Skin Irritation:
(Rabbits) Not an irritant

Eye Irritation:
(Rabbits) Not an irritant

Sensitization:
(Humans): In 4 separate repeat insult patch tests, a total of 4 of 158 subjects exhibited reactions indicative of sensitization. (Guinea Pigs): Mild sensitization. In this optimization test, six intradermal injections were used for the induction and an additional intradermal injection was used for the challange. Results showed 4/20 positive animals with Irganox 1076 and 1/20 animals from the control group demonstrating a positive reaction.

Phototoxicity:
(Humans) Not a photo-irritant

Mutagenicity:

Ames test: Non-mutagenic Dominant lethal test (mice): No evidence of a dominant lethal effect. Nucleus anamaly test: Nonmutagenic Chromosome studies on somatic cells: Non-mutagenic

Teratogenicity/Reproductive Toxicity:
2-Generation study (Rats): The test substance was fed in the diet at concentrations of 0, 500, 1,500 and 5,000 ppm. Treatment of the F0 males and females began when they were six weeks of age, and continued until all Fl litters had been weaned. Direct treatment of the Fl males and females began when they were 4 weeks of age, and continued until all F2 litters had been weaned. Findings at 5,000 ppm among adults of both generations (F0 and F1) that appeared to be treatment-related were as follows: a. Slight reductions in food consumption, weekly weight gain and weight gain of females during pregnancy. b. Statistically significant increases in liver weight and reduction in spleen weight. Histological examination of livers from Fl adult animals showed minimal centrilobular hepatocyte enlargement. c. In the F0 generation, initial litter size was reduced. Post-partum pup loss was increased and pup weight gain reduced. d. In the F1 generation initial litter size was again reduced. There was no pup loss. Pup-weight gain was slightly lower than among control animals despite the smaller litter size and hence reduced intra-litter competition. Organ weight analyses of selected Fl and F2 weanlings showed significantly increased liver weights and reduced spleen weights. Histological examination of these tissues from F2 weanlings showed no treatment-related changes. Mating performance, pregnancy rate and the duration of gestation at all three dietary concentrations were unaffected by treatment. The overall NOEL is below 500 ppm due to the increased liver weight and reductions in spleen weight reported among selected Fl and F2 weanlings of the intermediate and low dose group.

Segment II study (Rats): Test substance was administered by gavage to pregnant rats from day 6 to 15 of gestation, inclusive. The concentrations were 0, 150, 500 and 1,000 mg/kg. Bodyweight gain was slightly depressed in the 500 and 1,000 mg/kg dose levels and reduced feed intake was registered in a dose related fashion during the period of administration of the test substance. Retardation of physiological growth of the fetuses was recorded. No teratogenic effects were observed under the conditions of the experiment. The 150 mg/kg dose was considered to be the no observable effect level (NOEL).

Segment II study (Mice): Test substance was administered by gavage to pregnant mice from day 6 to 15 of gestation, inclusive. The concentrations were 150, 500 and 1,000 mg/kg. The average bodyweight gain as well as feed intake were comparable for all groups. There was no evidence of an adverse effect on the embryonic or fetal development in the mouse, except that, in the high-dose group, the average weight of the fetuses was found to be slightly but significantly increased when compared with the control. No teratogenic effects were observed under the conditions of the experiment. The NOEL was considered to be 500 mg/kg.

Subchronic Toxicity: (Dogs): In a 3-month toxicity study, Beagle dogs were fed a diet containing 0, 1,000, 3,000 and 10,000 ppm of the test substance. No clinical symptoms or signs of systemic toxicity were observed and no deaths occurred during the experiment. Ophthalmic inspection, hearing test, food consumption, bodyweight gain, mean food conversion, hematology, blood chemistry, gross pathology and histopathology revealed no treatment related effects. The occasionally elevated concentrations of serum bilirubin levels were not accompanied by any histopathological changes in the liver. Organ weights and ratios for the treated dogs were comparable to those of the control animals with the exception of a slightly increased incidence of higher liver weights and ratios in the dogs of the 3,000 and 10,000 ppm groups. The NOEL was concluded to be 1,000 ppm in the diet, corresponding to 31.5 - 34.5 mg/kg/day.

(Rats): The test substance was administered to rats as an aerosol (dust) for 6 hours/day, 5 days/week for 3 weeks. The animals were exposed to mean gravimetric concentrations of 23 and 543 mg/m3. There were no reactions to treatment for any of the parameters investigated. The NOEL is greater than 543 mg/m3. air for male and female rats.

Chronic Toxicity/Carcinogenicity:

(Mice): Mice were administered 0, 5, 50, 500 ppm of the test substance in the feed, corresponding to a mean daily intake of about 56 mg/kg/day for the highest dose group for 24 months. The only difference seen was reduced survival time for the high dose animals. There was no evidence of an increased tumor incidence. The NOEL was 50 ppm.

(Rats): In a 104 week/feeding study, rats were treated with the test substance in the diet at levels of 0, 500, 1,500, 5,000 ppm. Reaction to treatment at the various dietary levels was as follows: At 5,000 ppm: a. A higher survival rate among females (Mindfully note: which means a lower survival rate for males). b. An inferior bodyweight gain and reduced food intake associated with a minor impairment in the efficiency of food utilization among females. c. Increased liver and thyroid weights in males and females and decreased adrenal weights in females. At 1,500 ppm: a. A reduction in food intake among male rats between weeks 53 and 80 and among females during the first 80 weeks of treatment. b. Decreased adrenal weight in females. At 500 ppm: A reduction in food intake among male and female rats between weeks 53 and 80. There was no evidence of an increased tumor incidence. The NOEL was concluded to be 500 ppm.

Absorption/Distribution/Excretion Metabolism

10 mg/kg of radiolabeled test substance was administered by gavage to 4 albino rats after a 12-hour fast (water permitted). The animals were then placed in metabolism cages for 168 hours and urine and feces samples were collected. Within 0-48 hours after administration about 73%n of the radioactivity was eliminated from the body. Afterwards, elimination proceeded slowly and was not fully completed at 168 hours. At that time 96% of the radioactivity was recovered (35% in the urine, 61% in the feces).

Other Toxicity Data:
4-week oral toxicity study (Young rats): Fifty young (4 week old) rats were treated by gavage with single daily doses of 0, 5, 30, 100 and 300 mg/kg of the test substance for 28 days. The liver was the target organ as indicated by a dose-dependent organ weight increase and by histopathology: at 300 mg/kg a minimal centrilobular hepatocytic hypertrophy was observed. A small number of high dose animals showed clinical chemistry changes, including elevated transaminase activities and cholesterol levels compared to control animals. The NOEL was considered to be 30 mg/kg/day.
