Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- developmental toxicity
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Remarks:
- Source study for the purpose of read-across to the registered substance
- Adequacy of study:
- key study
- Study period:
- 2021
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- other: Study was conducted by a GLP accredited laboratory using OECD Testing Guideline 414. The study was conducted on 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid, which is the carboxylic acid component of the registered substance i.e. tosyl salt.
- Justification for type of information:
- The test substance was the carboxylic acid component of the registered substance (tosyl salt). Readacross between the tosyl salt carboxylic acid (6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid) and the registered
substance is considered justified as the registered substance is manufactured directly from 6-[(pTosyl)amino]hexanoic acid by simple neutralisation with triethanolamine (TEA). Other than ionization of
the carboxylic acid group, the 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid remains chemically unchanged upon salt
formation. In water, the acid and amine components of 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid, compound with
2,2’,2’’-nitrilotriethanol (1:1) dissociate completely and behave essentially as independent substances.
Since TEA can be considered non-hazardous, it is the acid component of the salt that will have a
more significant impact on the outcome of any (eco)toxicological or environmental tests. The pKa of the
carboxylic acid group in 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid (pKa = 4.90) is the same in the free acid as
it is in the TEA salt. As a result, 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid will respond to changes of pH in the
same way whether it is in the salt form or as the parent carboxylic acid and hence it’s bioavailability
will be the same.

- Vehicle:
- water
- Details on exposure:
- Dosage levels 100, 400, and 1600 mg/kg bw/day with 3-4-fold optimal interval were selected for the current study based on data for conducted screening toxicity study of the test item according OECD guideline 422.
The test item in the vehicle (water) was administered by gavage once daily to Sprague-Dawley female rats from day 5 to day 19 post-mating (inclusive). Three groups received the test item at dose-levels of 100, 400 or 1600 mg/kg bw/day. A concurrent vehicle control group received the vehicle (distilled water) on a comparable regiment and in the same volume of 10 mL/kg bw. Each group consists of 24-25 females with confirmed mating.
The vehicle and the test item were administered via an appropriately sized stainless steel ball-tipped dosing cannula connected with a syringe once daily. A separate cannula for each group was used. The dosage volume for all groups was 10 mL/kg body weight. Individual dosages were based on the last value body weights to provide the correct mg/kg bw/day dose.
During the dosing procedure, the formulation volume is continuously mixed on a magnetic stirrer.

All females were observed twice daily for mortality and morbidity and for signs of toxicity following dose administration. Body weights and food consumption are recorded at three-day intervals. On day 20 post-mating, the dams were sacrificed and subjected to a macroscopic examination and enumeration of corpora lutea. The weight of the thyroid gland, histopathological assessment of the thyroid gland, and assay of serum concentration of thyroxin (T4), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) were done in dams to observe pathological changes in thyroid function. Gravid uteri were weighed, and uteri content are examined to record implantation sites, early and late resorptions, dead, and live fetuses. The fetuses were weighed, sexed with measurement of anogenital distance (AGD), and submitted to external examination. Approximately half of the fetuses from each litter were subjected to a detailed examination of soft tissue by serial sectioning after fixation in Bouin’s solution while the other half underwent detailed skeletal examination following staining of bone with alizarin red and cartilage with alcian blue.
Examinations
- Maternal examinations:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: Yes
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: Yes
- Time schedule: All rats were observed twice daily, once in the morning and once in the afternoon at the same time, for morbidity and mortality. Each female was also observed for signs of toxicity approximately 30-45 minutes following dose administration. In addition, the presence of findings at the time of dose administration was recorded for individual animals.
BODY WEIGHT: Yes
- Time schedule for examinations: Individual female body weights were recorded during animal identification, at day of confirmed mating and group assignment (gestation day 0), on the first day of dose administration (gestation day 5), and at three-day intervals thereafter (gestation days 8, 11, 14, 17, and 20 as the day of euthanasia). Body weight value on gestation day 20 was corrected for gravid uterine weight to calculate maternal body weight change
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study): Yes
Food consumption was assessed for each female quantitatively as g/kg of body weight/day by weighing of feeder (cage lid) at the beginning of the day and 24 hours after. Food consumption was recorded prior to the initiation of dose administration (gestation days 0-1), and at three-day intervals thereafter (gestation days 4-5, 7-8, 10-11, 13-14, 16-17 and 19-20).
POST-MORTEM EXAMINATIONS: Yes
- Sacrifice on gestation day # 20
- Organs examined: A complete necropsy was conducted on all females at scheduled termination. Necropsy included examination of the external surface of the body, all orifices, the cranial cavity, the external surface of the brain, and the thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities including viscera.
Hysterectomy and examination of uterine content was done for all females. Ovaries were examined to determined number of corpora lutea. Gravid uterine weight was collected at scheduled necropsy. Uteri, which appear non-gravid by macroscopic examination, were opened and placed in 10 % ammonium sulfide solution for detection of early implantation loss. Thyroid glands were preserved and weighed after fixation. - Ovaries and uterine content:
- The ovaries and uterine content was examined after termination: Yes
Examinations included:
- Gravid uterus weight: Yes
- Number of corpora lutea: Yes
- Number of implantations: Yes
- Number of early resorptions: Yes
- Number of late resorptions: Yes
- Fetal examinations:
- - External examinations: Yes: all per litter
- Soft tissue examinations: Yes: half per litter
- Skeletal examinations: Yes: half per litter
- Anogenital distance of all live rodent pups: AGD, mm, divided to the cube root of the body weight - Statistics:
- All statistical tests were performed using Microsoft Excel (descriptive statistics) and statistical software Statistica for Window v.7.1 to compare the treated groups to the control group. The litter is accepted as an experimental unit for statistical analysis.
Continuous data variables (mean body weights and food consumption data) were analyzed by multi-factor analysis of variance ANOVA-2, followed by the Duncan test, to determine inter-group differences. Former implantation sites, number of corpora lutea, implantation loss indices, hormones concentration value, uterine, and thyroid weights were analyzed by parametric one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). If the results of the ANOVA were significant (p<0.05), Dunnett's test is applied to the data to compare the treated groups to the control group. The t-test was used additionally to compare each dose group with the control value. Number of male and female fetuses per litter, AGD value, and mean value of affected fetuses per litter were subjected to the Kruskal-Wallis nonparametric ANOVA test to determine intergroup difference and the t-test was applied to the AGD value to compare each dose from the control value.
The fetal body weight was analyzed by sex as well as for both sexes combined using a one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) as described above and the t-test was applied to compare each dose from the control value. Additionally, statistical analysis for fetal body weight was done using analysis of covariant with litter size as a covariant.
Descriptive data, percentage values, and pathomorphological data were analyzed by Fisher's Exact Test; the percentage of pre-implantation loss was analyzed by Yates' corrected Chi-square test. - Indices:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Daily dosages of 100, 400, and 1600 mg/kg bw of the test substance were administered by gavage once daily to three groups of Sprague-Dawley female rats from day 5 to day 19 post-mating (inclusive). A concurrent vehicle control group received the vehicle (distilled water) on a comparable regiment and in the same volume of 10 mL/kg bw. Each group consists of 24-25 females with confirmed mating.
The test item did not cause morbidity and mortality of pregnant females as well as any clinical signs. Under the conditions of this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for maternal toxicity and embryo-fetal development of 6-[[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]amino]hexanoic acid (ASCplus®, CAS 78521-39-8) is considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day. - Executive summary:
The potentially toxic effects of the test item 6-[[(4methylphenyl)sulphonyl]amino]hexanoic acid (ASCplus®, CAS 78521-39-8) on pregnancy and embryo-fetal development in rats was evaluated by an OECD TG 414. Daily dosages of 100, 400, and 1600 mg/kg bw of the test substance were administered by gavage once daily to three groups of Sprague-Dawley female rats from day 5 to day 19 post-mating (inclusive). A concurrent vehicle control group received the vehicle (distilled water) on a comparable regiment and in the same volume of 10 mL/kg bw. Each group consists of 24-25 females with confirmed mating.
The test item did not cause morbidity and mortality of pregnant females as well as any clinical signs. Pregnant females treated with 400 and 1600 mg/kg bw/day doses had lower body weight gain due to the lower weight of the gravid uterus. The lower gravid uterine weight was correlated to the slight decrease in the mean number of fetuses per uterus and an increase in pre-implantation loss for both these doses. The slight increase in pre-implantation loss is supposed to be due to the adverse effect of the first dose of ASCplus® administered on gestation day 5 during the implantation window in some females. Moreover, in the 1600 mg/kg bw/day dose group, the slight decrease in the mean number of fetuses was also correlated to the slight increase in post-implantation loss on the early stage.
In the 100 mg/kg bw/day dose group, there were no fetal alterations.In the 400 mg/kg bw/day dose group, with normal fetal body weight, the ossification of some bones was delayed; the percentage of males per litter was decreased.
In the 1600 mg/kg bw/day dose group, delayed ossification was associated with reduced fetal body weight and decreased percentage of males per litter.
Delayed ossification in fetuses correlated to the disturbance in maternal homeostasis of thyroid hormones.
Therefore, under the conditions of this study, the no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) for maternal toxicity and embryo-fetal development of 6-[[(4-methylphenyl)sulphonyl]amino]hexanoic acid (ASCplus®, CAS 78521-39-8) considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day.
A summary of the dose descriptors of maternal and embryo-fetal toxicity is attached.The test substance was the carboxylic acid component of the registered substance (tosyl salt). Read-across between the tosyl salt carboxylic acid (6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid) and the registered substance is considered justified as the registered substance is manufactured directly from 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid by simple neutralisation with triethanolamine (TEA). Other than ionization of the carboxylic acid group, the 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid remains chemically unchanged upon salt formation. In water, the acid and amine components of 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid, compound with 2,2’,2’’-nitrilotriethanol (1:1) dissociate completely and behave essentially as independent substances. Since TEA can be considered non-hazardous, it is the acid component of the salt that will have a more significant impact on the outcome of any (eco)toxicological or environmental tests. The pKa of the carboxylic acid group in 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid (pKa = 4.90) is the same in the free acid as it is in the TEA salt. As a result, 6-[(p-Tosyl)amino]hexanoic acid will respond to changes of pH in the same way whether it is in the salt form or as the parent carboxylic acid and hence it’s bioavailability will be the same.
