8 | Self-reactive substances and mixtures | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | It is a thiadiazol compound which contains neighboring nitrogen atoms, but does not correspond to azides, hydrazines, aliphatic azo compounds, diazonium salts, or sulfonyl hydrazides. Therefore, it does not correspond to self-reactive substances and mixtures. |

14 | Oxidizing solids | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | It is an organic compound which does not contain fluorine or chlorine but contains oxygen, and the oxygen is chemically bonded to the element other than carbon or hydrogen (S). However, the classification is not possible due to no data. |
15 | Organic peroxides | Not applicable |
- |
- | - | Organic compounds containing no bivalent -O-O- structure in the molecule |

1 | Acute toxicity (Oral) | Not classified |
- |
- | - | There is a report of an LD50 value of 3,000-6,000 mg/kg for mice (IPCS, PIM 005 (1995)), and it corresponds to "Not classified" (Category 5 in UN GHS classification) or "Not classified." By adopting the category with higher hazard, this substance was classified as "Not classified" (Category 5 in UN GHS classification). |

5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Classification not possible |
- |
- | - | Classification not possible due to lack of data. Besides, there are no in vivo data. As for in vitro, it was negative in a bacterial reverse mutation test (Brambilla and Martelli, Mutation Res., 209-229, 2009). However, this information is from PDR (Physicians' Desk Reference). |

This substance is a therapeutic drug for glaucoma, epilepsy, etc., and it is considered desirable not to administer it to women in early pregnancy or women suspected of being pregnant from the findings in animal experiments (described later) (Ethical Pharmaceuticals 2017 (2016)). In the experimental animals, this substance crosses the placenta, and it is reported that in a study in which 0.60% of this substance was administered by feeding to pregnant rats and pregnant mice during gestation periods, defects of the fourth and fifth digits from the right forelimb mainly occurred in fetuses (IPCS, PIM 005 (1995), HSDB (Access on August 2017)), and that in a test with pregnant rabbits orally dosed (50-150 mg/kg/day) during the organogenesis period (gestational day 6-18), increased incidence of skeletal malformations (increased incidence of malformations of the thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, defects of the vertebrae) were seen at doses where the maternal toxicity (decreased body weight gain, acidosis, electrolyte change) was manifested (HSDB (Access on August 2017)). From the above, since the application to pregnant women or women who may be pregnant is restricted based on the findings such as induction of the malformations in experimental animals, it was classified in Category 1B. |

As for humans, there are reports of a case of a person who died due to cholestatic jaundice, a case which showed lethal bone marrow depression with leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, and anemia, and a case with renal failure (anuria), etc. (IPCS, PIM 005 (1995)). In addition, headache, confusion, depression, irritability, nervousness, dizziness and ataxia are reported (IPCS, PIM 005 (1995)). From the above, it was classified in Category 1 (nervous system, liver, hematopoietic system, kidney). |
