Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Additional information

Toxicity hazard data is available for 4 -aminopyridine (4AP) as a structural analogue of DMAP, and is provided in summary form by the European Medicines Agency (EMEA), 2011. All studies were performed according to ICH guidelines and GLP, and so have a Klimisch validity score of 1. In a 26 week subchronic study in rats by the dietary route, chosen by EMEA as the pivotal study, the NOAEL is given as < 2 mg/kg bw/d due to lack of body weight gain. Effects of higher doses involved CNS effects such as tremor, convulsions, ataxia, decreased activity, increased respiratory rate and labored breathing; kidney and urinary tract obstruction, and decreased body weight. A NOAEL of 1.0 mg/kg bw/d is chosen for the point of departure for calculation of the DNEL. This is an arbitrary choice for a NOAEL of less than 2 mg/kg bw/d, sufficiently precautionary, which is consistent with other conclusions of EMEA in their review of 4AP.


Justification for selection of repeated dose toxicity via oral route - systemic effects endpoint:
experimental result on a structural analogue

Justification for classification or non-classification

The repeated dose toxicity findings of the analogue, 4AP, do not meet the criteria for STOT-RE in Regulation EC No. 1272/2008.
