1,3,5-Tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)isocyanuric acid was studied for oral toxicity in rats in a 28-day repeat dose toxicity test at doses of 0, 100, 300 and 1000 mg/kg.
No effects due to administration of the test substance were observed regarding clinical signs, body weights, food consumption, urinalysis, water consumption, hematological examination, blood chemical examination or pathological examination.
The NOEL is considered to be 1000 mg/kg/day for both sexes.
Genotoxicity of 1,3,5-tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)isocyanuric acid was studied by a reverse mutation test in bacteria. This substance was not mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA98, TA1535, TA1537 or Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA, with or without an exogenous metabolic activation system.
Genotoxicity of 1,3,5-tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)isocyanuric acid was studied by chromosomal aberration test in cultured Chinese hamster lung (CHL/IU) cells.
1,3,5-Tris(3,5-di-tert-butyl-4-hydroxybenzyl)isocyanuric acid did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations under the present test conditions, but induced polyploidy in the absence of S9 mix.
