Description of key information

No data is available on Biphenyl-2-ol, ethoxylated, esters with acrylic acid .

2-phenoxyethyl acrylate was evaluated as a skin sensitiser (Skin Sens 1A) based on result from a GPMT-test.

Based on these data Biphenyl-2-ol, ethoxylated, esters with acrylic acid should be considered as a skin sensitiser as well and classification as Skin Sens 1A should apply.

No mortality occured during the experiment, and no clinical signs were observed. Bodyweight gain was slightly inferior to that of control animals.

On day 11, after removal of dressing, a slight necrosis in the control and a necrosis in the treated animals were observed.

After challenge application at day 26 a very slight (1) and well-defined (2)erythema was observed with following frequencies;

Males; after 24 hours erythem score 1 and 2 was observed in 7 and 3 out of 10, respectively.

Males; after 48 hours erythem score 1 and 2 was observed in 6 and 4 out of 10, respectively.

Females; after 24 hours erythem score 1 and 2 was observed in 4 and 6 out of 10, respectively.

Females; after 48 hours erythem score 1 and 2 was observed in 4 and 6 out of 10, respectively.

No signs of erythma were observed at the left flank of any of the animals.

Dryness of skin was observed in all animals after 48 hours.

No oedema was observed. Cutaneous reactions were slightly more marked in females than in males.

Due to an observation of "doubtful" macroscopic reactions, a histological examination was performed of the cutaneous samples of the right flank of the treated group.

The control group showed no morphlogical changes.

In the treated group a number of treatment related changes was observed;

A slight to moderate acanthosis (thickening of the skin) in all animals of both sexes.

A minimal to marked hyperkeratosis in all animals of both sexes.

A minimal to slight mononuclear or polynuclear cell infiltration in all animals of both sexes.

A slight to moderate vascular ectasia in all animals of both sexes.

Slight haemorrhages in 2 out of 10 females.

A moderate spongiosis in 1 out of 10 females.

Interpretation of results:

Remarks:
Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: expert judgment
Conclusions:
Challenge exposure to 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate, showed to induce cutaneous reactions in guinea pigs, at a concentration of 1 % in paraffin oil, considered to be a result of a sensitization reaction. Based on these results, It is therefore concluded that 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate is a skin sensitizer.
Executive summary:

The sensitization potential of 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate was evaluated in the guinea-pig by intradermal injection and cutaneous application, according to the maximation method of Magnusson and Kligman (OECD 406) The study was performed under GLP conditions. Challenge exposure to 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate, showed to induce cutaneous reactions in guinea pigs, at a concentration of 1 % in paraffin oil, considered to be a result of a sensitization reaction.

Based on these results, 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate should be classified as a sensitizer according to the CLP regulation 1272/2008, as it meets the criteria; ≥ 60 % responding at > 0.1 % to ≤ 1 % intradermal induction dose. The test results corresponds to a classification as Skin. Sens. 1A.

Endpoint:
skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA)
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Justification for type of information:
The hypothesis for a read-across approach from data on 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate to o-phenylphenolethyl acrylate is the similarity of the chemical structures and physical chemical properties of the two substances.

Executive summary:

No data is available for Biphenyl-2-ol, ethoxylated, esters with acrylic acid (M1142) (T).

Data from a OECD 406 guideline studie (non-LLNA) on 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate (S1) showed to induce cutaneous reactions in guinea pigs, at a concentration of 1 % in paraffin oil, considered to be a result of a sensitization reaction. Due to structural and pysico-chemical similarity to Biphenyl-2-ol, ethoxylated, esters with acrylic acid, a skin sensitization potential can be concluded for Biphenyl-2-ol, ethoxylated, esters with acrylic acid as well.

Based on these results, 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate and Biphenyl-2-ol, ethoxylated, esters with acrylic acid should be classified as a sensitizer according to the CLP regulation 1272/2008, as it meets the criteria; ≥ 60 % responding at > 0.1 % to ≤ 1 % intradermal induction dose. The test results corresponds to a classification as Skin. Sens. 1A.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed (sensitising)
Additional information:

The sensitization potential of 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate was evaluated in the guinea-pig by intradermal injection and cutaneous application, according to the maximation method of Magnusson and Kligman (OECD 406). The study was performed under GLP conditions using groups of 5 male/5 female (control group) and 10 male/female (test group). On day 11, after removal of dressing, a slight necrosis in the control and a necrosis in the treated animals were observed. After challenge application at day 26 a very slight (1) and well-defined (2) erythema was observed with following frequencies:

Males; after 24 hours erythem score 1 and 2 was observed in 7 and 3 out of 10, respectively.

Males; after 48 hours erythem score 1 and 2 was observed in 6 and 4 out of 10, respectively.

Females; after 24 hours erythem score 1 and 2 was observed in 4 and 6 out of 10, respectively.

Females; after 48 hours erythem score 1 and 2 was observed in 4 and 6 out of 10, respectively.

Dryness of the skin was observed in all animals after 48 hours. No oedema was observed. Cutaneous reactions were slightly more marked in females than in males.

In summary, challenge exposure to 2 -phenoxyethyl acrylate showed to induce cutaneous reactions in guinea pigs, at a concentration of 1 % in paraffin oil, considered to be a result of a sensitization reaction. It is therefore concluded that 2-phenoxyethyl acrylate is a skin sensitizer and should be classified accordingly.
