Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

EC Number:
817-761-7
Cas Number:
765293-81-0
Molecular formula:
Not applicable
IUPAC Name:
Fatty acids, C18-unsatd., dimers, hydrogenated, reaction products with Phytosterol, Isooctadecan-1-ol, Hexadecan-1-ol, Octadecan-1-ol and Docosan-1-ol
Test material form:
other: waxy solid

Method

Target gene:
his operon for S. typhimurium strains and trp operon for E. coli strains.
Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of rats treated with phenobarbitone / β-naphthoflavone.
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Preliminary toxicity study: 0.15, 0.5, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate in TA 100 and WP2 uvr A with and without metabolic activation
Experiment 1 and experiment 2: 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate in all strains with and without metabolic activation
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: Tetrahydrofuran
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test substance is soluble in tetrahydrofuran at 200 mg/mL, but insoluble in water, acetone, ethanol, DMSO and dimethyl formamide at 50 mg/mL, tetrahydrofuran is an acceptable vehicle for use in this test system.
Controls

yes
Remarks:

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Remarks:
Tetrahydrofuran
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide
9-aminoacridine
N-ethyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine
benzo(a)pyrene
other: 2-aminoanthracene
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: The main assay was performed twice and each carried out in triplicates.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn
Evaluation criteria:
The test material is considered positive in this test system, if the test material have induced a reproducible, dose-related and statistically significant increase in the revertant count in at least one strain of bacteria.
Statistics:
Mean values and standard deviations were calculated. Dunnett's method of linear regression was used for statistical analysis.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: An oily precipitate was observed at and above 500 µg/plate, this did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative with and without metabolic activation.

Based on the results of the conducted Ames test the test substance did not exhibit mutagenic properties in bacterial cells with and without metabolic activation tested up to the limit concentration.
