Additional information

Skin Irritation:

In different studies, 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid has been investigated for potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with predicted data for target chemical and its structurally and functionally similar read across substances, 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid [CAS: 40306-75-0], 7-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid [CAS: 87-02-5] and 6-Amino-4-hydroxy-2 -naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid [CAS: 90-51-7]. The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the skin irritation potential was estimated for 3-amino-5 -hydroxynaphthalene-2,7 -disulphonic acid. 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid was not irritating to the skin of Vienna White rabbits.

Skin irritation effects were also estimated by four different models i.e, Battery, Leadscope, SciQSAR and CASE Ultra used within Danish QSAR database for 3-amino-5 -hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid . Based on estimation, no severe skin irritation effects were known when 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid was exposed to rabbit skin. Hence, 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid can be considered not irritating to skin.

Both the estimated results are in agreement with each other, suggesting that 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid is not irritating to skin.

The above studies are further supported by the experimental study conducted in SSS sponsored lab(Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB has letter of access, 2012), for the structurally and functionally similar read across substance, 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid [CAS: 40306-75-0].The study was performed according to OECD 404. The animals were prepared 24 hrs prior to application of test product. The furs from the dorsal area of trunk of animals were removed with electric clippers exposing an area measuring approximately 6 cm2 of body surface area of animal. The care was taken such that abrasion penetrated the Stratum corneum only and not dermis. The Primary Dermal Irritation Index(PDII) after 14 days was 0.5.

The result obtained from present study reveals that the test compound 3-acetamido-5-amino-4-hydroxybenzenesulphonic acid was not irritating to skin of the New Zealand white rabbits when applied to the shaven back intact skin.

These studies are also supported by the experimental study summarized in Chemosphere. Vol. 28, No. 12, pp. 2203.2236, 1994, for the structurally and functionally similar read across substance, 7-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid [CAS: 87-02-5]. 500 mg 7-amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (I acid) was applied to the inner surface of the ears of 2 rabbits. 7-amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid (I acid) was applied under an adhesive dressing for 24 hours to the skin of male and Female New Zealand white rabbits. At the end of the exposure period, the test substance was washed off with water and soap/vegetable oil. The observation period was 7 days. No signs of irritation were observed after 7 days.

Hence, 7-amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid can be considered not irritating to rabbit skin.

These studies are also supported by the experimental study summarized in Chemosphere. Vol. 28, No. 12, pp. 2203.2236, 1994, for the structurally and functionally similar read across substance, 6 -Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid [CAS: 90-51-7]. 500 mg 6-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid was applied to the inner surface of the ears of 2 rabbits. 6-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid was applied under an adhesive dressing for 24 hours to the skin of male and Female New Zealand white rabbits. At the end of the exposure period, the test substance was washed off with water and soap/vegetable oil. The observation period was 7 days. No skin irritation was observed after 7 days.

Hence, 6-Amino-4-hydroxy-2-naphthalene-6-sulfonic acid can be considered not-irritating to rabbit skin.

Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid can be considered to be not irritating to skin. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

Eye Irritation:

In different studies, 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid has been investigated for potential for ocular irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with predicted data for target chemical and its structurally and functionally similar read across substances, 2 -aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid [CAS:117-62-4], 7-Amino-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid[CAS: 118-03-6] and 6-aminonaphthalene-1, 3-disulfonic acid[CAS: 118-33-2]. The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the eye irritation potential was estimated for3-amino-5 -hydroxynaphthalene-2,7 -disulphonic acid. 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid was severely irritating to the eyes of rabbits.

This result is supported by the experimental study summarized in SAX's Dangerous properties of industrial material, 12th edition, 2012; for the structurally and functionally similar read across substance, 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid [CAS:117-62-4]. 20 mg of 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid was instilled into the eyes of rabbits. The rabbits were observed for signs of ocular lesions till 24 hours. 20 mg of 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid caused moderate irritation to the rabbit eyes after 24 hours.

Hence, 2-aminonaphthalene-1,5-disulfonic acid can be considered moderately irritating rabbit eyes.

These results are also supported by the experimental study summarized in SAX's Dangerous properties of industrial material, 12th edition, 2012; for the structurally and functionally similar read across substance, 7-Amino-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid[CAS: 118-03-6]. 500 mg of 7-Amino-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid was instilled into rabbit eyes and observed for signs of irritation till 24 hours.

7-Amino-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid was mildly irritating to rabbit eyes after 24 hours of exposure.

Hence, 7-Amino-1,3,6-naphthalenetrisulfonic acid can be considered to be an eye irritant.

The above results are further supported by the experimental study summarized in Chemosphere. Vol. 28, No. 12, pp. 2203.2236, 1994; for the structurally and functionally similar read across substance, 6-aminonaphthalene-1, 3-disulfonic acid [CAS: 118-33-2]. 750 µg of 6-amino-1,3- Naphthalene disulfonic acid was instilled into rabbit eyes and observed for signs of irritation till 24 hours. 6-amino-1,3- Naphthalene disulfonic acid was severely irritating to rabbit eyes after 24 hours of exposure.

Hence, 6-amino-1,3- Naphthalene disulfonic acid can be considered to be an eye irritant.

Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid can be considered to be irritating to eyes. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2”.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Available studies for 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid indicate that it is not likely to any cause irritation to skin, but it causes eye irritation.

Hence, 3-amino-5-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonic acid can be classified under the category “Not Classified” for skin and “Category 2” for eyes as per CLP.
