Any other information on results incl. tables
Anthracene is metabolized in vivo (Sprague-Dawley rats, m;
subcutaneous tissue) and in vitro (rat liver cytosol
preparations) to 9-methyl and 9,10-dimethylanthracene.
These compounds are further decomposed to
9-hydroxymethylanthracene and
9-hydroxymethyl-10-methylanthracene as well as
9-formylanthracene and dihydroxymethylanthracene.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
