Cobaltous 2-ethylhexanoate (cobalt octoate) is an accelerator in the polyester resins. There have been several reports of allergic contact dermatitis resulting from cobaltous 2-ethylhexanoate. It was demonstrated, that cobalt octoate induced DNA strand breakage in vitro (in human cells), but the damage appeared to be explained by oxidative damage resulting from reactive oxygen species, probably caused by the cobalt cation.

In Vitro Use Guide

Following a 4 h exposure of A549 cells to both AAF and Gamble's solution extracts of cobalt octoate, DCFH was oxidised resulting in a strong increase of DCF fluorescence (up to 949% in AAF and 725% in Gamble's solution). Metabolic activity and DNA content were reduced after incubation with high concentrations of cobalt octoate (400 and 800 ug/mL, particulate fractions). Here, ROS formation was already observed at non-cytotoxic concentrations (<400 ug/mL) of cobalt octanoate.
