Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (100-07-2). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant 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.

Additional information

Genetic mutation in vitro;

Prediction model based estimation and data from read across chemical have been reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (100-07-2). The studies are as mentioned below

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (100-07-2). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant 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.

Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, chromosomal aberration was predicted for 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (100-07-2) .The study assumed the use of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line with and without S9 metabolic activation system 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride was predicted to not induce chromosomal aberrations in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell line in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant 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.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by National Institute of Technology and Evaluation (Japan chemicals collaborative knowledge database , 2017)to determine the mutagenic nature of 4-Methoxybenzaldehyde(123-11-5). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance. Genetic toxicity in vitro study for p-Anisaldehyde was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential. For this purpose AMES test was performed according to Guidelines for Screening Mutagenicity Testing of Chemicals(Chemical Substances Control Law of Japan) and OECD Test Guideline 471 .The test material was exposed to Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvr A at different concentration in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. No mutagenic effects were observed. Hence p-Anisaldehyde was considered to be non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA by AMES test .Hence the test substance cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.

In a study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by D. McGinty et al.( Food and Chemical Toxicology, 2012) to determine the mutagenic nature of p-anisyl acetate; IUPAC Name; 4-methoxybenzyl acetate (104-21-2 ). The read across substances share high similarity in structure and log kow .Therefore, it is acceptable to derive information on mutation from the analogue substance.  p-Anisyl acetate in DMSO was not mutagenic in the Ames test at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate with and without metabolic activation. The strains of Salmonella typhimurium used in the plate incorporation and preincubation assays were TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535, and TA1537. Three plates per dose level were tested and solvent and positive controls were used in the studies. Hence the substance cannot be clssified as non mutagenic in vitro.

Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across substance and applying weight of evidence of 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (100-07-2)does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Thus based on the above annotation for the target chemical 4-methoxybenzoyl chloride (100-07-2)does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
