Test animals
- Species:
- rabbit
- Strain:
- New Zealand White
- Sex:
- male/female
- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- Animals were approximately 8 weeks old when received and equilibrated for at least one week in the laboratory. Apparently healthy rabbits were selected for the test. The animals were identified by cage tags noting the test article, starting date, animal number and sex. In addition, each animal was identified by a numbered metal eartag or an indelible earmark. The animals were housed in suspended wire mesh cages and 2/cage in initial study. Fresh Purina rabbit chow and water were freely available and the animal was kept temperature controlled and cleaned in accordance with AAALAC standards. Animals were received from a combination of Ace Animals, Perfection Breeders, and Nicholas Helf and with weights between 2.0 and 2.9 kg.
Administration / exposure
- Type of coverage:
- occlusive
- Vehicle:
- unchanged (no vehicle)
- Details on dermal exposure:
- Immediately prior to dosing, a 200 square cm area was clipped from the abdomen of the animals. Abasions were made in one half of the animals that extended the length of the exposure site and scratched the stratum corneum without reaching the derma or producing bleeding. The test article was applied once dermally to the prepared site under gauze patches and secured with adhesive tape and the trunks were wrapped with impervious material. The test article was kept in contact with the skin for 24 h, at which time the wrappings were removed. The exposure site was wiped, but not washed to remove excess material.
- Duration of exposure:
- 24 h
- Doses:
- 10240, 12800, 16000, 20000 mg/kg
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 4; D1: 2 males, 2 females; D2: 4 females; D3: 4 females; D4: 2 males, 2 females
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- Dermal reactions were scored by Draize scoring system at 24 h. The rabbits were observed daily for 14 days for signs of toxicity, pharmacological effects and mortality. Body weights were recorded pretest and in the survivors at 14 days. Necropsy was performed in animals that died during the study for the initial test and all animals in the repeated test due to poor condition of the rabbits on day 14.
- Statistics:
- LD 50 was calculated according to the method of Litchfield J.T. Jr. and F. Wilcoxon (1949) or Horn H.J. Biometrics

- Effect level:
- 13 800 mg/kg bw
- 95% CL:
- 10 900 - 17 400
- Mortality:
- No deaths occured at the 10,240 mg/kg dose level, 2/4 females died on Days 11 and 13 at the 12,800 mg/kg dose level, 3/4 females died at the 16,000 mg/kg dose level, and 2/2 males and 1/2 females dies at the 20,000 mg/kg dose level.
- Clinical signs:
- other: Toxic signs included few feces, yellow nasal discharge, alopecia, emaciation, coma, ptosis, diarrhea, ataxia, anorexia and adipsia. At 24 h, very slight to moderate erythema was observed at all doses with severity increasing with dose level. Very slight
- Gross pathology:
- Necropsy observations included lung, heart and gastrointestinal abnormalities. Severe skin reactions were also observed at 15,000 and 20,000 mg/kg and loss of body fat and muscle at 12,800 and 16,000 mg/kg.
- Other findings:
- White nodules in the liver, pale kidney, and small spleen were observed at the highest dose level and were considered non-specific by the study director.

Justification for Read Across from Analogue EC 272-723-1
Common Manufacturing Process:The submission substance (EC 273-527-9) and the analogue (EC 272-723-1) are produced under a common manufacturing process in which a phosphorodithioic acid ester intermediate, (RO)2PS2H, is produced by the reaction of phosphorus pentasulfide with an alcohol or a mixture of two alcohols of a similar class - branched alcohol containing C8, C5 and C4 carbons (submission substance) and C3 and C8 carbons (analogue). The intermediate is neutralized with zinc oxide to produce the final multicomponent substance. The reaction is performed in the presence of a highly refined base oil which accounts for 8 – 10.3 % of the final products.
Impurities:The level of impurities in the submission substance and the analogue (data source) is minimal. Impurities have been identified as residual, unreacted alcohols from the production of the phosphorodithioic acid ester intermediates (isobutanol, pentanol and 2-ethylhexanol in the submission substance and isopropanol and 2-ethylhexanol in the analogue).
Same Chemical Category:The submission substance (EC 273-527-9) and the analogue (EC 272-723-1), generically referred to as ZDDPs, have been shown to have sufficient structural similarities to be included in the Zinc Dialkydithiophosphate Category (ZDDPs) in the United States Environmental Protection Agency High Production Volume (HPV) Chemical Challenge Program.
Structural Similarity:The primary feature accounting for the similarity of the submission substance (EC 273-527-9) and the analogue (EC 272-723-1) is the common organometallic core structure consisting of a central zinc metal bonded to four alkyldithiophosphate esters (ligands) by coordinate covalent bonds -Zn[(S2P(OR)2]2.Structural variations between the submission substance and the analogue are related to the alkyl (R) groups of the alkyldithiophosphate ligands.
The analogue/data source (EC 272-723-1) is a multicomponent mixture of ZDDP monomers and dimers containing isopropyl dithiophosphate ligands, 2-ethylhexyl dithiophosphate ligands, and mixtures of isopropyl and 2-ehtylhexyl dithiophosphate ligands with a molecular weight range of 492 – 772 (monomer).
The submission substance (EC 273-527-9) is a multicomponent mixture of ZDDP monomers and dimers containing isobutyl dithiophosphate ligands, pentyl dithiophosphate ligands, 2-ethylhexyl dithiophosphates ligands and mixtures of isobutyl, pentyl and 2-ethylhexyl dithiophosphate ligands with a molecular weight range of 548 – 772 (monomer).
Tanimoto Fingerprint (ToxMatch Version 1.06 software) gives a similarity index greater than 0.8 (values range from 0, no similarity to 1, identical). Peer reviewed literature indicates that values greater than 0.6 are significantly similar.DSSTox similarity was 80% between the submission substance and the analogue.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Interpretation of results:
- study cannot be used for classification
- Remarks:
- Migrated information
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test material was practically non-toxic when applied dermally to male or female New Zealand White Rabbits.
- Executive summary:
In an acute dermal toxicity study, New Zealand White rabbits were exposed to the test substance at concentrations of 10240, 12800, 16000, 20000 mg/kg. The LD50 on Day 14 post-exposure was 13,800 mg/kg. Toxic signs observed in all dose groups included mucus in feces, yellow nasal discharge, alopecia, lethargy and ptosis. Based on the results of this study, this test substance would not be classified in accordance with the classification system of GHS. This toxicity study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for acute dermal toxicity in rabbits.
