Limited information available.

Oral Developmental and reproductive toxicity studies were conducted in animals that were orally exposed to Propanediol, 1,4- Butanediol, Hexanediol, Methylpropanediol, and Butyl Ethyl Propanediol. In rat studies evaluating Propanediol at dose rates up to 1000 mg/kg/day, spermatogenic endpoints were unaffected (90-day exposure duration) 86 and no maternal (dosing on days 6-15 of gestation) or fetal toxic effects were observed (maternal and fetal NOAEL 1000 mg/kg/day). 11 In a mouse study evaluating 1,4- Butanediol at up to 600 mg/kg/day (dosing on days 6-15 of gestation), a maternal and developmental NOAEL of 100 mg/kg/day and a LOAEL of 300 mg/kg/day were reported; maternal central nervous system intoxication (300-600 mg/kg/day) and maternal and fetal body weight reduction (maternal 300-600 mg/kg/day) were observed.88 For male and female rats dosed with up to 800 mg/kg/day 1,4-Butanediol (14 days prior to mating and for females through day 3 of lactation), the following were reported: developmental NOEL of 400 mg/kg/day (pup weight slightly but statistically significantly decreased on lactation day 4 at 800 mg/kg/day, secondary to maternal reduction in body weight), parental transient hyperactivity (200 and 400 mg/kg/day) and reversible parental hypoactivity (‚â• 400 mg/kg/day), but no parental reproductive parameters were changed by treatment. 12,21 A Distributed for comment only — do not cite or quote maternal and developmental NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg/day was reported in animal studies on Hexanediol (rats dosed on days 6-19 of gestation)14 and for Methylpropanediol (rats dosed on days 0-20 of gestation; rabbits on days 0-29).31,32 In a rat study evaluating Butyl Ethyl Propanediol (up to 1000 mg/kg/day on days 6-19 of gestation), a maternal NOAEL of 150 mg/kg/day (reduced activity, staggering, limb dragging, slow respiration, and reduced food consumption/body weight at 1000 mg/kg dose) and a developmental NOAEL of 1000 mg/kg/day were reported.16
