Endpoint summary

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for 1,5-bis(cyclohexylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone ( 15958-68-6). 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. 1,5-bis(cyclohexylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone  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.

Additional information

Prediction model based estimation and data from read across chemical have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of 1,5-bis(cyclohexylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone ( 15958-68-6).The studies are as mentioned below

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.4 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for 1,5-bis(cyclohexylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone ( 15958-68-6). 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. 1,5-bis(cyclohexylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone  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.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Patrudu S. Makenaet al.( Food and Chemical Toxicology,2007)to determine the mutagenic nature of (-)-Epigallocatechin , Regulatory name; 2H-1-Benzopyran-3,5,7-triol, 3,4-dihydro-2-(3,4,5-trihydroxyphenyl)-, (2R,3R). 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. (-)-Epigallocatechin was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential .For this purpose Ames Salmonella/microsomal mutagenicity inhibition test was performed on Salmonella typhimurium TA102. The test material was exposed at the concentration of 0 and 50 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mutagenic potential. No mutagenic effects were observed in the presence and absence of S9. Therefore (-)-Epigallocatechin was considered to be non mutagenic for Salmonella typhimurium TA102. Hence the test substance cannot be classified as genetox in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Errol Zeiger et.al. (Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, 1992) to determine the mutagenic nature of 4,4'-Dioctyldiphenylamine (101-67-7). 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. 4,4'-Dioctyldiphenylaminewas assessed for its mutagenic potential .For this purpose bacterial reverse mutation assay was performed on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537. The test material was used at the concentration of 100-10000 µg/PLATE in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. No mutagenic effects were observed in any strain. Therefore 4,4'-Dioctyldiphenylamine was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Hence the test substance 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 1,5-bis(cyclohexylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone ( 15958-68-6)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 . 1,5-bis(cyclohexylamino)-9,10-anthraquinone ( 15958-68-6)does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
