Additional information

- Carcinogenicity, oral:

There is no data on Reaction mass of isomenthone and trans-menthone

According to reliable chronic (103-week) repeated dose toxicity studies in rat and mouse, the NOAEL for the read-across compound LD-menthol was not identified, since at the highest intake dose no adverse effect was observed, i.e at 375 mg/kg bw/day (370 mg/kg bw/day for Isomenthone and Trans-menthone) in rat and at 667 mg/kg bw/day (658 mg/kg bw/day for isomenthone and Transmenthone) in mouse.


Justification for selection of carcinogenicity via oral route endpoint:
A reliable chronic oral toxicity study with the substance is available, which revealed that the substance is not carcinogenic to rats.
