Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

Prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. Potassium dodecyl sulfate was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Prediction model based estimation and data from read across chemical have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9). The studies are as mentioned below

  Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Gene mutation toxicity was predicted for Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9) using the battery approach from Danish QSAR database (2017). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium bacteria in the Ames test. The end point for gene mutation has been modeled in the Danish QSAR using the three software systems Leadscope, CASE Ultra and SciQSAR. Based on predictions from these three systems, a fourth and overall battery prediction is made. The battery prediction is made using the so called Battery algorithm. With the battery approach it is in many cases possible to reduce “noise” from the individual model estimates and thereby improve accuracy and/or broaden the applicability domain.

 Gene mutation toxicity study as predicted by Potassium dodecyl sulfate is negative and hence the chemical is predicted to not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by U. S. National Library of Medicine (CCRIS - Chemical Carcinogenisis Research Information System, US national Library of Medicine reviewed by SRC, 2017) to determine the mutagenic nature of sodium dodecyl sulfate (RA CAS no151-21-3). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. In a reverse gene mutation assay on Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 98, TA100, TA1535 and TA 1537. The bacterial strains were exposed to Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate at concentration of 10-1000 µg/plate in the presence of S9 metabolic activation. While the concentration were 3-333 µg/plate in the absence of mammalian metabolic activation. No mutagenic effects were observed in all tested strains with and without metabolic activation. Therefore Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate cannot be considered as mutagenic in vitro in salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA100, TA1535 and TA 1537. Hence it cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Zeiger E et al. (Environmental and molecular mutagenesis) to determine the mutagenic nature of Heptanoic acid (111-14-8). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. In a reverse gene mutation assay on Salmonella typhimurium strain TA 1535, TA 1537, TA97, TA98 and TA100. The bacterial strains were exposed to Heptanoic acid at concentration of 0, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 1666, 3333 and 6666 µg/plate in the presence or absence of mammalian metabolic activation. Within the positive controls performed, all induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. No north worthy increase in the number of revertant colonies was induced in all tested strains with and without metabolic activation. Therefore Heptanoic acid cannot be considered as mutagenic in vitro in salmonella typhimurium TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537. Hence it cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across substance and applying weight of evidence Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Thus based on the above annotation and CLP criteria for the target chemical .Potassium dodecyl sulfate (4706-78-9) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
