Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Additional information

Pharmacological studies with subcutaneous application of the test substance revealed the following results:

Significant estrogenic effect in the rat (Allen-Doisy test). Threshold dose subcutaneous ca. 0.3 mg/animal (~300-fold less effective than estradiol).

Anti-gonadotropic effect in the rat (testis inhibition test). At 1 mg/animal/day subcutaneous (body weight = 35 g) 44% testicular inhibition. Cause: inhibition of central gonadotropin secretion, presumably via estrogenic mode of action.


100% inhibition of implantation in the rat at 1 mg/animal/day subcutaneous. This may be due to an estrogenic or anti-gonadotropic mode of action.

 

Effects on developmental toxicity

Effect on developmental toxicity: via oral route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via inhalation route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available
Effect on developmental toxicity: via dermal route
Endpoint conclusion:
no study available

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on pharmacological data (estrogenic and anti-gonadotropic effect, 100% inhibition of implantation in the rat) a self classification of the substance according to Directive 67/548/EEC or Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP) is recommended as follows:

DSD: R62, Repr. Cat. 3 (Possible risk of impaired fertility) and R63, Repr. Cat. 3 (Possible risk of harm to the unborn child)

GHS: Repr. 2 (H361fd: Suspected of damaging fertility, suspected of damaging the unborn child)

DSD: R64 (May cause harm to breast-fed babies)

GHS: Additional category for effects on or via lactation (H362: May cause harm to breast-fed children)
