Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Effect levels
Key result
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Effect level:
>= 10 000 mg/kg bw
Mortality:
Deaths were preceded by convulsions in some animals.
Clinical signs:
Dosing of dogs with up to 3000 mg/kg of the test item resulted only in reduced activity. Sub-chronic and chronic oral toxicity studies in rats (up to 1000 mg/kg/day) and beagles (up to 300 mg/kg/day) produced symptomology primarily consisting of reduced activity; slight decreases in food consumption and body weight gain; and slight reduction in liver weight, paralleled by significant decreases in plasma triglycerides, bilirubin, and alkaline phosphatase. There were no histopathological correlates.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
Based on the results, choline glycerophosphate has no mutagenic activity, is not genotoxic in vitro or in vivo, exhibits low acute oral toxicity, has a LD50 >= 10000 mg/kg in rats and mice and has an oral NOAEL of 150 mg/kg bw/day following 26 weeks oral exposure.
