Safety & Regulations

GHS classificationWarningH315 (100%): Causes skin irritation [Warning Skin corrosion/irritation]P264, P264+P265, P280, P302+P352, P305+P351+P338, P321, P332+P317, P337+P317, and P362+P364 (click each P-code to see the statement)Aggregated GHS information provided per 39 reports by companies from 2 notifications to the ECHA C&L Inventory. Each notification may be associated with multiple companies.
Regulatory informationHexanedioic acid, 2-oxo-: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard
Hazard Classes and CategoriesSkin Irrit. 2 (100%)
Health effectsChronically high levels of oxoadipic acid are associated with at least 2 inborn errors of metabolism including: 2-aminoadipic and 2-oxoadipic aciduria.
Toxicity summaryIn the matrix of mitochondria, 2-oxoadipate is decarboxylated to glutaryl-CoA by the 2-oxoadipate dehydrogenase complex and then converted to acetyl-CoA. Accumulation of oxoadipic acid in the body has been shown to be toxic.
Carcinogen ClassificationNo indication of carcinogenicity to humans (not listed by IARC).
