Danger |
H370 | P308+P311 P260 P264 P270 P321 P405 P501 |
This substance was used as the therapeutic drug for improvement of walking in multiple sclerosis. It blocks potassium channels and thereby increases acetylcholine and possibly noradrenaline release at nerve terminals. Although it has little effect on the autonomic nervous system or muscles, it produces major side effects on the central nervous system such as tremors, excitability, and convulsions (PATTY, 5th (2001)). It was reported that tonic-clonic convulsion occurred with symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and dizziness in one of two patients who ingested approx. 60 mg (HSDB (2010)). And it was reported that as acute poisoning symptoms by the substance, vellication, abdominal spasm, paresthesia of lower limbs, increased muscle tone, and confusion, etc. were noted (HSDB (2010)). Based on these documents in humans described above, the substance was classified as Category 1 (nervous system). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
9 | Specific target organ toxicity - Repeated exposure | Category 1 (nervous system) |
Danger |
H372 | P260 P264 P270 P314 P501 |
This substance was used as the therapeutic drug for improvement of walking in multiple sclerosis. It blocks potassium channels and thereby increases acetylcholine and possibly noradrenaline release at nerve terminals. Although it has little effect on the autonomic nervous system or muscles, it produces major side effects on the central nervous system such as tremors, excitability, and convulsions (PATTY, 5th (2001)). It was also reported that as side effects in humans who was ingested low levels of the substance (5 - 30 mg/day), oversensitiveness, dizziness, memory alteration, arterial vasospasm, and peripheral paresthesia were shown. And in the case of higher doses as an accidental poisoning, additional effects such as weakness, feeling impending doom, dyspnea, agitation, etc. were noted (EPA RED (2007)). Based on these documents about humans, the substance was classified as Category 1 (nervous system). | FY2010 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |

11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Short term (Acute) | Category 2 |
- |
H401 | P273 P501 |
It was classified in Category 2 from 96-hour LC50 = 2.4 mg/L for fish (Ictulurus punctutus) (EPA RED: 2007). | FY2018 | GHS Classification Guidance for the Japanese Government (FY2013 revised edition (Ver. 1.1)) |
11 | Hazardous to the aquatic environment Long term (Chronic) | Category 2 |
- |
H411 | P273 P391 P501 |
If chronic toxicity data are used, then it is classified as "Not classified" due to being not rapidly degradable (not readily degradable, a degradation rate by BOD: 0% (J-CHECK, 1981)), and 72-hour NOEC (growth rate) = 12 mg/L for algae (Pseudokirchneriella subcapitata) (Results of Aquatic Toxicity Tests of Chemicals conducted by Ministry of the Environment in Japan (Ministry of the Environment, 2018)). If acute toxicity data are used for a trophic level for which chronic toxicity data are not obtained, then it is classified in Category 2 due to being not rapidly degradable (not readily degradable, a degradation rate by BOD: 0% (J-CHECK, 1981)), and 96-hour LC50 = 2.4 mg/L for fish (Ictulurus punctutus) (EPA RED: 2007). From the above results, it was classified in Category 2. |
