General assessmentView source →

Cited by 4. The biocidal agent, BIOBAN CS-1246 (7-ethyl bicyclooxazolidine, CAS# 7747-35-5, CS-1246) induced a concentration-dependent mutagenic response in mouse lymphoma (L5178Y TK+/-) cells both with and without the addition of S9 metabolic activation. Previous data indicating the ability of CS-1246 to hydrolyze in aqueous media to generate formaldehyde (FA), led us to investigate the potential role of FA

EPA ToxValDB skin/eye data — endpoint: Skin Sensitization, classification: Sh. Caveat: this is an aggregated record; dose, species and route of exposure must be considered together.

Hazard claimView source →

EPA ToxValDB skin/eye data — endpoint: skin sensitisation: in vivo (non-LLNA), classification: Not likely to be sensitizing, species: guinea pig, study: skin sensitization, guideline: according to OECD Guideline 406 (Skin Sensitisation), year: 1991. Caveat: this is an aggregated record; dose, species and route of exposure must be considered together.

EPA ToxCast (high-throughput in vitro screening)1
Safety assessmentView source →

EPA ToxCast ER model: NO estrogen receptor activity found (AUC agonist=0, antagonist=0). Tested in 18 in vitro assays. Caveat: this is an in vitro screening model with no dose or exposure context; it does NOT mean an effect occurs in humans at cosmetic use levels.
