Additional information:

Skin sensitisation:

The study results for read-across substance (CAS: 483-20-5) are used for toxicity to skin sensitization. Since the read-across is a major component of the target Aluminium lake substance, the inference can be drawn using the information for the major component. 

On the basis of prediction using QSAR Toolbox by SSS (2016), Skin sensitisation property of fd & c blue no. 2 was estimated to benot sensitising in guuinea pig maximisation test.

Peer reviewed articles were reviewed to determine the Skin sensitisation of the similar substance, C.I. Acid blue 74 (CAS no 860-22-0). The studies are summarized as below:

 

The indigo carmine compound (G. Mancuso et al 1990) was patch tested for the allergy in the 204 (191 male and 13 female) worker from 15 Italian feed mills. 1% test substance in petrolatum was applied on back of workers using Scanpor tape (Norgesplaster,Norway) for 48 hr. Reactions were read at 48 and 96 h according to the ICDRG scale. Indigo carmine shows positive reaction in two cases. 3 workers (workers with cutaneous complaints (contact dermatitis or pruritus sine materia)) shows positive reaction and 2 workers (workers without cutaneous complaints) shows positive reaction. Hence, the substance indigo carmine is reported to be skin sensitizing to human.

 

From Patch testing to FD&C and D&C dyes 2003; Patch test of substance FD&C Blue 2 was done with 21 patients. 2% of test substance in petrolatum was applied. No positive reaction was observed.

 

From review article (Richard J. Lewis, Sr., 2012)The indigo carmine compound was patch tested for the allergy in the 204 worker from 15 Italian feed mills. The prevalence of occupational contact dermatitis was 13.7%, 16.7% with contact dermatitis and 6.8% of asymptomatic subjects patch tested with indigo carmine. It shows that indigo carmine is skin sensitizing compound.

 

From review article (EFSA Journal., 2015) acute oral toxicity test was conducted on rat administered indigo carmine by oral route. LD50 value was found to be 2000 mg/kg. In acute oral toxicity test of chemical indigo carmine administered orally to rat.

 

 

Based on the key study used and its relative supporting data, the test material classify as Skin sensitisation.
