Additional information

Three reports were provided to assess the developmental toxicity of Hydroxylamine hydrochloride.

In the report conducted by JOHN M. DESESSO et al, 2000, five structurally related hydroxylamine-bearing chemicals including hydroxylamine hydrochloride were administered at equimolar doses to rabbits either by subcutaneous (8.55 mmol/kg) or intracoelomic (2.66 mmol/embryo) injection on gestational day 12. Cellular debris was obvious in forelimb buds from embryos treated with the hydroxylamine-bearing compounds; however, none of the amino compounds produced an early episode of embryonic cell death

In this study (Shakuntala Chaube and M. Lois Murphy, 1966), 6- to 8-week-old pregnant Wistar rats were given single intraperitoneal injections on day 9, 10, 11 or 12 of pregnancy. Doses of 47 to 59.3 mg/kg were lethal to 8/12 dams. The embryotoxic effect was attributed to the maternal toxicity.

Another report published by Springer-verlag, 1994 draw a conclusion that Hydroxylamine hydrochloride had a very weak teratogenic effect after administration to chicken embryos on days 6 to 13 of incubation.

Limited data cannot provide enough information to determine the developmental toxicity of Hydroxylamine hydrochloride.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on the available data, it is inconclusive to implement the classification for the developmental toxicity of hydroxylamine hydrochloride.
