Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Details on results:
Clinical observations:
No mortality occurred during the study period.

There were no treatment-related clinical signs in any dose
group and no effect on food and water consumption.

Laboratory findings:
There were no treatment-related effects on hematology and
urinalysis which could be considered of biological
significance.

Clinical biochemistry revealed the liver as target organ.
There were increases in the activity of plasma aline
aminotransferase of male and female rats at 1,200 and 4,800
ppm. An increase of aline aminotransferase was also noted in
females at 300 ppm. However, that was not corroborated by
findings of the additional study. In addition at 1,200 and
4,800 ppm, an increased activity of alkaline phosphatase was
observed in animals of both sexes. There was also an
increase of alkaline phosphatase in male rats at 300 ppm,
while this finding was not confirmed in the opposite sex,
neither in the main study nor in the additional study. It
was considered incidental.

In the hepatic tissue, an increase of the activity of the
N-Demythylase and of Cytochrom P-450 was found in males
treated at 4,800 ppm. This effect is taken as evidence for a
mild induction of the mixed-function oxidases.

Effects in organs:
At 4,800 ppm female rats showed an increase in relative
liver weight when compared with controls.

Histopathology revealed an increased eosinophilia of
centrolobular hepatocytes in 2 of 5 male rats at 4,800 ppm.
Such findings are known to be an adaptive phenomenon as a
result of enzyme induction.
