Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Any other information on results incl. tables

In rats, the target organs were the gastro-intestinal tract (intestinal epithelial hypertrophy/slight to moderate intestinal hyperplasia) and kidney (renal tubular epithelial karyomegaly and pigment accumulation at dose of 30 mg/kg/day). It was suggested that gastro-intestinal lesions could be rodent specific occurring at the highest doses as no signs were reported in either monkeys or in dogs. It was agreed however that this finding should be further investigated. Changes in serum chemistry parameters, including dose-related slight to moderate changes in cholesterol, triglycerides, ALT, AST and creatinine were also reported in the 300 mg dose group. All these effects were reversible after treatment discontinuation. The no-observed effect-level (NOEL) determined was less than 30 mg/kg, and therefore no overall safety margins could be established.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
NOEL (rat): < 30 mg/Kg./day
