Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.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

Justification for classification or non-classification

There are no studies to the carcinogenicity of hydroxy-estrenon (ZK 5252) available. However, ZK 5252 has a steroid-like structure.It has to be taken into account that steroids in general can promote the growth of specific hormone depedent tissues and tumors.

ZK 5252 has a structural similarity to nandrolone (ZK 5221) and will in vivo be transformed to ZK 5221, which is classified according to German legislation (TRGS-905) for anabolic steroids as carc. 2 and is classified with category 2 according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).

Based on read across to nandrolone (ZK 5221), ZK 5252 is classified with category 2 according to Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 (CLP).

Additional information

No carcinogenicity studies are available for hydroxy-estrenon (ZK 5252). However, ZK 5252 has a structural similarity to nandrolone (ZK 5221). Only the position of one double bond differs between both substances. But the isomerisation of this double bond from 5,10 -position to 4,5 -position will easily occur in vivo. Therefore, a close effect relationship between ZK 5252 and ZK 5221 has to be assumed in vivo. These information were described in an internal communication by N. Schmees to A. Klaus (3. Jun 2016).
