- not examined
- Water consumption and compound intake (if drinking water study):
- not examined
- Ophthalmological findings:

No significant changes in hematocrit value and hemoglobin content (males/females), reticulocyte count and the histopathological examination of bone marrow; spleen did not show any changes related to hematological changes. Therefore, all the changes in the erythrocyte were considered by the authors to occur accidentally. - Clinical biochemistry findings:

Females changes (A/G ratio, albumin, chloride) were not dose-dependent and therefore considered not to be test substance related.
Male changes (A/G ratio, inorganic phosphorus) were - although statistically significant - considered to be of no toxicological relevance because their were only marginal in magnitude, not observed in females or changes noted in females were reciprocal in nature. - Urinalysis findings:

- Testes: single animal findings (very slight granulation tissue in the seminiferous tubule interstitium in 1 animal at 500 mg/kg bw/day; 1 animal of control and 1 animal of 100 mg/kg bw/d showed very slight atrophy in the seminiferous tubule). None of these abnormalities was deemed to cause a failure of conception.

- Conclusions:
- The Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction / Developmental Screening Test (OECD 422) with the source substance anisaldehyde (CAS 123-11-5) was was considered for read-across as key study to cover the endpoint of repeated dose toxicity.
The read across approach is justified in the analogue justification. The target and source substances are considered unlikely to differ in their repeated dose toxicity potential.
In this oral OECD 422 study in rats, doses levels of 20, 100 and 500 mg/kg bw/day anisaldehyde were tested. No adverse systemic findings were noted in this OECD 422 study in rats. The noted findings on local irritation of the forestomach are not considered relevant for humans. Therefore, a NOAEL for repeated dose toxicity after oral exposure was set at 500 mg/kg bw/day and is also considered relevant for the target substance sodium anisate (CAS 536-45-8).

Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed
- Dose descriptor:
- NOAEL
- 500 mg/kg bw/day
- Study duration:
- subacute
- Species:
- rat
- Quality of whole database:
- The available information comprises an adequate and reliable study (Klimisch score 1) from a surrogate substance with similar structure and intrinsic properties. Read-across is justified based on (bio)transformation to common compound(s) (refer to endpoint discussion for further details). The selected study is thus sufficient to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VII, 8.5, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006.

Mode of Action Analysis / Human Relevance Framework
In the absence of any evidence for species specific effects or modes of action (beside changes in the forestomach) the effects observed in animals and the absence of effects are regarded as relevant for humans.
Additional information
Justification for read-across
There are no data available on repeated dose toxicity of sodium anisate (CAS 536-45-8) or on p-anisic acid (CAS 100-09-4). In order to fulfil the standard information requirements set out in Annex VIII - IX, 8.6, in accordance with Annex XI, 1.5, of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, read-across from a structurally related substance was conducted. In accordance with Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, "information on intrinsic properties of substances may be generated by means other than tests, provided that the conditions set out in Annex XI are met.”In particular for human toxicity, information shall be generated whenever possible by means other than vertebrate animal tests, which includes the use of information from structurally related substances (grouping or read-across) “to avoid the need to test every substance for every endpoint”. For each specific endpoint the source substance(s) structurally closest to the target substance is/are chosen for read-across, with due regard to the requirements of adequacy and reliability of the available data. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID section 13).
Repeated dose toxicity: oral
A reliable oral Combined Repeated Dose Toxicity Study with the Reproduction/Developmental Toxicity Screening Test with anisaldehyde (CAS 123-11-5) is available and was performed according to OECD 422 (Hatano Research Institute, 2000) and in compliance with GLP. Groups of 13 male and 13 female Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed to the test substance at dose levels of 20, 100 and 500 mg/kg bw/day by oral gavage once daily for 7 days/week for at least 42 (males) and 40 (females) consecutive days. Control animals (13 per sex and dose) received the concurrent vehicle, corn oil, only. Observations and examinations of the animals included clinical signs, body weight, food consumption, haematology, clinical chemistry, urinalysis, organ weights, gross necropsy, organ weights and histopathology. No mortality was observed and except for transient salivation noted in most high dose animals no clinical signs were noted. Body weights and food consumption was marginally increased in mid and high dose males and in high dose females. These findings were not considered adverse. Platelet count was slightly although statistically significantly decreased in high dose males and mid and high dose females. In the absence of any effects on coagulation times this finding was considered to be of no toxicological relevance. Red blood cell count was significantly decreased in mid and high dose males. However, as no significant changes in hematocrit value and hemoglobin content, reticulocyte count and the histopathological examination of bone marrow were seen and the spleen did not show any changes related to hematological changes, these changes were considered to have occurred incidentally. Absolute and relative liver weights were increased in high dose males and females. However, histopathology revealed only very slight to slight centrilobular hypertrophy of hepatocytes, which is considered an adaptive rather than an adverse effect. During necropsy black spots or black deposits in the glandular stomach as well as thickening of the forestomach mucosa were noted in a few high dose males and mid and high dose females. Histopathology revealed no changes in the glandular stomach but squamous cell hyperplasia in the forestomach of all high dose animals and also in the forestomach for 3 male and 5 female mid dose animals. In the absence of adverse systemic effects, a NOAEL of 500 mg/kg bw/day for systemic toxicity was derived, whereas a NOAEL of 20 mg/kg bw/day for local effects was derived based on stomach irritation noted at 100 mg/kg bw/day and above. Histopathological stomach findings were limited to the forestomach, an organ that has no human correlate. Therefore, these effects were considered to have no relevance for humans and do not warrant a classification of the source substance. Accordingly, based on read across, also classification of the the target substance is not warranted.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on short-term repeated dose toxicity as available from an OECD 422 study conducted with the source substance anisaldehyde (CAS 123-11-5) do not indicate adverse effects up to and including 500 mg/kg bw/day (the highest dose tested). Therefore, no adverse effects are expected for the target substance at doses up to and including 500 mg/kg bw/day. Therefore and based on read across, classification of sodium anisate with respect to repeated dose exposure is not warranted according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
