2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino]phenyl]vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium acetate

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Repeated dose toxicity: Oral

The No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test chemical 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino] phenyl] vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium acetate (CAs no 65122-06-7) using male and female rats is considered to be 1200 mg/Kg/day.

Repeated dose toxicity: Inhalation

2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino] phenyl] vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium acetate (CAs no 65122-06-7) has very low vapor pressure (2.3E-013 Pa.), so the potential for the generation of inhalable vapours is very low. Also the normal conditions of use of this substance will not result in aerosols, particles or droplets of an inhalable size, so exposure to humans via the inhalatory route will be highly unlikely and therefore this end point was considered for waiver.

Repeated dose toxicity: Dermal

The acute dermal toxicity value for 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino] phenyl] vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium acetate (CAs no 65122-06-7) (as provided in section 7.2.3) is >2000 mg/kg body weight. The substance was also found to be not irritating and not sensitizing to the skin.  Considering this, the end point for repeated dermal toxicity is considered as waiver.

Executive summary:

Data available for the test chemicals was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino] phenyl] vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium acetate (CAs no 65122-06-7). The studies are as mentioned below:

Chronic repeated dose oral toxicity study was performed to evaluate the toxic nature of the test chemical. Male and female albino rats were used in the study. The test compound was mixed with diet and used at dose levels of 0, 0.25, 1.0 or 3.0 % (0, 100, 400, 1200 mg/kg/day). The rats were treated for 2 years. The treated animals were noted for clinical signs, mortality, chenges in food consumption, hematology, blood chemistry, gross pathology and histopathology. Appearance and behavior of the test rats were generally comparable to those of the controls. No mortality was observed in the treated rats. At the 3% level (1200 mg/Kg/day), food consumption was significant lower than controls for the first six months but comparable to controls during the remainder of the study. Significantly lower hematocrit and hemoglobin values in comparison with controls were obtained at all time intervals except 24 months for the males fed 3%. No such effect was noted in the females. Bilirubinuria was observed at 24 months in male and female at 1% and females at 3%. The test animals sacrificed at 52 weeks did not present any gross changes in the organs or viscera attributable to the test material. Autopsies performed on the animals which died during the second year of the study did not reveal any consistent gross changes. Microscopic findings at two years revealed no compound related effects on the kidneys or other tissues in either sex. Based on the observations made, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test chemical using male and female Albino rats is considered to be 1200 mg/Kg/day.

Subacute repeated dose oral toxicity study was performed to evaluate the toxic nature of the test chemical. The study was performed using rats for 30 days. During the study period,Normocytic anemia was noted at the highest dose level. Liver function tests impaired and proteinuria was observed. Based on the observations made, No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test chemical using rats is considered to be 968 mg/Kg/day.

Based on the data available for the test chemical, the No Observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test chemical using male and female rats is considered to be 1200 mg/Kg/day. 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino]phenyl]vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium acetate (CAs no 65122-06-7) is therefore not likely to be toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

The substance was also found to be not irritating and not sensitizing to the skin.  Considering this, the end point for repeated dermal toxicity is considered as waiver.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the data available for the test chemical, 2-[2-[4-[(2-cyanoethyl)methylamino] phenyl] vinyl]-1,3,3-trimethyl-3H-indolium acetate (CAs no 65122-06-7) is not likely to be toxic upon repeated exposure by oral route as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
