2'-acetonaphthone

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Repeated dose toxicity: Oral

The 90 days feeding study in rats has been carried out on the test chemical. 15 male and 15 female rats were given diets containing the test chemical for 90 days at concentrations reported to result in daily intakes of 33 mg/kg bw per day for males and 37 mg/kg bw per day for females. Different parameters like body weight and food consumption, haematologieal and blood chemical determinations were made on 8 rats of each sex at a 6-wk period, and in all rats at 12 wk. The tests were terminated at 90 days and at autopsy, liver and kidney weights were recorded and thefollowing organs from half the animals in each group were taken for histological examination. Measurements of growth, haematological and clinical chemical end-points, and gross and histological examination at necropsy revealed no significant adverse effects. Thus from above results it can concluded that the NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level ) of the test chemical was considered to be 33 mg/kg bw per day for males and 37 mg/kg bw per day for females.

Repeated dose toxicity: Inhalation

2'-acetonaphthone (CAS no 93-08-3) has very low vapor pressure of 0.000395 mm Hg at 21.9°C. So the potential for the generation of inhalable vapours is very low. Also the normal conditions of use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be highly unlikely. Also, the particle size distribution was determined in the range of 500 micrometer to 1000 micron.Therefore this end point for repeated dose toxicity by inhalation route is considered for waiver.

Repeated dose toxicity: Dermal

The acute dermal toxicity value for2'-acetonaphthone (CAS no 93-08-3)(as provided in section 7.2.3) is >2000 mg/kg body weight. Considering this, the end point for repeated dermal toxicity is considered as waiver

Additional information

Data available for the test chemicals was reviewed to determine the toxic nature upon repeated exposure. The studies are as mentioned below:

Repeated dose toxicity: Oral

The 90 days feeding study in rats has been carried out on the test chemical. 15 male and 15 female rats were given diets containing the test chemical for 90 days at concentrations reported to result in daily intakes of 33 mg/kg bw per day for males and 37 mg/kg bw per day for females. Different parameters like body weight and food consumption, haematologieal and blood chemical determinations were made on 8 rats of each sex at a 6-wk period, and in all rats at 12 wk. The tests were terminated at 90 days and at autopsy, liver and kidney weights were recorded and thefollowing organs from half the animals in each group were taken for histological examination. Measurements of growth, haematological and clinical chemical end-points, and gross and histological examination at necropsy revealed no significant adverse effects. Thus from above results it can concluded that the NOAEL (no observed adverse effect level ) of the test chemical was considered to be 33 mg/kg bw per day for males and 37 mg/kg bw per day for females.

In a 28 days repeated dose toxicity study, the effect of the test chemical was evaluated in male and female Sprague Dawley rats. The test chemical was administered by oral gavage in the concentration of 0, 125, 250 or 500 mg/kg body weight/day. 2 animals died at 500 mg/kg bw as compared to control.Abnormalities such as nasal discharge, red crust around the nostrils was observed in all treatment groups. In addition, a few cases of snuffling, eye lid swelling and hunched back posture were also observed in the treated groups. A significant decrease in body weights in male rats on the first, second and fourth week of treatment and in female rats, a significant decrease in body weight was observed on the first, second and third week of treatment were observed as compared to control. No effects on food and water consumption were observed as compared to control. In addition, In hematology, the test chemical resulted in significantly increased platelet count along with decreased MCV, MCH and MCHC levels. Treatment with 250 mg/kg body weight/day resulted in significantly decreased levels of hemoglobin and MCHC in male rats. At 250 mg/kg body weight/day, a significant decrease was noticed in neutrophils along with altered values of MCV in female rats. In clinical chemistry, significantly increased the level of testosterone in the 500 mg/kg body weight/day group in males, as well as it significantly increased the level of estrogen in the 250 mg/kg body weight/day group in females. Significant increased levels in cholesterol, potassium and albumin was also observed. Similarly, Changes in relative and absolute organ weight of spleen, kidney, liver, brain, heart, ovaries and uterus were observed when treated with 125, 250 or 500 mg/kg body weight/day. Nasal discharge, red crust around nostril, perineum wet, bloated stomach, viscous oily secretion was found inside the thoracic cavity. Small white solid mass slightly firm in consistency floating inside the urinary bladder was observed. However, due to adaptive metabolic and physiological changes, anoxic/ hypoxic conditions during anesthesia and terminal sacrifice, these findings were considered to be of no toxicological significance. No remarkable changes observed in control and the 500 mg/kg body weight/day-treated animals. A few microscopic findings observed in 500 mg/kg body weight/day-treated animals included collapsed lung with focal inflammation, focal fatty change and excess of lymphocytes in liver, inflammation in small intestine, reactive spleen and excess of mucous in colon. Since the histopathological changes were not observed in 125 mg/kg bw and these findings were also observed in the control animals. Hence, NOAEL was considered to be 125 mg/kg bw and LOAEL was considered to be 250 mg/kg body weight/day when Sprague Dawley male and female rats were exposed daily to the test chemical by oral route for 28 days.

Groups of 10 male and 10 female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to 0, 75, 225 and 750 mg test chemical/kg bw/day for >46 days by daily gavage application. Different parameters like clinical signs, body weight development and food consumption were examined. Blood samples were collected on the day of scheduled euthanasia (study day 33 or 34) for evaluation of selected hematology, coagulation and clinical chemistry parameters.A dose-related increase in total protein, albumin and globulin appeared to correlate with a dose-related increase in liver weight. Thus no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for the test chemical is considered to be 225 mg/Kg/day.

Repeated dose toxicity: Inhalation

2'-acetonaphthone (CAS no 93-08-3) has very low vapor pressure of 0.000395 mm Hg at 21.9°C. So the potential for the generation of inhalable vapours is very low. Also the normal conditions of use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be highly unlikely. Also, the particle size distribution was determined in the range of 500 micrometer to 1000 micron.Therefore this end point for repeated dose toxicity by inhalation route is considered for waiver.

Repeated dose toxicity: Dermal

The acute dermal toxicity value for2'-acetonaphthone (CAS no 93-08-3)(as provided in section 7.2.3) is >2000 mg/kg body weight. Considering this, the end point for repeated dermal toxicity is considered as waiver

Based on the data available for the test chemical and applying the weight of evidence approach, the test chemical does not exhibit toxicity upon repeated exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal route of exposure. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a toxicant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data available for the test chemical and applying the weight of evidence approach, the test chemical does not exhibit toxicity upon repeated exposure by oral, inhalation and dermal route of exposure. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a toxicant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
