Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Data available for the structurally and functionally similar read across chemicals has been reviewed to determine the skin sensitization potential of the test chemical Reaction mass of 1,4-bis(butylamino)anthraquinone and 1,4-bis(methylamino)anthraquinone and 1,4-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)amino]anthraquinone and 1-(butylamino)-4-(methylamino)anthraquinone and 1-(butylamino)-4-[(2-ethylhexyl)amino]anthraquinone and 1-[(2-ethylhexyl)amino]-4-(methylamino)anthraquinone (EC No: 911-358-0). The studies are as mentioned below:

 

The peer reviewed journal conducted skin sensitization study for read across chemicals in albino guinea pig using modified Buehler and Klecak method for open Epicutaneous testing. In this test, for the induction phase, the left flanks of 10 albino guinea pigs were shaved and the each test material were applied three times weekly (Monday, Wednesday Friday) for three consecutive weeks. Each animal received 0.1 ml of the each test material over a 1.8-cm circular area. Following the induction period, the guinea pigs entered the challenge phase. The challenge phase began after a two-week rest period when the right flank of each guinea pig was shaved and exposed to three different concentration (10.0%, 5.0%, and 2.50%of the induction concentration). Twenty-four hours after the last induction and challenge application, the animals were depilated to clearly observe dermal reactions. The test sites were graded for erythema and edema 24 and 48 hours post-application using a four-point ordinal scale (0 = no reaction, 1 -- slight reaction, 2 = moderate reaction, 3 = severe reaction. A positive reaction was defined as an erythema/edema value during the challenge phase of at least one skin grade higher than during the last induction phase.  No erythema/edema was observed after 24 and 48 hours post-application. Hence the test chemical was considered as not sensitizing to the guinea pigs’ skin.

 

The above result was further supported by another experimental study conducted by same peer reviewed journal for another similar read across chemical. The study was followed by the same method as per mentioned in above study in albino guinea pigs. Since no erythema/edema was observed after 24 and 48 hours post-application, the test chemical was considered as not sensitizing to the guinea pigs’ skin.

 

Based on the above summarized studies for target chemical Reaction mass of 1,4-bis(butylamino)anthraquinone and 1,4-bis(methylamino)anthraquinone and 1,4-bis[(2-ethylhexyl)amino]anthraquinone and 1-(butylamino)-4-(methylamino)anthraquinone and 1-(butylamino)-4-[(2-ethylhexyl)amino]anthraquinone and 1-[(2-ethylhexyl)amino]-4-(methylamino)anthraquinone (EC No: 911-358-0) and its structurally and functionally similar read across substances,it can be concluded that the testchemical is unable to cause skin sensitization and considered as non-skin sensitizer. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
