Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): no bioaccumulation potential based on study results
Undecanal is primarily oxidised to undecanoic acid which is utilised in the fatty acid oxidation and intermediary metabolism. Undecanoic caid and conjugates thereof may also appear in urine.
Executive summary:

According to the data presented in this review aldehydes are mainly oxidised to its corresponding acid by, predominantly, aldehyde dehydrogenases, a cytosolic enzyme. Acids may then be oxidised and degraded. Alternatively acids may be conjugated with glycine to form hippuric acides. Another metabolism pathway is reduction to the respective alcohols by cytosolic, NAD+-dependent alcohol dehydrogenases, and conjugation of the low molecular weight aldehydes with glutathione, followed by further metabolic steps. The main excretion pathway for remaining aldehyde metabolites is the urine (O'Brien, 2005).
