This package contains 2-Ethylhexanol.
SUBCHRONIC EFFECTS: Rats were treated with 0 - 500 mg/kg/day 2-EH by gavage for 3 months. At
250 mg/kg/day, effects included changes in serum chemistry and decreased fat deposition in liver cells of
males. At 500 mg/kg/day, additional findings included changes in serum cholesterol, increased liver
reticulocytes, and forestomach lesions. Mice dosed by gavage with 0 - 500 mg/kg/ day, 5 days/week for 13
weeks, also had forestomach lesions in high-dose animals. In a 90-day subchronic inhalation toxicity study
on Wistar rats, no treatment-related findings occurred at the highest concentration tested (120 ppm).
REPRODUCTION AND BIRTH EFFECTS: In an oral exposure study in rats treated on Gestational Day 12
(GD 12) at 833 or 1666 mg/kg, 2-EH was reported to cause malformations and growth retardation without
maternal toxicity. However, a multiple-dose oral exposure study in rats on GD 6-15 at 0 - 1300 mg/kg/day,
resulted in significant maternal toxicity, including deaths at 650 and 1300 mg/kg/day. In inhalation
exposures (GD 1-19, 850 mg/cu m) or dermal exposures of pregnant rats (GD 6-15 at 0 - 2520 mg/kg/day),
2-EH caused neither maternal nor developmental toxicity. Oral exposure of mice (GD 0-17 at 0 - 191
mg/kg/day) did not induce maternal or developmental toxicity. In mice dosed on GD 6-13 at 1525
mg/kg/day, developmental toxicity occurred concurrent with severe maternal toxicity including deaths.
The weight-of-evidence from studies in laboratory animals suggests that 2-EH is not a selective
developmental toxicant, but can cause adverse developmental effects at dose levels that cause significant
toxicity in the pregnant adult.
