1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Category 2 |
Danger |
H300 | P301+P310 P264 P270 P321 P330 P405 P501 |
Based on a LD50 value of 30 mg/kg bw for rats (IARC vol. 26 (1981)), the substance was classified into Category 2. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
1 | Acute toxicity (Dermal) | Classification not possible |

- |
- | - | No data available. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
2 | Skin corrosion/irritation | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. Although there is a report that the substance caused burns in case of accidental contact with the skin (JAPIC prescription drug data (2010)), the details are not clear. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
3 | Serious eye damage/eye irritation | Classification not possible |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H341 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
Based on a positive result in a mouse bone marrow micronucleus test (in vivo mutagenicity test) (IARC vol. 26 (1981)), the substance was classified into Category 2. As relevant information, from in vitro mutagenicity tests, there are reports of a positive bacteria mutagenicity tests and a positive cell chromosomal aberration tests (IARC vol. 26 (1981)). | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
6 | Carcinogenicity | Category 1B |
Danger |
H350 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
Based on the classification of "Group 2A" in IARC (IARC suppl. 7 (1987)) and classification of "R" in NTP (NTP RoC 11th (2004)), the substance was classified into Category 1B. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
7 | Reproductive toxicity | Category 1B |
Danger |
H360 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
When treated male rats were mated with untreated female rats, the number of implantations and viable fetuses on day 20 of gestation were significantly decreased. When rats were treated on days 6 - 9 of pregnancy, eye and central nervous system defects occurred in fetuses (IARC vol. 26 (1981)). Since these abnormalities were observed at dose levels at which no maternal toxicity was manifested (RTECS (2009)), the substance was classified into Category 1B. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
8 | Specific target organ toxicity - Single exposure | Category 1 (bone marrow) |
Danger |
H370 | P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501 |
Since the substance can cause myelosuppression (thrombocytopenia, leukopenia) in humans as a major side effect (JAPIC prescription drug book (2010)), the substance was classified into Category 1 (bone marrow). | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (bone marrow, respiratory organs, kidney) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
Based on a report that the substance can cause myelosuppression, pulmonary infiltration, pulmonary fibrosis and adverse effects on the kidney in humans as major side effects (JAPIC prescription drug book (2010)), the substance was classified into Category 1 (bone marrow, respiratory system, kidney). As relevant information, the effects on the liver such as increased blood ALP and bilirubin level were reported in low incidence. | FY2009 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (March, 2009) |
