No significant effects on reproduction were observed at the highest concentration tested.
Na-LAS was fed for 84 days to 4 groups of weanling rats for two years (three generations). No significant effects were observed at the highest dose tested and the resulting NOAEL for the parental and both offspring generations was 350 mg/kg bw (0.5%). - Executive summary:
A three-generation reproduction study was conducted on male/female rats. LAS was administered in the diet at doses of 0.02, 0.1, 0.5% (14, 70, 350 mg/kg bw/day). A control group was used. Animals were fed for 84 days to the 4 groups of weaning rats, each consisting of 50 animals of both sexes (FO-generation). Twenty females from each dose group were mated with 20 males from the same group. The first litters of each generation (F1a-generation) were sacrificed at 21 days of age. Ten days after the first litter was sacrificed, all females were re-mated with different males from the same group. The F2a-generation was sacrificed at the F1a-generation. From the resulting F1b-generation, 20 males and females of each group were selected at weaning to continue their respective diets for 80 to 85 days until they were mated to produce the F2b-generation. This generation was treated with LAS for a further 8 weeks and mated again. The first litter (F3a) was sacrificed; the F3b-generation was treated until the animals were weaned. General reproduction including fertility gestation, parturition, neonatal viability, lactation, and post-weaning growth was normal for all test groups and did not deviate from the controls in each generation. No gross abnormalities were noted. No definitive adverse effects due to the test material were noted in the haematology and pathology.
NOAEL Parental: 350 mg/kg bw/day
NOAEL F1 Offspring: 350 mg/kg bw/day
NOAEL F2 Offspring: 350 mg/kg bw/day

From the second litters of the initial (Fo) and second (F1b) generations, 10 males and 20 females were selected from each group at weaning in order to form the second and third (F2b) generations, respectively.
In the parent animals, observations of signs of reaction, mortalities, food consumption, bodyweight change, pregnancy rate, mating performance, and gestation period were made throughout the study. As soon as possible (< 12 hours) after birth, all young were counted, identified by toe amputation and examined for external abnormalities. Up to day 21 post partum, animals were examined daily for dead and abnormal young. Young of the first litters and surplus young of the second litters were sacrificed and examined for abnormalities internally and externally.
Rats of the F3b generation were killed at 3 weeks old and were also examined internally and externally for abnormalities. For the F3b generation, tissue from the brain, liver, heart, pituitary, spleen, thyroid, kidneys, thymus, adrenals, lungs, gonads, pancreas, bladder, bone, bone marrow, sections of the stomach, and sections of the small and large intestines were removed and examined. - GLP compliance:

No significant effects on reproduction were observed at the highest concentration tested.
The NOAEL for LAS is 170 mg/kg bw/day, corresponding to the highest tested dose - Executive summary:
General parental toxicity: There were no signs of malreaction to treatment among parents and the incidence of sporadic deaths and total litter losses were unrelated to dosage. Pregnancy rate and the duration of gestation were unaffected. Food consumption and bodyweight changes showed no consistent relationship to dosage over the three generations.
Toxicity to offspring: Examining litter parameters, statistically significant differences were occasionally observed but they showed no consistent dosage related trends over the three generations and were considered to be unrelated to treatment. The incidence of malformations was unaffected by treatment. Additional organ weight analysis, histopathology and skeletal staining of representative young from the F3b generation revealed no changes that could
be conclusively related to treatment

- This grouping method contains simple categories for estrogen receptor (ER) binding. This method is relevant for reproductive toxicity endpoints in fish and mammals.
Estrogen receptor (ER) binding is a molecular initiating event much like protein binding. It is an endpoint where several comprehensive databases exist, which has lead to the development of several approaches for using (Q)SARs to predict ER binding and possible subsequent endocrine disruption.
The incorporated Toolbox ER binding profiling scheme is based on structural and parametric rules extracted from literature sources and supported by experimental data . The ER-binding profiler clasifies chemicals as non binders or binders depending on molecular weight (MW) and structural characteristics of the chemicals:
1. Very strong binders: Chemicals with MW between 200 and 500 Da and two rings with a hydroxyl group connected to each of them.
2.Strong binders: Chemicals with at least one 5-or 6-members carbon ring with an unhindered hydroxyl or amino group and MW between 200 and 500 Da;
3.Moderate binders: Chemicals with at least one 5-or 6-members carbon ring with an unhindered hydroxyl or amino group and MW between 170 and 200 Da;
4. Weak binders: Chemicals with at least one 5-or 6-members carbon ring with an unhindered hydroxyl or amino group and MW less than 170 Da;
If the target chemical does not meet some of the structural and parametric requirements listed above it is classified as Non binder:
Non binder with impaired hydroxyl or amino group;
Non binder, MW more than 500 Da;
Non binders without hydroxyl or amino group;
Non-binder, non-cyclic. - GLP compliance:

Estrogen receptor (ER) binding is a molecular initiating event much like protein binding that leads to a series of adverse outcomes, which are typically considered reproductive and development hazards. It is an endpoint where several comprehensive databases exist, which has lead to the development of several approaches for using (Q)SARs to predict ER-binding and possible endocrine disruption .
Popular among these are the “four phase” assessment that includes Comparative Molecular Field Analysis (CoMFA) and the Common Reactivity Pattern Approach (COREPA)
Since the RE-binding is a receptor mediated event, particular organic functional groups, size and shape are critical to binding potency.
Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate have a molecular weight greater than 500, but do not possess a cyclic structure is reported to non-binders to the receptor and therefore Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate does not cause reproductive toxicity.
No binding to Estrogen Receptor Alpha (Log RBA <-3) for the Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate (CAS# 26264-06-2) and therefore Calcium dodecylbenzenesulphonate does not cause reproductive toxicity.

Developmental Toxicity
In reproductive toxicity study performed according to the reproduction/developmental toxicity screening test [OECD TG 422] conditions and dose were same as repeated dose toxicity. The offspring delivered by chemical-treated rats had been observed until day 4 of postpartum. There were no statistically significant differences were seen in the following parameters: the number of live and dead pups, live pups/implantation ratio, dead pups/implantation ratio, pre-implantation loss, post-implantation loss, sex ratio, viability index, number of neonates with external anomalies, and body weights of pups on post-natal day 0 and day 4. There were no treatment-related changes in all parameters of offsprings during the parturition and lactation periods and the NOAEL for developmental toxicity was 400mg/kg bw/day for F1 pubs.
- Endpoint:
- developmental toxicity
- Type of information:
- read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
- Adequacy of study:
- weight of evidence
- Reliability:
- 2 (reliable with restrictions)
- Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
- study well documented, meets generally accepted scientific principles, acceptable for assessment
- Justification for type of information:
- C12 LAS; Linear Alkylbenzene Sulfonate (LAS)) is a very close analogue of Calcium dodecylbenzenesulfonate (CAS No 26264-06-2, EC Number; 247-557-8) ) and read-across is valid.
- Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
- read-across source
- Qualifier:
- no guideline followed
- Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Method: LAS was applied to depilated areas on the chests and backs of female rats 12- 18 weeks of age. Five to six hours prior to treatment an exposure site (roughly 24 cm2) in the dorsothoracic region of each animal from group II through IX was clipped to a length of 1 mm. The animals were reclipped every 48 hr throughout the study. Group I animals were unclipped, group II animals were clipped but not treated and group III animals were clipped and treated with tap water. The mated female rats were treated daily from day 0 through day 20 of gestation. A 0.5-ml sample of the appropriate concentration of LAS and/or tap water was applied once daily to the clipped area and spread with a gloved finger over as much of the exposure site as
possible. Each application was carried out slowly over a 3-min period. In the 1, 5 and 20% LAS groups (groups VII, VIII and IX, respectively corresponding to 20, 100 and 400 mg/kg/day) the test material was allowed to remain on the backs of the animals for 30 min. after which it was removed with warm tap water. The test material was not removed from the backs of the animals in the 0.05, 0.1 and 0.5% LAS groups (groups IV, V and VI corresponding to 1, 2 and 10 mg/kg/day). Animal body weight and food consumption were determined during the treatment period. Daily observations were also made for toxicological effects. - GLP compliance:

Additional information
LAS (as a read across) was injected (subcutaneous) at doses of 20 mL/kg/day from day 0 to 3 or day 8 to 11 of pregnancy.
When dams were administered the 1% solution from day 0 to 3 of pregnancy, there was an initial decrease in body weight and necrosis at the injection sites. The number of pregnancies decreased in the mice given the 1% solution compared to the controls (61.5% vs. 93.3%) There were no significant changes with respect to litter parameters, major malformations or minor abnormalities.
