Additional information
Justification for read-across
No data on the skin and eye irritation of Dodecanoic acid, ester with 1,2,3-propanetriol (CAS 37318-95-9) are available. The assessment was therefore based on studies conducted with analogue (source) substances as part of a read across approach, which is in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).
Skin irritation in animals
CAS 91845-19-1
A skin irritation study was conducted with Glycerides, C16-18 and C18-hydroxy mono- and di- according to EU method B.4 and in compliance with GLP (WoE, 1985). The undiluted test substance (0.5 g) was applied for 4 h to the shaved skin of 5 New Zealand White rabbits under occlusive conditions. The untreated site of the animals served as control. The scoring of skin reactions (erythema and edema) was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 h as well as 6 days after removal of the dressing. At the 24 and 48 h reading time points, 1/5 animals showed a slight erythema (score 1), which was fully reversible within 48 and 72 h, respectively. In 1/5 animals, well-defined erythema (score 2) was observed at the 24-h reading time point, which decreased to slight erythema (score 1) at the 48-h reading time point and was fully reversible within the 6-day observation period. No edema formation was observed in the animals at any reading time point during the study period. No signs of systemic toxicity and no effects on body weights were observed in the animals. The mean erythema scores over the 24, 48 and 72 h reading time points were 0.33, 0, 0.33, 1.33 and 0 for the 5 animals, respectively. Edema scores were 0 for all reading time points in all animals. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be non-irritating to the skin.
CAS 538-24-9
The skin irritation potential of Glycerol trilaurate was investigated in a study performed according to OECD guideline 404 (WoE, 1998). The test substance was applied to the skin of 3 New Zealand White rabbits and the scoring of skin reactions (erythema and edema) was performed 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after removal of the dressing. Very slight erythema (score 1) was observed in all 3 animals 1 h after patch removal, which were fully reversible at the 24-h reading time point. No further skin reactions were noted in any animal at any other reading time point. No further local or systemic effects were reported. The mean erythema and edema scores after over the 24, 48 and 72 h reading time points were 0 for the 3 animals, respectively. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be non-irritating to the skin.
CAS 73398-61-5
The skin irritation potential of Triglycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl was investigated in a study according to OECD guideline 404 (WoE, 1988). The undiluted test substance (0.5 mL) was applied for 4 h to the shaved skin of 6 New Zealand White rabbits under semiocclusive conditions. The untreated site of the animals served as control. The scoring of skin reactions (erythema and edema) was performed 24, 48 and 72 h after removal of the dressing. The test item did not elicit any skin reactions at the application site of any animal at any of the observation time points. No signs of systemic toxicity were seen. The mean erythema and edema scores over the 24-, 48- and 72-h reading time points were 0 for all 6 animals. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be non-irritating to the skin.
Skin irritation in human
CAS 620-67-7
A human patch test was performed in 15 male and 35 female volunteers to assess the skin irritating potential of Propane-1,2,3-triyl trisheptanoate in humans (WoE, 2003). The undiluted test substance was applied once at 2 mg test substance/cm² to healthy skin on the back area of the test subjects using a commercial test patch for 48 h. After patch removal, skin reactions were evaluated immediately (48 h post-application) and 24 h later (72 h post-application). No primary skin irritation was observed 48 or 72 h after test substance application. Furthermore, no skin reactions were induced in this test. Based on these results, the test substance was not considered to be a skin irritant in humans.
Eye irritation
CAS 142-18-7
An eye irritation study was conducted with 2,3-dihydroxypropyl laurate according to the national FDA guideline "Appraisal of the safety of chemicals in foods, drugs and cosmetics" (WoE, 1977). The solid test material (0.1 g) was placed into the conjunctival sac of the left eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits each. The other eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were examined and scored 1, 24, 48 and 72 h as well as 4, 5, 6 and 7 days after application. At the 1, 2 and 8 h reading time points, no corneal opacity and iritis were observed. At this time points, slight to moderate conjunctival redness and moderate to strong chemosis and discharge were seen in all animals. 24 h post-application, corneal opacity was observed in 2/6 animals which was fully reversible within 72 h and 96 h, respectively. Slight to moderate conjunctival redness was observed in all animals 24 h post-application. These effects were fully reversible within 48 h (1/6 animals), 72 h (1/6 animals) or 5 days (4/6 animals). Slight to strong discharge was observed in all animals 24 h post-application. These effects were fully reversible within 72 h (5/6 animals) or 4 days (1/6 animals). Test substance application into the rabbit eye induced no iridial effects at any observation time point; scores were all 0. Over 24, 48 and 72 h the mean cornea scores were 0, 0, 0, 0, 1 and 0.7, chemosis scores were 1, 1, 1, 0.3, 1 and 1.7 and conjunctivae scores were 1.7, 1.3, 1, 0.3, 2 and 1.7 for the 6 animals respectively. No further local or systemic toxic effects were observed. Therefore, the test substance was not considered as eye irritant.
CAS 538-24-9
An eye irritation study was performed with Glycerol trilaurate according to OECD guideline 405 and in compliance with GLP (WoE, 1998). The test substance was instilled into the eyes of 3 New Zealand White rabbits each. The eyes were examined and scored 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after application. No corneal opacity, iritis or chemosis were observed at any reading time point in any animal. Very slight discharge was observed in 2 animals at the 1-h reading time point. Moderate conjunctival redness (score 3) was observed in all 3 animals at the 1-h reading time point, decreasing to slight (score 2) in 2/3 animals at 24 h after installation and to very slight (score 1) in 3/3 animals at 48 h after installation. No effects were observed at the 72-h reading time point. The mean scores for conjunctivae after 24, 48, and 72 h were 1.3, 1 and 1. The mean scores for cornea, iris and chemosis over 24, 48, and 72 h were 0 for all 3 animals. Therefore, the test substance was not considered as eye irritant.
CAS 73398-61-5
An eye irritation study was performed with Triglycerides, mixed decanoyl and octanoyl according to EPA OPP guideline 81-4 and in compliance with GLP (WoE, 1988). The undiluted test substance (0.1 mL) was instilled into the conjunctival sac of one eye of 6 New Zealand White rabbits each. The other eye remained untreated and served as control. The eyes were examined and scored 1, 24, 48 and 72 h after application. At the 1 h reading, iridial inflammation (score 1) was observed in 1/6 animals. 24, 48 and 72 h no iridial effects were observed in any animal. Mild to moderate (score 1-2) conjunctivae effects were apparent in all animals at 1 h reading. In 1/6 animals, mild conjunctivae redness (score 1) and chemosis was still apparent after 24 h, but was fully reversible at the 48 h reading. In the remaining 5/6 animals, conjunctivae irritation was fully reversible within 24 h. No adverse corneal effects were noted in any animal at any observation time point. No further local or systemic toxic effects were observed. After 24, 48, and 72 h the mean scores for chemosis and conjunctivae were 0.33, 0, 0, 0, 0 and 0 for all 6 animals, respectively. The mean scores for cornea and iris over 24, 48, and 72 h were 0 for all 6 animals. Therefore, the test substance was not considered as eye irritant.
Overall conclusion for skin and eye irritation
The available data on source substances did not show any skin or eye irritation effects. Therefore, the target substance Dodecanoic acid, ester with 1,2,3-propanetriolis not expected to be a skin irritant or an eye irritant.
Justification for classification or non-classification
According to Article 13 of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 "General Requirements for Generation of Information on Intrinsic Properties of substances", information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests e.g. from information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across), provided that conditions set out in Annex XI are met. Annex XI, "General rules for adaptation of this standard testing regime set out in Annexes VII to X” states that “substances whose physicochemical, toxicological and ecotoxicological properties are likely to be similar or follow a regular pattern as a result of structural similarity may be considered as a group, or ‘category’ of substances. This avoids the need to test every substance for every endpoint". Since the analogue concept is applied to Dodecanoic acid, ester with 1,2,3-propanetriol (CAS 37318-95-9), data will be generated from data for reference source substance(s) to avoid unnecessary animal testing. Additionally, once the analogue read-across concept is applied, substances will be classified and labelled on this basis.
Therefore, based on an analogue read-across approach, the available data on skin and eye irritation do not meet the classification criteria according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
