Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Details on maternal toxic effects:
Details on maternal toxic effects:
Mortality:
At 150 mg/kg all dams were terminated prior to scheduled sacrifice because of severe toxicity and high mortality
At 75 mg/kg 1 dam died.

General toxicity:
At 75 mg/kg: between gestation days 6-10 reduced body weight gain (slight but not significant) and reduced food consumption; recovery later in gestation; urinary staining, alopecia; maternal reproductive parameters comparable to controls, mean number of early resorptions and post implantation loss slightly increased (post implantation loss in the respective control very low compared to historical control; values range: 0-0.9).
At 25 mg/kg: no evidence of maternal toxicity.

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Fetal body weight comparable to control.
Variations: cervical #7 ribs at 25 mg/kg bw/day (1.1%) and significant at 75 mg/kg (2%); 13 full pairs of ribs with lumbar #1 rudimentary ribs in controls, at 25 mg/kg, 75 mg/kg increased, but not significant; 12 full pair of ribs with #13 unilateral full rib and/or rudimentary rib(s) in controls and in 25 mg/kg increased, but not significant

A NOAEL for developmental toxicity could not be conclusively derived.
