6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Acute oral toxicity: 

The acute oral toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats for the test chemical.The study concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral toxicity.Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral toxicity. 

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 0.0000000701 Pa. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

Acute Dermal toxicity:

The acute dermal toxicity dose (LD50) was considered based on experimental study conducted on rats for the test chemical. The study concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute dermal toxicity.

Interpretation of results:

other: Not classified

Conclusions:

Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of the given test chemical was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of the given test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category Not classified” criteria of CLP.

Executive summary:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.

No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of  2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.

Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.

Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of the given test chemical was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight.  Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of the given test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category Not classified” criteria of CLP.

Conclusions:

It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant.
CLP Classification: “Not classified”.

Executive summary:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats.

The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days.   

Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

Additional information

Acute oral toxicity:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute oral toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats.

Initially, three female animals were treated at the dose level of 300 mg/kg body weight of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality at 24 hours after the dosing. As no mortality was observed at 24 hours after the dosing, three female animals were added to the study and treated with the same dose of 300 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 300 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing.

No mortality was observed at 300 mg/kg dose group, hence additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of 2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - I). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. As no mortality were observed at 24 hours after the dosing, additional three female animals were treated with the higher dose of  2000 mg/kg of the test item (Step - II). Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality after the dosing. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities in animals from 300 mg/kg and 2000 mg/kg dose groups.

Under the condition of the study, the acute oral LD50 value of the given test chemical was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight.  Thus, it was concluded that the acute toxicity study of the given test chemical, when administered via oral route in Sprague Dawley rats falls into the “Category Not classified” criteria of CLP.

 

Acute Inhalation Toxicity:

The acute inhalation toxicity study need not be conducted because exposure to humans via inhalation route is not likely taking into account due to the low vapour pressure of the test chemical, which is reported to be 0.0000000701 Pa. Thus, exposure to inhalable dust, mist and vapour of the chemical is highly unlikely. Therefore this study is considered for waiver. 

Acute Dermal Toxicity:

The reported study was designed and conducted to determine the acute dermal toxicity profile of the given test chemical in Sprague Dawley rats.

The test item was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days.   

Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

It was concluded that the acute dermal median lethal dose (LD50) of the given test chemical, when administered to male and female Sprague Dawley rats was considered to be >2000 mg/kg body weight. Thus, according to CLP criteria for acute toxicity rating for the chemicals, it infers that the given test chemical does not classify as an acute dermal toxicant. CLP Classification: “Not classified”.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the above studies on test chemical, it can be concluded that the LD50 value is >2000 mg/kg bw, for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. Thus, comparing this value with the criteria of CLP regulation, the given test chemical cannot be classified for acute oral and acute dermal toxicity. For acute inhalation toxicity wavier was added so, not possible to classify.
