Toxicity to reproduction

Administrative data

Endpoint:

toxicity to reproduction

Remarks:

other: 20 week repeated dose toxicity study

Type of information:

migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)

Adequacy of study:

key study

Reliability:

2 (reliable with restrictions)

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

other: Reliability 2 is assigned in view of its use for read across and because not all fertility parameters have been measured in the 20 week repeated dose study of alpha-Terpinyl Acetate

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The NOAEL for fertility from this test is >= 400 mg/kg bw for alpha-Terpinyl Acetate, resulting in 314 mg/kg bw for alpha-Terpineol when using a correction for molecular weight (154/196)

Executive summary:

In repeated dose dietary study of 20 weeks, similar to OECD TG 408, with alpha-Terpinyl Acetate no effect on male and female gonads were seen at the highest dose of 400 mg/kg bw, resulting in a NOAEL of >= 400 mg/kg bw, resulting in a NOAEL for alpha-Terpineol of >=314 mg/kg bw when using a correction for molecular weight (154/196).
