ABSTRACT
1,4-Dichlorobutane (1,4-DCB) is used as raw materials for drugs, pesticides, fragrances, and chemical fibers, and being used as a solvent. Its toxicity data was insufficient for screening assessment under the Japanese Chemical Substances Control Law. We conducted toxicity tests and hazard classification for screening assessment 1,4-DCB showed negative in the Ames test, positive in the in vitro chromosomal aberrations test with metabolic activation, and negative in the in vivo mouse bone-marrow micronucleus test. The 28-day repeated-dose toxicity study, where male and female rats were administered 1,4-DCB by gavage at 0, 12, 60, and 300 mg/kg/day, showed significant effects on the liver and pancreas from 12 mg/kg/day and kidney at 300 mg/kg/day. Based on periportal hepatocellular hypertrophy and decreased zymogen granules in pancreas, the lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) of 12 mg/kg/day was obtained. The reproductive/developmental toxicity screening study, in which male and female rats were administered 1,4-DCB by gavage at dose of 0, 2.4, 12, and 60 mg/kg/day for 42-46 days, showed that the delivery index was decreased at 60 mg/kg/day without maternal toxicity. Based on the general toxicity, we classified this chemical as hazard class 2, with a D-value (Derived No Effect Level) of 0.002 mg/kg/day.
