Dosing was continued in both sexes during the mating period. Males were dosed after the mating period at least until the minimum total dosing period of 28 days had been completed. Daily dosing of the parental females was continued throughout pregnancy and at least up to day 4 post-partum.
- Parental animals: Observations and examinations:
- - Mating: The day verified by sperm in a vaginal rinse was designated as day 0 of pregnancy. Based on the results, following indices were calculated. Mating index = (No. of animals with successful copulation / No. of mated animals) × 100 Fertility index = (No. of impregnating animals / No. of animals with successful copulation) × 100 Pregnancy index = (No. of pregnant animals / No. of animals with successful copulation) × 100
- Observation on gestation and parturition: Abortion, premature delivery and dystocia or prolonged parturition were observed.
- Observation on parturition date: Gestation length, delivery index, litter size, sex ratio, external anomalies of live pups were observed.

- - Gross findings: At scheduled termination, all live animals were anaesthetized by isoflurane inhalation, blood samples taken and then terminated by exsanguinating the abdominal aorta. Complete gross post mortem examinations were performed on all animals.
- Organ weights: Absolute organ weights were measured and their relative organ weights (organ-to-body weight ratios) were calculated from the terminal body weight for the following organs of selected six animals when they were sacrificed. (Brain, pituitary gland, adrenal gland,spleen, kidneys, heart, thymus, lungs and thyroid (with parathyroid)). However, the following organs were weighed in all animals except the non-pregnant.(liver, salivary gland, testis, epididymis, seminal vesicle, prostate, ovary, uterus).
- Histopathological examination: Histopathological examination was performed on the following tissues from animals in the vehicle control and 64 mg/kg bw/day groups. abnormal lesion, skin (included mammary gland in females), urinary bladder, pancreas, mesenteric lymph node, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, cecum, colon, rectum, kidneys, adrenal glands,mandibular lymph node, thyroid (included parathyroid), aorta, thymus, heart, lungs, tongue, trachea, esophagus, sciatic nerve, skeletal muscle, sternum, femur, eye with optic nerve, haderian gland, brain, pituitary gland, spinal cord (thoracic) and nasal cavity. Additional examination was conducted in spleen, femur and sternum of the 4 and 16 mg/kg bw/day groups, since treatment-related findings were observed in these organs. Neutral buffered 10% formalin was used for fixation and preservation, except testis, epididymides and eyeballs. Bouin’s fixative was used for testis and epididymides and Davidson’s solution for eye ball. Lungs and urinary bladder were inflated with fixative prior to immersion in fixative. And then organs were embedded in paraffin, sectioned, stained with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E), and examined microscopically. - Statistics:

- Method: LAS was applied to depilated areas on the chests and backs of female rats 12- 18 weeks of age. Five to six hours prior to treatment an exposure site (roughly 24 cm2) in the dorsothoracic region of each animal from group II through IX was clipped to a length of 1 mm. The animals were reclipped every 48 hr throughout the study. Group I animals were unclipped, group II animals were clipped but not treated and group III animals were clipped and treated with tap water. The mated female rats were treated daily from day 0 through day 20 of gestation. A 0.5-ml sample of the appropriate concentration of LAS and/or tap water was applied once daily to the clipped area and spread with a gloved finger over as much of the exposure site as
possible. Each application was carried out slowly over a 3-min period. In the 1, 5 and 20% LAS groups (groups VII, VIII and IX, respectively corresponding to 20, 100 and 400 mg/kg/day) the test material was allowed to remain on the backs of the animals for 30 min. after which it was removed with warm tap water. The test material was not removed from the backs of the animals in the 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5% LAS groups (groups IV, V and VI corresponding to 1, 2 and 10 mg/kg/day). Animal body weight and food consumption were determined during the treatment period. Daily observations were also made for toxicological effects. - GLP compliance:

The oral dose for the rat is converted to the corresponding air concentration using a standard breathing volume for the rat (1.15 m3/kg for 24 hours exposure. The resulting air concentration needs to be additionally corrected for 24 hlight activity (20 m3), assuming 100 % absorption for both routes.

Oral exposure
In reproductive toxicity study performed according to the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test [OECD TG 422] under GLP, test conditions and dose were same as repeated dose toxicity. The offspring delivered by chemical-treated rats had been observed until day 4 of postpartum. There were no statistically significant differences were seen in the following parameters: the number of live and dead pups, live pups/implantation ratio, dead pups/implantation ratio, pre-implantation loss, post-implantation loss, sex ratio, viability index, number of neonates with external anomalies, and body weights of pups on post-natal day 0 and day 4. There were no treatment-related changes in all parameters of offsprings during the parturition and lactation periods and the NOAEL for developmental toxicity was 400 mg/kg bw/day for F1 pubs.
NOAELrat = 400 mg/kg bw/day
Dermal exposure:
Dermal study was conducted on female rats (days 0 through 21 of gestation), with daily exposure at 1.0%, 5.0%, and 20% of LAS (20, 100, and 400 mg/kg bw/day).
Results:
Maternal toxicity:
The dams treated with 20% and 5% showed inhibition of body weight gain and local skin effects.
Teratogenicity:
There were no indications of teratogenic or embryotoxic effects at any level in either group tested.
NOAEL Maternal: 1% (20 mg/kg bw d)

The oral dose for the rat is converted to the corresponding air concentration using a standard breathing volume for the rat (1.15 m3/kg for 24 hours exposure. The resulting air concentration needs to be additionally corrected for 24 hlight activity (20 m3), assuming 100 % absorption for both routes.

Additional information
LAS (as a read across) was injected (subcutaneous) at doses of 20 mL/kg/day from day 0 to 3 or day 8 to 11 of pregnancy.
When dams were administered the 1% solution from day 0 to 3 of pregnancy, there was an initial decrease in body weight and necrosis at the injection sites. The number of pregnancies decreased in the mice given the 1% solution compared to the controls (61.5% vs. 93.3%) There were no significant changes with respect to litter parameters, major malformations or minor abnormalities.
NOAEL Maternal: 0.35% (20 mg/kg bw d)
NOAEL teratogenicity : 1% (200 mg/kg bw d)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the hazard assessment of Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid/ Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid in section 2.1 and 2.2. in IUCLID 6, available data for the substance and following the “Guidance on Information Requirement and Chemical Safety Assessment R.8. Characterisation of dose [concentration]- response for human health” and according to the criteria described in Directive 67/548 and in the CLP Regulation:
Directive 67/548 |
Toxicity to reproduction/development Repr. Cat. 1; R61 May cause harm to the unborn child. Repr. Cat. 2; R61 May cause harm to the unborn child. Repr. Cat. 3; R63 Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. Toxicity to reproduction/fertility Repr. Cat. 1; R60 May impair fertility. Repr. Cat. 2; R60 May impair fertility. Repr. Cat. 3; R62 Possible risk of impaired fertility
|
CLP |
Reproductive toxicity Repr. 1A Repr. 1B Repr. 2 H360: May damage fertility or the unborn child <state specific effect if known > <state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard>. H361: Suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child <state specific effect if known> <state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard>.

It is concluded that the substance Dodecylbenzenesulphonic acid/ Dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid does not meet the criteria to be classified for human health hazards for Reproductive toxicity
