Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene
EC Number:
202-551-4
EC Name:
1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene
Cas Number:
97-00-7
Molecular formula:
C6H3ClN2O4
IUPAC Name:
1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene
Details on test material:
commercial sample of DNCB

Test animals

Species:
human
Strain:
other: epithelial like human liver cells (chang cells)
Sex:
not specified

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
other: in vitro
Vehicle:
not specified
Analytical verification of doses or concentrations:
not specified
Duration of treatment / exposure:
no data
Frequency of treatment:
single, 2 h
Post exposure period:
10 days
No. of animals per sex per dose:
no applicable
Details on study design:
cells were pretreated with glutathione ethyl ester to increase intracellular glutathione (GSH) or with diethyl maleate to reduce intracellular GSH. Afterwards cells were treated with DNCB and the cloning effinciency was determined.

Examinations

Examinations:
Cloning efficiency after 2 h treatment and subsequent 10 days incubation at 37 C.

Results and discussion

Details on results:
Increased GSH-levels gave rise to increased cytotxicity (reduced cloning effficiency, while reduced GSH reduced the toxci effects of DNCB in these cells.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The toxic mechanism of DNCB in a human liver cell line seems to envolve GSH in activation of DNCB. Cytotoxicity was found inversely proportional to GSH concentration in vitro.
