Description of key information
Repeated dose toxicity: oral
Data on short-term repeat dose oral toxicity study was not available for the target substance Reactive Red 024:1. To fill the data gaps, read-across approach is adapted using similar substanceReactive Red 286(FAT 40850).Read-across is claimed basis of structural relationship of the target and the source chemicals. Read-across substance have been investigated for 28-day repeated dose oral toxicity.Oral administration (gavage) of FAT 40850/A to Wistar rats at doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day, for 28 days resulted in no deaths and no test item related changes in daily or weekly observations or the functional observational battery (performed during week 4) including grip strength and locomotor activity. The study was performed under GLP conditions and in accordance with EU Method B.7. No findings were noted concerning the estrous stage of the female animals.
The following test item related findings were noted:
- Red stained feces, noted in males and females at all dose levels (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day) were considered to be caused by a dyeing effect of the test item but not to be adverse. Red discoloration was also detected macroscopically in multiple organs, like kidneys, mesenteric lymphnodes and stomach.
- A significant decrease in the white blood cell count and in lymphocytes (absolute) with values below ranges of historical control data in males at 1000 mg/kg/day was possibly related to the treatment with the test item. The lymphocyte value in males treated with 300 mg/kg/day was also decreased and there seemed to be a tendency in reduction of lymphocytes (absolute) with an effect on total WBC in the highest dose group. In the absence of histopathologigal changes e.g. in the spleen, bone marrow, thymus or lymphnodes and no findings in the females, this effect is considered not to be adverse.
- A decrease in potassium and phosphorus concentrations was noted in males at 1000 mg/kg/day and, as occurred in the high dose group, is considered to be test item-related, although potassium levels are within the range of historical data. Furthermore, the total protein level was increased in correlation with increased albumin and increased albumin/globulin ratio. As these findings were noted only in males and as there was no dose response relationship, these changes were considered not to be of adverse nature.
- The increase in liver weights is considered to be caused by an adaptive reaction but, in absence of further findings, e.g. pathohistological changes in the liver, not to be of adverse nature.
- Changes in kidney weights in males at 1000 mg/kg/day are in correlation with macroscopic and microscopic findings. Histologically, treatment related findings consisted of minimal to slight deposits of a red pigment in the kidneys of animals of both sexes treated with 1000 mg/kg/day and in females treated with 300 mg/kg/day. The pigment was red fine granular and located in the tubular epithelium, and sometimes associated with increased severity of hyaline droplets in males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day and minimal to slight vacuolar degeneration of tubular epithelium in females of the same dose group. The deposits of red pigment were considered to be not adverse itself, but the secondary reactions consisting of increased severity of hyaline droplets and vacuolar degeneration of tubular epithelium were deemed to be adverse. Based on the read across data generated from the 28-day repeated dose oral toxicity with FAT 40850/A in Wistar rats, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of target substance Reactive Red 024:1 is also considered to be 300 mg/kg/d.
Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation
However, the vapour pressure for the substance can be considered low owing to the high melting point (>350 °C), hence, the substance is considered to have low volatility. Synthesis and formulation of this chemical is performed in a closed process; the final product consists of liquid formulations only. Hence, the use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalation route will be unlikely to occur. Based on column 2, ‘Specific rules for adaptation from column 1’ of the table given in REACH Annex VII, the study on repeat dose inhalation toxicity only needs to be conducted if an exposure via inhalation is to be expected, based on vapour pressure and/or the likelihood of an exposure to aerosols, particles or droplets. Referring to the expected low volatility of the substance, the fact that the substance is imported into the EU in a formulated form as a dust-free powder or as a granulate, the exposure via inhalation is unlikely occur. Further, Reactive Red 024:1 was found to be miscible in water (water solubility 434 g/L) and have low log partition coefficient <-3.52), hence, in the case of dust of the substance entering the respiratory tract, it will be trapped in the mucus and cleared, thereby further limiting the absorption. The chemical showed low toxicity potential in the available acute inhalation toxicity study (LC50>1500 mg/m³) and also in acute oral toxicity study (LD50>5000 mg/kg), with no mortality or systemic toxicity.Further, no adverse effects were observed in a 28-day oral repeated dose toxicity study up to 300 mg/kg bw (with the source substance). Hence, safety for human health can be estimated via route to route extrapolation. Taking above arguments into account, low toxicity potential is expected on repeated exposure of Reactive Red 024:1 via inhalation route and hence testing by the inhalation route was considered scientifically not necessary.
Repeated dose toxicity: dermal
Currently no study to assess repeated dose dermal toxicity of FAT 40034 is available. However, the molecular weight of the substance is 802.1 g/mol, which indicates substance is too large for dermal absorption. Further, high water solubility (434 g/L) and low partition coefficient (-3.52), indicate the substance may be too hydrophilic to cross the lipid rich environment of thestratum corneum. Hence, the dermal uptake for the substance is expected to be low. Further results of exposure to test animals via the oral route in a repeated dose toxicity study with source substance are available, hence no elevated toxicity other than seen in this study, is expected via the dermal route and safety for human health can be estimated via route to route extrapolation. Similarly absence of systemic toxicity or mortality in skin irritation as well as sensitization studies with FAT 40034, further supports the conclusion that no additional adverse effects other than seen in repeated dose oral toxicity study with source substance are expected via dermal route. Further experience with similar chemical substances has demonstrated that it is very unlikely that toxicity related to the intrinsic properties of the substance only show up upon dermal exposure and not after systemic application. Taking into consideration all the above arguments, further experiments to assess repeated dose dermal toxicity are not taken into account.

FAT 40850/A TE was weighed into a glass beaker on a tared Mettler balance and a part of the vehicle (approx. one third) was added, stirred and the
remaining vehicle was added (except the first preparation, when in the low dose the total volume of the vehicle was added). The mixtures were stirred using a magnetic stirrer and stored at room temperature (15 - 25 °C).
Homogeneity of the test item in the vehicle was maintained during the daily administration period using a magnetic stirrer.
- Stability of dose formulations: stable in application formulations when kept four hours and eight days under room temperature due to recoveries which met the variation limit of 10% from the time-zero (homogeneity) mean.
- Storage of dose formulations: in glass beakers at room temperature (15 - 25 °C).

- Details on analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
- The analysis was performed by Harlan Laboratories Ltd. using a HPLC method provided by the Sponsor. After experimental start and during week 3, duplicate samples of the control group as well as three samples (top, middle and bottom) of about 2 g of each concentration were taken prior to dosing for analysis of homogeneity and concentration. Duplicate samples of about 2 g of each concentration were taken to confirm stability (4 h and 8 days). The samples were delivered to the analytical laboratory (Harlan Laboratories Ltd., Analytics, Itingen / Switzerland) at room temperature (20 ± 5 °C) and stored there at -20 ± 5 °C until analysis. The application formulations investigated during the study were found to comprise FAT 40850/A in the range of 93.3 % to 111.3 % and, thus, the required content limit of ±20 % with reference to the nominal concentration was met. The homogeneous distribution of FAT 40850/A in the preparations was approved because single results found did not deviate more than 5.6 % (<15 %) from the corresponding mean. The following acceptance criteria will be applied to analytical results:
sample contents should be within a range of ±20 % of nominal content. Formulations will be considered homogeneous if the maximum deviation from mean calculated from top, middle and bottom samples is not more than 15 %. The results obtained from storage stability samples should not deviate more than 10 % fromtime-zero reference (content or mean of homogeneity samples). - Duration of treatment / exposure:

• Fisher's exact-test - Clinical signs:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Red stained feces were noted in males and females treated with the test item for four weeks at all dose levels. Otherwise, no test item-related findings were noted at the daily observation. No abnormalities were recorded at the weekly behavioral observations in all animals at any dose level.

- Description (incidence and severity):
- In the males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, a statistically significant decrease in white blood cell (WBC) count was noted in correlation with significantly decreased absolute lymphocyte value.
- Clinical biochemistry findings:
- effects observed, non-treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- In the males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, a significant decrease in phosphorus and potassium concentration was noted. Due to the occurrence in the high dose group, these effects are considered to be test item-related, although potassium levels are within the range of historical data. Furthermore, the total protein level was increased in correlation with increased albumin and increased albumin/globulin ratio. As these findings were noted only in the males and there was no dose response relationship, these changes were considered not to be of adverse nature.
- Urinalysis findings:
- no effects observed
- Behaviour (functional findings):
- no effects observed
- Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- No significant differences of absolute organ weights were noted in the males. Significantly increased (p<0.05) liver/body weight ratio was noted in males of all treatment groups compared to control animals. Furthermore, in males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, the kidney/brain weight ratio was significantly increased (p<0.05). In the females, no significant differences in absolute and relative organ weights were noted. (see Table 1).
- Gross pathological findings:
- effects observed, treatment-related
- Description (incidence and severity):
- Red staining of kidneys and/or lymphnodes and/or stomach was noted in several male and female animals at all dose levels, and is considered not to be indicative of systemic toxicity. Otherwise, no test tem-related findings were noted at necropsy. See Table 2.
- Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:

- Relevant microscopic findings were recorded only in the kidneys. Deposits of a fine granular red pigment were recorded in the tubular epithelium at minimal to slight severity in both sexes treated with 1000 mg/kg/day and in females treated with 300 mg/kg/day. The deposits of red pigment were in some cases associated with increased severity of hyaline droplets in males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day and minimal to slight vacuolar degeneration of tubular epithelium in females treated with 1000 mg/kg/day.
- Details on results:
- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
All animals survived the scheduled treatment period.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
No effects on the body weight or body weight gain were noted in male and female animals during four weeks of treatment.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study)
No test item-related difference in the mean daily food consumption was noted at any dose level.
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
Daily Observations
Red stained feces were noted in males and females at all dose levels (from day 8 at 100 mg/kg/day, from day 5 at 300 mg/kg/day and from day 3 at 1000 mg/kg/day). Otherwise, no test item-related findings were noted at the daily observation.
In one female of the control group, red scabs around the left eye were noted from day 6 up to the end of treatment. In one female treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, hunched posture and dyspnoe were noted on day 14 of treatment. These findings were considered to be incidental.
Weekly Behavioral Observations
No abnormalities were recorded at the weekly behavioral observations in all animals at any dose level.
HAEMATOLOGY
In the males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, a distinctive and statistically significant (p<0.01) decrease in white blood cell count (WBC) was noted. This was in correlation with significantly decreased (p<0.01) absolute lymphocyte value. Both values were below the range of historical data.
Further, significant changes in differential WBC count were noted in males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day such as decrease in neutrophils, eosinophils, basophils, monocytes and large unstained cells. However, these values stayed within the historical data even though at the lower limit. Furthermore, in males treated with 300 mg/kg/day, lymphocytes were significantly decreased, but also within the range of historical data for rats of this age, strain and sex. Further, statistically significant changes in males in hemoglobin, hematocrit, mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) and hemoglobin concentration distribution width (HDW) are all within the historical control data, and, therefore, considered not to be treatment-related. There were no test item-related changes in hematological parameters detected in the females of all dose groups. The few significantly different parameters noted in females treated with 300 mg/kg/day only, were within the historical data range (HDW slightly higher) with no dose response-relationship and, therefore, considered not to be treatment-related.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
No adverse test item-related findings in clinical biochemistry parameters were noted. In the males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, significantly decreased alanine aminotransferase (ALAT) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels were detected. A decrease in these parameters was considered to be within the range of biological variance. In the same animals, a decrease in potassium and phosphorus concentrations was noted. Due to the occurrence in the high dose group, these effects are considered to be test item-related, although potassium levels are within the range of historical data. Furthermore, the total protein level was increased in correlation with increased albumin and increased albumin/globulin ratio. As these findings were noted only in males and as there was no dose response relationship, these changes were considered not to be of adverse nature. There were no changes considered to be test item-related in clinical biochemistry parameters in the females of all dose groups. The few significantly different parameters only in females treated with 300 mg/kg/day, are all within the range of historical data and considered not to be treatment related.
URINALYSIS
No test item-related effects were noted in male and female animals of all dose groups compared to control group.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
Functional Observational Battery (Screen). No findings were evident during the functional observational battery performed during week 4 of treatment.
Grip Strength
No differences compared to the control group were recorded in the grip strength of male and female animals at any dose level.
Locomotor Activity
There were no effects on the locomotor activity observed in male and female animals of all groups.
ORGAN WEIGHTS (see table 1)
In the males, significantly increased (p<0.05) liver/body weight ratio was noted in all treatment groups. The liver/brain weight ratio as well as the absolute mean liver weight was slightly (nonsignificantly) increased in males of all treatment groups (see table below). The kidney/brain weight ratio was significantly (p<0.05) increased in the males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day. No significant changes were noted in the absolute and relative organ weights of the females.
GROSS PATHOLOGY (see table 2)
Test item-related dark red discoloration of the kidney was noted in four males treated with 300 mg/kg/day and all males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day. In the males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day, the mesenteric lymphnodes showed also a light red discoloration. In the females, dark red discoloration of the kidneys was noted in four out of five animals treated with 100 mg/kg/day and all animals treated with 300 mg/kg/day and 1000 mg/kg/day, respectively. In the females treated at 1000 mg/kg/day, light red discoloration of the lymphnodes was also noted in all animals and discolored (light red) stomach in one animal. Furthermore, pelvic dilation was noted in one control male and red foci in the thymus were recorded in three control males as well as two males treated with 300 mg/kg/day.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: NON-NEOPLASTIC (see table 3)
Relevant microscopic findings were recorded only in the kidneys. The remainder of further findings recorded was within the range of normal background lesions which may be recorded in animals of this strain and age.
Kidneys
Deposits of a fine granular red pigment were recorded in the tubular epithelium at minimal to slight severity in both sexes of group 4 and in females of group 3. The deposits of red pigment were sometimes associated with increased severity of hyaline droplets in males of group 4 and minimal to slight vacuolar degeneration of tubular epithelium in females of group 4.
OTHER FINDINGS

- Executive summary:
The 28-day oral repeat dose study with FAT 40850/A was carried out in Wistar rats according to OECD guideline 407 and EU method B.7 at doses of 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day. The study was performed under GLP-conditions. A control group was treated similarly with the vehicle, bidistilled water, only. Each group comprised 5 animals per sex which were terminated after 28 days of treatment. Clinical signs, outside cage observation, food consumption and body weights were recorded periodically during the acclimatization and treatment periods. Functional observational battery, locomotor activity and grip strength were assessed during week 4. At the end of the treatment period, blood samples were withdrawn for hematology and plasma chemistry analyses. Urine samples were collected for urinalyses. All animals were killed, necropsied and examined post mortem. Histological examinations were performed on organs and tissues from all control and high dose animals, and all gross lesions from all animals.
The following test item related findings were noted:
- Red stained feces, noted in males and females at all dose levels (100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day) were considered to be caused by a dyeing effect of the test item but not to be adverse. Red discoloration was also detected macroscopically in multiple organs, like kidneys, mesenteric lymphnodes and stomach.
- A significant decrease in the white blood cell count and in lymphocytes (absolute) with values below ranges of historical control data in males at 1000 mg/kg/day was possibly related to the treatment with the test item. The lymphocyte value in males treated with 300 mg/kg/day was also decreased and there seemed to be a tendency in reduction of lymphocytes (absolute) with an effect on total WBC in the highest dose group. In the absence of histopathologigal changes e.g. in the spleen, bone marrow, thymus or lymphnodes and no findings in the females, this effect is considered not to be adverse.
- A decrease in potassium and phosphorus concentrations was noted in males at 1000 mg/kg/day and, as occurred in the high dose group, is considered to be test item-related, although potassium levels are within the range of historical data. Furthermore, the total protein level was increased in correlation with increased albumin and increased albumin/globulin ratio. As these findings were noted only in males and as there was no dose response relationship, these changes were considered not to be of adverse nature.
- The increase in liver weights is considered to be caused by an adaptive reaction but, in absence of further findings, e.g. pathohistological changes in the liver, not to be of adverse nature.
- Changes in kidney weights in males at 1000 mg/kg/day are in correlation with macroscopic and microscopic findings. Histologically, treatment related findings consisted of minimal to slight deposits of a red pigment in the kidneys of animals of both sexes treated with 1000 mg/kg/day and in females treated with 300 mg/kg/day. The pigment was red fine granular and located in the tubular epithelium, and sometimes associated with increased severity of hyaline droplets in males treated with 1000 mg/kg/day and minimal to slight vacuolar degeneration of tubular epithelium in females of the same dose group. The deposits of red pigment were considered to be not adverse itself, but the secondary reactions consisting of increased severity of hyaline droplets and vacuolar degeneration of tubular epithelium were deemed to be adverse. Based on the results of this study, a no-observed-effect-level (NOEL) of FAT 40850/A could not be established. The no-observed-adverse-effect-level (NOAEL) was established at 300 mg/kg/day.
