Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Cas Number:
27252-75-1
Molecular formula:
C10H22O2
IUPAC Name:
Octan-1-ol, ethoxylated

liquid
Specific details on test material used for the study:
STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: room temperature, in the dark

Method

Target gene:
his operon
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
cofactor-supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of male rats treated with phenobarbital and beta-naphthoflavone
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate with and without metabolic activation.
The maximum dose level of the test item was selected as the OECD 471 recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle/solvent used: DMSO
- Lot No. 184106
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The test item was immiscible in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/mL but was fully miscible in DMSO at the same concentration
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Remarks:
DMSO
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide
9-aminoacridine
N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
benzo(a)pyrene
other: 2-aminoanthracene (2AA)
Remarks:
-S9: ENNG (2 µg/plate) f. WP2uvrA, (3 µg/plate) for TA100 + (5 µg/plate) f. TA1535; 9AA (80 µg/plate) f. TA1537; 4NQO (0.2 µg/plate) f. TA98 / +S9: 2AA (1 µg/plate) f. TA100, (2µg/plate) f. TA1535 + TA1537, (10µg/plate) f. WP2uvrA; BP (5 µg/plate) f. TA98
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
Initial mutation test: Plate incorporation
Confirmatory mutation test: Pre-incubation

DURATION
- Pre-incubation period: 20 min at 37 ± 3 °C
- Exposure duration: 48 to 72 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates each in two independent experiments

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: observation of bacterial growth inhibition
Evaluation criteria:
A test item was considered mutagenic (positive) if the following criteria were met:
- a dose-related increase in mutant frequencies over the dose range tested
- a reproducible increase at one or more concentrations
- biological relevance against historical control ranges
- a fold increase greater than two times the concurrent vehicle control for TA100, TA98 and WP2uvrA or a three-fold increase for TA1535 and TA1537

A test item was considered non-mutagenic (negative) if the above mentioned criteria were not met.
Statistics:
Statistical significance was confirmed by using Dunnetts Regression Analysis (p < 0.05) for those values that indicate statistically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies compared to the concurrent solvent control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the tested conditions, the test compound was not mutagenic in any of the four tested S. typhimurium strains (TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537), nor in the E. coli strain WP2uvrA with and without metabolic activation up to 5000 µg/plate.
