Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Read across justification

The test item is an UVCB and composes mainly of modified fatty acids from sun flower oil (mSOFA) and, to a minor part, of modiefied fatty acids from tall oil (mTOFA). The fatty acids obtained from tall oil and sun flower oil are of comparable chain lenghth and are modified by the same reaction step. In contrast to mTOFA, mSOFA is also produced solely by the very same reaction as the UVCB and consists therefore of the same reaction products and similar impurities. Furthermore, mSOFA was intentively examined for its toxicological properties. Thus, it is acceptable to derive data on acute toxicity from the read across substance mSOFA.

Procedure and observations

The test item was administered orally by gavage to groups of 10 male and 10 female Wistar rats (F0 animals) at dose levels of 0 mg/kg body weight/day (drinking water served as vehicle), 100 mg/kg bw/d, 300 mg/kg bw/d and 1000 mg/kg bw/d. The duration of treatment covered a 2-week premating and a mating period in both sexes, approximately 1 week post-mating in males, and the entire gestation period as well as 4 days of lactation and 2 weeks thereafter in females. A detailed clinical observation was performed in all animals. Body weights and food consumption were determined in F0 animals. Clinicochemical and hematological examinations as well as urinalyses and FOB were performed in all animals towards the end of the administration period. All animals were assessed by gross pathology; weights of selected organs were recorded and a histopathological examination was performed. The pups were sexed and examined for macroscopically evident changes on PND 0. They were weighed on PND 1 and on PND 4. Their viability was recorded. At necropsy on PND 4, all pups were sacrificed with CO2 and examined macroscopically for external and visceral findings.

Clinical examinations, reproductive performance, clinical pathology, histopathology and gross pathology did not reveal any finding in treated animals. Clinical examination and gross pathology did not reveal any effect on pups.

Discussion

Thus, under the conditions of this Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test the oral administration by gavage to male and female Wistar rats did not reveal signs of toxicity. Thus, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for general systemic toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw/d in both sexes. The NOAEL for reproductive performance, fertility and developmental toxicity was set to 1000 mg/kg bw/d in male and female Wistar rats.


Short description of key information:
Reproductive toxicity of the test item(structural analogue) was determined in the course of a Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening study (OECD 422, GLP). Oral administration by gavage to male and female Wistar rats did not reveal signs of toxicity. The NOAEL for reproductive performance, fertility and developmental toxicity was set to 1000 mg/kg bw/d in male and female Wistar rats.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Justification for classification or non-classification

Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)

The available studies are considered reliable and suitable for classification purposes under 67/548/EEC. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for reproductive toxicity under Directive 67 / 548 / EEC,as amended for the 30th time in Directive 2008/58/EC.

 

 

Classification, Labeling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for reproductive toxicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the second time in Directive (EC 286/2011).
