Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
Type of information:
(Q)SAR
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
February 2020
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model and falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification
Justification for type of information:
The substance is a multi-constituent substance of limited solubility. CLP classification is available for the individual components of the substance via REACH Annex VI harmonised classifications, REACH Registration dossiers or notifications to the CLP inventory. As such, it is deemed inappropriate to conduct additional testing on the reaction mass subject to this registration when the results may be predicted on the basis of the components themselves. QSAR assessment using the following models (from the VEGA QSAR suite) is used assess each component with the associated range of results reported.
• Mutagenicity (Ames test) CONSENSUS model 1.0.2
• Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (CAESAR) 2.1.13
• Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (SarPy/IRFMN) 1.0.7
• Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (ISS) 1.0.2
• Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (KNN/Read-Across) 1.0.0

The following assessment tools are utilised:

Mutagenicity (Ames test) CONSENSUS model (version 1.0.2)
Mutagenicity (Ames test) Consensus model, based on the predictions of the available VEGA mutagenicity models (Caesar, SarPy, ISS and KNN).

Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (CAESAR) (version 2.1.13)
QSAR classification model for Mutagenicity based on a Support Vector Machine combined by a set of ToxTree rules developed by Benigni/Bossa. The model extends the original CAESAR Mutagenicity model 1.0 developed by Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Reference to the original model are found on the CAESAR Project website: http://www.caesar-project.eu/ .

Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (SarPy/IRFMN) (version 1.0.7)
QSAR classification model for Mutagenicity based on a set of rules built with SarPy software. Developed by Istituto Mario Negri, Italy; SarPy software developed by Politecnico di Milano, Italy. Model developed inside the VEGA platform.

Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (ISS) (version 1.0.2)
Classification model for Mutagenicity (Ames test) based on Benigni-Bossa (Istituto Superiore di Sanità) rule set as implemented in ToxTree 2.6.

Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (KNN/Read-Across) (version 1.0.0)
KNN (Read-Across) model for Mutagenicity (Ames test) developed by Istituto di Ricerche Farmacologiche Mario Negri.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
QSAR assessment using the following models (from the VEGA QSAR suite) gives the following outcome for the reaction mass:
Mutagenicity (Ames test) CONSENSUS model 1.0.2: Prediction is NON-Mutagenic, the result appears reliable
Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (CAESAR) 2.1.13: Prediction is NON-Mutagenic, the result appears reliable
Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (SarPy/IRFMN) 1.0.7: Prediction is NON-Mutagenic, the result appears reliable
Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (ISS) 1.0.2: Prediction is NON-Mutagenic, the result appears reliable
Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (KNN/Read-Across) 1.0.0: Prediction is NON-Mutagenic, the result appears reliable
This result is anticipated on the basis that phenol is not mutagenic to bacteria under the conditions of the Ames test. However, phenol presents positive results in other mutagenicity studies, and hence Mutagen Cat 2, H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects is applied to the overall reaction mass on the basis of the phenol content within the overall product.
On the above basis, it is proposed that further investigation of the substance using the Ames test is not necessary, and the outcome may be predicted on the basis of the components themselves.
