Registration Dossier

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 Menthone (CAS no 1074 -95 -9; IUPAC name: 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system. Menthone (IUPAC name: 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone) failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not classify for gene mutation 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.

Conclusions:

Menthone failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimirium strain TA100 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Executive summary:

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 Menthone (CAS no 1074 -95 -9; IUPAC name: 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system. Menthone (IUPAC name: 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone) failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not classify for gene mutation 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.

Endpoint conclusion:

no adverse effect observed (negative)

Endpoint conclusion:

no study available

Gene mutation in vitro:

Prediction model based estimation and data from two read across have been summarized to determine the mutagenic nature of Menthone:

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 Menthone (CAS no 1074 -95 -9; IUPAC name: 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone).

Menthone (IUPAC name: 2-isopropyl-5-methylcyclohexanone) failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not classify for gene mutation in vitro.

In a study for 90% structurally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Florin et al (Toxicology, 1980) to determine the mutagenic nature of Cyclohexanone (RA CAS no 2403 -37 -9; IUPAC name: 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexanone; EC name: 2,2,6-trimethylcyclohexan-1-one). The material was dissolved in dimethysulphoxide and applied at a concentration of 3 µmole/plate in the spot test performed. Cyclohexanone did not induce reversion of mutant strains and henceis not mutagenic in the bacterium Salmonella typhimurium LT-2 strains TA 98, TA 100 with and without S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as gene mutant in vitro.

Galloway et al ( Environmental and Molecular Mutagenesis, 1987) performed another in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test to determine the mutagenic nature of 1, 8 Cineol (Eucalyptol; RA CAS no 470 -82 -6; IUPAC name:1,3,3-trimethyl-2-oxabicyclo[2.2.2]octane; Structurally and functionally similar). The chemical was studied at a dose level of 479- 663µg/mL (in the absence of S9) and 630- 810µg/mL(in the presence of S9) using Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-W-B1). Cells were exposed to the test chemical for 2 hr in the presence of S9 or for 20hrs without S9. 100 cells were scored from each of the three highest dose groups having sufficient metaphases for analysis.All types of aberrations were recorded separately, but for data analysis they were grouped into categories of “simple” (breaks and terminal deletions), “complex” (exchanges and rearrangements), “other” (includes pulverized chromosomes), and “total”. Gaps and endo-reduplications were recorded but were not included in the totals. Polyploid cells were not scored but used metaphases with 19-23 chromosomes (the modal number being 21). Based on the results noted, thetest compound1, 8 Cineol (Eucalyptol) failed to induce chromosome aberrations in the Chinese hamster ovary cells (CHO-W-B1) in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the weight of evidence data summarized, Menthone (cas NO 1074 -95 -9) is not likely to exhibit genetic toxicity. Thus, the chemical is not classified as a genetic toxicant as per as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
