Description of key information
Chronic oral toxicity study was published by Environmental Protection Agency (National Technical Reports Library, 1992) to find the oral toxic nature of disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate /(5858-81-1) Other name: D&C Red 6 upon repeated exposure in mice. In a carcinogenicity study, CD male and female mice were exposed to disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate in the concentration 0 ,0, 75, 1500 and 7500 mg/kg bw/day oral feed. Slight compound related increase in mortality was observed in male mice during last 6 months of study at 7500 mg/kg bw. Hair and exposed skin area appeared red, a reddish brown ventral abdomen and/or anogenital region was observed reddish brown in colour at 1500 and 7500 mg/kg bw and anogenital region was observed orange in colored at 75 mg/kg bw. No effect on body weight, food consumption, Organ weight and hematological value of treated mice was observed as compare to control. Similarly, No effect on gross pathology of treated male and female mice was observed as compared to control. Revealed degenerative renal changes were observed in 7500 mg/kg bw treated male mice but it was not compound related .But statically significant lung adenomas were observed in the dose level of 7500 mg/kg bw/day of treated group compare to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1500 mg/kg/day for CD male and female mice, when they were exposed to disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate by oral feed.

Justification for classification or non-classification
Thus based on above annotation for the target chemical disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate /(5858-81-1) Other name: D&C Red 6 and Lithol rubine B(R201) is insufficient to classify the chemical as cacinogen . Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a carcinogen upon repeated exposure by oral route. Further testing is required to clearly judge the test chemical as carcinogen upon repeated exposure.
Additional information
Carcinogenicity ;oral
Various experimental studies were reviewed to determine the carcinogenic nature of disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate /(5858-81-1) Other name: D&C Red 6 and Lithol rubine B(R201)upon repeated exposure by oral route. The studies are as mentioned below:
Chronic oral toxicity study was published by Environmental Protection Agency (National Technical Reports Library, 1992) to find the oral toxic nature of disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate /(5858-81-1) Other name: D&C Red 6 upon repeated exposure in mice. In a carcinogenicity study, CD male and female mice were exposed to disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate in the concentration 0 ,0, 75, 1500 and 7500 mg/kg bw/day oral feed. Slight compound related increase in mortality was observed in male mice during last 6 months of study at 7500 mg/kg bw. Hair and exposed skin area appeared red, a reddish brown ventral abdomen and/or anogenital region was observed reddish brown in colour at 1500 and 7500 mg/kg bw and anogenital region was observed orange in colored at 75 mg/kg bw. No effect on body weight, food consumption, Organ weight and hematological value of treated mice was observed as compare to control. Similarly, No effect on gross pathology of treated male and female mice was observed as compared to control. Revealed degenerative renal changes were observed in 7500 mg/kg bw treated male mice but it was not compound related .But statically significant lung adenomas were observed in the dose level of 7500 mg/kg bw/day of treated group compare to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1500 mg/kg/day for CD male and female mice, when they were exposed to disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate by oral feed.
Supported by another experimental study which was published by Environmental Protection Agency (National Technical Reports Library, 1992) to find the oral toxic nature of disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate /(5858-81-1) Other name: D&C Red 6 upon repeated exposure in rat . In a carcinogenicitystudy,Charies river CD®male and femalerat were exposedtodisodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate in the concentration 0, 0, 25, 150 and 1000 mg/kg/day orally in feed. In the parental generation,3 rats were died at 150 mg/kg bw, one rat died at 1000 mg/kg bw and 3 rats were died in in control. No effect onbody weight andfood consumption,ophthalmoscopic examination, haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, virology and microbiologyof treated male and female rats was observed as comparable to control.Similarly, No effect on reproductive performance such asFertilityindex, gestation index and effect on parturition and lactation were observed as compared to control. No effect onorgan weight and gross pathology were observed as compared to control in P and F1 generation. In addition, anacceleration of testicular changes (degeneration of the testicular tubules) was observed in treated male rat, a common effect in ageing rats. However, at the termination of the study, the increased incidence was not of statistical significance. There were no compound related lesions were observed in F0 generation at all dose of 0, 25, 150, or 1000 mg/kg bw/day compare to control. Therefore, NOAEL was considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for F0 generation and F1 geneartion when Charies river CD®male and female rat were exposed to disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate orally in feed. The test substance was not considered to be carcinogenic for this species as per the study.
T he data available for the target chemical disodium 4-[(E)-2-(4-methyl-2-sulfophenyl)diazen-1-yl]-3-oxidonaphthalene-2-carboxylate /(5858-81-1) Other name: D&C Red 6 and Lithol rubine B(R201) is insufficient to classify the chemical as cacinogen . Also the NOAEL value range can be close to1500mg/kg bw/day. Based on the observations made, D&C Red 6 does not exhibit carcinogenicity upon repeated exposure by oral route. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a carcinogen upon repeated exposure by oral route. Further testing is required to clearly judge the test chemical as carcinogen upon repeated exposure.
