 without metabolic activation and TA1537 and TA100 with metabolic activation. Cytotoxicity was also observed at 1000 µg/plate in strains TA98 and TA1535 with metabolic activation. No cytotoxicity was observed with strain WP2 uvrA with or without metabolic activation. In the mutagenicity assay, criteria for a negative response were met for all tester strains with and without metabolic activation. The data from the vehicle and positive controls demonstrated the validity and sensitivity of this test system for detecting chemical mutagens with and without metabolic activation. These data support the conclusion that MTDID 44428 is negative for mutagenic activity in the S. typhimurium strains TA1537, TA98, TA100, and TA1535 and in the E. coli strain WP2 uvrA, with and without metabolic activation, under the conditions of this assay.

- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The target chemical (MTDID 44428, CASRN 87015-11-0) and the source chemical (isooctyl acrylate (IOA) CAS 29590-42-9) are isomers that contain the same functional acrylate moiety attached to primarily C8 alkyl hydrocarbon chains (C7-C9, C8 rich for the source chemical) with variable branching. The source chemical differs from the target chemical in both the degree and position of branching of the alkyl ester group with the source chemical being branched at the terminal end of the alkyl chain while the target chemical is branched near the acrylate functional group. The acrylate group is expected to be metabolized in the same manner in both substances and the remaining alkyl chain will be metabolized and excreted via the same pathway. The source chemical and target chemical have the same molecular weight and very similar log Kow values (Target: 4.7-4.8, Source: 4.5-4.7). Similar ADME profiles are expected between the two substances as the metabolic pathway of acrylate esters has been well characterized. Acrylate and methacrylate functionalities are electrophilic and both may participate in Michael addition reactions. Metabolism is expected to occur through the same pathways, hydrolysis by carboxylesterases into two metabolites, an alcohol and an acrylic acid moiety with minor conjugation to gluthathione. Hydrolysis is similar across the acrylate family and enhances the elimination of the chemical upon exposure (McCarthy & Witz, 1997). Studies with n-butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate confirm that the acrylic acid metabolite enters aerobic oxidation and in completely metabolized to CO2 with only a minor proportion be conjugated to glutathione and excreted in the urine as a N-acetyl cysteine conjugate (Sanders, JM et. al, 1988; Gut, I, et al. 1988). The previously mentioned studies have also demonstrated that enzymatic hydrolysis kinetic constants for methacrylate and acrylate esters are similar.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Target Chemical
The target molecule, MTDID 44428 (CASRN 87015-11-0), is a multi-constituent substance defined as the reaction mass of octan-2-yl acrylate, octan-3-yl acrylate and octan-4-yl acrylate as represented by the following structures.
(see attached read-across justification document).
Molecular weight of the target chemical is 184.3
Source Chemical:
The source chemical, isooctyl acrylate (IOA) CAS 29590-42-9, is defined as a UVCB and is represented by the following structure (see attached read-across justification document).
The average molecular weight of the source substance is ca. 184.0. The source chemical differs from the target chemical in the degree and position of branching of the alkyl ester group with the source chemical having variable methyl branching along the alkyl chain while the target chemical is branched immediately adjacent to the acrylate functional group.
Purity and Impurities :
MTDID 44428 is a multi-constituent substance and the three acrylate constituents contribute >99% of the content. There are very low levels of residual reactants and reaction side products.
Isooctyl acrylate is a UVCB substance, based on the mixed-isomer nature of the material. As a UVCB substance, all components are considered part of the substance and the concept of impurities has little meaning. Acrylate ester content of IOA is >99 %, with very low levels of residual reactants and reaction side products. These non-acrylate components are substantially similar and do not impact the read-across of test results from IOA.
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
Analogue Approach Justification
The target chemical and source chemical are closely related alkyl acrylate compounds. They differ slightly in the structure of the alkyl ester portion of the molecule. MTDID 44428 contains a methyl, ethyl or propyl branch at the 1-carbon of the alkyl chain portion of the molecule, which is always C8 in total. IOA may have methyl or ethyl branches at one or more positions along the alkyl ester group. The carbon chain is predominantly C8 in total with lesser contributions of C7 and C9 (C8 on average).
The environmental toxicity of low molecular weight acrylate esters (aquatic mortality and immobilization) is by protein adduct formation via a Michael-type addition mechanism. In the environment, toxicity increases on a molar concentration basis with molecular weight (and concomitantly, hydrophobicity) due to increased ability of the molecule to reach its active site. The excess toxicity is mitigated in high molecular weight acrylate esters with log P > 5.
The mammalian toxicity of IOA and MTDID 44428 is also based on protein adduct formation via a Michael-type addition with the acrylate groups. Both the target and source chemical are weak dermal sensitizers (section 5) indicating that an equivalent mechanism of toxicity is at work for both substances based on identical functional groups and molecular weights and very similar log Kow values and water solubilities.
The number of hydrophobic carbons of IOA relative to MTDID 44428 is predicted to be similar resulting in very similar octanol water partition coefficient values. This was confirmed experimentally and the log Kow for IOA is 4.5-4.7 while the log Kow for MTDID 44428 is 4.7-4.8. Additionally, IOA and MTDID 44428 have very similar water solubility at 12.44 and 14.6 mg/L, respectively. IOA is expected to be metabolized via the same hydrolytic and enzymatic pathways as MTDID 44428, forming acrylic acid and isooctanol.
Similar mammalian metabolic pathways are expected for IOA and MTDID 44428 based on Sanders, et. al and Gut, et al. The source chemical and target chemical have the same molecular weight and very similar log Kow values. Similar ADME profiles are expected between the two substances as the metabolic pathway of acrylate esters has been well characterized. Acrylate and methacrylate functionalities are electrophilic and both may participate in Michael addition reactions. Metabolism is expected to occur through the same pathways, hydrolysis by carboxylesterases into two metabolites, an alcohol and an acrylic acid moiety with minor conjugation to gluthathione. Hydrolysis is similar across the acrylate family and enhances the elimination of the chemical upon exposure (McCarthy & Witz, 1997). Studies with n-butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate confirm that the acrylic acid metabolite enters aerobic oxidation and in completely metabolized to CO2 with only a minor proportion be conjugated to glutathione and excreted in the urine as a N-acetyl cysteine conjugate (Sanders, JM et. al, 1988; Gut, I, et al. 1988). The previously mentioned studies have also demonstrated that enzymatic hydrolysis kinetic constants for methacrylate and acrylate esters are similar.
As can be seen in the table in section 5, the source and target substances have very similar environmental and mammalian hazard profiles for endpoints where each substance has experimental data. This further supports the hypothesis that the target and source substances are expected to behave similarly in mammalian and environmental systems with the same mechanism of action and that read-across of the data for higher-tier endpoints is appropriate in an effort to reduce unnecessary animal testing.

- In the Chromosome aberration study, IOA did not induce a statistically significant or biologically relevant increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations in the absence of S9-mix at the 3 hour and 24 hour exposure times and in the presence of S9-mix, in the first and second cytogenetic assays. However, in the second cytogenetic assay in the absence of S9-mix at the 48-hour exposure time, IOA induced a statistically significant increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations at the highest, cytotoxic concentration, both when gaps were included and excluded. Because this increase was above the historical control data range, observed in both duplicate cultures it was considered biologically relevant and IOA was considered clastogenic.
No effects of IOA on the number of polyploid cells and cells with endoreduplicated chromosomes were observed both in the absence and presence of S9-mix. Therefore, it can be concluded that IOA does not disturb mitotic processes and cell cycle progression and does not induce numerical chromosome aberrations under the experimental conditions described in the report. - Conclusions:
- In the Chromosome aberration study, IOA did not induce a statistically significant or biologically relevant increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations in the absence of S9-mix at the 3 hour and 24 hour exposure times and in the presence of S9-mix, in the first and second cytogenetic assays. However, in the second cytogenetic assay in the absence of S9-mix at the 48-hour exposure time, IOA induced a statistically significant increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations at the highest, cytotoxic concentration, both when gaps were included and excluded.

No effects of IOA on the number of polyploid cells and cells with endoreduplicated chromosomes were observed both in the absence and presence of S9-mix. Therefore, it can be concluded that IOA does not disturb mitotic processes and cell cycle progression and does not induce numerical chromosome aberrations under the experimental conditions described in the report.
The source chemical (IOA) is clastogenic in human lymphocytes and the results are read-across to the target substance (MTDID 44428). The clastogenic activitiy is confined to a cytotoxic concentrations and prolonged incubation in the absence of S9-mix. - Executive summary:
The similarities between the structural, physical & chemical, toxicity, and predicted metabolic properties of the source and target substances presented above support the read-across hypothesis for genetic toxicity. The data are adequate and reliable scientific information to support the hypothesis. Therefore, based upon the data and considerations presented in the above sections, it can be concluded that the results of the genetic toxicity study with source substance will accurately predict the results for the target substance and are considered as adequate to fulfil the information requirement of Annex VIII, of the REACH Regulation for the target substance.

MTDID-7819 is clastogenic in human lymphocytes. The clastogenic activitiy is confined to a cytoxic concentrations and prolonged incubation in the absence of S9-mix. - Executive summary:
In the assay described above, MTDID-7819 did not induce a statistically significant or biologically relevant increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations in the absence of S9-mix at the 3 hour and 24 hour exposure times and in the presence of S(-mix, in the first and second cytogenetic assays. However, in the second cytogenetic assay in the absence of S9-mix at the 48-hour exposure time, MTDID-7819 induced a statistically significant increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations at the highest, cytotoxic concentration, both when gaps were included and excluded. Because this increase was above the historical control data range, observed in both duplicate cultures it was considered biologically relevant and MTDID-7819 was considered clastogenic. No effects of MTDID-7819 on the number of polyploid cells and cells with endoreduplicated chromosomes were observed both in the absence and presence of S9-mix. Therefore, it can be concluded that MTDID-7819 does not disturb mitotic processes and cell cycle progression and does not induce numerical chromosome aberrations under the experimental conditions described in the report.

- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
The target chemical (MTDID 44428, CASRN 87015-11-0) and the source chemical (isooctyl acrylate (IOA) CAS 29590-42-9) are isomers that contain the same functional acrylate moiety attached to primarily C8 alkyl hydrocarbon chains (C7-C9, C8 rich for the source chemical) with variable branching. The source chemical differs from the target chemical in both the degree and position of branching of the alkyl ester group with the source chemical being branched at the terminal end of the alkyl chain while the target chemical is branched near the acrylate functional group. The acrylate group is expected to be metabolized in the same manner in both substances and the remaining alkyl chain will be metabolized and excreted via the same pathway. The source chemical and target chemical have the same molecular weight and very similar log Kow values (Target: 4.7-4.8, Source: 4.5-4.7). Similar ADME profiles are expected between the two substances as the metabolic pathway of acrylate esters has been well characterized. Acrylate and methacrylate functionalities are electrophilic and both may participate in Michael addition reactions. Metabolism is expected to occur through the same pathways, hydrolysis by carboxylesterases into two metabolites, an alcohol and an acrylic acid moiety with minor conjugation to gluthathione. Hydrolysis is similar across the acrylate family and enhances the elimination of the chemical upon exposure (McCarthy & Witz, 1997). Studies with n-butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate confirm that the acrylic acid metabolite enters aerobic oxidation and in completely metabolized to CO2 with only a minor proportion be conjugated to glutathione and excreted in the urine as a N-acetyl cysteine conjugate (Sanders, JM et. al, 1988; Gut, I, et al. 1988). The previously mentioned studies have also demonstrated that enzymatic hydrolysis kinetic constants for methacrylate and acrylate esters are similar.
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
Target Chemical
The target molecule, MTDID 44428 (CASRN 87015-11-0), is a multi-constituent substance defined as the reaction mass of octan-2-yl acrylate, octan-3-yl acrylate and octan-4-yl acrylate as represented by the following structures.
(see attached read-across justification document).
Molecular weight of the target chemical is 184.3
Source Chemical:
The source chemical, isooctyl acrylate (IOA) CAS 29590-42-9, is defined as a UVCB and is represented by the following structure (see attached read-across justification document).
The average molecular weight of the source substance is ca. 184.0. The source chemical differs from the target chemical in the degree and position of branching of the alkyl ester group with the source chemical having variable methyl branching along the alkyl chain while the target chemical is branched immediately adjacent to the acrylate functional group.
Purity and Impurities :
MTDID 44428 is a multi-constituent substance and the three acrylate constituents contribute >99% of the content. There are very low levels of residual reactants and reaction side products.
Isooctyl acrylate is a UVCB substance, based on the mixed-isomer nature of the material. As a UVCB substance, all components are considered part of the substance and the concept of impurities has little meaning. Acrylate ester content of IOA is >99 %, with very low levels of residual reactants and reaction side products. These non-acrylate components are substantially similar and do not impact the read-across of test results from IOA.
3. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
Analogue Approach Justification
The target chemical and source chemical are closely related alkyl acrylate compounds. They differ slightly in the structure of the alkyl ester portion of the molecule. MTDID 44428 contains a methyl, ethyl or propyl branch at the 1-carbon of the alkyl chain portion of the molecule, which is always C8 in total. IOA may have methyl or ethyl branches at one or more positions along the alkyl ester group. The carbon chain is predominantly C8 in total with lesser contributions of C7 and C9 (C8 on average).
The environmental toxicity of low molecular weight acrylate esters (aquatic mortality and immobilization) is by protein adduct formation via a Michael-type addition mechanism. In the environment, toxicity increases on a molar concentration basis with molecular weight (and concomitantly, hydrophobicity) due to increased ability of the molecule to reach its active site. The excess toxicity is mitigated in high molecular weight acrylate esters with log P > 5.
The mammalian toxicity of IOA and MTDID 44428 is also based on protein adduct formation via a Michael-type addition with the acrylate groups. Both the target and source chemical are weak dermal sensitizers (section 5) indicating that an equivalent mechanism of toxicity is at work for both substances based on identical functional groups and molecular weights and very similar log Kow values and water solubilities.
The number of hydrophobic carbons of IOA relative to MTDID 44428 is predicted to be similar resulting in very similar octanol water partition coefficient values. This was confirmed experimentally and the log Kow for IOA is 4.5-4.7 while the log Kow for MTDID 44428 is 4.7-4.8. Additionally, IOA and MTDID 44428 have very similar water solubility at 12.44 and 14.6 mg/L, respectively. IOA is expected to be metabolized via the same hydrolytic and enzymatic pathways as MTDID 44428, forming acrylic acid and isooctanol.
Similar mammalian metabolic pathways are expected for IOA and MTDID 44428 based on Sanders, et. al and Gut, et al. The source chemical and target chemical have the same molecular weight and very similar log Kow values. Similar ADME profiles are expected between the two substances as the metabolic pathway of acrylate esters has been well characterized. Acrylate and methacrylate functionalities are electrophilic and both may participate in Michael addition reactions. Metabolism is expected to occur through the same pathways, hydrolysis by carboxylesterases into two metabolites, an alcohol and an acrylic acid moiety with minor conjugation to gluthathione. Hydrolysis is similar across the acrylate family and enhances the elimination of the chemical upon exposure (McCarthy & Witz, 1997). Studies with n-butyl acrylate and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate confirm that the acrylic acid metabolite enters aerobic oxidation and in completely metabolized to CO2 with only a minor proportion be conjugated to glutathione and excreted in the urine as a N-acetyl cysteine conjugate (Sanders, JM et. al, 1988; Gut, I, et al. 1988). The previously mentioned studies have also demonstrated that enzymatic hydrolysis kinetic constants for methacrylate and acrylate esters are similar.
As can be seen in the table in section 5, the source and target substances have very similar environmental and mammalian hazard profiles for endpoints where each substance has experimental data. This further supports the hypothesis that the target and source substances are expected to behave similarly in mammalian and environmental systems with the same mechanism of action and that read-across of the data for higher-tier endpoints is appropriate in an effort to reduce unnecessary animal testing.

The test article was negative in the L5178Y TK+/- Mouse Lymphoma Mutagenesis assay. - Executive summary:
The test article was tested in the presence and absence of exogenous metabolic activation by Aroclor induced rat liver S-9 in the L5178Y TK+/- Mouse Lymphoma Mutagenesis Assay. Although some of the test cultures exhibited mutant frequencies which were two fold greater than the average mutant frequency of the corresponding solvent control, no dose response was seen and the mutant frequencies were within the range of experimental error (mutant frequencies similar to those for solvent controls for the positive controls). The test article was therefore considered negative in the assay under the test conditions

The initial cytotoxicity tests demonstrated that approximately 0.1 ul/ml produced complete toxicity in both activated (2% growth) and non-activated cultures (0% growth). Therefore, 0.11 ul/ml was used as the high dose for non-activated cultures and 0.2 ul/ml was used as the high dose for activated cultures.
For the non-activated cultures, all of the clonable cultures , except the culture which received the lowest dose (0.0015 ul/ml) exhibited mutant frequencies which were not significantly higher than those of solvent controls. The 0.0015 ul/ml dose culture exhibited a mutant frequency which was twice that of the average mutant frequencies of the corresponding solvent controls, but since there was no dose response, and the average mutant frequency was the same as the solvent control for the positive control, the mutant frequency was considered to be within the range of experimental error.
For the activated cultures, three of the clonable cultures exhibited mutant frequencies which were twice that of the average mutant frequency of the corresponding solvent controls. However, there was no dose response and the highest mutant frequency did not exceed that of solvent controls for the positive control. Therefore the data points were considered to be within the range of experimental error.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (negative)
