چکیده
Four fragrances, 6-acetyl-1,1,2,4,4,7-hexamethyltetraline (AHTN), 1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydro-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethylcyclopenta-gamma-2-ben zopyran (HHCB), musk ketone and musk xylene were tested for developmental toxicity in Sprague-Dawley rats (25/group, 3 groups/fragrance, 2 fragrances/corn oil control). Dosages tested were HHCB: 50, 150, 500 mg/kg per day; AHTN: 5, 15, 50 mg/kg per day; musk ketone: 15, 45, 150 mg/kg per day; musk xylene: 20, 60, 200 mg/kg per day. All dosages tested exceeded multiples of the estimated maximal daily human dermal exposure. Treatment (gavage, 5 ml/kg) occurred on GDs 7-17 and Caesarean-sectioning on GD 20. Based on the results of these studies, none of the four fragrances tested were more toxic in the conceptuses than in the dams. Maternal NOAELs were 50, 5, 15 and 20 mg/kg per day for HHCB, AHTN, musk ketone and musk xylene, respectively (150, 50, 45 and 60 mg/kg per day caused clinical signs and reduced weight gain and feed consumption). Developmental NOAELs were 150, 50, 45 and 200 mg/kg per day for HHCB, AHTN, musk ketone and musk xylene, respectively. No adverse effects on embryo-fetal viability, growth or morphology occurred at the highest dosages of AHTN (50 mg/kg per day) or musk xylene (200 mg/kg per day). Developmental toxicity occurred at the high-dosages of HHCB (axial skeletal malformations at 500 mg/kg per day) and musk ketone (increased postimplantation loss and reduced fetal body weight at 150 mg/kg per day). The results of this study indicate that under conditions of normal use, the tested fragrances do not pose a risk to human conceptuses.

The Publisher wishes to appologise that the dosages of HHCB and AHTN were listed incorrectly in the above article. Page 173, left column, lines 11 to 21 should correctly read: Based on estimated maximal daily dermal dosages of 0.11 mg/kg/day of HHCB and 0.043 mg/kg/day of AHTN and 0.025 mg/kg/day of musk ketone and 0.014 mg/kg/day of musk xylene in humans (unpublished industry survey), the mate...

متن کاملStudy on Acute and Subchronic Toxicity, Cytotoxicity and In Vitro Developmental Toxicity of Safflower Extracts of “IL 111” and “LRV 51 51” Cultivars
Toxic and direct teratogenic potential of two dominant Iranian cultivars of Carthamus tinctorius (safflower), floret extracts, IL 111 and LRV 51 51, were investigated. The extracts are commonly used in foods and medicinal products. Neither death nor alteration of stereotype activities was observed with IL 111 and LRV 51 51 extracts up to 17 g/kg in 48 h in mice and rats....
متن کاملA toxicological and dermatological assessment of aryl alkyl alcohols when used as fragrance ingredients.
The aryl alkyl alcohol (AAA) fragrance ingredients are a diverse group of chemical structures with similar metabolic and toxicity profiles. The AAA fragrances demonstrate low acute and subchronic dermal and oral toxicity. No carcinogenicity in rats or mice was observed in 2-year chronic testing of benzyl alcohol or α-methylbenzyl alcohol; the latter did induce species and gender-specific renal ...
