Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Results and discussion

Results of examinations

Details on results:
Clinical observations:
Survival was not affected by the treatment. No animals died
during the study.

Clinical observations revealed no treatment-related clinical
findings at 612 mg/kg bw/d and below. There were no
toxicologically significant differences between treated and
control groups in both sexes for food consumption and body
weight. The water intake was statistical significantly
increased for males at >= 175 mg/kg bw/d.

There were no toxicologically significant differences
between treated and control groups in the functional
observational battery, motor and locomotor activity.

Laboratory findings:
Hematology and clinical biochemistry showed no
toxicologically significant differences between treated and
control groups in both sexes up to and including 612 mg/kg
bw/d.

Urinalysis revealed a decrease of pH values in males and an
increased incidence of epithelial cells in both sexes at 612
mg/kg bw/d.

Effects in organs:
There were no changes in organ weights and necropsy that
were considered to be an effect of treatment.

At microscopy diffuse hyperplasia of the urinary bladder
transitional epithelium was observed in animals of both
sexes at 612 mg/kg bw/d. The hyperplasia affected the whole
bladder circumference and was graded most frequently as
slight. Minimal or slight diffuse hyperplasia was also
observed in the transitional epithelium of the urethra in
several animals given the same dose level. Hypertrophy and
vacuolation of the adrenal cortex was detected in one female
at 612 mg/kg bw/d. Because a finding of that type is usually
not known from controls for this single case a treatment
relation could not be excluded.
