Safety and Handling
【Hazard Codes】
Xn:Harmful;
【Risk Statements】
R20/21/22
【Safety Statements 】
S36/37
【HazardClass】
8
【Safety】
Moderately toxic by intraperitoneal route. An experimental teratogen. Other experimental reproductive effects. Mutation data reported. Nitriles usually have cyanide-like effects. See also CYANIDE. Easily oxidized and unstable. A storage hazard; it polymerizes to an explosive yellow solid. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of CN− and NOx. For fire and explosion hazards see CYANIDE.

Biomedical Effects and Toxicity
【Therapeutic Uses】
EXPTL USE: ADMIN OF LYSYL OXIDASE INHIBITOR, BAPN, PREVENTED DEVELOPMENT OF HYPERTENSION & DECR AMT OF VASCULAR COLLAGEN IN RATS IN WHICH HYPERTENSION HAD BEEN INDUCED. HISTOLOGICAL EXAM REVEALED THAT ARTERIOSCLEROTIC CHANGES WERE PREVENTED BY BAPN. [OOSHIMA A; JPN CIRC J 41(8): 912 (1977)]
【Biomedical Effects and Toxicity】
BETA-AMINOPROPIONITRILE (BAPN) WAS FOUND IN URINE WITHIN 1 HR OF ORAL ADMIN. ORAL 250 MG BAPN AT 6 HR INTERVALS EACH DAY FOR 21 DAYS RESULTED IN URINARY BAPN RECOVERIES APPROXIMATING 16% OF TOTAL DOSE. BAPN WAS NOT DETECTED IN SPECIMENS COLLECTED LATER THAN 7 HR AFTER CESSATION OF BAPN DOSAGE. URINARY CYANOACETIC ACID APPEARED MORE SLOWLY THAN BAPN & INCR GRADUALLY TO APPROX 3 TIMES THAT OF URINARY BAPN. AFTER BAPN WAS DISCONTINUED, THERE WAS PROLONGED URINARY EXCRETION OF BAPN-DERIVED CYANOACETIC ACID. [FLEISHER JH ET AL; CLIN PHARMACOL THER 23(5): 520 (1978)] PubMed Abstract
AFTER APPLICATION TO THE SKIN OF RATS, (14)C-BAPN FREE BASE WAS ABSORBED MORE RAPIDLY AND TO A GREATER EXTENT THAN THE FUMARATE SALT. SIX HOURS AFTER TOPICAL ADMINISTRATION OF THE FREE BASE ONLY TRACES OF (14)C WERE FOUND ON THE SKIN AND LESS THAN 1% OF THE DOSE WITHIN THE SKIN SECTION SUGGESTING RAPID DRUG ABSORPTION. [FLEISHER JH ET AL; LIFE SCI 29(24): 2553 (1981)] PubMed Abstract
