Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Description of key information

Repeated dose oral toxicity: NOEL ca. 803.3 mg/kg bw/day (oral gavage, rats), QSAR, Disodium N-(1-oxohexadecyl)-L-glutamate
Repeated dose oral toxicity: NOEL ca. 431.7 mg/kg bw/day (oral gavage, rats), QSAR, Disodium N-(1-oxooctadecyl)-L-glutamate

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Repeated dose toxicity: via oral route - systemic effects

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed
Quality of whole database:
The database is limited but of sufficient quality. The two QSAR predictions provided NOELs which can be used as a basis for classification and labelling, and also for risk assessment purposes, but does not indicate effects on specific organs.

Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation - systemic effects

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Repeated dose toxicity: inhalation - local effects

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Repeated dose toxicity: dermal - systemic effects

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Repeated dose toxicity: dermal - local effects

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Additional information

The repeat dose oral toxicity of the registered substance (a multi-constituent substance) was evaluated using a read-across approach of the two main constituents using bespoke QSARs created in the OECD QSAR Toolbox, tailored to both the substance and the endpoint. Suitable analogues were found using the Repeated Dose Hess category and the results refined using relevant subcategories.

The repeated dose oral toxicity No Observed Effect Level (NOEL) of disodium N-(1-oxohexadecyl)-L-glutamate was determined to be ca. 803.3 mg/kg bw/day in the rat via oral gavage. The oral gavage NOEL in rats for disodium N-(1-oxooctadecyl)-L-glutamate was determined to be ca. 431.7 mg/kg bw/day. 


Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity via oral route - systemic effects endpoint:
As the registered substance is a multiconstituent substance, the repeated dose toxicity was assessed using QSAR predictions of the two main constituents. As both reports demonstrated high expected No Observed Effect Levels (NOELs), both were presented as key studies.

Justification for classification or non-classification

In accordance with the criteria for classification as defined in Annex I, Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP), the substance does not require classification with respect to Specific Target Organ Toxicity repeated dose (STOT RE) via the oral route.
