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 2-amino-3,5-dimethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid (88-22-2). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. 2-amino-3, 5-dimethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant 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.

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 2-amino-3,5-dimethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid (88-22-2). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. 2-amino-3, 5-dimethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant 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.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by H. E. Seifried et al. (Chem. Res. Toxicol, 2006) to determine the mutagenic nature of2-amino-5-methylbenzene sulfonic acid (88-44-8; 2). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. 2-amino-5-methylbenzolsulfonsäure (88-44-8) was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential .For this purpose Ames test was performed on Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 98, TA 100, TA1535, TA 1537and TA 1538. The test material was exposed at the concentration of 0, 33-1000 µg/plate in the absence of S9. While in the presence of S( the test material concentration was 0,667-10000 µg/plate. No mutagenic effects were observed in all strailin the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Therefore 2-amino-5-methylbenzolsulfonsäure was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain  TA 98,TA 100,TA1535,TA 1537and TA 1538 by AMES test. Hence the test chemical cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

 

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by H. E. Seifried et al. (Chem. Res. Toxicol, 2006) to determine the mutagenic nature of 4-amino-3-methylbenzenesulfonic acid (98-33-9 ).The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. Ames mutagenicity test was conducted for chemical 4-amino-m-toluenesulfonic acid to evaluate the mutagenic effects.

2-amino-5-methylbenzolsulfonsäure(88-44-8) was assessd for its possible mutagenic potential .For this purpose AMES test was performed on Salmonella typhimurium strain  TA 98,TA 100,TA1535,TA 1537and TA 1538 . The test material was exposed at the concentration of 0,10-10000µg/plate in the presence and absence of S9. . No mutagenic effect were observed in all strailin the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Therefore 2-amino-5-methylbenzolsulfonsäure was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strain  TA 98,TA 100,TA1535,TA 1537and TA 1538 by AMES test. Hence the test chemical cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across substance and applying weight of evidence 2-amino-3, 5-dimethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid (88-22-2) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Thus based on the aboove annotation for the target chemical . 2-amino-3, 5-dimethylbenzene-1-sulfonic acid (88-22-2) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
