A study was designed and conducted by Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB, 2017 to determine the dermal reaction profile of read across substance Tetra sodium 1-acetamido-2-hydroxy-3-(4-((4-sulphonatophenylazo)-7-sulphonato-1-naphthylazo))naphthalene-4,6-disulphonate[CAS:2519 -30 -4] in Sprague Dawley rats. The study was performed as per OECD Guidelines 402 and complying to the GLP procedures. Ten rats (5 male and 5 female) were used for conducting dermal irritation /corrosion study. The test item Tetra sodium 1-acetamido-2-hydroxy-3-(4-((4-sulphonatophenylazo)-7-sulphonato-1-naphthylazo))naphthalene-4,6-disulphonate 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. 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.  The overall irritation score of the substance was determined to be 0 and no erythema and edema (skin irritation) were found at the end of 14 days observation period after patch removal. Hence, it was concluded that Tetra sodium 1-acetamido-2-hydroxy-3-(4-((4-sulphonatophenylazo)-7-sulphonato-1-naphthylazo))naphthalene-4,6-disulphonate was Non-Irritating to the skin of Sprague Dawley rats under the experimental conditions tested.

 

The above results were further supported by another dermal irritation study conducted by Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB, 2017 on three New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with OECD 404 to assess the irritation parameter of read across chemical aluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex {CAS No: 15790-07-5} that supported the above mentioned results. The animals were prepared 24 hours prior to application of test product. The furs from the dorsal area of trunk of animals were removed with electric clippers exposing an area measuring approximately 6 cm2 of body surface area of animal. The care was taken such that abrasion penetrated the Stratum corneum only and not dermis. 500gm (0.5g) of test compound was applied on a small area (approximately 6 cm2) of intact skin site. Each site of application was covered with impervious dressing which was secured in position with adhesive tape. The intact skin site of application of each animal was observed for signs of erythema and oedema at 60 min., 24, 48 and 72 hours after application and the responses were scored according to Draize method. The Primary Irritation Index (PII) foraluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex {CAS No: 15790-07-5}after 14 days of observation was 0.0.Alsoaluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex {CAS No: 15790-07-5}Bdid not produce pain and any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the examination period of 14 days. Hence, under the test conditions, aluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex {CAS No: 15790-07-5}can be concluded to be not irritating to New Zealand White rabbit skin.

 

Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that chemical [μ-[[3,3’-[azoxybis[(2-hydroxy-p-phenylene)azo]]bis[4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonato]](8-)]]dicopper, tetrasodium salt (CAS No: 75173-68-1)    is unable to cause skin irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.

 

 

 

Eye irritation:

In different studies,the test chemical[μ-[[3,3’-[azoxybis[(2-hydroxy-p-phenylene)azo]]bis[4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonato]](8-)]]dicopper, tetrasodium salt (CAS No: 75173-68-1)     has been investigated for potential for ocular irritationto a greater or lesser extent. The studies are based on in vivo experiments in rabbits for target chemical[μ-[[3,3’-[azoxybis[(2-hydroxy-p-phenylene)azo]]bis[4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonato]](8-)]]dicopper, tetrasodium salt (CAS No: 75173-68-1)     andits structurally similar read across substance1,3 -Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 7-hydroxy-8-((4-sulfo-1-naphthalenyl)azo)-, trisodium salt (Acid Red 18) [2611-82-7] andfunctionally similar read across substancesaluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex (CAS No: 15790-07-5), Disodium 3-[(2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo]-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate [CAS: 4548-53-2].The predicted data using the OECD QSAR toolbox has also been compared with the experimental data and summarized as below;

 

In a prediction done by SSS (2017) using the OECD QSAR toolbox with log kow as the primary descriptor, the eye irritation potential was estimated for test chemical[μ-[[3,3’-[azoxybis[(2-hydroxy-p-phenylene)azo]]bis[4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonato]](8-)]]dicopper, tetrasodium salt (CAS No: 75173-68-1)   . The chemical [μ-[[3,3’-[azoxybis[(2-hydroxy-p-phenylene)azo]]bis[4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonato]](8-)]]dicopper, tetrasodium salt (CAS No: 75173-68-1)     is estimated to be not irritating to eye of New Zealand White rabbits.

 

An ocular irritation study was conducted by Sustainability Support Services (Europe) AB, 2017 on three New Zealand white rabbits in accordance with OECD 405 to assess the irritation parameter of read across chemical aluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex (CAS No: 15790-07-5). About 0.1g of the undiluted test chemical was instilled in the conjunctival sac of rabbits after gently pulling the lower lid away from the eyeball. The other eye which remained untreated served as a control. The ocular lesions were evaluated at 1, 24, 48 and 72 hours after the treatment. The grades of ocular reactions (conjunctiva, cornea and iris) were recorded at each observation. To determine the reversibility of the effect the animals were observed normally for 21 days. Any other lesions in the eye viz pannus, staining were observed and scored accordingly. Examination of reactions was facilitated by use of biomicroscope and hand slit lamp. Individual animal weights before and during the study was observed. The overall irritation index of aluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex (CAS No: 15790-07-5) was 0.0 after 72 hours. Also aluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex (CAS No: 15790-07-5) did not produce any clinical signs of toxicity throughout the examination period of 21 days. Hence, under the test conditions, aluminium, 6-hydroxy-5-[(4-sulfophenyl)azo]-2-naphthalenesulfonic acid complex (CAS No: 15790-07-5)can be concluded  to be not irritating to New Zealand White rabbit eyes.

 

These results were supported by the experimental study summarized in Scientific Committee on Cosmetology (seventh series), 1988; for the structurally similar read across substance, Disodium 3-[(2,4-dimethyl-5-sulphonatophenyl)azo]-4-hydroxynaphthalene-1-sulphonate [CAS: 4548-53-2]. Ponceau SX 5% in formulation was instilled into the eyes of rabbits and observed for signs of irritation (duration not mentioned). Ponceau SX 5% in formulation did not cause any irritation to rabbit eyes. Hence, Ponceau SX can be considered not irritating to rabbit eyes.

 

The above results were further supported by the experimental study summarized in THE SCIENTIFIC COMMITTEE ON COSMETIC PRODUCTS AND NON-FOOD PRODUCTS (SCCNFP), last updated 23 April 2004; for the structurally similar read across substance, 1,3 -Naphthalenedisulfonic acid, 7-hydroxy-8-((4-sulfo-1-naphthalenyl)azo)-, trisodium salt (Acid Red 18) [2611-82-7]. The ocular irritation was assessed by determining the Cytotoxicity in the neutral red uptake assay (NRU) on human keratinocytes with the modification that human keratinocytes of the HaCaT cell line were used. The treatment was performed in serum-free culture medium. Doses from 681 – 10000 μg/ml [1% in water] were applied together with appropriate controls. Two independent NRU assays with identical doses were performed. No NRU-50 value could be determined from the cytotoxicity curves as the viability was still 61% in the first assay and 70% in the second, so the NRU-50 was reported to be > 10000 μg/ml. Hence, Acid red 18 can be considered not irritating to Human Keratinocytes in the neutral red uptake assay.

 

 

Based on the available data for the target and read across substances and applying the weight of evidence approach, it can be concluded that chemical [μ-[[3,3’-[azoxybis[(2-hydroxy-p-phenylene)azo]]bis[4-hydroxynaphthalene-2,7-disulphonato]](8-)]]dicopper, tetrasodium salt (CAS No: 75173-68-1)    is unable to cause eye irritation and considered as not irritating. Comparing the above annotations with the criteria of CLP regulation, it can be classified under the category “Not Classified”.
