Description of key information

Skin irritation:

The dermal irritation potential of 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor. The substance 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) was estimated to be irritating to the skin of Vienna White rabbits. Based on the estimated result 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) can be considered as irritating to skin and can be classified under the category ˋCategory 2 (irritant)’ as per CLP regulation.

 

Eye irritation:

The ocular irritation potential of 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with logPow as the primary descriptor. The substance 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) was estimated to be irritating to the eye of New Zealand White rabbits. Based on the estimated result 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) can be considered as irritating to eye and can be classified under the category ˋCategory 2 (irritant)’ as per CLP regulation.

Additional information

Skin irritation:

Various studieshas been investigated for the test chemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9)to observe the potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits and humans for target chemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) and its structurally similar read across substances1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6)and1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6). The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;

 

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the skin irritation potential was estimated for test chemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) .The chemical 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) is estimated to be irritating to skin of Vienna White rabbits.

 

TheTAKEHITO KGZUKA, MINORU TASHIR0, SHIGEHARU SANO, KEIICHI FUJIMOTO, YUMI NAKAMURA, SEIICHI HASHIMOTO AND GEN NAKAMINAM (1980)carried out skin irritation studyin human patients suffering from pigmented contact dermatitis caused by the commercial Brilliant Lake Red R forstructurally similar read across substance1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6)to assess its irritation efficacy. The patch of 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol was applied onto the back of each patient for 24 hours by usingFinn Chambers® on Scanpor® (Epitest, Ltd. Oy). After removal of patch, skin reactions were assessedaccording to the ICDRG classification for 2 days.Twenty-eight healthy female volunteers, aged 20 and 21, were also tested with the sample as controls. None gave a positive reaction.Since thepositive reactions were seen in 2 out of total 8 cases,the chemical1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6)was considered to be irritatingin human patients suffering from pigmented contact dermatitis caused by the commercial Brilliant Lake Red R.

 

 

The above results were further supported by experimental studies conducted bytheCommission of the European Communities(1988) forstructurally similar read across substance1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6) on rabbits. The 1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol was applied dermally on to the skin of each rabbits at concentration of 500 mg in 0.5 mL 1,2-propanediol. The treated rabbits produced slight skin reaction with irritation index of 2.3. Hence the chemical 1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6) was considered to be irritating to the skin of rabbits.

 

Based on the available data for the targetchemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) and its structurally similar read across substances1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6)and1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6),it can be concluded thatchemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) is able to cause skin irritation and considered as irritating.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2(irritant)”.

 

Eye irritation

In different studies,the test chemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) has been investigated for potential for ocular irritationto observe the potential for ocular irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits for target chemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) and its structurally similar read across substances1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6)and1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6).The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;

 

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the eye irritation potential was estimated for test chemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) .The chemical 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) is estimated to be irritating to eye of New Zealand White rabbits.

 

The above result was further supported by experimental studies conducted byCommission of the European Communities(1988)forstructurally similar read across substances1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6) and 1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6)in rabbits as follows;

 

When pure1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol was administrated into the eye of rabbits, slight ocular effects were observed. Hence the chemical 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6) was considered to be irritating to the rabbits’ eye.

 

In an eye irritation test for1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6), 100 mg of1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol was made into a paste with 8 drops of 1,2-propanediol and instilled into the rabbits eyes The rabbits were observed (duration not specified) for ocular reactions to1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol. Since no known ocular lesions were observed, the chemical1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6), was considered as slightly irritating to the mucous membranes.

 

Thus based on the available data for the targetchemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) and its structurally similar read across substances1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (CAS No: 3118-97-6)and1-(2-methyl-4-(2-methylphenylazo)phenylazo)-2-naphthol (CAS No: 85-83-6),it can be concluded thatchemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) is able to cause eye irritation and considered as irritating.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2(irritant)”.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The skin and eye irritation potential of test chemical4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9) and its structurally similar read across substanceswere observed in various studies. The results obtained from these studies indicates that the test chemical 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzeneis likely to cause skin and eye irritation. Hence 4-(Diethylamino)azobenzene (CAS No: 2481-94-9)can be classified under the category “Category 2(irritant)” for skin and eye as per CLP.
