Di-isodecyl phthalate (DIDP) is a high molecular weight phthalate and as a high production volume chemical, its ability to disrupt endocrine pathways is important to understand its potential hazard. Both DIDP (and its metabolites) were evaluated to determine the potential to perturb endocrine pathways through a weight of evidence (WoE) assessment in accordance with the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA)/European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) Endocrine Disruptor Guidance (2018). A literature review was performed of toxicological data for DIDP related to estrogen, androgen, thyroid, or steroidogenesis pathways. Literature searches returned 41 relevant articles from which data were extracted and assessed in conjunction with data from 105 high-throughput assays. Because some of the <em>in vitro</em> assays lack metabolic capabilities, an <em>in silico</em> assessment of estrogen (E), androgen (A), thyroid (T) or steroidogenesis (S) activity was conducted. Based on the available evidence for the T pathway, DIDP did not elicit adverse thyroid outcomes <em>in vivo</em>. When considering the T mechanistic data, there was evidence that DIDP induced the liver pregnane X receptor (PXR) and some indication that DIDP increased iodide uptake in the thyroid. As there were no studies evaluating thyroid hormone levels <em>in vivo</em>, a data gap was identified because per the ECHA/EFSA guidance, the lack of this information prevents drawing a conclusion on the T pathway. However, the E, A and S pathways were sufficiently assessed to conclude a limited or lack of E, A or S related apical outcomes in <em>in vivo</em> studies; there was also a lack of endocrine activity in <em>in vitro</em> or <em>in vivo</em> mechanistic studies. These results suggest that DIDP does not meet the ECHA/EFSA criteria for an endocrine disruptor, therefore DIDP is unlikely to disrupt the androgen pathway during development.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11236,"journal":{"name":"Current Research in Toxicology","volume":"8 ","pages":"Article 100221"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143429111","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, based on the Common Technical Document (CTD), PMDA review reports, and other documents of drugs with new active ingredients approved in Japan, we aimed to investigate the implementation status of DART studies by classifying the studies into FEED, EFD, and PPND types, and summarizing the reasons for not conducting the studies. This survey was conducted by the Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity Team of the Japan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (JPMA) to address issues related to DART studies conducted as non-clinical studies for drug development. Of the three DART studies, 35% of drugs received marketing application without conducting EFD studies in at least one species. Among the three study types, PPND studies were the second most frequently waivered, with 36% not conducted.
