Administrative data

Endpoint:
toxicity to reproduction
Remarks:
other: 20 week repeated dose toxicity study
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Reliability 2 is assigned in view of its use for read across and because not all fertility parameters have been measured in the 20 week repeated dose study of alpha-Terpinyl Acetate

Effect levels (P0)

Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
Effect level:
>= 314 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
Based on:
other: The result is converted from alpha-Terpinyl Acetate into alpha-Terpineol using their molecular weights.
Sex:
male/female
Basis for effect level:
other: The animals were dosed via the diet with alpha-Terpinyl Acetate: 1000, 2500 and 10000 ppm, resulting in 400 mg/kg bw

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The NOAEL for fertility from this test is >= 400 mg/kg bw for alpha-Terpinyl Acetate, resulting in 314 mg/kg bw for alpha-Terpineol when using a correction for molecular weight (154/196)
Executive summary:

In repeated dose dietary study of 20 weeks, similar to OECD TG 408, with alpha-Terpinyl Acetate no effect on male and female gonads were seen at the highest dose of 400 mg/kg bw, resulting in a NOAEL of >= 400 mg/kg bw, resulting in a NOAEL for alpha-Terpineol of >=314 mg/kg bw when using a correction for molecular weight (154/196).
