Description of key information

The study with the longest duration and lowest NOAEL was chosen as key study (read-across approach).
Klimisch 2. Read-across approach.
The analogue CAS No. 128-37-0 (BHT) which shares the same functional group (alkylphenol) with the substance CAS no. 88-27-7 (2,6-di-tert-butyl-α-dimethylamino-p-cresol), also has comparable values for the relevant molecular properties. Therefore, the results obtained with the substance CAS No. 128 -37-0 can be used for the read-across approach.
