Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effects on fertility

Description of key information

The oral administration of Butyl Hydrogen Maleate to rats by gavage, at dose levels of 175, 100 and 30 mg/kg bw/day, resulted in treatment-related changes at all dose levels. A ‘No Observed Effect Level’ (NOEL) for systemic toxicity could therefore not be established.

The effects detected at 100 and 30 were considered not to represent an adverse effect, therefore the ‘No Observed Adverse Effect Level’ (NOAEL) for systemic toxicity was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day.

There were no treatment-related effects detected on the reproductive parameters investigated, therefore the ‘No Observed Effect Level’ (NOEL) for reproductive toxicity was considered to be 175 mg/kg bw/day.

Effect on fertility: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
175 mg/kg bw/day
Study duration:
subacute
Species:
rat
Effect on fertility: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on fertility: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Additional information

The test item was administered by gavage to three groups, each of twelve male and twelve female Wistar Han™:RccHan™:WIST strain rats, for up to eight weeks (including a two week pre-pairing phase, pairing, gestation and early lactation for females), at dose levels of 30, 100 and 175 mg/kg bw/day. A control group of twelve males and twelve females was dosed with vehicle alone.

The oral administration of Butyl Hydrogen Maleate to rats by gavage, at dose levels of 175, 100 and 30 mg/kg bw/day, resulted in treatment-related changes at all dose levels. A ‘No Observed Effect Level’ (NOEL) for systemic toxicity could therefore not be established.

The effects detected at 100 and 30 were considered not to represent an adverse effect, therefore the ‘No Observed Adverse Effect Level’ (NOAEL) for systemic toxicity was considered to be 100 mg/kg bw/day.

There were no treatment-related effects detected on the reproductive parameters investigated, therefore the ‘No Observed Effect Level’ (NOEL) for reproductive toxicity was considered to be 175 mg/kg bw/day.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the results of the above study the test material can be considered not to be classified for reproduction and developmental toxicity.
