Description of key information
A number of studies are available to assess the genotoxic potential of tetrapotassium pyrophosphate and the analogous substances tetrasodium pyrophosphate and disodium dihydrogenpyrophosphate. Sodium and potassium pyrophosphates are considered to be non-genotoxic in all studies performed and therefore no further testing is required.
Link to relevant study records
- Endpoint:
- in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
- Type of information:
- experimental study
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Study period:
- no data
- Reliability:
- 3 (not reliable)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- significant methodological deficiencies
- Remarks:
- Although study design is comparable to OECD 471, the data does not meet important criteria of today’s standard methods. OECD 471 states that in order to detect cross-linking mutagens it may be preferable to include S. typhimurium strain TA 102 or a DNA-proficient strain of E.coli, neither of which are considered in the study and only 3 strains of S. typhimurium were tested. In addition a non-standard assay was conducted on a strain of S.cerivisiae.
- Justification for type of information:
- REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
See read-across justification report under Section 13 ‘Assessment Reports’.
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
In accordance with REACH Annex XI, Section 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) the standard testing regime may be adapted in cases where a grouping or read-across approach has been applied.
The similarities may be based on:
(1) a common functional group
(2) the common precursors and/or the likelihood of common breakdown products via physical or biological processes, which result in structurally similar chemicals; or
(3) a constant pattern in the changing of the potency of the properties across the category
(1) The source and target substances are both inorganic salts of a monovalent cation from Group 1A of the periodic table, sodium or potassium, and pyrophosphoric/phosphoric acid. Thus, they all share the Na+ or K+ cation and the P2O74-/PO34- anion as common functional groups.
(2) All members of the group will ultimately dissociate into the common breakdown products of the Na+ or K+ cations and the P2O74-/PO34- anion. In biological systems pyrophosphates will be metabolised by intestinal alkaline phosphatase and it is assumed that the majority of diphosphate is absorbed as orthophosphate and thus both the target and source substances contain the same breakdown products.
(3) Potassium and sodium cations and phosphate anions are essential micronutrients and as such, their uptake is tightly regulated and is therefore not considered to pose a risk for genotoxicity.
It is therefore deemed scientifically justified to avoid any further testing and use the data from a study conducted on an orthophosphate (with either a potassium or sodium cation) for hazard assessment purposes.

- The criteria used to determine positive effects are inherently subjective and are based on historical data. Most data sets were evaluated using the following criteria:
- STRAINS TA 1353, TA-1357 and TA 1358
If the solvent control value is within the normal range, a chemical that produces a positive dose response over 3 concentrations with the lowest increase equal to 2x the solvent control value is considered to be mutagenic (positive result).
- STRAINS TA 98, TA 100 AND D4:
If the solvent control value is within the normal range, a chemical that produces a positive response of 3 concentrations with the highest increase equal to 2x the solvent value (TA 100) and 2-3x the solvent control value (TA 98 and D4) is considered to be mutagenic (positive result). The dose-response increase should start at approximately the solvent control value. - Statistics:

1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
In accordance with REACH Annex XI, Section 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) the standard testing regime may be adapted in cases where a grouping or read-across approach has been applied.
The similarities may be based on:
(1) a common functional group
(2) the common precursors and/or the likelihood of common breakdown products via physical or biological processes, which result in structurally similar chemicals; or
(3) a constant pattern in the changing of the potency of the properties across the category
(1) The source and target substances are both inorganic salts of a monovalent cation from Group 1A of the periodic table, sodium or potassium, and pyrophosphoric/phosphoric acid. Thus, they all share the Na+ or K+ cation and the P2O74-/PO34- anion as common functional groups.
(2) All members of the group will ultimately dissociate into the common breakdown products of the Na+ or K+ cations and the P2O74-/PO34- anion. In biological systems pyrophosphates will be metabolised by intestinal alkaline phosphatase and it is assumed that the majority of diphosphate is absorbed as orthophosphate and thus both the target and source substances contain the same breakdown products.
(3) Potassium and sodium cations and phosphate anions are essential micronutrients and as such, their uptake is tightly regulated and is therefore not considered to pose a risk for genotoxicity.
It is therefore deemed scientifically justified to avoid any further testing and use the data from a study conducted on an orthophosphate (with either a potassium or sodium cation) for hazard assessment purposes.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
- Measurement of cytotoxicity used: CBPI or RI in the case of the cytokinesis-block method - Conclusions:
- Under the present test conditions, sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate tested up to a concentration of 2000 µg/mL medium in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation employing two exposure times (without S9) and one exposure time (with S9) revealed no indications of chromosomal damage in the in vitro micronucleus test.
- Executive summary:
Test samples of Sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate were assayed in an in vitro micronucleus test using human peripheral lymphocytes both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation by a rat liver post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix) from Aroclor 1254 induced animals.
The test was carried out employing 2 exposure times without S9 mix: 4 and 24 hours, and 1 exposure time with S9 mix: 4 hours. The harvesting time was 20 hours after the end of exposure. The cytokinesis-block technique was applied.
The test item was completely dissolved in highly purified water. The vehicle highly purified water served as the negative control.
The concentrations employed were chosen based on the results of a cytotoxicity study. In this preliminary experiment without and with metabolic activation concentrations of 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000 and 2000 μg Sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate/mL medium were employed. No signs of cytotoxicity were noted up to the top concentration of 2000 μg/mL medium.
Hence, 2000 μg/mL were employed as the top concentration for the genotoxicity tests without (4-hour or 24-hour exposure) and with metabolic activation (4-hour exposure).
No signs of cytotoxicity were noted in the main study up to the top concentration of 2000 μg Sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate/mL medium in the experiments without and with metabolic activation.
Mitomycin C (at 0.2 μg/mL) and colchicine (at 0.02 μg/mL) were employed as positive controls in the absence and cyclophosphamide (at 20 μg/mL) in the presence of metabolic activation.
Tests without metabolic activation (4- and 24-hour exposure)
The micronucleus frequencies of cultures treated with the concentrations of 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 or 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 μg Sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate/mL medium in the absence of metabolic activation (4- and 24-hour exposure, respectively) ranged from 3.0 to 4.5 micronucleated cells per 1000 binucleated cells. There was no dose-related increase in micronuclei up to the top concentration of 2000 μg/mL medium. The frequency of micronucleated cells was within the historical control range of the untreated and vehicle controls.
Vehicle controls should give reproducibly low and consistent micronucleus frequencies. In this test a frequency of 3.5 micronucleated cells per 1000 binucleated cells for the 4-hour and 24-hour exposure was observed. The vehicle result was within the historical control ranges.
In the positive control cultures the micronucleus frequencies were increased to 37.5 or 53.5 micronucleated cells per 1000 binucleate cells for the 4-hour and 24-hour exposure, respectively. This demonstrated that Mitomycin C induced significant chromosomal damage and colchicine induced significant damage to the cell division apparatus.
Test with metabolic activation (4-hour exposure)
The micronucleus frequencies of cultures treated with the concentrations of 125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 μg Sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate/ml medium (4-h exposure) in the presence of metabolic activation ranged from 2.5 to 4.5 micronucleated cells per 1000 bi nucleated cells. There was no dose-related increase in micronuclei up to the top concentration of 2000 μg/ml medium. The frequency of
micronucleated cells was within the historical control range of the untreated and vehicle controls.
Vehicle controls should give reproducibly low and consistent micronucleus frequencies. In this test a mean frequency of 3.5 micronucleated cells per 1000 binucleated cells was observed. The vehicle result was within the historical control ranges.
In the positive control culture the micronucleus frequency was increased to 27 .0 micronucleated cells per 1000 binucleate cells for the 4-hour exposure. This demonstrated that cyclophosphamide induced significant chromosomal damage.
Conclusion
Under the present test conditions, Sodium dihydrogen orthophosphate tested up to a concentration of 2000 μg/ml medium in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation employing two exposure times (without S9) and one exposure time (with S9) revealed no indications of chromosomal damage in the in vitro micronucleus test.
The results for the vehicle controls were within historical control range.
In the same test, Mitomycin C and cyclophosphamide induced significant chromosomal damage and colchicine induced significant damage to the cell division apparatus, respectively. Therefore, the test is considered valid.

In accordance with REACH Annex XI, Section 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 (REACH) the standard testing regime may be adapted in cases where a grouping or read-across approach has been applied.
The similarities may be based on:
(1) a common functional group
(2) the common precursors and/or the likelihood of common breakdown products via physical or biological processes, which result in structurally similar chemicals; or
(3) a constant pattern in the changing of the potency of the properties across the category
(1) The source and target substances are both inorganic salts of a monovalent cation from Group 1A of the periodic table, sodium or potassium, and pyrophosphoric/phosphoric acid. Thus, they all share the Na+ or K+ cation and the P2O74-/PO34- anion as common functional groups.
(2) All members of the group will ultimately dissociate into the common breakdown products of the Na+ or K+ cations and the P2O74-/PO34- anion. In biological systems pyrophosphates will be metabolised by intestinal alkaline phosphatase and it is assumed that the majority of diphosphate is absorbed as orthophosphate and thus both the target and source substances contain the same breakdown products.
(3) Potassium and sodium cations and phosphate anions are essential micronutrients and as such, their uptake is tightly regulated and is therefore not considered to pose a risk for genotoxicity.
It is therefore deemed scientifically justified to avoid any further testing and use the data from a study conducted on an orthophosphate (with either a potassium or sodium cation) for hazard assessment purposes.

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The study was conducted according to a method that was designed to assess the potential mutagenicity of the test material on the thymidine kinase, TK +/-, locus of the L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell line. The method used meets the requirements of the OECD (490) and Method B17 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.
One main experiment was performed. In this main experiment, L5178Y TK +/- 3.7.2c mouse lymphoma cells (heterozygous at the thymidine kinase locus) were treated with the test material at five dose levels, in duplicate, together with vehicle (water) and positive controls. The exposure groups used were as follows: 3 hour exposures both with and without metabolic activation. A repeat experiment was used with 3 hour exposure for the metabolic activation groups and 24 hours for the without metabolic activation groups.
The dose range of test material was selected following the results of a preliminary toxicity test and was 125 to 2000 µg/ml for all exposure groups.
In the preliminary study, cytotoxicity (decreased survival) was noted at a concentration of 1000 or 2000 µg/mL in the presence of metabolic activation (3-hour exposure). Hence, in the main study the highest concentration employed was 2000 µg PRAYPHOS™ MSP FG/FG GR/mL medium in the experiments without and with metabolic activation. The vehicle controls had acceptable mutant frequency values that were within the normal range for the L5178Y cell line at the TK +/- locus. The positive control materials induced marked increases in the mutant frequency indicating the satisfactory performance of the test and of the activity of the metabolising system.
The test material did not induce any toxicologically significant dose-related increases in the mutant frequency at any dose level, either with or without metabolic activation, in any of the exposure groups. - Evaluation criteria:

- Results
A preliminary study was conducted to establish the highest concentration for the main study. This study was performed without and with metabolic activation.A wide range of test item concentrations of 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, and 2000 µg sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate/mL medium were tested for cytotoxicity. Cytotoxicity (decreased survival) was noted at a concentration of 1000 or 2000 µg/mL in the presence of metabolic activation (3-hour exposure). For details, seeTable 1. No changes in pH or osmolality were noted in the test item formulations compared to the control (seeText table 7-1 'pH values and osmolality').
Hence, in the main study the highest concentration employed was 2000 µg sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate/mL medium in the experiments without and with metabolic activation.
Methylmethanesulfonate (0.013 or 0.012 µg/mL for a 3- and 24-hour exposure, respectively) was employed as a positive control in the absence of exogenous metabolic activation and 3-Methylcholanthrene (1.0 µg/mL) in the presence of exogenous metabolic activation.
In the main study, cytotoxicity (decreased relative total growth) was noted in the first experiment with metabolic activation at concentrations of 1000 and 2000 µg sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate/mL medium and at 2000 µg/mL medium in the second experiment with S9. No signs of cytotoxicity were noted in the experiments without metabolic activation.
The negative controls had mutation frequencies of 63.89 or 137.93 per 106 clonable cells in the experiments without metabolic activation (3- or 24-hour exposure, respectively, for details seeTable 3a) and 55.47 or 120.71 per 106 clonable cells in the experiments with metabolic activation (for details see Table 3b) and, hence, were all well within the historical data-range.
The mutation frequencies of the cultures treated with sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate ranged from 57.17 to 74.73 per 106 clonable cells (3-hour exposure) and from 84.33 to 164.59 per 106clonable cells (24-hour exposure) in the experiments without metabolic activation (for details seeTable 3a). In the experiments with metabolic activation, mutation frequencies ranged from 63.82 to 86.21 per 106 clonable cells (3-hour exposure, first assay) and from 50.23 to 155.35 per 106 clonable cells (3-hour exposure, second assay) (for details, seeTable 3b). These results were within the range of the negative control values and the normal range of 50 to 170 mutants per 106 viable cells and, hence, no mutagenicity was observed according to the criteria for assay evaluation.
In addition, no change was observed in the ratio of small to large mutant colonies, ranging from 0.40to 1.31 for sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate-treated cells and ratios of 0.42 to 0.94for the negative controls (see Table 4a and Table 4b).
The positive controls Methylmethanesulfonate (MMS) and 3-Methylcholanthrene (3‑MC) caused pronounced increases in the mutation frequency of 474.25 and 652.55 per 106clonable cells in the case of MMS (for details seeTable 3a) and of 387.42 and 489.98 per 106clonable cells in the case of 3-MC (for details seeTable 3b). All positive controls showed an increase in the small colony MF of at least 150 x 10-6above that seen in the concurrent solvent control and an absolute increase in total mutation frequency of at least 300 x 10-6. Furthermore, the mean relative total growth (RTG) for the positive controls was greater than or equal to 10%. Hence, the acceptance criteria were met.
The calculations of suspension growth of the negative controls were in the acceptance criteria range between 8 and 32 following 3-hour treatments or between 32 and 180 following 24-hour treatments (for details see Table 2a and Table 2b). The mean cloning efficiencies (CE = PEx 100) of the negative controls from the Mutation Experiments were between the range 65% to 120% (see Table 3a and Table 3b). Hence, the acceptance criteria described in were met.
The mutation frequency and the colony size ratio of the positive controls and negative controls without and with metabolic activation for the last 11 experiments (background data, not audited by the QAU-department) are attached.
The pH and osmolality data of the negative control and of all test item formulations in the medium were determined in the first preliminary test - see Text table 7-1 below in 'Any other information on results incl. tables.'
No relevant changes in pH or osmolality of the test item formulations at concentrations of 10.0 to 2000 µg/mL medium compared to the negative control were noted. - Conclusions:
- Under the present test conditions, sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate, tested up to a concentration of 2000 µg/mL medium, the recommended maximum concentration by the guideline, in two independent experiments was negative with respect to the mutant frequency in the L5178Y TK +/- mammalian cell mutagenicity test. Under these conditions, the positive controls exerted potent mutagenic effects and demonstrated the sensitivity of the test system and conditions.
In addition, no change was noted in the ratio of small to large mutant colonies. Therefore, sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate also did not exhibit clastogenic potential at the concentration-range investigated. According to the evaluation criteria for this assay, these findings indicate that sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate, tested up to a concentration of 2000 µg/mL medium, neither induced mutations nor had any chromosomal aberration potential. - Executive summary:
In order to investigate the mutagenic potential on mammalian cells, the sodium dihydrogenorthophosphatewas assayed in a gene mutation assay in cultured mammalian cells (L5178Y TK +/‑) both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation by a liver post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix) from Aroclor 1254‑induced rats. The test was carried out employing two exposure times without S9 mix: 3 and 24 hours, and one exposure time with S9 mix: 3 hours, the experiment with S9 mix was carried out in two independent assays.
Sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate was completely dissolved in highly purified water. The vehicle highly purified water served as the negative control.
A preliminary study was conducted to establish the highest concentration for the main study. This study was performed without and with metabolic activation. A wide range of test item concentrations of 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, and 2000 µg sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate/mL medium were tested for cytotoxicity. Cytotoxicity (decreased survival) was noted at a concentration of 1000 or 2000 µg/mL in the presence of metabolic activation (3-hour exposure). No changes in pH or osmolality were noted in the test item formulations compared to the control.
Hence, in the main study the highest concentration employed was 2000 µg sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate/mL medium in the experiments without and with metabolic activation.
Methylmethanesulfonate (0.013 or 0.012 µg/mL for a 3- and 24-hour exposure, respectively) was employed as a positive control in the absence of exogenous metabolic activation and 3‑Methylcholanthrene (1.0 µg/mL) in the presence of exogenous metabolic activation.
In the main study, cytotoxicity (decreased relative total growth) was noted in the first experiment with metabolic activation at concentrations of 1000 and 2000 µg sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate/mL medium and at 2000 µg/mL medium in the second experiment with S9. No signs of cytotoxicity were noted in the experiments without metabolic activation.
The negative controls had mutation frequencies of 63.89 or 137.93 per 106clonable cells in the experiments without metabolic activation(3- or 24-hour exposure, respectively,and 55.47or 120.71 per 106clonable cells in the experiments with metabolic activationand, hence, were all well within the historical data-range.
The mutation frequencies of the cultures treated with sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate ranged from 57.17 to 74.73 per 106clonable cells (3-hour exposure) and from 84.33 to 164.59 per 106clonable cells (24-hour exposure) in the experiments without metabolic activation. In the experiments with metabolic activation, mutation frequencies ranged from 63.82 to 86.21 per 106clonable cells (3-hour exposure, first assay) and from 50.23 to 155.35 per 106clonable cells (3-hour exposure, second assay). These results were within the range of the negative control values and the normal range of 50 to 170 mutants per 106viable cells and, hence, no mutagenicity was observed according to the criteria for assay evaluation.
In addition, no change was observed in the ratio of small to large mutant colonies, ranging from 0.40 to 1.31 for sodium dihydrogenorthophosphate -treated cells and ratios of 0.42 to 0.94 for the negative controls.
The positive controls Methylmethanesulfonate (MMS) and 3-Methylcholanthrene (3‑MC) caused pronounced increases in the mutation frequency of 474.25 and 652.55 per 106clonable cells in the case of MMS and of 387.42 and 489.98 per 106clonable cells in the case of 3-MC. As the increase in the small colony mutation frequency was at least 150 x 10-6above the concurrent negative control, anabsolute increase in totalmutation frequency was at least 300 x 10-6 for the positive controls and the mean relative total growth (RTG) greater than or equal to 10%, the acceptance criteria for the positive controls were met.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
No classification for in vitro genetic toxicity is proposed. This is based on a weight of evidence approach using all relevant data on tetrapotassium pyrophosphate and analogous substances and scientific justification for no further testing for the following reasons:
Sodium and potassium phosphates are routinely used in the nutrient broths that support cell cultures in the laboratory and as such bacteria are constantly exposed to these inorganic phosphates. In addition, tetrapotassium pyrophosphate will hydrolyse to potassium orthophosphates which are also found in the metabolic activation mixture (e.g. S9-mix) which is used in a chromosomal aberration test to determine whether a test chemical can be metabolized within the body to produce a compound that may be genotoxic. The constant exposure of bacteria to these materials suggests that they pose no inherent risk of genotoxicity.
In addition the Na+, K+ and PO43-ions are essential for life and are not considered to be genotoxic or mutagenic in standard test systems. As such and in accordance with Regulation (EC) No.1272/2008 (EU CLP) no classification is proposed.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation).
