This study investigated the impact of dissolution behavior of different nanoforms on toxicity assessment, revealing differences in dissolution rates, half-times, and transformations under specific conditions. Numerical rules were proposed based on the observations to assess the similarity of NFs within a group.
Different nanoforms (NF) of the same substance each need to be registered under REACH, but similarities in physiological interaction -among them biodissolution- can justify read-across within a group of NFs, thereby reducing the need to perform animal studies. Here we focused on the endpoint of inhalation toxicity and explored how differences in physical parameters of 17 NFs of silica, and organic and inorganic pigments impact dissolution rates, half-times, and transformation under both pH 7.4 lung lining conditions and pH 4.5 lysosomal conditions. We benchmarked our observations against well-known TiO2, BaSO4 and ZnO nanomaterials, representing very slow, partial and quick dissolution respectively. By automated image evaluation, structural transformations were observed for dissolution rates in the order of 0.1 to 10 ng/cm(2)/h, but did not provide additional decision criteria on the similarity of NFs. Dissolution half-times spanned nearly five orders of magnitude, mostly dictated by the substance and simulant fluid, but modulated up to ten-fold by the subtle differences between NFs. Physiological time scales and benchmark materials help to frame the biologically relevant range, proposed as 1 h to 1 y. NFs of ZnO, Ag, SiO2, BaSO4 were in this range. We proposed numerical rules of pairwise similarity within a group, of which the worst case NF would be further assessed by in vivo inhalation studies. These rules divided the colloidal silica NFs into two separate candidate groups, one with Al-doping, one without. Shape or silane surface treatment were less important. The dissolution halftimes of many organic and inorganic pigment NFs were longer than the biologically relevant range, such that dissolution behavior is not an obstacle for their groupings.
