Description (incidence and severity):
Histopathology: The incidence of extramedullary hematopoesis of the spleen (5 male and 9 females: 14%) in the test group was consistent with that found in the distilled water vehicle control groups. The incidence in the three distilled water control groups was 13 % , 18 % , and 22 % for a mean of 17.7 % . The test group did not show a greater incidence than a control group.The incidence of ectoparasitism was greater in the dye treated group than found in the vehicle controls. This increase in skin mite infestation may have contributed to the increase in epidermal change dermatitis, acanthosis, and hyperkeratosis observed in the dye treated groups.Although the number of neoplasias involving the mammary glands or internal organs was noted in the test group, there was, however, no apparent change in their pattern which could be attributed to the dermal application of the test dye compound.The incidence and severity of lesions of interstitial nephritis, cystitis, amyloidosis, and bronchopneumonia though observed in the test groups but there were no significant variations that could be attributed to application of the test compound.

Additional information

Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route;

Experimental studies was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of target substance calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and Litholrubine BK upon repeated exposure by oral route. The studies are mentioned below:

 Repeated dose oral experimental study was performed by K. H. Leist (Ecotoxicology And Environmental Safety,1982) to determine the toxic nature of calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and Litholrubine BK by using rodent animals. Subacute study of test chemical was assessed for its possible toxic potential. For this purpose test chemical was administrated by oral gavage to 20(10 for recovery group) male and female rats by using test concentration of0 and1000 mg/kg/day. The animals were observed for clinical sign, mortality, food consumption, body weight, haematology, clinical chemistry, urine analysis, gross pathology and histopathology. No mortality was observed at treated group 1000 mg/kg/day. Significant effect was observed for body weight and histopatholgy at the dose level of 1000mg/kg bw/day in treated group compare to control. But reversible effect were observed in recovery animals. No significant effect were observed at this dose. Therefore NOAEL was considered to be < 1000mg/kg bw/day for test chemical in male and female rat by oral gavage for subacute study.

Supported by other experimental study, which was observed by National Institute of Technology and Evaluation(jcheck,2018) to determine the toxic nature of calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and Litholrubine BK by using rodent animals. Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Toxicity Screening Test of test chemical was assessed for its possible toxiv potential.For this purpose Sub chronic study was performed according to OECD guideline 422. The test chemical was administrated by oral gavage to 13 male and female Crj: CD(SD)rats by using test concentration of0,100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day. The animals were observed forclinical sign, mortality, food consumption, body weight, haematology, clinical chemistry, gross pathology and histopathology. No mortality was observed at all treated group,100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg/day. Statistically significant effect was observed at the300 and 1000 mg/kg bw/day group animals in heamotology, clinical chemistry and organ weight. Degeneration or necrosis of renal tubular epithelial cells of the cortex was observed in 3 out of 5 males in the 1000 mg / kg administration group. In these examples, the cavity of the degenerated tubule was dilated, and in one case of the medulla showing the strongest change, eosin light stain which seems cytopathic substance was contained in the cavity of some collecting tubes It was. In one other case, renal tubular epithelium degeneration was not observed, but extremely slight expansion of renal tubular cavity was observed. In females of the test substance-administered group, only mild degeneration of renal tubular epithelium was observed in one case. In addition, only a few regenerated renal tubules were found in the sexes of the control group and the test substance administered group. No statically significant effct were observed at 100 mg/kg/day group. Therefore NOEL was considered to be100 mg/kg/day for males and less than 100 mg/kg/day for females for test chemical.

Supported by another experimental study, which was observed by European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) (EFSA Journal,2010) to determine the toxic nature of calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and Litholrubine BK by using non rodent animals. Sub chronic study of test chemical was assessed for its possible toxic potential. For this purpose The test chemical was administrated to 1 male and 1 female dog by oral feed at the concentration of125, 250, 375 and 500 mg/kg bw/day. The test chemical was feeded as fallow to the test animal

 

0.5% (weeks 1 and 2), 125mg/kg bw/day

1.0% (weeks 2 and 3), 250mg/kg bw/day

1.5% (weeks 5-10) 375mg/kg bw/day

2% (weeks 11-13)500mg/kg bw/day

The animals were observed for clinical sign. Significant effect as diarrhoea was observed a few days before the dose was increased to 375mg/kg bw/day treated group compare to control. Significant effect as vomiting was observed a few days before the dose was increased to 500mg/kg bw/day treated group compare to control. No significant effects were observed at the dose level of125 and 250 mg/kg bw/day treated group compare to control. Therefore NOAEL was considered to be 250mg/kg bw/day for test chemical in male and female dogs by oral feed for subchronic study.

Based on the data available for the target chemical calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and Litholrubine BK , D & C Red no. 7 does not exhibit toxic nature upon repeated exposure by oral route of exposure and hence is not likely to classify as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

 

 

Repeated inhalation study:

According to Annex IX of the REACH regulation, testing by the inhalation route is appropriate only if exposure of humans via inhalation is likely. Taking into account the low vapour pressure of the substance calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and Litholrubine BK . Also considering the particle size distribution of the substance the majority of the particles was found to be in the size of 150 micron to 53 micron which is much larger size range compared to the inhalable particulate matter Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver.

 

Repeated dermal study

Experimental study was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of target substance calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and D & C Red no. 7 upon repeated exposure by dermal route. The studies are mentioned below:

 Repeated dose dermal experimental study was performed by Steven Carson (J. Toxicol. Cut. & Ocular Toxicol., 1984) to determine the toxic nature of calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and Litholrubine BK by using rodent animals. Repeated dose toxicity by the dermal route was performed to determine the dermal toxic nature of the test compoundD & C Red no. 7upon repeated application. The test chemical was applied to the clipped dorsal area mice. The animals were observed for mortality, clinical signs and gross pathology and histopathology was performed. Repeated dermal application of 0.1 ml containing 1 mg of dye applied to the dorsal area of ICR (Swiss Webster derived) white mice twice weekly for 18 months failed to produce any adverse effects and hence the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test compound D & C Red no. 7 is found to be130.6 mg/kg bw/day in ICR male and female mouse by 18 months of repeated dermal application.

Based on the data available for the target chemical calcium 3-hydroxy-4-[(4-methyl-2-sulfonatophenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthoate (5281-04-9 ) , Common name; Pigment Red 57:1 and Litholrubine BK , D & C Red no. 7 does not exhibit toxic nature upon repeated exposure by dermal route of exposure and hence is not likely to classify as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
