Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on read across approach, the L-Carnitineanide D-Camphorated is not expected to be carcinogen.

According to the Regulation EC1272/2008 (CLP)L-Carnitineamide D-Camphoratedis classified for Acute oral Toxicity, Category 4, H302, as Harmful if swallowed.

Additional information

There are no experimental and/or literature specific data on L-CARNITINEAMIDE D-CAMPHORATED.

The analysis was carried out by calculation tools, but results werenot exhaustive, since it is a salt, public programs are outside the application field and can not be used.Therefore it has been evaluatedthe comparisonwith the base(Camphor; CAS: 76 -22 -2; EC:200 -945 -0)and the counter-ion(Levocarnitine; CAS: 541 -15 -1; EC: 208 -768 -0)of the substance,because themetabolism pathway of the substance is dissociate to its base and counter-ion, Camphor and Levocarnitine, and Camphor undergos to further transformation to Camphoric acid by ossidative metabolism.

ACGIH classified Camphor as A4: Not classifiable as a human carcinogen [*-3].

No long-term animal studies have been performed to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of Levocarnitine [*-25].

In conclusion based on read across approach, theL-Carnitineanide D-Camphorated is not expected to be carcinogen.

Any details about data available are reported in the report attached at the point 13: Assessment Report.
