Additional information

Skin irritation:

In different studies, 2-aminotoluene-4-sulphonic acid has been investigated for potential for dermal irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with human data for target chemical 2-aminotoluene-4-sulphonic acid and its structurally similar read across substances 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (CAS No. 93-00-5)  and 2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine sulphate (CAS: 615-50-9). The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

The skin irritation potential of methyl(trioctyl)azanium chloride was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with log Pow as the primary descriptor. methyl(trioctyl)azanium chloride was estimated to be not irritating to the skin of  rabbits. Based on the estimated results, methyl(trioctyl)azanium chloride can be considered to be not irritating to skin and can be classified under the category “ Not classified” as per CLP regulation.

The above predicted data was further supported by experimental study conducted by Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB (Report No: SPL/122/095 , Date :10/08/17)

The study reported was designed and conducted to determine the dermal Irritation/corrosion potential of 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (CAS No. 93-00-5) in Sprague Dawley rats. This study was performed as per OECD guideline No. 402. Ten rats (5 male and 5 female) were used for conducting dermal irritation/ corrosion study.

The animals were kept in their cages for at least 5 days prior to administration for acclimatization to the laboratory condition and after acclimatization period, animals were randomly selected. Approximately 24 hours before application, the hair of each rat was closely clipped from the trunk (dorsal surface and sides from scapular to pelvic area) with an electric clipper, so as to expose at least 10% of the body surface area. The test item was moistened with distilled water. The test item was applied onto the exposed skin of the animal, taking care to spread the test item evenly over the entire area of approximately 10% of the total body surface area or as much of the area as can reasonably be covered. The test item was held in contact with the skin using a porous gauze dressing and non irritating tape around the animal to cover the exposure site for first 24 hours exposure period. Elizabethan collar was placed on each animal for first 24 hours after application of the test item. These collars prevent ingestion of test item. Following 24 hours of exposure, the wrapping was removed and the test site wiped free of excess test item. Distilled water was used to remove residual test item.

 

The test item 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (CAS No. 93-00-5) was applied to shorn skin of 5 male and 5 female animals at 2000 mg/kg body weight. Administration of the test item at 2000 mg/kg did not result in any skin reaction at the site of application during the study period of 14 days. Also, the erythema and edema score of rats was calculated as 0. Administration of the test item did not result in any signs of toxicity and mortality during the study period of 14 days. Animals exhibited normal body weight gain through the study period of 14 days. Gross pathological examination did not reveal any abnormalities attributable to the treatment.

 

Hence, it was concluded that 6-aminonaphthalene-2-sulphonic acid (CAS No. 93-00-5) was Non-Irritating to the skin of Sprague Dawley rats under the experimental conditions tested and Classified as “Category- Unclassified” as per CLP Classification.

The above experimental data was further supported by Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) for 2,5-DIAMINOTOLUENE SULFATE ,U.S National Library of Medicine 2017 and International Journal of Toxicology 29 ( supplement 2) 2010 for the structurally similar read across substance 2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine sulphate (615-50-9)

2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine sulphate was used as a test material to evaluate skin irritation potential on 10 Hartley albino guinea pigs.

The test material was applied on the flanks of test animal in the concentrations of0.1%, 0.2%, 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5% and 10% in petrolatum for 48 hrs under occlusion . No skin reaction were observed in any of the test animals in any of the test concentrations. Hence,2-methyl-p-phenylenediamine sulphate was considered as not skin irritant.

 Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach,2-aminotoluene-4-sulphonic acidcan be considered to be not irritating to skin.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

 

Eye irritation:

In different studies, 2-aminotoluene-4-sulphonic acid has been investigated for potential for ocular irritation to a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits along with human data for target chemical 2-aminotoluene-4-sulphonic acid and its structurally similar read across substances 2-methylbenzene-1,4-diamine (CAS No. 95-70-5)  and 3-Aminotoluene (CAS: 108-44-1) and 4-methyl benzenesulphonic acid (104-15-4). The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data.

The ocular irritation potential of methyl(trioctyl)azanium chloride was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox v3.3 with log Pow as the primary descriptor. methyl(trioctyl)azanium chloride was estimated to be irritating to the eye of  rabbits. Based on the estimated results, methyl(trioctyl)azanium chloride can be considered to be irritating to eye and can be classified under the category “ Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria” as per CLP regulation.

The above predicted data was further supported by experimental study summarized in Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB) for 2-METHYL-1,4-BENZENEDIAMINE U.S National Library of Medicine 2017 for the structurally similar read across substance2-methylbenzene-1,4-diamine (CAS No. 95-70-5)  

2,5-Diaminotoluene was used as a test material to evaluate ocular irritation potential on three rabbits. The test material was installed onto the eyes of rabbits in the concentration 0.1 mL of a 2.5% w/v in aqueous sodium sulphite (pH 7.0) for 10 sec. After 10 seconds the eye was rinsed with 50 mL of lukewarm water.eyes were evaluated and scored by Draize scoring system at 1 hr and then at Days 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7.

Mild conjuctival irritation was observed in 2 animals on day 1 and 3 respectively . No data regarding reversibility of the irritation was stated. Under the conditions of this test, toluene-2,5-diamine solution caused slight irritation to rabbit eyes.

The above experimental study was further supported by experimental report summarized in Hazardous substance data bank for 3-Aminotoluene U.S National Library of Medicine 2017 for the structurally similar read across substance3-Aminotoluene (CAS: 108-44-1).

3-Aminotoluene was used as a test material to evaluate eye irritation potential on rabbits.The test materialwhen subjected to rabbit eye in the concentration 24 mg for 24 hrs produced moderate irritating effects. Hence, 3-Aminotoluene was considered to be irritant to rabbit eye.

The above experimental study was further supported by experimental result summarized in Results from an Acute Dermal lrritation /Corrosion Study (OECD 404) in Rats Using Benzenesulfonic acid, 4-methyl US Environmental Protection Agency Office of Pollution Prevention and Toxics (OPPT) 2013 for structurally similar read across substance4-methyl benzenesulphonic acid (104-15-4).

4-methyl benzenesulphonic acid was used as a test material to evaluate eye irritation potential on nine rabbits.The test material of 65% was instilled on the rabbit eye for 5, 10 and 30 seconds 3 animals for each duration. The animals were observed for 14 days post-dosing. The overall irritation score was 83.6 out of a maximum of 110 for the 5 second exposure and 110 out of 110 for the 10 and 30 second exposures. The effects were not fully reversible within 14 days. Hence , 4-methyl benzenesulphonic acid was considered to be corrosive to rabbit eye.

 Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach,2-aminotoluene-4-sulphonic can be considered to be irritating to eye.Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Category 2 (irritating to eyes) based on GHS criteria”.
