Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Endpoint:
in vivo mammalian somatic cell study: cytogenicity / erythrocyte micronucleus
Type of information:
read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
weight of evidence
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
data from handbook or collection of data
Justification for type of information:
REPORTING FORMAT FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
[Please provide information for all of the points below. Indicate if further information is included as attachment to the same record, or elsewhere in the dataset (insert links in 'Cross-reference' table)]
1. HYPOTHESIS FOR THE ANALOGUE APPROACH
[Describe why the read-across can be performed (e.g. common functional group(s), common precursor(s)/breakdown product(s) or common mechanism(s) of action]
Substance tested : Ethylhexyl Laurate (C12 esters) analogous to Tridecyl palmitate (C16 esters) and Tridecyl Stearate (C18 esters)

2. ANALOGUE APPROACH JUSTIFICATION
[Summarise here based on available experimental data how these results verify that the read-across is justified]

Tridecyl Palmiate and Tridecyl stearate have longer Carbon chain and we assume that they penetrate less the skin. So the analogous is a good indicator to suspect the behavior of our substance.


Cross-reference
Reason / purpose for cross-reference:
read-across: supporting information
Reference
Endpoint:
in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
Type of information:
experimental study
Remarks:
Ethylhexyl Laurate
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 471 (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
- Principle of test: Ames test
- Short description of test conditions: Ethylhexyl Laurate is tested at doses 8, 40, 200, 1000 and 5000 microg/plate
GLP compliance:
yes
Type of assay:
bacterial reverse mutation assay
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium, other: not specified
Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
not specified
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Untreated negative controls:
not specified
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
not specified
True negative controls:
not specified
Positive controls:

Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
not specified
Vehicle controls validity:
not specified
Untreated negative controls validity:

Conclusions:
Ethylhexyl Laurate is not mutagenic in an Ames test performed in S. typhimurium (strains not specified) with and without metabolic activation.
Tridecyl Stearate and TRidecyl Palmitate with longer Carbon chain can be assumed to be non genotoxic.
