Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Effects on fertility

Description of key information

Data on fertility and development is only available on the active pharmaceutical ingredient insulin aspart in connection with subcutaneous injections. The effects seen in relation to maternal toxicity, fertility and development are overall considered as a consequence of the hypoglycaemic mode of action of the substance and as secondary effects of the maternal toxicity.

Insulin aspart precusor is due to its spatial molecular structure not able to bind to the insulin receptor and thus will not induce hypoglycaemia.

Thus, the effects seen from subcutaneous injection of insulin aspart is not likely to occur in relation to oral, dermal or inhalational exposure to insulin aspart precusor.

Effects on developmental toxicity

Description of key information

Data on fertility and development is only available on the active pharmaceutical ingredient insulin aspart in connection with subcutaneous injections. The effects seen in relation to maternal toxicity, fertility and development are overall considered as a consequence of the hypoglycaemic mode of action of the substance and as secondary effects of the maternal toxicity.

Insulin aspart precusor is due to its spatial molecular structure not able to bind to the insulin receptor and thus will not induce hypoglycaemia.

Thus, the effects seen from subcutaneous injection of insulin aspart is not likely to occur in relation to oral, dermal or inhalational exposure to insulin aspart precusor.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Based on weight of evidence Insulin aspart precusor is not to be classified for reproductive toxicity according to the CLP-criteria.
