Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Endpoint:
additional toxicological information
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Study period:
no data
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The rationale for the dose selection is not known, the exposure duration is not justified and was maybe too short to properly induce the enzyme activity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Quinoline didn't induced the activity of aryl hydrocarbon hydroxylase in the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

Quinoline was administered to rats either by ip or intratracheal instillation. Liver and lungs were analysed for AHH activity 24 h later.

Quinoline did not induce the activity of this enzyme in the conditions of the test.
