Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Details on maternal toxic effects:
Details on maternal toxic effects:Treatment of pregnant females during day 6 to day 16 ofgestation inclusive, did not reveal any signs of maternaltoxocity.All mated females (except one) were pregnant and nodifferences were seen in the number of corpora lutea, thenumber of implantations, the pre- and post-implantation lossand the incidence of embryonic/foetal deaths.

Results (fetuses)

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:Effects on fetus - Gross:No foetal deaths occurred among treated litters. Sex ratios were normal in litters of dams treated with substance.The total foetal weights and foetal weights of the sexes separately revealed no test substance-related changes.
Effects on fetus -
Soft tissue: There were no external findings that were concidered to have arisen as a result of treatment of dams with the substance. There were no morphological changes detected at visceral examination of the foetuses.
Skeletal: Skeletal examinations revealed no changes in the ossification of the foetal skeleton at dose up to 1000 mg/kg body weight/day. Treatment of dams at 1000 mg/kg/day slightly increased the incidences of supernumerary ribs and wavy ribs.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results in this embryotoxicity and teratogenicy study, the definitive No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was established as being 200 mg/kg bw/day. The NOAEL was considered as 1000 mg/kg bw/ day.
Executive summary:

Oral dosing of pregnant female Wistar rats with Hypersol synergist L 4722 at dose levels of 50, 200 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day during day 6 to 16 of gestation inclusive, was associated with a very slight increase in the total number of foetuses with supernumerary rib(s) or with wavy ribs, but there were no other indications of adverse effects upon in utero development of foetuses.

Based on the results in this embryotoxicity and teratogenicy study, the definitive No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) was established as being 200 mg/kg bw/day. The NOAEL was considered as 1000 mg/kg bw/ day.
