Disulfo copper phthalocyanine amine salt

Endpoint summary

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for Disulfo copper phthalocyanine amine salt. The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system. Disulfo copper phthalocyanine amine salt failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not classify for gene mutation in vitro.

Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Disulfo copper phthalocyanine amine salt:

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for Disulfo copper phthalocyanine amine salt. The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system and strain TA1535 without S9 metabolic activation system. Disulfo copper phthalocyanine amine salt failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system and strain TA1535 without S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not classify for gene mutation in vitro.

Gene mutation study was conducted by Milvy et al (Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1978) to evaluate the mutagenic nature of structurally and functionally similar read across chemical Phthalocyanine blue (RA CAS no 147 -14 -8; IUPAC name: 29H,31H-phthalocyaninato(2-)-N29,N30,N31,N32 copper). The study was performed using the preincubation protocol using Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1538 and TA1535 both in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system.10 µg of the dye partially or completely dissolved in 0.01 ml of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was added to 0.9 ml of the reagents in the liquid phase and incubated 30 min at 37°C with shaking before plating 0.1 ml onto minimal plates. Consurrent solvent and positive controls were included in the study. Phthalocyanine blue failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1538 and TA1535 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is negative for gene mutation in vitro.

In the same study by Milvy et al (Journal of Toxicology and Environmental Health, 1978), Spot test was also conducted to evaluate the mutagenic nature of Phthalocyanine blue (RA CAS no 147 -14 -8; IUPAC name: 29H,31H-phthalocyaninato(2-)-N29,N30,N31,N32 copper). The study was performed using Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1538 and TA1535 both in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. Phthalocyanine blue failed to induce mutation in the Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1538 and TA1535 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is negative for gene mutation in vitro.

Based on the information observed for the test chemical and its various read across, it is summarized that Disulfo copper phthalocyanine amine salt

is not likely to exhibit genetic toxicity. Thus, the chemical is not classified as a genetic toxicant as per as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the weight of evidence data summarized, Disulfo copper phthalocyanine amine salt (CAS no 1328 -51 -4) is not likely to exhibit genetic toxicity. Thus, the chemical is not classified as a genetic toxicant.
