Repeated dose toxicity: oral
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- short-term repeated dose toxicity: oral
- Type of information:
- read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
- Adequacy of study:
- supporting study
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- guideline study with acceptable restrictions
- Remarks:
- Study conducted to OECD guidelines to to GLP, and therefore meets the requirements for Klimisch code 1. However as this study is used in the context of a read across, Klimisch 2 is assigned.
- Justification for type of information:
- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE CATEGORY APPROACH
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE CATEGORY APPROACH
The read across follows Scenario 5 - Qualitatively and quantitatively similar effects are caused by a common compound, which is formed from all category members (as described in the 2017 Read-Across Assessment Framework document).
2. SOURCE AND TARGET CHEMICAL(S) (INCLUDING INFORMATION ON PURITY AND IMPURITIES)
TARGET: Benzenesulfonic acid, di-C10-14-alkyl derivs., sodium salts
SOURCE: Sodium 4-icosylbenzenesulfonate
3. CATEGORY APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
Linear and non-linear or branched alkylbenzene sulfonates are anionic surfactants with molecules characterized by a hydrophobic (apolar) and a hydrophilic (polar) group. As a group of chemicals, they are generally mixtures of closely related isomers and homologues. Each molecule contains an aromatic ring sulfonated at the para position and attached to either a linear or a branched alkyl chain at any position except the terminal carbons. The sulfonate group is a common functional group present in each of the category members, and is expected to exhibit similar biological activities with little influence from the length of carbon chain. The cation components of the chemicals (e.g. calcium, magnesium, sodium, or barium) are not expected to contribute significantly to the toxicity.

- CLINICAL SIGNS AND MORTALITY
One animal was sacrificed on Day 0 and one animal was found dead on Day 9, a result of probable misdosing.
Stained fur was observed in high dose animals, scabbed skin occurred in one control male and high dose female displayed sneezing and abnormal respiratory sounds.
BODY WEIGHT AND WEIGHT GAIN
No statistically significant differences were observed in mean bodyweights or body weight gains.
FOOD CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if feeding study)
A statistically significant increase in food consumption was observed in low dose males compared with controls.
FOOD EFFICIENCY
No statistically significant differences were observed in food efficiency.
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study)
Not recorded
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION
Not recorded
HAEMATOLOGY
Male mean cell haemoglobin concentrations were significantly decreased compared with the controls at all dose levels. However, these were not considered to be biologically significant, as there was no dose response trend. A statistically significant increase in partial thromboplastin time was observed in mid and top dose males compared with controls. Prothrombin time was significantly increased in the mid and high dose females during the treatment period, and was significantly reduced in males in the recovery group. This were within normal limits and therefore not considered to be biologically significant. A statistically significant increase in the reticulocyte count was observed in treated males in the recovery group, however, was not considered to be biologically significant.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
A statistically significant decrease in serum cholesterol was observed in high dose males and females and persisted in females into the recovery period. This was considered to be treatment related.
Statistically significant increases were observed in alanine aminotransferase, lactic dehydrogenase, aspartate aminotransferase, sodium, phosphorus and triglycerides, as well as decreases in albumin and chloride.There was no dose related trend with these changes, therefore they are not considered to be treatment related.
URINALYSIS
A statistically significant increase in specific gravity was observed in low dose males. Urine volume was significantly reduced in treated males in the recovery group. This was not considered to be biologically significant.
NEUROBEHAVIOUR
Not recorded
ORGAN WEIGHTS
No statistically significant differences were observed.
GROSS PATHOLOGY

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- A NOAEL of 500 mg/kg bw/day was identified in this study.
- Executive summary:
In a subchronic toxicity study calcium sulphonate was administered to 12 rats/sex in the control and top dose and 6 rats/sex in the low and mid dose via gavage at dose levels of 0, 100, 500 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
A decrease in serum cholesterol levels occurred in the top dose group. The LOAEL is 1000 mg/kg bw/day, based on a decrease in serum cholesterol at the top dose. The NOAEL is 500 mg/kg bw/day.
This subchronic toxicity study in the rat is acceptable and satisfies the guideline requirement for a subchronic oral study (OPPTS 870.3100; OECD 408) in rats.
