Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

In a reproductive/developmental screening test (oral administration of 50; 100; 1000 mg/kg bw ) in rats no indication of adverse effects on development was noted. This is supported in a read across approach data were considered from studies performed with the disodium salt of sebacic acid the C10 analog of dodecandioic acid with both rats and rabbits at dose levels of 500 and 1000 mg/kg bw/d, for rats and rabbits respectively.

A data waiver was claimed.

Conclusions:

NOAEL was 1000 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

A combined repeated dose toxicity Study with a Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test was conducted following the OECD guideline 422, which was only published shortly after this study was performed.

Goups of each 12 male and female rats received 0, 100, 500 or 1000 mg/kg bw/day of Dodecanedioic acid by gavage. After 14 days of dosing rats were mated within the treatment groups and allowed to produce litters. Dosing continued through mating, gestation and laction until day 54.

On day 0 and 4 postpartum, pups in each litter were counted, weighed collectively by sex and exmined for abnormal behaviour or appearance.

Blood samples were collected from the male rats at the end of the study for hematological and clinical chemistry measurements. Parental animals were sacrificed for gross pathological examination. Selected organ weights were determined and control and high dose groups were subjected to histopathological examination.

Apart fom transient incidences of hyperactivity at high dose levels there were no clinicla signs. There were no mortalities, body weights, food consumption were not affected.

Reproductive performance was not affected by treatment. Pups showed no adverse effects of tratment.

No adverse effects were noted upon gross or histopathological examination or biochemistry of blood samples of parental rats.

A decrease in total leukocyte counts in samples of the high dose group had no morphological correlate in thymus or spleen.

Overall the NOAEL was observed at 1000 mg/kg bw/d the highest dose level, for both repeated dose toxicity and reproductive toxicity.

Additional information

No developmental toxicity as observed in a screening test in rats at dose levels of up to 1000 mg/kg bw/day (4.3 mmol/kg bw/day) dodecanedioic acid.

This observation is supported by read-across to developmental toxicity studies with the disodium salts of C10 -homologue dicarboxylic acid, decanedioic acid (sebacic acid), at dose levels of 500 mg/kg bw/day (2.0 mmol/kg bw/day corresponding to 460.6 mg/kg bw/day dodecanedioic acid) in rats and 1000 mg/kg bw/day (4.06 mmol/kg bw/day corresponding to 935 mg/kg bw/day dodecanedioic acid) in rabbits where also a lack of developmental toxicity was demonstrated.

Justification for classification or non-classification

No adverse effects were noted on fertility or development, therefore no classification regarding reproductive toxicity is required.
