Registration Dossier
Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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: 201-224-3 | CAS number: 79-77-6
Toxicity to reproduction
Administrative data
- Endpoint:
- two-generation reproductive toxicity
- Remarks:
- based on test type (migrated information)
- 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: see 'Remark'
- Remarks:
- Acceptable documented publication which meets basic scientific principles. Due to structural similarities of the registered substance trans-ß-ionone (CAS 79-77-6) and the used test substance (mixture of α- and β-isomers, CAS 8013-90-9) the data could be taken into account for assessment.

- Remarks:
- Doses / Concentrations:
ca. 8 - 10 mg/kg bw/day
Basis:
nominal conc.
for P generation
- Remarks:
- Doses / Concentrations:
15 mg/kg bw
Basis:
nominal conc.
for F1 generation
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 48 animals divede into 4 groups
- Control animals:
- no
- Details on study design:
- - The female rats were studied through 3 reproduction cycles for number of pregnancies, weight, number of offspring, live pups, weight of pups at birth and after 7 and 21 days, and the viability of the pups after birth.
- The F1 generation (offspring) were allowed to reach maturity and treated with 15 mg/kg of ionone prior to being subject to reproductive toxicity testing.
- Their offspring, the F2 generation were evaluated for reproduction parameters.
Examinations
