Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

No genotoxicity studies are available for 3 beta,7 beta,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one (ZK 91535). However, there is a genotoxicity study for the stereoisomer 3 beta,7 alpha,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one (ZK 70458):

3 beta,7 alpha,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one (ZK 70458) did not show a mutagenic potential in a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test in S. typhimurim strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 1538 and TA98) when tested up to the highest recommended dose level of 5 mg/plate in the absense or presence of extrinsic metabolic activation (liver S9 mix from Aroclor 1254 -treated rats). No growth inhibition was seen in any tested strain. Precipitates in the agar could be at 5 mg/plate.


Short description of key information:
No genotoxicity studies are available for 3 beta,7 beta,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one. However, there is a genotoxicity study for the stereoisomer 3 beta,7 alpha,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one:

Gene mutation (bacterial reverse mutation assay / Ames test, GLP, OECD TG471): negative with and without metabolic activation
[Schering AG, Report No. X514 -draft-, 2000-12-05]

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

3 beta,7 beta,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one can be expected to lead to the same effects as the stereoisomer 3 beta,7 alpha,15 alpha-Trihydroxy-5-androsten-17-one.

Based on the results there is no classification required according to Directive 67/548/EEC and Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).
