Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Clinical signs:
no effects observed
Mortality:
no mortality observed
Body weight and weight changes:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Slight lowering of body weight gain during premating period (for both males and females) and mating period (for males)
Food consumption and compound intake (if feeding study):
no effects observed
Haematological findings:
no effects observed
Clinical biochemistry findings:
no effects observed
Organ weight findings including organ / body weight ratios:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
A solitary incidence of statistically significant decrease was noticed in absolute weight of epididymides in male rat (in G4 dose group) which was not considered to be a treatment related change due to lack of change in relative weight of epididymides, hence not considered to be of toxicological significance.
Gross pathological findings:
effects observed, non-treatment-related
Description (incidence and severity):
Few incidental findings were observed in lungs and mediastinal lymph nodes and these comprised of reddening and abscess in lungs and enlargement of mediastinal lymph nodes. As these findings were not dose dependent and present in animals from control group as well, were therefore considered to be unrelated to treatment.
Neuropathological findings:
no effects observed
Histopathological findings: non-neoplastic:
no effects observed
