Andarine Andarine (S-4), selective androgen receptor modulator · CAS 401900-40-1
Substance classification adopted: Eye irrit. 2A · H319 Repr. 2 · H361
Eye irritation per Cayman Chemical and TCI SDSs; Reproductive toxicity Category 2 self-classified (SARM class).
| Acute toxicity, oral | No data available |
|---|---|
| Acute toxicity, dermal | No data available |
| Acute toxicity, inhalation | No data available |
| Skin corrosion/irritation | No irritant effect (Cayman) |
| Serious eye damage/irritation | Irritating effect (Cayman) - basis of H319 |
| Respiratory or skin sensitisation | No sensitizing effects known |
| Germ cell mutagenicity | No data available |
| Carcinogenicity | Not listed by IARC, NTP or OSHA |
| Reproductive toxicity | No data available on SDS (see notes - SARM) |
| STOT, single exposure | No data available |
| STOT, repeated exposure | No data available |
| Aspiration hazard | No data available |
- Selective androgen receptor modulator (SARM). No supplier SDS assigns a reproductive classification, but SARMs act on the androgen receptor, suppress gonadotropins and spermatogenesis in animal and human studies and are prohibited at all times under WADA class S1.2. PrymaLab therefore self-classifies the substance as Reproductive toxicity Category 2 (H361) by expert judgement.
Mixture classification: the ingredient classifications above were combined using the additivity and cut-off rules of OSHA HCS 2012 Appendix A (acute toxicity estimate calculation; 10% cut-off for skin and eye irritation; 0.1% for carcinogenicity, reproductive toxicity and respiratory sensitisation; 1.0% for skin sensitisation and STOT; 20% for respiratory tract irritation).
Carcinogen listings: no ingredient is listed as a carcinogen by IARC, NTP or OSHA.
12Ecological information
Andarine: No ecotoxicity data available. Cayman water hazard class 1 (self-assessment): slightly hazardous for water. Do not allow to reach groundwater or sewage.
Persistence and degradability: peptides and amino acids are expected to biodegrade readily; benzyl alcohol is readily biodegradable (92–96% in 14 days, OECD 301C). Bioaccumulative potential: low (hydrophilic, log Pow < 3 where known). Mobility in soil: water-soluble; mobile. PBT/vPvB: not expected to meet the criteria. Other adverse effects: none known. Do not release concentrated material to the environment.
13Disposal considerations
Dispose of unused material and contaminated packaging through a licensed chemical-waste contractor in accordance with federal (40 CFR 261), state and local regulations; the material is not a listed RCRA hazardous waste but is classified as hazardous for supply and should be managed as chemical waste. Do not pour down the drain. Small residues may be inactivated with 10% bleach for 30 minutes before disposal where local rules allow. Empty glass vials and cartridges: remove labels or deface them before recycling or disposal.

16Other information
| Revision | Revision 1.0, October 3, 2026 — first issue. Prepared by PrymaLab Analytical, PrymaLab LLC. |
|---|---|
| Classification method | Calculated from the ingredient classifications (Section 3) with the OSHA HCS 2012 Appendix A mixture rules; ingredient classifications were adopted from the supplier safety data sheets listed below with the PrymaLab policy adjustments stated in Section 11. Policy: Cayman Chemical is the primary reference for research peptides and novel small molecules and Sigma-Aldrich/Merck for commodity chemicals; a more conservative manufacturer or ECHA classification is adopted where internally consistent; SARMs, GLP-1 receptor agonists, GnRH analogues and gonadotropins carry reproductive-toxicity classifications by expert judgement. Concentrations of the active in the capsule contents are calculated for a nominal fill weight of 400 mg; the classification of the pure active substance is given in Section 11 for the case where capsule contents are handled as a powder. |
