Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

Males

Clinical observations: during the dosing phase there was a low incidence of discharge (dried blood) around the nose. Although sequalae were noted, no physical abnormalities were observed during the test period that could be ascribed to the administration of the test material.

Body weight and body weight gain: no effects

Organ weight/body weight ratio

Stomach 125 and 250 mg/kg: significant increased, 500 mg/kg no effects

all other tissue/organ body weight rations: no effects

Gross pathology: no effects

Pregnancy of rats:

pregnancy rates: treated females comparable to control females

range of pregnant rats for mating I: 80 to 100 % and 90 to 95% in the test groups and 90 and 75% in the controls; no evidence of any compound-related effect or trend was observed

Positive control group (TEM group): pregnancy rates comparable to vehicle control (mating I 95 %, mating II: 70 %)

Dominant lethal evaluations

Number of implantation sites

vehicle control mating I: 13.7, mating II: 11.5

positive control: significant decrease in the number of implantation sites (ca. 23 to 56%)

OBTS groups:

250 and 500 mg/kg groups: comparable to vehicle control

125 mg/kg bw group increased but was within vehicle control range for both mating periods

Preimplantation loss:

No significant changes was evident in any of the OBTS groups compared to vehicle controls; the mean number of early fetal deaths per pregnancy was not affected by OBTS

Positive control TEM: significant increased of early fetal deaths ( 6 to 38 fold)

Late fetal deaths:

No effects in any treatment groups compared to vehicle control

Postimplantation mutation index

No effects of pregnant female rats mated with OBTS treated males compared to vehicle control
