Sodium 1,4-dicyclohexyl sulphonatosuccinate

Endpoint summary

Description of key information

Irritation studies for skin and eye were conducted according to Draize method in rabbits with a test item containing 80% active ingredient. Scoring according to Draize demonstrated  a primary irritation score of 2.3/4 for skin irritation and mean 24-72h scores for cornea, conjunctiva and iris of 17.6/80, 14/20 and 5/10, respectively, for eye irritation. Based on the scores, the substance was considered irritating for skin (CLP category 2) and, in combination with various eye findings which were not reversible, causing severe eye damage (CLP category 1).

Interpretation of results:

Category II

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

The report states: "Although this product produces some irritation of rabbit skin, it is not expected to produce significant skin irritation under conditions of ordinary industrial handling." However, based on the primary irritation score of 2.3 and erythema still present at 72 hours, the product is considered irritating.

Executive summary:

Six rabbits underwent a covered application to the clipped intact and abraded skin of 0.5 g Butanedioic acid, sulfo-, 1,4 -dicyclohexyl ester, sodium salt as an aqueous paste containing 80% active ingredient. Scoring according to Draize et al. (1944) demonstrated a primary irritation score of 2.3. It was concluded that the test item produces some irritation of rabbit skin. Although the design of the study was different from current OECD methods, irritation Category 2 according to CLP is concluded.

         At the readings made at 24, 48 and 72 hours, there was:

- discernible opacity or ulceration of the cornea other than a slight dulling of the normal luster.

- inflammation of the iris other than slight deepening of the folds, or slight circumcorneal injection.

- diffuse, deep-crimson red appearance of the conjunctivae, with individual vessels not easily discernible.

- obvious swelling of the conjunctivae, excluding cornea and iris, with partial eversion of the lids.

- no destruction or irreversible change of any tissue in 24 hours, or less.

 

 

Interpretation of results:

Category I

Remarks:

Migrated information Criteria used for interpretation of results: EU

Conclusions:

This test item is irritating to rabbit eyes. Therefore, precautions should be observed to avoid its introduction into or near the eyes.

Executive summary:

0.1 g Butanedioic acid, sulfo-, 1,4 -dicyclohexyl ester, sodium salt containing 80% active ingredient was introduced into the conjunctival sac of 6 rabbits. Scoring according to Draize et al. (1944) after 24, 48 and 72 hours demonstrated a mean cornea score of 17.6/80, a mean iris score of 5/10 and a mean conjuctivae score of 14/20. At the readings made at 24, 48 and 72 hours, there was discernible opacity or ulceration of the cornea other than a slight dulling of the normal luster,inflammation of the iris other than slight deepening of the folds, or slight circumcorneal injection, diffuse, deep-crimson red appearance of the conjunctivae, with individual vessels not easily discernible and obvious swelling of the conjunctivae, excluding cornea and iris, with partial eversion of the lids. It was concluded that the test item produces irritation of rabbit eyes. Therefore, precaution should be observed to avoid its introduction into or near the eyes.

Additional information

Skin irritation

In a key in vivo skin irritation study with the registered substance, 6 rabbits underwent a covered application to the clipped intact and abraded skin of 0.5 g test item containing 80% active ingredient (American Cyanamid Company, 1969). Scoring according to Draize method demonstrated a primary irritation score of 2.3. It was concluded that the test item produces irritation of rabbit skin.

Eye irritation

In a key in vivo eye irritation study with the registered substance, 0.1 g test item as received (80% active) was introduced into the conjunctival sac of 6 rabbits (American Cyanamid Company, 1969). Scoring according to Draize et al. (1944) after 24, 48 and 72 hours demonstrated a mean cornea score of 17.6/80, a mean iris score of 5/10 and a mean conjuctivae score of 14/20. At the readings made at 24, 48 and 72 hours, there was discernible opacity or ulceration of the cornea other than a slight dulling of the normal luster, inflammation of the iris other than slight deepening of the folds, or slight circumcorneal injection, diffuse, deep-crimson red appearance of the conjunctivae, with individual vessels not easily discernible and obvious swelling of the conjunctivae, excluding cornea and iris, with partial eversion of the lids. Therefore, precaution should be taken to avoid its introduction into or near the eyes.

Further information supporting the classification is provided in the read across justification for the Diester category, showing that all substances in the group (except 1 which was not irritating) were irritating for skin and all were group classified to cause severe eye damage (justification with data matrix separately attached in Section 13).

Effects on skin irritation/corrosion: moderately irritating

Effects on eye irritation: irritating

Justification for classification or non-classification

According to CLP regulation (No. 1272/2008 of 16 December 2008), the substance containing 80% ingredient is classified as Category 2, with signal word 'Warning' and hazard statement: H315 - Causes skin irritation. For the eye irritation, the test item containing 80% active ingredient is classified as Category 1, with signal word 'Danger' and hazard statement: H319 -Causes serious eye damage.
