Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

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 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid. The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with S9 metabolic activation system. 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to 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 estimaton for target chemical and data from read across chemicals have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of

3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid. The summary is 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 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid. The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

The ability of 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid to induce chromosomal aberration was predicted using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells using Danish QSAR database (2017). The end point for chromosome aberrations has been modeled in the Danish QSAR using the three software systems Leadscope, CASE Ultra and SciQSAR. Based on predictions from these three systems, a fourth and overall battery prediction is made. The battery prediction is made using the so called Battery algorithm. With the battery approach it is in many cases possible to reduce “noise” from the individual model estimates and thereby improve accuracy and/or broaden the applicability domain. 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid was assumed to not induce chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells and hence the chemical is predicted to not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

In a study by Zeiger et al (Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, 1988) for 50 -60% structurally simlar read across chemical, 6-Amino-4-nitro-1 -phenol-2-sulfonic acid (RA CAS no 96 -67 -3; IUPAC name: 3-amino-2-hydroxy-5-nitrobenzenesulfonic acid) was studied for its ability to induce mutations in strains of Salmonella typhimurium. The test compound was dissolved in DMSO and was tested at concentration of 0, 100, 333, 1000, 3333, 5000 or 10000 µg/plate using Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA97 and TA98 in the presence and absence of 10 % and 30 % rat and hamster liver S9 metabolic activation system. Preincubation assay was performed with a preicubation for 20 mins. The plates were observed for histidine independence after 2 days incubation period. Concurrent solvent and positive controls were included in the study. 6-Amino-4-nitro-1-phenol-2-sulfonic acidis not mutagenic to theSalmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA97 and TA98 in the presence and absence of rat and hamster liver S9 metabolic activation system.

In a study for another read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Chung et al (Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1981) to determine the mutagenic nature 80 -90% structurally and functionally similar read across chemical of R salt (RA CAS no 135 -51 -3, IUPAC name: disodium 3-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonate). The study was performed by the standard plate incorporation assay and the preincubation method using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98, and TA100 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. Also, the liquid preincubation assays were timed for 30 min at 37°C in a Dri-block. The test chemical was dissolved in DMSO and upto a maximum nontoxic dose of 5000 µg/plate for plate incorporation assay and 1000 µg/plate for preincubation assay. Concurrent solvent and positive controls were also included in the study.R salt did not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98, and TA100 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the weight of evidence data available for the target chemical and its read across, 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the weight of evidence data available for the target chemical and its read across, 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulfonic acid (CAS no 90-40 -4) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
