Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Result with Benzylhydantoin (BHT): Ames negative with or without metabolic activation (S. typhimurium and E. coli)

Read-across from Benzylhydantoin, or 5-(phenylmethyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione (CAS n° 3530-82-3) to HPG-hyd: p-hydroxy-phenylhydantoin, or 5-(4-hydroxyphenyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione is supported, beyond an obvious structural similarity, by the following mechanistic criteria similarities, as evaluated by the OECD Toolbox:

-        Benigni-Rossa rule base: no structural alert (for carcinogenicity)

-        DNA binding: ureide structural alert group

-        Protein binding: potentially can cause skin sensitization as a result of protein conjugation via nucleophilic substitution of cyclic dicarbonyls


Short description of key information:
By analogy with Benzylhydantoin (or 5-(phenylmethyl)imidazolidine-2,4-dione, CAS n° 3530-82-3), p-Hydroxy-phenylhydantoin (HPG-hyd) is not considered to be genotoxic substance.

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Data are conclusive for genetic toxicity, but not sufficient for classification according to CLP criteria (Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008).No data is available in mammalian cells in-vitro.

No classification is proposed for genetic toxicity according to CLP criteria.
