Endpoint summary

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6). 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. 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6) 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.

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.

Executive summary:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6). 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. 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6) 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.

Prediction model based estimation and data from read across chemical have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6). The studies are as mentioned below

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6). 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. 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6) 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.

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.

Gene mutation toxicity was predicted for 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6) using the battery approach from Danish QSAR database (2017). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium bacteria in the Ames test. The end point for gene mutation 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.

Gene mutation toxicity study as predicted by 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde is negative and hence the chemical is predicted to not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (Japan chemicals collaborative knowledge database , 2017)to determine the mutagenic nature of 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde(123-11-5). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. Genetic toxicity in vitro study for p-Anisaldehyde was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential. For this purpose AMES test was performed according to Guidelines for Screening Mutagenicity Testing of Chemicals(Chemical Substances Control Law of Japan) and OECD Test Guideline 471 .The test material was exposed to Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvr A at different concentration in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. No mutagenic effects were observed. Hence p-Anisaldehyde was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA by AMES test .Hence the test substance cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by U. S. National Library of Medicine (CCRIS ;, 2017) to determine the mutagenic nature of Vanillin (121-33-5) . The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. Genetic toxicity in vitro study for Vanillin (121-33-5) was observed for its mutagenic potential. The test material was exposed to Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100 and TA 1535 in the presence of S9. No mutagenic effect was observed .Therefore Vanillin was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100 and TA 1535 by Ames test. Hence the test substance cannot be classified as non mutagenic in vitro.

 

Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across substance and applying weight of evidence 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6) 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

Thus based on the above annotation for the target chemical . 6-Methoxy-2-naphthaldehyde (3453-33-6) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
