Negative in Ames, in vitro chromosome aberration (human lymphocytes) and in vivo rat micronucleus assays
“Triheptanoin was not mutagenic in the Ames assay up to 4800 µg/plate, did not induce chromosomal aberration in vitro in human peripheral blood lymphocytes up to 409 µg/ml, and it was negative in the in vivo rat micronucleus assay at up to 2000 mg/kg/day.”
“Nonclinical animal studies evaluating long-term administration of triheptanoin have not been conducted to assess the carcinogenic potential of the drug.”

Rat and rabbit EFD: increased skeletal malformations and decreased litter weights at high dietary doses
“Administration of dietary triheptanoin to pregnant rats at doses approximately 2 times above, and pregnant rabbits approximately equal to the targeted clinical dose of 35% DCI resulted in increased incidence of skeletal malformations and decreased litter weights in both species and reduced number of viable litters in rabbits.”

Not genotoxic overall: Ames negative; in vitro chromosome aberration positive without (not with) metabolic activation; rat micronucleus and comet negative
