Description of key information

Skin Irritation:

The dermal irritation potential of 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor.

7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid was estimated to be not irritating to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.

Based on the estimated results, 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid can be considered to be not irritating to skin and can be classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.

Eye Irritation:

The ocular irritation potential of 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor.

Additional information

Skin Irritation:

In different studies,7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid has been investigated for potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with human data for target chemical and its structurally similar read across substances,disodium 5-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate [CAS: 3734-67-6] and D&C Red 6 [CAS: 5858-81-1].The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the dermal irritation potential was estimated for7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2 -{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid . 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acidwas estimated to beirritating(corrosive) to the skin of New Zealand White rabbits.

This result is supported by the experimental study conductedin an OECD GLP laboratory (Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB has the letter of access) for thestructurally similar read across substance, disodium 5-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate [CAS: 3734-67-6].The study was performed as per OECD Guidelines 402 and complying to the GLP procedures.

The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days.   

Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

The overall irritation score of the substance was determined to be 0 and no erythema and edema (skin irritation) were observed at the end of 14 days after patch removal. Hence, it was concluded that disodium 5-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate was not-Irritating to the skin of rats under the experimental conditions tested .Thus it can be concluded that the substance, disodium 5-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-(phenyldiazenyl)naphthalene-2,7-disulfonate can be classified under the category "Not Classified" as per CLP regulation.

These studies are further supported by the experimental study summarized in J. Soc. Cosmet. Chem., 40, 321-333 (November/December 1989); for the structurally similar read across substance, D&C Red 6 [CAS: 5858-81-1]. D&C Red 6 was mixed in propylene glycol at a 9 to 1 dilution for testing unless otherwise indicated (10% concentration). A colony of New Zealand albino rabbits that have genetically good ears and free from mites were used. Three rabbits, weighing two to three kilograms, were used for each assay. Animals were housed singly in suspended cages and fed Purina Rabbit Chow and water ad libitum. Animals were maintained on a 12-hour light and 12-hour dark cycle. A dose of 1 ml of the test material was applied and spread once daily to the entire inner surface of once for five days per week for two weeks. The opposite untreated ear of each animal served as an untreated control.

The irritancy produced by repeated application of the chemical on the surface epidermis in the rabbit ear is evaluated on a scale of 0 to 5. The grades are summarized as follows:

 0 = No irritation; 1 = few scales, no Erythema; 2 = diffuse scaling, no Erythema; 3 = Generalized scaling with Erythema; 4 = Scaling, Erythema and Edema; 5 = Epidermal necrosis and slough.

D&C Red 6 falls under Grade 0 (no irritation observed).

Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid can be considered to be not irritating to skin.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Eye Irritation:

In different studies, 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid has been investigated for potential for ocular irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments along with predicted data for target chemical and its structurally similar read across substances,D&C Red 6 [CAS: 5858-81-1] and disodium 5-amino-4-hydroxy-3-(phenylazo)naphthalene-2,7-disulphonate[CAS:3567-66-6].The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the ocular irritation potential was estimated for 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4 -[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid . 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid was estimated to be not irritating to the eyes of New Zealand White rabbits.

This result is supported by the experimental study summarized in GESTIS SUBSTANCE Database (information system in hazardous substance of the Berufsgenossenscheftn), 2017;for the structurally similar read across substance, D&C Red 6 [CAS: 5858-81-1]. Each rabbit received 2 installation of 0.2 ml of a 10% D & C Red No. 6 aqueous suspension into the conjunctival sac of rabbits 5 times per week for 4 weeks. The chemical produced only minimal irritative effects after 2 hours which could not confirmed the irritation potential. Hence, on the basis of findings the chemical D & C Red No. 6 (CAS no: 5858-81-1) can be considered as not irritating to the rabbits’ eye.

These results are further supported by the experimental study summarized in Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS)-SCCP/1102/07; for the structurally similar read across substance, disodium 5-amino-4-hydroxy-3-(phenylazo)naphthalene-2,7-disulphonate[CAS:3567-66-6]. 0.2 ml of a 10% aqueous solution (20 mg) or suspension of the test material was applied twice daily, five times weekly, for four weeks to the conjunctival sac of one eye of each of a group of six or more albino rabbits (40 applications). One hour after each application, the eyes were examined for evidence of staining and the irritation was scored according to Draize.

The overall irritation score after 20 days of observation was 0.0. Hence, disodium 5-amino-4-hydroxy-3-(phenylazo)naphthalene-2,7-disulphonate was considered to be not irritating to rabbit eyes.

Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid can be considered to be not irritating to eyes.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information, 7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acidis not likely to cause any irritation to eyes and skin.

Hence,7-acetamido-4-hydroxy-3-[(E)-2-{4-[2-(sulfooxy)ethanesulfonyl]phenyl}diazen-1-yl]naphthalene-2-sulfonic acid can be classified under the category “Not Classified” as per CLP regulation.
