Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
mammalian cell line, other: Chinese hamster ovary cells
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Concentration range in the main test (with metabolic activation): 50 ... 5000 µg/ml
Concentration range in the main test (without metabolic activation): 50 ... 5000 µg/ml
Vehicle / solvent:
DMSO (dimethylsulfoxide)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Fixation time:
24 hours. In one experiment, cells were treated continuously
without S9 for 46 hours and harvested at 48 hours.

Results and discussion

Test results
Key result
Species / strain:
Chinese hamster Ovary (CHO)
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
cytotoxicity
Remarks:
5000 µg/ml
Vehicle controls validity:
not specified
Untreated negative controls validity:
not specified
Positive controls validity:
not specified
Additional information on results:
Observations:
No toxicity was observed, although precipitation above 250
micrograms per plate without S9 made evaluation impossible.


No increase in the frequency of aberrant metaphase was
observed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test substance was negative with and without metabolic activiation. There was no evidence that the substance induced chromosomal aberrations in the presence or absence of S9 mix.
The visible precipitation at higher concentrations may be a result of titanium dioxide forming during abiotic degradation
