Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The NOEL for Iosbornyl acetate (13 weeks ) was 15 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

Repeated dose toxicitystudy (oral route) of Isobornyl acetate was performed according to OECD guideline 408. The substance was dissolved in corn oil and administered daily to rats by stomach tube in doses: 0 (control), 15, 90 or 270 mg/kg body weight/day during 13 weeks. There were no differences between treated and control animals in the rate of body-weight gain, the food intake or the results of haematological investigations. In male rats given 270 mg/kg bw/day there was a decrease in renal concentrating ability, an increase in water intake, exfoliation of renal tubular cells, increased kidney weight and vacuolation of the renal tubular cells. Signs of nephrotoxicity were also seen with daily doses of 90 mg/kg bw/day.

Vacuolation of the epithelium of the intrahepatic bile-duct and increase in liver weights were found at 270 mg/kg bw/day. The caecum were also enlarged at this dosage level.

The no-effect level found was at 15 mg/kg bw/day.
