Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

The extra glucuronide excreted as % of dose (average of 3 rabbits, 2 rabbits for *) was as follows:
n-hexanol 10.3%; n-heptanol 5.3%; n-octanol 9.5%; n-nonanol 4.1%; n-decanol* 3.5%; n-octadecanol* 7.6%. It was reported that absorpton of 

n-decanol and n-octadecanol was incomplete and irregular and the alcohol could be isolated in quantity from the faeces.

No further information on other biotransformation pathways of these alcohols was provided.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
All the primary alcohols investigated form glucuronic acid conjugates which are excreted in the urine. However this was generally <10% of the dose.
