A review.5-Methylfurfural was evaluated for genotoxicity, repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, local respiratory toxicity, photoirritation/photoallergenicity, skin sensitization, and environmental safety.Data from read-across analog furfural (CAS # 98-01-1) show that 5-methylfurfural is not expected to be genotoxic, provide a calculated Margin of Exposure (MOE) > 100 for the repeated dose toxicity, reproductive toxicity, and local respiratory toxicity endpoints, and that there are no safety concerns for 5-methylfurfural for skin sensitization under the current declared levels of use.The photoirritation endpoint was evaluated based on target data; 5-methylfurfural does not present a concern for photoirritation under the current declared levels of use.5-Methylfurfural was not evaluated for photoallergenicity due to a lack of suitable data and validated in vitro tests.To address this data gap, RIFM is sponsoring an in vitro photoallergy research program to evaluate the photoallergy potential of 5-methylfurfural.The environmental endpoints were evaluated.
