    Abstract Di-(2-propylheptyl) phthalate (DPHP) is a high molecular weight polyvinyl chloride plasticizer. Since increasing production volume and broad utility may result in human exposure, an oral reference dose (RfD) was derived from laboratory animal data due to the lack of human data. In addition to liver and kidney, target organs were the thyroid, pituitary and adrenal glands in rats, recognizing that reproductive performance was not altered in two successive generations of DPHP-exposed rats. DPHP caused a reduction in pup and maternal body weights but not developmental or testicular effects typical of "phthalate syndrome." DPHP was not genotoxic. Due to the lack of carcinogenicity data, there is inadequate information to assess carcinogenic potential. The RfD of 0.1mg/kg-day was derived from the human equivalent BMDL10 of 10mg/kg-day for thyroid hypertrophy/hyperplasia in male F1 adults from the two-generation study. While in utero exposure did not alter sensitivity to thyroid lesions compared to subchronic exposures beginning at 6weeks of age, F1 adult males were the longest-term exposed population. The total uncertainty factor of 100x was comprised of intraspecies (10x), study duration (3x), and database (3x) factors but not an interspecies factor since rodents are more sensitive than humans to thyroid gland effects.

    Abstract 1,2-Cyclohexanedicarboxylic acid, 1,2-diisononylester (DINCH), a polyvinyl chloride plasticizer, has food, beverage, and medical device applications that may result in general population exposure. Although no apparent toxicity information in humans was identified, there is a substantial data set in lab animals to serve as the basis of hazard identification for DINCH. Target tissues associated with repeated dietary DINCH exposure in lab animals included liver, kidney, and thyroid and mammary glands. In contrast to some phthalate ester plasticizers, DINCH did not show evidence of hepatic peroxisomal proliferation, testicular toxicity, or liver tumors in rats. Liver and thyroid effects associated with DINCH exposure were attributed to compensatory thyroid stimulation secondary to prolonged metabolic enzyme induction. The toxicological significance of mammary fibroadenomas in female rats is unclear, given that this common benign and spontaneously occurring tumor type is unique to rats. The weight of evidence suggests DINCH is not genotoxic and the proposed mode of action (MOA) for thyroid gland lesions was considered to have a threshold. No adverse reproductive effects were seen in a two-generation study. An oral reference dose (RfD) of 0.7 mg/kg-d was derived from a human equivalent BMDL₁₀ of 21 mg/kg-d for thyroid hypertrophy/hyperplasia seen in adult F₁ rats also exposed in utero. The total uncertainty factor of 30x was comprised of intraspecies (10×) and database (3×) factors. An interspecies extrapolation factor was not applied since rodents are more sensitive than humans with respect to the proposed indirect MOA for thyroid gland lesions.
