However, since this substance belongs to dinitrophenol derivative compounds, it was classified in Category 1 (central nervous system, cardiovascular system) based on (1) and (2). The category was changed from the precious classification by the use of new information sources. [Evidence Data] (1) There were descriptions as follows: the toxic effects of dinitrophenol derivatives are attributed to an increase in the basal metabolic rate due to uncoupling of the oxidative phosphorylation, resulting in an increase in the body temperature, and effects on the cardiovascular system and central nervous system; typical symptoms after poisoning include nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, elevated body temperature, strong thirst, sweating, weakness, facial reddening, restlessness, muscular cramps, dyspnea, heart rhythm disturbances (tachycardia) (GESTIS (Access on October 2019), HSDB (Access on October 2019)). (2) There was a description that the above effects were also to be expected following exposure to this substance (GESTIS (Access on October 2019)).

9	Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure	Category 1 (eye), Category 2 (liver)	Danger Warning	H372 H373	P260 P264 P270 P314 P501	[Rationale for the Classification] Based on (1) and (2), it was classified in Category 1 (eye), Category 2 (liver). [Evidence Data] (1) Since cataract induction was observed in patients treated orally with 2,4-dinitrophenol (CAS RN 51-28-5), the structural analog compound, for therapiutic use, the possibility of causing cataracts was suggested for this substance as well (IRIS (1988)). (2) A slightly cloudy swelling (liver) was observed at 0.1% (27-100 mg/kg/day, within the range of Category 2) in a repeated dose toxicity test with rats by feeding for 6 months (IRIS (1988)).
