Executive summary:

Genetic toxicity study in vitro was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential. For this purpose AMES assay was performed in Salmonella typhimurium Strain TA100 by usingPreincubation Method. The test substance was exposed at the concentration of20 µg/plate in the absence of S9 mix. Mutagenic effects were observed. The AMES test must be performed with and without S9 mix. For a substance to be a mutagen, AMES test should be positive with and without S9 mix. But as in this study the test was performed only in the absence of S9. The test result was considered to be inconclusive as no data available in the presence of S9. Hence further testing should be performed as data is insufficient to classify the substance.

Conclusions:

4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol (51-67-2)was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the 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.

Executive summary:

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 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol (51-67-2). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 without S9 metabolic activation system. 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the 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.

Additional information

Genetic toxicity In-vitro

 Experimental studies and prediction were reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of target substance Tyramine, 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol ( 51-67-2). The studies are as mentioned below:

Genetic toxicity study in vitro was assessed for target substance. It is performed by M. Higashimotoet al. Food and Chemical Toxicology ,2000) for its possible mutagenic potential .For this purpose AMES assay was performed in Salmonella typhimurium Strain TA100 by using Preincubation Method. The test substance was exposed at the concentration of20 µg/plate in the absence of S9 mix. Mutagenic effects were observed. The AMES test must be performed with and without S9 mix. For a substance to be a mutagen, AMES test should be positive with and without S9 mix. But as in this study the test was performed only in the absence of S9. The test result was considered to be inconclusive as no data available in the presence of S9. Hence further testing should be performed as data is insufficient to classify the substance.

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 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol (51-67-2). 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. 4-(2-aminoethyl) phenol 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 predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

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 for test substance. The study conducted by SUSTAINABILITY SUPPORT SERVICES in2015. In a gene toxicity test, Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to Phenethyl phenylacetate in the concentration of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 or 5.0 mM . The test substance was exposed with and without metabolic activation for 3 hours. The results showed that there was no evidence of cytotoxicity after treatment. Independently of tested Phenethyl phenylacetate concentration, the results showed no evidence of gene toxicity. Therefore, it is considered that Phenethyl phenylacetate in the concentration of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 2.5 or 5.0 mM does not cause genetic mutation(s) when CHO cells are exposed to the test chemical in the absence of metabolic activation. Hence the substance cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

 

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 for target substance.  The study was conducted by National Institute of Technology and Evaluation in 2018. Genetic toxicity in vitro study was assessed for p-Diethylbenzene (105-05-5). For this purpose AMES test was performed according to Guidelines for Screening Mutagenicity Testing of Chemicals (Japan).The test material was exposed to Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537, Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation S9. The concentration of test material used in the presence and absence of metabolic activation were0, 2.441, 4.882, 9.765, 19.53, 39.06, 78.12 µg/plate. No mutagenic effects were observed in all strains, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Therefore p-Diethylbenzene was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537, Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA by AMES test. Hence the substance 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 Tyramine, 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol ( 51-67-2) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Genetic toxicity In-vivo

Experimental studies were reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of target substance Tyramine, 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol ( 51-67-2). The studies are as mentioned below:

Genetic toxicity study in vivo was assessed for target substance. It is performed by Kimiko Fujie al. Mutation Research, 1990) for its possible mutagenic potential. Genetic toxicity study in vivo was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential. For this purpose micronucleus test was performed in ICR (Crj : CD-1) male and female mice bone marrow cells. The test substance was exposed at the concentration of 0.5,1,1.5and 2.0mmole to each dose group consisted of 5 mice (male : female = 3 : 2 or 2 : 3). The animals were killed 24 h after an intraperitoneal injection, the bone marrows extracted, and smear preparations made and stained. Micronucleus specimens were prepared by the method of Schmid (1975). Slides were coded and analyzed. polychromatic erythrocytes and micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes were observed. Micronuclei were significantly induced but no severe reduction in the ratio of PCEs/NCEs was observed. The test result was considered to be inconclusive as the result is Ambiguous. Hence further testing should be performed as data is insufficient to classify the substance.

Genetic toxicity study in vivo was assessed for target substance. It is performed by Kimiko Fujie al. Mutation Research, 1990) for its possible mutagenic potential. Genetic toxicity study in vivo was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential. For this purpose chromosome aberration test was performed in Female Long-Evans rats by an intraperitoneal route. The test substance was exposed at the concentration1-5 mmole/kg (137-686 mg/kg) body weight for 18 hour. Each group consisted of 5 rats. Chromosome specimens were prepared from the femur bone marrow by the conventional method stained in 2% Giemsa solution (pH 6.8) for 15 rain, and analyzed microscopically under blind code. The incidence of aberrant cells for Tyramine reached maximum levels at 6 h and 12 h, respectively, and decreased to near the control level at 18 h and 24 hour. The test result was considered to be inconclusive as the result is Ambiguous. Hence further testing should be performed as data is insufficient to classify the substance.

Based on the data available for the target chemical Tyramine, 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol ( 51-67-2) considered to be i Hence further testing should be performed as data is insufficient to classify the substance.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Thus based on the above annotation and CLP criteria for the target chemical Tyramine, 4-(2-aminoethyl)phenol ( 51-67-2) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro while

inconclusive for vivo study . Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.Hence further testing should be performed as data is insufficient to classify the substance in vivo
