Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
3 (not reliable)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: The data from the migrated NONS file is deficient, and the study has not be seen to confirm reliability. No data is provided on the guidelines followed or if the study was performed to GLP standards, so the study could be highly unreliable.

Results and discussion

Results: maternal animals

Maternal developmental toxicity

Details on maternal toxic effects:
Maternal toxic effects:yes. Remark: Some effects - as detailed below.

Details on maternal toxic effects:
At 800 mg/kg bw, one dam died after the 7th and one after the 10th test article administration. The females of this group had marked clinical signs of reaction to treatment, reduced food consumption, slight body weight loss during the first day of dosing and reduced corrected body weight gain.

At 50 or 200 mg/kg, no effects of treatment with the test article on the maternal parameters were evident.

Effect levels (maternal animals)

Results (fetuses)

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:yes. Remark: Some effects - as detailed below.

Details on embryotoxic / teratogenic effects:
Effects on fetus - Gross: At 800 mg/kg bw, the mean fetal bod weight was reduced. At 50 or 200 mg/kg bw, no effects of treatment with the test article on the fetal parameters wer evident.

Effects on fetus - Skeletal:
At 800 mg/kg bw, there was delay of skeletal ossification.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The NOAEL is 200 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

The guideline followed has not been given in the migrated NONS file provided by ECHA. The study finds that the NOAEL for N-(n-octyl)-2 -pyrrolidinone is 200 mg/kg bw/day. This level is not low enough for classification of n-(n-octyl)-2 -pyrrolidinone.
