Skin sensitization 

In different studies, Sodium phenylacetate (114-70-5) has been investigated for potential of skin sensitization to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in guinea pig and human for target chemical Sodium phenylacetate (114-70-5) and its structurally similar read across substances phenylacetic acid (103-82-2)and Ethyl phenylacetate (101-97-3) the predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data of read across.

The skin sensitization potential of Sodium phenylacetate (114-70-5) was estimated by SSS (2017) using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the six closest read across substances of Sodium phenylacetate (114-70-5) was predicted to be not sensitizing to the skin of female Hartley guinea pig.

Prediction done using the Danish (Q) SAR Database, the skin sensitization was estimated to be negative on guinea pig and human for Sodium phenylacetate Using Battery algorithm model of Danish QSAR, Allergic Contact Dermatitis for Sodium phenylacetate (114-70-5) estimated to be not sensitizing when applied to human and guinea pig skin.

The experimental study conducted by D.L.J. Opdyke (Food and Cosmetics Toxicology Volume 13, Issue 6, 1975, Pages 901-902) to evaluate the skin sensitizing potential of phenylacetic acid (103-82-2) in human. Skin sensitization test was performed on 25 human volunteers by maximization test at 2% concentration in petrolatum. After observation no skin sensitization reaction noted. Hence phenylacetic acid (103-82-2) was considered to be non- sensitizing to humans.

Also it is further Supported by experimental study conducted by D.L.J. Opdyke(Food and Cosmetics Toxicology. Pg. 368, 1979) to evaluate the skin sensitizing potential of read across substance Ethyl phenylacetate (101-97-3) in human. In skin sensitization study, 25 volunteers were tested by maximization test at a concentration of 8% in petrolatum. No reaction was observed therefore, the Ethyl phenylacetate (101-97-3) was considered to be not sensitizing to humans.

Thus based on the above predictions on Sodium phenylacetate (114-70-5) as well as its read across and applying weight of evidence, it can be concluded that Sodium phenylacetate (114-70-5) is not a skin sensitizer. Thus comparing the above studies with the criteria of CLP regulation, Sodium phenylacetate (114-70-5) can be considered as not classified for skin sensitization.
