Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

No mutagenic potential with and without metabolic activation
Executive summary:

Hydrocortisone 21-acetate did not show a mutagenic potential in a bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test in S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535, TA1537) when tested up to the highest recommended dose level of 5.0 mg/plate in the absense or presense of extrinsic metabolic activation (liver S9 mix form Aroclor 1254 -treated rats).
