Executive summary:

Subchronic repeated dose oral toxicity study was performed to determine toxic nature of the test chemical. The study was performed using 5 male and 5 female rats at dose level of 0, 2150, 3160, 4600, 6800, 10,000, 14,700 or 21,600 ppm (0, 215, 316, 460, 680, 1000, 1470 or 2160 mg/Kg). The rats were given treated feed for 7 weeks and untreated feed for 1 week; controls were fed control diet for 8 weeks. Body weights and feed consumption for all rats were measured twice weekly, At the end of the study, all surviving rats were sacrificed for necropsy. The mean body weight gain for males of the 4600 ppm dose group was 4% less than that of the control group. Female rats in the same dose group had a 4% increase in body weight gain when compared with the controls. At a dietary concentration of 6800 ppm, the mean body weight gain for males was 9% less than the controls; it was 1 % less for females of the 6800 ppm group when compared to the controls. No deaths occurred in any dosed group. One female control rat died on study. Based on the observations made, the No observed Adverse Effect level (NOAEL) for the test chemical is considered to be 316 mg/Kg bw.

Executive summary:

In a chronic toxicity oral study, test substance was evaluated in male and female Osborne-Mendel rats where the test chemical was administered by diet at concentration of 0, 1000, 2500 or 10000 ppm (0, 5, 125 or 500 mg/kg body weight). No effects were noted when the rats were exposed to 2500 ppm (125 mg/kg body weight) while treatment with 10000 ppm (500 mg/kg body weight) resulted in slight hepatic cell swelling and slight hyperkeratosis of squamous portion of the stomach. Therefore, the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) was considered to be 125 mg/kg body weight when test chemical were administered by diet to male and female Osborne-Mendel rats for 16 weeks.

Executive summary:

Data available for the various test chemicals was reviewed to determine the toxic nature of the test chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:

Subchronic repeated dose oral toxicity study was performed to determine toxic nature of the test chemical. The study was performed using 5 male and 5 female rats at dose level of 0, 2150, 3160, 4600, 6800, 10,000, 14,700 or 21,600 ppm (0, 215, 316, 460, 680, 1000, 1470 or 2160 mg/Kg). The rats were given treated feed for 7 weeks and untreated feed for 1 week; controls were fed control diet for 8 weeks. Body weights and feed consumption for all rats were measured twice weekly, At the end of the study, all surviving rats were sacrificed for necropsy. The mean body weight gain for males of the 4600 ppm dose group was 4% less than that of the control group. Female rats in the same dose group had a 4% increase in body weight gain when compared with the controls. At a dietary concentration of 6800 ppm, the mean body weight gain for males was 9% less than the controls; it was 1 % less for females of the 6800 ppm group when compared to the controls. No deaths occurred in any dosed group. One female control rat died on study. Based on the observations made, the No observed Adverse Effect level (NOAEL) for the test chemical is considered to be 316 mg/Kg bw.

In another study, Chronic toxicity oral study for the test compound cinnamic aldehyde was studied in male and female Osborne-Mendel rats. The test compound was fed through the diet at a concentration of 0, 100, 2500 or 10000 ppm (0, 5, 125 or 500 mg/Kg bw). No effects were noted on microscopic examination at 125 mg/KG bw. Slight hepatic cell swelling was noted and slight hyperkeratosis of squamous portion of the stomach at a dose level of 500 mg/Kg bw. The No observed Adverse Effect Level (NOAEL) for the test compound cinnamaic aldehyde in Osborne-

Mendel rats is found to be 125 mg/Kg bw.

Based on the observations made, the No observed Adverse Effect level (NOAEL) for the test chemical is considered to be 316 mg/Kg bw.
