Additional information

Target CAS no. 2387-03-3 - C.I. Pigment Yellow 101: Summary

Acute oral toxicity:

In a study report given by BSF (1977), acute oral toxicity was evaluated in rats by using Lumogen LT light yellow at 4600 mg/kg bw in 0.5% aqueous carboxymethylcellulose preparation by single exposure and animals were observed for 14 days. No effect on survival of treated rats was observed. Yellow colored feces were observed in treated rats. Therefore, LD50 was considered to > 4600 mg/kg bw when rats were treated with Lumogen LT light yellow orally.

Based on the prediction done by using QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (2016), acute oral toxicity was estimated in Sprague-Dawley male and female rats by using 1-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-, [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenyl) methylene] hydrazine orally by gavage in 1% methylcellulose. The estimated LD50 was found to be 3894.559814453 mg/kg bw when Sprague-Dawley male and female rats were treated with 1-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-, [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenyl) methylene] hydrazine orally by gavage.

In a study conducted by Kodak Laboratory Chemicals (1960) for read across, acute oral toxicity was evaluated in rat in the concentration of 50-3200 mg/kg in NaCS by Standard acute method. Slight weakness and vasodialation were observed in treated rats. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be in the range of 400-3200 mg/kg of body weight when rats were treated with 2-tert-butylhydroquinone.

In a study conducted by Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB (2014) for read across, acute oral toxicity was evaluated in Wistar female rats by using 4,4'-methylenedi-2,6-xylenol in the concentration of 300 and 20000 mg/kg bw in corn oil by acute toxic class method and observed for 14 days. No effect on survival of treated rats was observed as compared to control. Mild to moderate lethargy and ataxia were observed in 300 and 2000 mg/kg bw treated rats. No external and internalgross pathological changes were observed in 2000 mg/kg bw treated rats. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 5000 mg/kg bw whenWistar female rats were treated with 4,4'-methylenedi-2,6-xylenol orally.

In a study conducted by Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB (2014) for read across, acute oral toxicity was evaluated in Wistar female rats by using 4,4'-methylenedi-2,6-xylenol in the concentration of 0 and 20000 mg/kg bw in water by acute toxic class method and observed for 14 days. No mortality and clinical sign were observed in treated rats. Increase in body weight on day 7th and 14th (post treatment) were observed in treated rats as compared to control. Skin and hair coat was observed wet in gross pathology as compared to control. Therefore, LD50 was considered to be 2000 mg/kg bw when Wistar female rats were treated with 4,4'-methylenedi-2,6-xylenol orally.

Thus based on above available data for target 1-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-, [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenyl) methylene] hydrazine (CAS no 2387-03-3) and its structurally related read across 2-tert-butylhydroquinone (CAS no 1948-33-0) and 4, 4'-methylenedi-2, 6-xylenol (CAS no 1948-33-0) as per the CLP regulation is likely to be non hazardous by oral route.

Acute inhalation toxicity:

The chemical 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde [Synonym: C.I. Pigment Yellow 101] has a high melting point of 301oC. Thus, it is expected to have low vapour pressure. Therefore, exposure by the inhaltion route by the vapors of this chemical is unlikely. In addition, the particle size distribution of the chemical was found to be in the range of 150 micron to 25 micron which is not of inhalable size. Thus, taking all these aspects into consideration, acute toxicity by the inhalation route is expected to be unlikely. Thus, this end point was considered for waiver since the chemical is not likely to exhibit acute toxicity by the inhalation route.

Acute dermal toxicity:

Based on the prediction done by using QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (2016), acute dermal toxicity was estimated in Fischer 344 male and female rats by using 1-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-, [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenyl) methylene] hydrazine dermally for 24 hours. The estimated LD50 was found to be 4247.017578125 mg/kg bw when Fischer 344 male and female rats were treated with 1-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-, [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenyl) methylene] hydrazine dermally for 24 hours.

Based on the above reviewed study for the target 1-Naphthalenecarboxaldehyde, 2-hydroxy-, [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthalenyl) methylene] hydrazine (CAS no 2387-03-3) as per the CLP regulation is likely to be non hazardous by dermal route to rabbits.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
The LD50 value for 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)methylene]hydrazone in F344 rats is estimated to be 4247 mg/kg bw by dermal route of exposure.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The chemical 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)methylene]hydrazone (Yellow 101) was not found to be toxic in acute toxicity study by the oral and dermal route.

Acute inhlation toxicity is also unlikely given the high melting point of this chemical, resulting in low vapour pressure and therefore exposure by the inhalation route will be unlikely. In addition, the particle size distribution of the chemical was found to be in the range of 150 micron to 25 micron which is not of inhalable size. Thus, acute toxicity by the inhalation route is also unlikely

Considering all of the above data, the chemical 2-hydroxynaphthalene-1-carbaldehyde [(2-hydroxy-1-naphthyl)methylene]hydrazone is not likely to be acute toxic by the oral, inhaalation and dermal route
