HAZARD
CHARACTERIZATION
Pursuant
to
PR
Notice
88­
2,
grouping
of
quaternary
ammonium
compounds
was
allowed,
based
on
the
numerous
chemical
structures
that
represent
these
types
of
chemicals.
Grouping
was
allowed
into
4
broad
categories,
based
on
chemical
structure:
Group
I
quaternary
ammonium
compounds
(
alkyl
or
hydroxy
alkyl
substituted
compounds);
Group
II
non­
halogenated
benzyl
substituted
quaternary
ammonium
compounds
(
ADBAC
as
representative);
Group
III
di­
and
trichlorobenzyl
substituted
quaternary
ammonium
compounds;
and
Group
IV,
quaternary
ammonium
compounds
with
unusual
substituents.
ADBAC,
or
alkyl
dimethyl
benzyl
ammonium
chloride,
is,
as
stated
above,
a
member
of
the
Group
II
class
of
quaternary
ammonium
compounds.
Hazard
data
generated
for
ADBAC
is
representative
of
the
hazard
associated
with
this
class
of
quaternary
ammonium
chemicals.

In
an
acute
oral
toxicity
study
(
MRID
45109204),
the
acute
oral
LD50
of
ADBAC
(
82.26%
a.
i.)
was
determined
to
be
304.5
mg/
kg
(
both
sexes
combined)
and
was
assigned
Toxicity
Category
II.
In
an
acute
dermal
toxicity
study
(
MRID
45109202),
the
acute
dermal
LD50
of
ADBAC
(
82.26%
a.
i.)
was
determined
to
be
930
mg/
kg
(
both
sexes
combined)
and
was
assigned
Toxicity
Category
II.
In
an
acute
inhalation
toxicity
study
(
MRID
44885201),
the
acute
LC50
of
ADBAC
(
82.26%
a.
i.)
was
determined
to
be
0.054
<
LC50
<
0.51
mg/
L
and
was
assigned
a
Toxicity
Category
II.
The
primary
eye
irritation
study
was
waived
and
assigned
a
Toxcity
Category
I
for
technical
grade
ADBAC
(
80%
a.
i).
For
primary
dermal
irritation
(
MRID
45109201),
ADBAC
(
82.26%
a.
i.)
was
corrosive
to
rabbits
(
Toxicity
Category
I).
In
a
dermal
sensitization
study
(
MRID
45109203),
ADBAC
(
82.26%
a.
i.)
was
not
a
sensitizer
to
guinea
pigs.
In
a
photoallergy
(
light)
sensitization
study
(
MRID
40958501
and
MRID
44825002),
ADBAC
(
80%
a.
i.)
was
not
a
photosensitizer.

In
a
subchronic
oral
toxicity
study
in
rats
(
MRID
40746601),
ADBAC
was
found
to
have
a
low
order
of
toxicity,
in
that
manifestations
of
toxicity
were
non­
specific
(
decreased
body
weight
gain,
food
consumption),
and
occurred
at
relatively
high
doses
(
LOAEL
of
62
mg/
kg/
day
in
males,
308
mg/
kg/
day
in
females).
This
result
was
also
observed
in
chronic
toxicity
studies
in
rats
and
mice
(
MRIDs
41947501
and
41765201),
where
effects
were
also
non
­
specific
in
nature
(
decreased
body
weight
gain
and
food
consumption),
and
occurred
at
relatively
high
doses.
In
a
21­
day
dermal
toxicity
study
in
guinea
pigs
(
MRID
41105801),
no
significant
systemic
effects
were
observed
using
a
chemical
mixture
of
4%
ADBAC/
6%
DDAC,
but
denuding
of
the
epidermal
layer
was
observed
at
the
highest
tested,
1000
mg/
kg/
day.
In
a
90­
day
dermal
toxicity
study
in
rats
(
MRID
41499601)
using
technical
grade
ADBAC
,
dermal
applications
of
ADBAC
(
81.09%
a.
i.)
to
rats
did
not
elicit
systemic
or
dermal
toxicity
up
to
the
highest
dose
tested,
20
mg/
kg/
day,
before
dermal
irritation
became
significant.

ADBAC
has
been
examined
for
effects
on
development
of
the
mammalian
fetus
and
effects
on
reproductive
function.
In
developmental
studies
with
rats
(
range­
finding
MRID
42645101
and
main
study
MRID
42351501)
and
rabbits
(
range­
finding
MRID
42734401
and
main
study
MRID
42392801),
developing
fetuses
showed
no
increased
sensitivity
to
the
toxicity
of
ADBAC
in
relation
to
adult
animals.
In
a
2­
generation
reproductive
toxicity
study
(
MRID
41385001),
effects
on
rat
pups
were
observed
in
the
absence
of
maternal
toxicity,
raising
some
concern
for
the
effects
Page

of
28
of
ADBAC
on
reproductive
function.
However,
the
effects
observed
were
non­
specific
(
decreased
pup
body
weight
and
weight
gain
during
lactation),
and
there
were
no
effects
of
ADBAC
on
reproductive
indices.

In
a
chronic
toxicity
study
in
dogs
(
MRID
43221101),
groups
of
4
male
and
female
beagle
dogs
per
group
received
either
0,
120,
400,
or
1200
ppm
(
0,
3.79,
13.1,
or
33.8
mg/
kg/
day
in
males
and
0,
3.67,
14.6,
or
38.6
mg/
kg/
day
in
females)
alkyl
dimethyl
benzyl
ammonium
chloride
[
ADBAC,
80%
a.
i.]
as
a
direct
dietary
admix
for
one
year.
Systemic
toxicity
was
observed
at
13.1
mg/
kg/
day
in
males
and
14.6
mg/
kg/
day
in
females
as
reduced
body
weight
gain
(
approximately
10%
reduction)
after
52
weeks
of
exposure.
Food
consumption
was
decreased
in
the
1200
ppm
males
and
females
for
the
entire
study
period
(
approximately
15%
reduction
in
males
and
5%
reduction
in
females).
Based
on
the
data
in
this
study,
the
Systemic
Toxicity
NOAEL
was
120
ppm
(
3.79
mg/
kg/
day
in
males,
3.67
mg/
kg/
day
in
females)
and
the
LOAEL
was
400
ppm
(
13.1
mg/
kg/
day
in
males,
14.6
mg/
kg/
day
in
females)
based
on
reduced
body
weight
gain.

ADBAC
has
been
tested
for
carcinogenicity
in
long
term
studies
with
both
rats
(
MRID
41947501)
and
mice
(
MRID
41765201).
In
both
studies,
tested
to
adequate
dose
levels,
ADBAC
was
negative
for
induction
of
tumors
in
both
species.
This
result
is
supported
by
results
of
testing
in
a
battery
of
mutagenicity
studies,
including
an
HGPRT/
CHO
for
ward
mutation
assay
(
MRID
41012701),
an
in
vivo
bone
marrow
chromosome
aberration
assay
(
MRID
40311101,
supplement
MRID
43037701),
and
an
unscheduled
DNA
synthesis
(
UDS)
assay
(
MRIDs
42290801
and
42290802),
which
show
ADBAC
to
be
negative
for
mutagenic
effects.

The
metabolism
of
ADBAC
was
investigated
in
MRID
41087701.
The
majority
of
administered
radioactive
ADBAC
is
eliminated
in
feces
from
oral
administration.
Intravenous
administration
also
shows
elimination
of
a
significant
proportion
of
ADBAC
in
feces,
indicating
elimination
through
the
bile.
Tissue
retention
of
orally
administered
radioactivity
is
negligible.

Results
of
hematology
and
clinical

measurements
indicated
a
slight
elevation
of
basophils
and
eosinophils
as
well
as
a
slight
elevation
of
SGPT
and
SGOT
but
statistics
were
not
performed
on
these
data.
Histologically,
the
skin
irritation
was
described
as
a
denuded
non­
vascularized
epidermal
layer
at
the
application
site.
Although
this
study
was
identified
with
several
deficiencies
(

from
the
1/

Hurley,

D.),
the
data
are
useful
for
determining
a
level
of

for
dermal
irritation
and
systemic
effects
after
short­
term
exposure
to
ADBAC.
In
this
case,
the
500
mg/
kg
dose
level
produced
no
significant
dermal
or
systemic
effects,
and
is
considered
a
NOAEL
for
the
study
for
dermal
irritation
and
systemic
effects.

Toxicity
 
Rat
In
a
90­
day
dermal
toxicity
study
(
MRID
41499601),
ADBAC
(
81.09%
a.
i.)
was
applied
at
dose
levels
of
0,
2,
6,
or
20
mg/
kg/
day
to
the
clipped
backs
of
Sprague­
Dawley
rats
for
6­
8
hours
per
day,
5
days
per
week,
for
13
weeks.
Although
higher
doses
were
tested
in
a
preliminary
rangefinding
study
(
6,
20,
60,
120,
and
200
mg/
kg/
day),
the
high
dose
selected
for
the
main
study
(
20
mg/
kg/
day)
was
chosen
on
the
basis
that
higher
concentrations
produced
skin
irritation
that
was
considered
greater
than
slight.

A
significant
and
dose­
related
decrease
in
reticulocyte
count
was
observed
in
the
6­
and
20­
mg/
kg/
day
females.
Decreases
in
reticulocyte
count
are
normally
associated
with
regenerative
responses
to
anemia.
However,
no
evidence
of
anemia
was
seen
in
other
hematological
parameters.
Furthermore,
the
decreased
levels
in
treated
females
were
similar
to
the
levels
observed
in
control
males.
Thus,
the
decreasing
reticulocyte
count
was
most
likely
not
a
biologically
significant
finding.
A
significant
increase
in
hyperkeratosis
was
observed
in
treated
skin
of
high
dose
females,
but
this
lesion
was
also
observed
in
increased
incidence
in
male
rats
at
all
doses
including
controls.

The
NOAEL
for
dermal
effects
and
the
NOAEL
for
systemic
effects
were
20
mg/
kg/
day.

6
through
15,
inclusive.
Doses
 
200
mg/

necropsy
findings
revealed
a
distended

change
in
color
of
the
stomach,
and
distended
intestines
filled
with
mucoid
fluid.
These
dams
also
exhibited
clinical

including
loose
feces,
perioral
wetness
and
perioral
encrustation,
ataxia,
hypoactivity,
urogenital

wetness,
and
audible
respiration.
Maternal
toxicity
observed
at
100
mg/
kg/

of
perioral
wetness.
The
maternal
NOAEL
and
LOAEL
are
50
and
100
mg/

1000,
or
2000
ppm
over
two
generations.
After
10
weeks
of
dietary
treatment,
F0
parental
animals
were
mated.
F1
parental
animals
were
mated
after
15
weeks
of
dietary
treatment.
Mean
compound
consumption
was
20.7,
68.2,
and
134.7
mg/

for
F0
males,
and
25.5,
81.3,
and

level,
and
there
were
no
reported
signs
of
clinical

Although
some
decrease
in
body
weight
was
observed
in
both
generations
at
the
top
dose,
the
significant
variability
observed
did
not
qualify
this
as
a
treatment­

In
pups
of
both
generations,
mean
body
weights
at
the
top

were
significantly
reduced
during
lactation
and
post­
weaning
periods.
There
were
no
adverse
effects
noted
on
gestational
length,
mating,
fertility,
or
other
gestational
indices.

Based
on
the
results
of
this

Neurotoxicity
Adequacy
of
database
for
Neurotoxicity:
There
are
no
studies
specifically
examining
the
Neurotoxicity
of
ADBAC.
Based
on
the
lack
of
evidence
for
Neurotoxicity
of
ADBAC,
specific
neurotoxicity
studies
are
not
required
for
ADBAC
at
this
time.

4.9
Metabolism
and
Pharmacokinetics
Adequacy
of
database
for
Metabolism
and
Pharmacokinetics:
Disposition
of
ADBAC
was
examined
in
male
and
female
Sprague­
Dawley
rats
(
MRID
40990701,
supplemental
MRIDs
41087701
and
44783401)
following
a
10
mg/
kg
single
dose
by
the
oral
or
intravenous
route,
following
exposure
to
100
ppm
ADBAC
for
14
days
in
the
diet,
or
after
a
single
oral
dose
of
50
mg/
kg.
Ring­
labeled
test
material
was
used.
Following
oral
administration,
from
5­
8%
of
the
administered
dose
was
eliminated
in
urine
and
90­
98%
in
feces.
No
apparent
differences
in
disposition
were
noted
between
sexes.
Following
intravenous
administration,
males
eliminated
31%
of
the
dose
in
urine
and
44%
in
feces,
while
females
eliminated
21%
in
urine
and
55%
in
feces
following
intravenous
administration.
After
oral
administration,
from
0.03­
0.58%
of
the
administered
dose
was
accounted
for
in
tissues.
After
intravenous
administration,
tissue
residues
accounted
for
33­
36%
of
the
dose
and
were
observed
mainly
in
the
carcass.
The
results
of
this
study
indicate
that
a
majority
of
an
administered
dose
of
ADBAC
is
eliminated
in
feces
and
involves
biliary
excretion.

to
groups
of
male
and
female
Sprague­
Dawley
rats
(
50/
sex/
dose)
at
dose
levels
of
0,
300,
1000,
and
2000
ppm
(
nominal

level
during
weeks
1­
26
of
the
study
and
then
sporadically
thereafter.
Body
weights
of
high

6.0
FQPA
Considerations
6.1
Developmental
Toxicity
Study
Conclusions
In
both
the
developmental
toxicity
study
in
the
rat
and
rabbit,
there
was
no
evidence
of
increased
susceptibility
to
offspring
in
these
studies.

6.2
Reproductive
Toxicity
Study
Conclusions
There
was
no
evidence
of
a
primary
reproductive
toxicity
effect
of
ADBAC
based
on
the
available
data.

6.3
Pre­
and/
or
Postnatal
Toxicity
A.
Determination
of
Susceptibility
The
HIARC
determined
from
the
available
data
that
there
was
no
evidence
for
increased
susceptibility
of
offspring
to
the
toxic
effects
of
ADBAC.

B.
Proposed
Hazard­
based
Special
FQPA
Safety
Factor(
s):

The
HIARC
recommended
that
the
FQPA
safety
factor
be
reduced
to
1x
for
ADBAC,
based
upon
the
existence
of
a
complete
developmental
and
reproductive
toxicity
database
and
the
lack
of
evidence
for
increased
susceptibility
in
these
data.

6.4
Recommendation
for
a
Developmental
Neurotoxicity
Study
There
are
no
studies
specifically
examining
neurotoxicity
of
ADBAC.
However,
there
was
no
evidence
of
neurotoxicity
from
the
available
studies
on
ADBAC.
The
HIARC
expressed
concern
that
some
quaternary
ammonium
compounds
could
have
the
potential
for
neurotoxicity,
depending
upon
the
length
of
the
alkyl
chains.
However,
for
ADBAC,
neurotoxicity
studies
will
not
be
required
at
this
time.

A
developmental
neurotoxicity
study
is
not
recommended,
based
on
the
lack
of
evidence
for
Page
15
of
28
neurotoxicity
of
ADBAC
in
the
available
database.
