Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The substance can be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2-10, which is of relevance for biological systems.

For the hydrogen atoms in the neighbourhood of the conjugated double bounds, pKa value above 19 and for the alcoholic hydroxyl groups pKa values > 13 were calculated.

Conclusions:
The substance can be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2-10, which is of relevance for biological systems.
Executive summary:

The chemical structure of the substance does not show any groups, which can be protonated or deprotonated. This fact was supported by calculation with the computer programs ACD/pKa DB and CAMEO, which did not calculate for the test substance any pKa value in the pH range 0-13.Therefore it can be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2-10, which is of relevance for biological systems.

Description of key information

The substance can be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2 to 10, which is of relevance for biological systems.

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Additional information

The substance does not contain any functional group which can be protonated or deprotonated significantly in aqueous solution. This fact was supported by calculations with the computer programs ACD/pKa DB and Cameo, which didn't calculate any pKa in the range 0 to 13. Therefore, norethisterone is to be considered as a neutral molecule in the pH range 2 to 10, which is of relevance for aqueous biological systems.
