Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

There is no data available for diethyl butylmalonate (CAS # 133 -08 -4). For C&L purposes, the following data available for structurally similar substances cited in the 2006 OECD SIDS “malonic acid diesters” (UNEP Publications, Final 10/2006) is suitable for read across:

Dimethylmalonate, CAS # 108-59-8

not mutagenic

Diethylmalonate, CAS # 105-53-3

not mutagenic

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Genetic toxicity in vivo

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

There is no data available for diethyl butylmalonate (CAS # 133 -08 -4). For C&L purposes, the following data available for structurally similar substances cited in the 2006 OECD SIDS “malonic acid diesters” (UNEP Publications, Final 10/2006) is suitable for read across:

Dimethylmalonate, CAS # 108-59-8 and Diethylmalonate, CAS # 105 -53 -3:

Both materials, DMM and DEM were not mutagenic in standard Ames assays with and without

metabolic activation according to Dir. 84/449/ECC B 14 and GLP in S. typhimurium strains TA

1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 and TA 100 up to concentrations of 5000 ug/plate. Cytotoxicity

was observed for DMM at concentrations at and above 1000 ug/plate while for DEM no cytotoxicity

was observed at the highest concentration of 5000 ug/plate (OECD SIDS, 2006).

DMM was not mutagenic in an in vitro cytogenetic assay in human peripheral lymphocytes with

and without metabolic activation according to OECD TG 473 and GLP at concentrations of up to

5000 ug/ml. A reduction in mitotic index indicating cytotoxicity was observed at a concentration of

5000 ug/ml with and without metabolic activation (OECD SIDS, 2006).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data for read across substances Dimethylmalonate, CAS # 108-59-8 and Diethylmalonate, CAS # 105 -53 -3, there is no indication that Diethyl butylmalonate (CAS # 133 -08 -4) would require classification for genetic toxicity.
