Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effects on fertility

Description of key information

There is no data available for diethyl butylmalonate (CAS # 133 -08 -4). For C&L purposes, the following data available for structurally similar substances cited in the 2006 OECD SIDS “malonic acid diesters” (UNEP Publications, Final 10/2006) is suitable for read across:

Dimethylmalonate, CAS # 108-59-8

no effects on fertility observed

Effect on fertility: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Study duration:
subacute
Species:
rat
Additional information

There is no data available for diethyl butylmalonate (CAS # 133 -08 -4). For C&L purposes, the following data available for structurally similar substances cited in the 2006 OECD SIDS “malonic acid diesters” (UNEP Publications, Final 10/2006) is suitable for read across:

Dimethylmalonate, CAS # 108-59-8

In the combined repeated dose reproduction/developmental screening test with DMM in Wistar rats

no treatment related changes in fertility index for males and females, gestation index, testes and

epididymis weights were observed compared to the control. No treatment related histopathological

changes of the sex organs or stages of spermatogenesis were reported (OECD SIDS, 2006).

The NOAEL for fertility corresponds therefore to the highest dose tested: 1000 mg/kg bw per day.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

There is no data available for diethyl butylmalonate (CAS # 133 -08 -4). For C&L purposes, the following data available for structurally similar substances cited in the 2006 OECD SIDS “malonic acid diesters” (UNEP Publications, Final 10/2006) is suitable for read across:

Dimethylmalonate, CAS # 108-59-8

no effects on development observed

Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
NOAEL
1 000 mg/kg bw/day
Study duration:
subacute
Species:
rat

Dimethylmalonate, CAS # 108-59-8

The combined repeated dose reproduction/developmental screening test with DMM in Wistar rats

revealed no treatment related changes in the duration of gestation, the gestation index, parturition

and pre-implantatian loss compared to controls.

In the low dose group post-implantatian loss was increased and consequently the percentage of live

pups born was statistically significantly reduced compared to controls. These changes were

considered incidental and not treatment related as the effects were not observed in the mid and high

dose groups. No statistically significant differences between treated and control groups were

observed for the number of pregnancies, number of dams that littered, number of live litters, mean

litter size, mean viable litter size, sex ratio at birth, number of pups dead at first observatian or day

2 to 4 post partum, number of live pups at day 0, 3, and 4 post partum and the associated survival

indices. A significantly higher percentage of male pups and lower number of females an day 4 post

partum in the low dose group was considered incidental as no comparable change was observed in

the mid and high dose group or at other time intervals. The mean number and mean weights of male

and female pups as weIl as both sexes combined were otherwise not statistically significantly

different from controls. No statistically significant difference in the external abnormalities of life

and dead pups compared to controls was abserved at all dose levels. Maternal toxicity was restricted

to a reversible hepatocellular hypertrophy at 1000 mg/kg bw, with a matemal

NOAEL of 300 mg/kg bw. The NOAEL for developmental toxicity was 1000 mg/kg bw per day

(OECD SIDS, 2006).

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data for read across substance Dimethylmalonate, CAS # 108 -59 -8, there is no indication that Diethyl butylmalonate (CAS # 133 -08 -4) would require classification for toxicity to reproduction
