Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

Two in vitro and two in vivo studies indicated that the substance 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lactone (CAS No. 6381-77-7) was not mutagenic.

Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint

No endpoint was selected as all studies were negative.

Short description of key information:

In vitro:

Gene mutation (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay/Ames test): the substance 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lactone (CAS No. 6381-77-7) was not mutagenic in the strains S. typhimurium TA92, TA94, TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 in the presence and absence of Polychlorinated biphenyls-treated Fischer rat liver S9 metabolic activation. (Similar/equivalent to OECD 471).

Chromosome aberration (in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration): the substance 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lactone (CAS No. 6381-77-7) was concluded to be negative for the induction of chromosome aberrations in the presence and absence of Polychlorinated biphenyls-induced Wistar rat S9 metabolic activation in Chinese hamster lung (CHL) cells. (Similar/equivalent to OECD 473).

In vivo:

Chromosome aberration (Dominant lethal assay): the substance 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lactone (CAS No. 6381-77-7) was not mutagenic to the rat by the dominant lethal procedure.

Chromosome aberration (heritable translocation assay): the substance 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lactone (CAS No. 6381-77-7) did not induce heritable translocation heterozygosity.

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available information in the dossier, the substance 2,3-didehydro-3-O-sodio-D-erythro-hexono-1,4-lactone (CAS No. 6381-77-7) does not need to be classified for germ cell mutagenicity when the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC are applied.
