CAS#	Chemical Name	Percent	EINECS/ELINCS
66-81-9	Cycloheximide	95+	200-636-0

Section 3 - Hazards Identification

Appearance: white to beige powder.
Danger! May be fatal if swallowed. May cause harm to the unborn child. Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract irritation. Possible risks of irreversible effects. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment.
Target Organs: Blood, central nervous system, liver, spleen, respiratory system, eyes, skin.


Potential Health Effects
Eye: Causes eye irritation.
Skin: Causes skin irritation. May cause dermatitis. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion: May be fatal if swallowed. May cause gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. May cause central nervous system effects.
Inhalation: Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
Chronic: Repeated exposure may cause damage to the spleen. Chronic exposure may cause liver damage. Adverse reproductive effects have been reported in animals. Laboratory experiments have resulted in mutagenic effects. Chronic exposure may cause blood effects. Possible risk of irreversible effects. Possible risk of harm to the unborn child. In some animal studies, cycloheximide was toxic to the bone marrow, where blood cells are formed. The most common effect was anemia (a shortage of red blood cells). Whether the same effects occur in workers exposed to cycloheximide is uncertain.

Section 4 - First Aid Measures

Eyes: Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes, occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme diately.
Skin: Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion: POISON material. If swallowed, get medical aid immediately. Only induce vomiting if directed to do so by medical personnel. Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person.
Inhalation: Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Do not use mouth-to-mouth resuscitation if victim ingested or inhaled the substance; induce artificial respiration with the aid of a pocket mask equipped with a one-way valve or other proper respiratory medical device.
Notes to Physician: Treat symptomatically and supportively.

(See Exposure Controls, Personal Protection section). Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation. Do not let this chemical enter the environment.

Section 7 - Handling and Storage

Handling: Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Do not ingest or inhale. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Store in a tightly closed container.

Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection

Engineering Controls: Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use only under a chemical fume hood.
