Substance Class Overview
Tris 2 -propylheptyl phosphite (T2PHP) is one of several structurally related tris alkyl phosphites. Alkyl phosphites are characterized by a phosphorus atom connected to three alkyl ester groups (oxygen connected to an alkyl chain). The closest alkyl phosphite structural analogue to T2PHP is triisodecyl phosphite (TDP). Like T2PHP, the alkyl groups on TDP are branched C10 isomers. Another close analogue is Triisotridecyl phosphite (TiTDP); the alkyl group on TiTDP are branched C13 isomers. Here are the key studies for these chemicals:
Relationship Between Alkyl Phosphites and Alkyl Alcohols
These alkyl phosphites are manufactured using a class of alkyl alcohols that have been well studied and previously accepted as a category (Long Chain Alcohols Category under the OECD SIDS program; Alkyl Alcohols C6 to C13 Category under the U. S. High Production Volume (HPV) program). The category assessment and associated use of read-across data for these alkyl alcohols is particularly relevant for the alkyl phosphites because these phosphites readily hydrolyse into the associated alcohol used in the manufacture of the phosphite – TDP to isodecanol (C10), T2PHP to 2 -propylheptanol (C10), and TiTDP to isotridecyl alcohol. Data on these alkyl alcohols provides additional information for the assessment of alkyl phosphites and also supports the concept of the alkyl phosphites being close analogues.
Acute DNELs
There were no signs of acute toxicity by either the oral, inhalation or dermal routes for TDP, nor acute oral toxicity observed for TiTDP. As such, it has been concluded that T2PHP is not acutely toxic and therefore it is not necessary or appropriate to establish acute DNELs.
Dermal Local DNELs
TDP test positive in an LLNA skin sensitisation study. The EC3 concentration was 20%. These results are being read across to T2PHP. The DNEL has derived as follows:
DNEL = EC3[%] * 250 [µg/cm²/%] / AF = 20% * 250 µg/cm²/% / 30 = 166.7 µg/cm²
Long-Term Systemic DNELs
There are several points of departure to consider for the long-term systemic DNELs for T2PHP. In the OECD 422 study on T2PHP there was a LOEL of 150 mg/kg/day for systemic toxicity (the effects observed could not be determined definitively to be adaptive or adverse) and a NOAEL of 450 mg/kg/day for reproductive and developmental toxicity and neurotoxicity. For TDP, the NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg/day (top dose) for repeat-dose, reproductive and developmental toxicity and neurotoxicity. For TiTDP, the subchronic NOAEL is 375 mg/kg/day and the developmental toxicity NOAEL is 1000 mg/kg/day.
The most conservative DNELs were derived using the LOEL of 150 mg/kg/day from the T2PHP OECD 422 study. It should be noted that while this is not a LOAEL value, it was treated as such in the DNEL calculations. This approach to deriving these DNELs should in no way be construed as considering the effects from this study to be adverse.
The inhalation and dermal DNELs were extrapolated from the oral study using standard route-to-route extrapolations and assuming 50% oral and inhalation absorption and 10% dermal absorption.
