Executive summary:

The study was performed to assess the acute oral toxicity of the test item in the Wistar strain rat. The method was designed to be compatible with OECD Guideline 420 “Acute Oral Toxicity - Fixed Dose Method” and EU Method B1 bis Acute Toxicity (Oral).

Following a sighting test at dose levels of 6061 mg/kg and 910 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000 and 300 mg active ingredient/kg bw, respectively), a further group of four fasted females was given a single oral dose of test item at a dose level of 910 mg/kg bw (equivalent to 300 mg active ingredient/kg bw). Clinical signs and bodyweight development were monitored during the study. All animals were subjected to gross necropsy. The animal treated at a dose level of 6061 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw) was found dead one day after dosing. There were no deaths at a dose level of 910 mg/kg (equivalent to 300 mg active ingredient/kg bw). The clinical observations noted were exophthalmos and hunched posture (at a dose of 6061 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw)). Signs of systemic toxicity noted in the initial animal treated at a dose level of 910 mg/kg (equivalent to 300 mg active ingredient/kg bw) were hunched posture, noisy respiration and pilo-erection. No signs of systemic toxicity were noted in the additional four animals treated at a dose level of 910 mg/kg (equivalent to 300 mg active ingredient/kg bw). Surviving animals showed expected gains in bodyweight. Abnormalities were noted at necropsy of the animal treated at a dose level of 6061 mg/kg (equivalent to 2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw), that died during the study. No abnormalities were noted at necropsy of animals that were killed at the end of the study. The acute oral median lethal dose (LD50) of the test item in rat was estimated to be in the range 910-6061 mg/kg bw (equivalent to 300-2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw).

The analogue CAS No. 68155-09-9 which shares the same functional groups with the substance Amides, C12-C14 (even numbered), N-[3-(dimethylamino) propyl], N´-oxides, also has comparable values for the relevant molecular properties.

 

Cocamidopropylamine Oxide (CAS 68155-09-9) where R=C8-C18, is a tertiary amine oxide where RCO- represents the fatty acids from coconut oil. Coconut oil contains predominantly medium chain triglycerides with roughly 92% saturated fatty acids, 6% monounsaturated fatty acids, and 2% polyunsaturated fatty acids. Of the saturated fatty acids, coconut oil is primarily 44.6% lauric acid, 16.8% myristic acid, 8.2% palmitic acid, 8% caprylic acid, and other seven different saturated fatty acids in small amount. Its only monounsaturated fatty acid is oleic acid while its only polyunsaturated fatty acid is linoleic acid.

 

Therefore, the source chemical and the target chemical share the following functional groups:

a.- N-Oxide functionality

b.- Amide group

 

For the source substance, in the chemical structure, the R is substituted by C8-C18 and for the target substance the R is substituted by C12-C14.

 

Based on company experimental data (reported under the endpoint record Acute toxicity: dermal_47) on the analogue CAS No. 68155-09-9, the read-across approach is applied and the dermal LD50 for the substance Amides, C12-14 (even numbered), N-[3-(dimethylamino)propyl], N'-oxides is greater than 2000 mg/kg bw.

Skin irritation

Experimental data:

Key study:

The substance is classified as irritating according to Directive 67/548/EEC. However, based on the scores, the substance is not classified according to CLP Regulation.

 

Since the tested substance had a purity/concentration of 79% and since no data is available on the pure substance, taking into account the worst case, the proposal is to classify the substance as a Skin Irritant according to CLP Regulation.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – oral endpoint
The study with the lowest LD50 was chosen. Key study (reliability: 1).

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – inhalation endpoint
Data waiving (other justification): In accordance with column 2 of REACH Annex VIII, the study does not need to be conducted since the substance is manufactured and commercialised as a water solution and the vapour pressure of the substance is low.

Justification for selection of acute toxicity – dermal endpoint
Only one study available.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Acute oral toxicity:

Based on the available data, the LD50 is 300 -2000 mg active ingredient/kg bw. These findings support the classification as Acute Oral Toxicity - Category 4. The supporting study on the analogue also supports this classification.

Acute dermal toxicity:

Based on the available data, the LD50 is greater than 2000 mg/kg. Therefore, the substance is not classified.

 

Acute inhalation toxicity:

No data available. The study does not need to be conducted since the substance is manufactured and commercialised as a water solution and the vapour pressure of the substance is low.
