Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described in vitro chromosome aberration test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item Afilan V5756 did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in the V79 Chinese hamster cell line.
Therefore, the test item Afilan V5756 is considered to be non-clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test.
Executive summary:

To investigate the potential of Afilan V5756 to induce structural chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster V79 cells, anin vitrochromosome aberration assay was carried out.

The chromosomes were prepared 20 h after start of treatment with the test item. The treatment interval was 4 h with and without metabolic activation in experiment I. In experiment II, the treatment interval was 4 h with and 20 h without metabolic activation.

Duplicate cultures were treated at each concentration. 100 metaphases per culture were scored for structural chromosomal aberrations, except for 15.6 µg/mL (experiment I with metabolic activation) and 31.3 µg/mL (experiment II without metabolic activation): 200 cells for the 1st culture and 100 cells for the 2nd culture.

The test item was prepared in cell culture medium followed by ultrasound for around 5 minutes prior to treatment. After that the test item was well suspended.

The following concentrations were evaluated for the microscopic analysis of chromosomal aberrations:

Experiment I:

without metabolic activation: 15.6, 250, 500 and 1000 µg/mL

with metabolic activation: 15.6, 500, 1000 and 1500 µg/mL

Experiment II:

without metabolic activation: 15.6, 31.3, 62.5 and 125.0 µg/mL

with metabolic activation: 900, 1600 and 1800 µg/mL

Precipitation of the test item was observed with and without metabolic activation in both experiments.

Toxic effects of the test item were observed in experiment I without metabolic activation at concentrations of 500 µg/mL and higher, with metabolic activation at concentrations of 1000 µg/mL and higher. In experiment II without metabolic activation (long time exposure) toxic effects of the test item were observed at concentrations of 62.5 µg/mL and higher, with metabolic activation at concentrations of 1600 µg/mL and higher.

In both experiments, no biologically relevant increase of the aberration rates was noted after treatment with the test item with and without metabolic activation. The aberration rates of all dose groups treated with the test item were within the historical control data of the negative control.

In the experiments I and II with and without metabolic activation no biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of polyploid cells was found after treatment with the test item as compared to the controls.

EMS (400 and 900 µg/mL) and CPA (0.83 µg/mL) were used as positive controls and induced distinct and biologically relevant increases in cells with structural chromosomal aberrations.

The positive controls induced the appropriate responses.

There was no evidence of Afilan V5756 induced over background.

This study is classified as acceptable. This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OPPTS 870.5375; OECD 473 for in vitro cytogenetic mutagenicity data.

Justification for type of information:
Justification for read-across:
The read-across approach is appropriate due to similar composition of source substance and registered substance. From the available data it can be concluded that the potential of genic toxicity of substances with different alkyl moieties (C12 and C16) is comparable.
Data for source substance are conducted on alkyl phosphoric esters, whereas the substance to be registered is neutralized with potassium hydroxide. As both substances dissociates in aqueous media, there are no reasons to assume a different profile for this endpoint.

In conclusion, in the described in vitro cell gene mutagenicity test under the experimental conditions reported, the test item Afilan V5756 is considered to be non-mutagenic in the HPRT locus using V79 cells of the Chinese Hamster.
Executive summary:

In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay (HPRT locus],V79 cells culturedin vitro were exposed to Afilan V5756 suspended in cell culture medium (MEM + 0% FBS 4h treatment; MEM + 10% FBS 20h treatment) at concentrations of

- 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500 and 2000 µg/mL (without metabolic activation, Experiment I)

- 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250 and 1500 µg/mL (with metabolic activation, Experiment I)

- 7.5, 10, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150 and 175 µg/mL (without metabolic activation, Experiment II)

- 150, 200, 300, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400 µg/mL (with metabolic activation, Experiment II).

Afilan V5756 was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations.

Biologically relevant growth inhibition was observed in experiment I and II with and without metabolic activation.

In experiment I without metabolic activation the relative growth was 24.6% for the highest concentration evaluated (2000 µg/mL). The highest biologically relevant concentration evaluated with metabolic activation was 1500 µg/mL with a relative growth of 23.9%. In experiment II without metabolic activation the relative growth was 15.7% for the highest concentration (175 µg/mL) evaluated. The highest concentration evaluated with metabolic activation was 1400 µg/mL with a relative growth of 20.0%.

In experiment I without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.00 was found at a concentration of 500 µg/mL with a relative growth of 96.5%.

In experiment I with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.75 was found at a concentration of 1500 µg/mL with a relative growth of 23.9%.
In experiment II without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 2.43 was found at a concentration of 175 µg/mL with a relative growth of 15.7%.
In experiment II with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.21 was found at a concentration of 150 µg/mL with a relative growth of 101.3%.

The positive controls did induce the appropriate response. 

There was no evidence(or)evidence of a concentration related positive responseof induced mutant colonies over background.

This study is classified as acceptable.  This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OPPTS 870.5300, OECD 476 forin vitromutagenicity (mammalian forward gene mutation) data.

First Experiment

Confirmation of the Criteria and Validity

The treatments for the sterility control and the determination of the titre didn't show any inconsistencies. The determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls were in the normal range of the test laboratory. All positive controls (diagnostic mutagenes) showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation.

Solubility and Toxicity

The test item was suspended in deionised water. All concentrations were weighed directly. As no complete dissolution was possible, undissolved particles were visible on the plates. No signs of toxicity towards the tested strains could be observed. The background lawn was visible and the number of revertant colonies was not reduced.

Mutagenicity

No significant increase of the number of revertant colonies in the treatments with and without metabolic activation could be observed. No concentration-related increase over the tested range was found. Therefore, the test item is stated as not mutagenic under the test conditions.

To verify this result, a second experiment was performed using the pre-incubation method.

Second Experiment

Confirmation of the Criteria and Validity

The treatments for the sterility control and the determination of the titre didn't show any inconsistencies. The determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls were in the normal range of the test laboratory. All positive controls showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation.

Solubility and Toxicity

The test item was suspended in deionised Water. All concentrations were weighed directly. As no complete dissolution was possible, undissolved particles were visible on the plates. No signs of toxicity towards the tested strains could be observed. The background lawn was visible and the number of revertant colonies was not significantly reduced.

Mutagenicity

No significant increase of the number of revertant colonies in the treatments with and without metabolic activation was observed. No concentration-related increase over the tested range was found.

Therefore, the test item is stated as not mutagenic under the test conditions.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Under the conditions of the test, the test item didn't show mutagenic effects towards Salmonella typhimurium, strains TA 97a, TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535.
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria according to OECD guideline 471, strains TA 97a, TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535 of S. typhimurium were exposed to Silastol H 200 TS, at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation, (S9 mix; Aroclor induced rat liver).

The initial Mutation Test was performed as plate incorporation method; the confirmatory and complementary assays were performed according to the pre-incubation method.

 

No signs of toxicity towards the bacteria could be observed. None of the concentrations caused a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies in the tested strains. The test item didn't show any mutagenic effects in both experiments.

The test item Silastol H 200-TS is considered as "not mutagenic under the conditions of the test".

In conclusion, in the described in vitro cell gene mutagenicity test under the experimental conditions reported, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic in the HPRT locus using V79 cells of the Chinese Hamster.
Executive summary:

In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay (HPRT locus],V79 cells culturedin vitro were exposed to the test item suspended in (MEM + 0% FBS 4h treatment; MEM + 10% FBS 20h treatment) at concentrations of

- 0.316, 1.00, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 650, 1000 and 1750 µg/mL (without metabolic activation, Experiment I)

- 0.010, 0.316, 1.00, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000 and 2500 µg/mL (with metabolic activation, Experiment I)

- 0.0316, 0.100, 0.316, 1.00, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316 and 650 µg/mL (without metabolic activation, Experiment II)

- 0.75, 2.5, 7.5, 25, 75, 250, 750 and 1500 µg/mL (with metabolic activation, Experiment II).

The test item was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations.

A biologically relevant growth inhibition was observed in experiment I and II without metabolic activation. In experiment I without metabolic activation the relative growth was 17.5% for the highest concentration (1750 µg/mL) evaluated. In experiment II without metabolic activation the relative growth was 10.2% for the highest concentration (650 µg/mL) evaluated.

No biologically relevant growth inhibition was observed in experiment I and II with metabolic activation. In experiment I the highest biologically relevant concentration evaluated with metabolic activation was 2500 µg/mL with a relative growth of 80.8%. In experiment II the highest concentration evaluated with metabolic activation was 1500 µg/mL with a relative growth of 76.2%.

In experiment I without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.53 was found at a concentration of 3.16 µg/mL with a relative growth of 124.0%.

In experiment I with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.93 was found at a concentration of 3.16 µg/mL with a relative growth of 105.6%.
In experiment II without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.63 was found at a concentration of 0.0316 µg/mL with a relative growth of 104.3%.
In experiment II with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 2.00 was found at a concentration of 0.75 µg/mL with a relative growth of 98.7%.

The positive controlsdidinduce the appropriate response. 

There was no evidence of a concentration related positive responseof induced mutant colonies over background.

This study is classified as acceptable.  This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OPPTS 870.5300, OECD 476 forin vitromutagenicity (mammalian forward gene mutation) data.

Additional information

Ames Test

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria according to OECD guideline 471, strains TA 97a, TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535 of S. typhimurium were exposed to the read-across substance1-Octadecanol, phosphate, potassium salt(Silastol H 200 TS), at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation. No signs of toxicity towards the bacteria could be observed. None of the concentrations caused a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies in the tested strains. 1-Octadecanol, phosphate, potassium salt didn't show any mutagenic effects in both experiments

 

Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test

Anin vitromammalian cell assay according to OECD Guideline 476

was performed in V79, (HPRT locus), to test the potential of the read-across substance Phosphoric acid, dodecyl ester, potassium salt (Afilan V5756) to cause gene mutation and/or chromosome damage. Cells were exposed to the test substance in cell culture medium (MEM + 0% FBS 4h treatment; MEM + 10% FBS 20h treatment) up to cytotoxic concentrations, with and without metabolic activation.There was no evidence of a concentration related positive response of induced mutant colonies over background.

The same study was conducted with the read-across substance hexadecyl dihydrogen phosphate. As well, in this studythere was no evidence of a concentration related positive response of induced mutant colonies over background.

 

 

Chromosomal Aberration Test

The potential of the read-across substance Phosphoric acid, dodecyl ester, potassium salt (Afilan V5756) to induce structural chromosome aberrations in Chinese hamster V79 cells, was investigated in an in vitro chromosome aberration assay, according to OECD guideline 479.

The chromosomes were prepared 20 h after start of treatment with the test item. The treatment interval was 4 h with and without metabolic activation in experiment I. In experiment II, the treatment interval was 4 h with and 20 h without metabolic activation.

In both experiments, no biologically relevant increase of the aberration rates was noted after treatment with the test item with and without metabolic activation. The aberration rates of all dose groups treated with the test item were within the historical control data of the negative control.

In the experiments I and II with and without metabolic activation no biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of polyploid cells was found after treatment with the test item as compared to the controls.

In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described in vitro chromosome aberration test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item Afilan V5756 did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in the V79 Chinese hamster cell line.

Therefore, Phosphoric acid, dodecyl ester, potassium salt (Afilan V5756) is considered to be non-clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test.

 

Conclusion

All in vitro and in vivo tests in genetic toxicity showed negative results. There is no reason to believe that the negative results would not be relevant to humans. No further testing is required.

Justification for read-across:

The read-across approach is appropriate due to similar composition of source substance and registered substance. From the available data it can be concluded that the potential of genetic toxicity of substances with different alkyl moieties (C12 and C16) is comparable.

Data for source substance are conducted on alkyl phosphoric esters, whereas the substance to be registered is neutralized with potassium hydroxide. As both substances dissociates in aqueous media, there are no reasons to assume a different profile for this endpoint.

Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint

Reliable data are available from the full in-virto test set required under REACH regulation.

Short description of key information:

Negative data are available from a gene mutation assay in bacteria, from a chromosomal aberration test and two mammalian cell gene mutation assays with the read-across substances.

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

No classification is required based on negative in-vitro data set.
