Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Administrative data

Description of key information

Available repeated dose oral toxicity data in rats were used to determine the LD50 of the test substance in accordance with REACH Annex XI, 1.1.2 (7.5.1 -1).

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Acute toxicity: via oral route

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
adverse effect observed
Dose descriptor:
LD50
Value:
227 mg/kg bw
Quality of whole database:
Klimisch Code 2

Additional information

The subacute toxic effects (36 days) of the test item (0.05, 0.10, 0.20, 0.40 0.80 and 1.6% of the diet resembling 35, 70, 130, 196, 286, and 367 mg/kg bw/d) was investigated in young male SD rats (reference 7.5.1 -1). Animals consumed normal amounts of food and water at low test item levels (0.05-0.10%). Higher levels (>0.20%) significantly reduced food consumption and increased water intake. Evidence of gross pathology in soft tissues was absent at 0.05 to 0.10% dose group. Levels greater than 0.10% produced definite pathological changes in the kidney. The kidneys were greatly enlarged and its absolute weight increased more than 2x normal. The enlarged kidneys were granular, edematous, greyish, and soft. A significant change in blood urea nitrogen occurred when the level of the test item approached 0.20%. No significant changes were found in blood uric acid at all dietary levels. Low levels did not change the hematological indices with the exception of the leukocyte count. A significant leukocytosis occured at all levels (0.05-1.6%) of adenine. An increase in systolic blood pressure but no change in EKG was noted at levels >0.20% adenine. An oral LD50 of 227 mg/kg bw/d was determined. Based on the weight gain a LOAEL of 35 mg/kg bw/d was determined.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are suitable for classification purposes under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 (CLP). As a result the test item is considered to be classified for acute oral toxicity (UN GHS Category 3, H301) under Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, as amended for the tenth time in Regulation (EU) No 2017/776.
