Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
This read-across is based on the hypothesis that source and target substances have similar toxicological properties because
- they are manufactured from similar or identical precursors under similar conditions
- they share structural similarities with common functional groups (corresponding to scenario 2 of the read-across assessment framework): both, the target and source substance, are aliphatic amines with C8-18 alkyl chains and acetate functions
- Two thirds (w/w) of the target substance Reaction product of lauryl-PDA/lauryl-DETA with chloroacetic acid (excluding the solvent water) are composed of the source substance DOPA-Glycinate. The remaining third of Reaction product of lauryl-PDA/lauryl-DETA with chloroacetic acid consists of other aliphatic amines and derivatives which are considered as structural analogues to those constituting the source substance DOPA-Glycinate and may therefore be expected to elicit comparable (eco)toxicological effects.

The read-across hypothesis is based on structural similarity of target and source substances. Based on available experimental data, including key physicochemical properties and data from acute toxicity, repeated dose toxicity, genotoxicity and short term ecotoxicity studies, the read-across hypothesis is supported by a quite similar toxicological profile of both substances.

(Eco)toxicological, physicochemical and environmental fate data are summarised in the data matrix; robust study summaries are included in the Technical Dossier in the respective sections.

Therefore, read-across from the existing ecotoxicity, environmental fate and toxicity studies conducted with the source substances is considered as an appropriate adaptation to the standard information requirements of the REACH Regulation for the target substance, in accordance with the provisions of Annex XI, 1.5 of the REACH Regulation.

Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across: supporting information
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across source
Type of study:
guinea pig maximisation test
Justification for non-LLNA method:
A valid GPMT conducted according to guideline is available, which is reliable without restrictions and adequate for classification and labelling purposes. Potency estimation is not mandatory when existing guideline and GLP conforming data are available, which were conducted before the new annex of the REACH Regulation entered into force. Moreover, no indication for skin sensitisation was observed in this study, thus, no dose response information is needed. For this reason and for reasons of animal welfare no additional LLNA was conducted.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (not sensitising)
Additional information:

No experimental data are available for teh target substance Reaction product of lauryl-PDA/lauryl-DETA with chloroacetic acid. However, a GPMT test is availabel for teh closely related source substance DOPA-Glycinate. A justification for read-across is attached to IUCLID section 13.

The skin sensitizing potential of DOPA-Glycinate (100% a.i.) was tested in 10 Pirbright white Guinea pigs using the Guinea pig maximisation test, according to EC method B.6 (1996) and OECD guideline 406 (1992). The challenge concentration tested was 1% of the test item in petrolatum.

No deviations from the methods prescribed by the guideline were reported.

No allergic skin reactions occurred in test animals 24 and 48 h after the end of the challenge procedure with the test item at a concentration of 1% in petrolatum. The sensitisation rate was 0%.

Thus, DOPA-Glycinate was not a skin sensitizer in this GPMT test.

There is no data gap for the endpoint skin sensitisation. Although no human data are available, there is no reason to believe that results obtained in guinea pigs would not be applicable to humans.

Respiratory sensitisation

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information:

There is no information available for respiratory sensitisation. Therefore, there is a data gap in this respect. However, the data gap cannot be fulfilled with experimental data, since there is no internationally accepted animal model for respiratory sensitisation. In case human data for respiratory sensitisation emerges, this will be taken into account.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data Reaction product of lauryl-PDA/lauryl-DETA with chloroacetic acid does not need to be classified and labelled according to the CLP Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 with respect to sensitisation.
