Examinations
- Observations and examinations performed and frequency:
- CAGE SIDE OBSERVATIONS: No data
DETAILED CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS: No data
BODY WEIGHT: Yes, no further data
WATER CONSUMPTION AND COMPOUND INTAKE (if drinking water study): No data
OPHTHALMOSCOPIC EXAMINATION: No data
HAEMATOLOGY: Yes
Clinical pathology studies were performed on all rats that survived until the end of the studies. Blood samples were collected in Microtainers containing dipotassium EDTA.
- Parameters examined included erythrocyte count (RBC), leukocyte count (WBC), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), differential leukocyte count, erythrocyte morphological assessment, reticulocyte count, platelet count and platelet morphological assessment. Differential leukocyte counts were determined by microscopic evaluation of blood smears stained with Wright Giemsa. Reticulocytes were stained by mixing equal volumes of whole blood with methylene blue.
CLINICAL CHEMISTRY: Yes
Clinical pathology studies were performed on all rats that survived until the end of the studies. Biochemical analyses were performed on blood samples collected in Microtainers with no preservative or anticoagulant.
- Parameters examined included serum sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH), alanine arninotransferase (ALT), total protein (TP), albumin, urea nitrogen (UN). creatinine, glucose and total bile acids.
URINALYSIS: Yes
- Time schedule for collection of urine: Urine samples were collected over a 16-h period from rats housed individually in polycarbonate metabolism cages during the 12th week of the study. Food was removed from the cages and collection tubes were immersed in ice-water baths.
- Parameters examined: Volume, appearance, specific gravity, pH, glucose, protein, urea, nitrogen, creatinine, and activities of alkaline phosphatase and lactate dehydrogenase.
NEUROBEHAVIOURAL EXAMINATION: No data - Sacrifice and pathology:
- GROSS PATHOLOGY: Yes, complete necropsies were performed on all animals. The brain, heart, right kidney, liver, lung, right testis and thymus were weighed.
HISTOPATHOLOGY: Yes, complete histopathological examinations were performed on all control animals, all early death animals and all animals in the highest dose groups with at least 60 % survivors. Target tissues were examined in animals from lower dose groups until a no-effect level was determined. All lesions observed at necropsy were examined microscopically. - Statistics:
- Organ and body weight data were analyzed using the parametric multiple comparisons procedures of Williams (Biometrics 27, 103-1 17, 1971; Biometrics 28, 519-531, 1972) and Dunnett (J. Am. Stat. Assoc. 50, 1095-1121, 1955). Clinical chemistry and hematology data were analyzed using the non-parametric multiple comparison methods of Shirley (Biometrics 33, 386-389, 1977) and Dunn (Technometrics 6, 241-252, 1964).
Results and discussion
Results of examinations
- Details on results:
- Text from NTP-report:
"Two males exposed to 5,000 ppm died before the end of the study. Mean body weights of males exposed to 630 ppm or greater and females exposed to 320 ppm or greater were less than those of the controls during the study. Hematology evaluations conducted at study termination indicated the presence of a normochromic, microcytic anemia similar to that observed in the dermal study. Histopathologic lesions associated with exposure to diethanolamine included exposure-related increases in the severities of nephropathy and incidences of renal tubule mineralization in males and females, demyelination of the brain and spinal cord in females exposed to 1,250 or 2,500 ppm and males exposed 2,500 or 5,000 ppm, and degeneration of the seminiferous tubules in males exposed to 2,500 ppm or greater."

Any other information on results incl. tables
The substance contains approx. 40 % 2,2'-iminodiethanol (CAS No 111-42-2), therefore data of 2,2'-iminodiethanol are relevant for toxicological assessment and were thus included in the IUCLID.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Executive summary:
Groups of 10 rats of each sex received drinking water solutions containing 2,2'-iminodiethanol ad libitum daily for 13 weeks. All surviving animals were sacrificed at the end of the exposure period; no recovery group was implemented. The examinations included urine analysis, clinical pathology, complete necropsy, organ weights, histopathology, and statistical evaluation thereof.
The result is summarized in the NTP-report:
"Two males exposed to 5,000 ppm died before the end of the study. Mean body weights of males exposed to 630 ppm or greater and females exposed to 320 ppm or greater were less than those of the controls during the study. Hematology evaluations conducted at study termination indicated the presence of a normochromic, microcytic anemia similar to that observed in the dermal study. Histopathologic lesions associated with exposure to diethanolamine included exposure-related increases in the severities of nephropathy and incidences of renal tubule mineralization in males and females, demyelination of the brain and spinal cord in females exposed to 1,250 or 2,500 ppm and males exposed 2,500 or 5,000 ppm, and degeneration of the seminiferous tubules in males exposed to 2,500 ppm or greater."
According to Melnick et al., 1994, a "NOAEL was not achieved in the drinking water studies for hematological changes or nephropathy...." Deviating from the authors conclusion the observed chronic progressive nephropathy (CPN) is not regarded to be of relevance, as it is a common rat-specific age-related degenerative disease with no counterpart in humans (Hard et al., Toxicol. Sci. 132 (2), 268 -275, 2013; Melnick et al., Toxicol. Sci., 128 (2), 346 -356, 2012). Consequently, a NOAEL is set at 630 ppm (eq. to approx. 48 mg/kg for male and 57 mg/kg for female rats) based on tubular mineralization (males) and tubular epithelial necrosis and demyelination of the brain (females) evident at the next higher dose (1250 ppm; eq to approx. 97 mg/kg for male and 127 for female rats).
The NOAEL of 48 mg/kg and the LOEL of 97 mg/kg are already acknowledged in a recent evaluation of ECHA for 2,2'-iminodiethanol, published on the ECHA website (ECHA decision on substance evaluation pursuant to article 46(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 for 2,2'-iminodiethanol - CAS No 111 -42 -2 (EC No 203 -868 -0; http://echa.europa.eu/documents/10162/d34b5848-6b8e-4944-8ce7-4d0200ea43d7).
