Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil (equivalence to cosmetic material not confirmed)In a combined repeated dose and reproduction/developmental study, Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil (100, 300, or 1000 mg/mL; 4 mL/kg in corn oil) was administered by gavage to Crl:CD(SD) rats (n = 10/sex).4 The study was conducted in accordance with OECD GL 422. [For results related to short-term toxicity, see Short-Term Toxicity Studies] There were no adverse effects detected in reproductive assessments on estrous cycles, mating performance and fertility, gestation length and parturition observations, and reproductive performance. There were no significant effects of the Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil on litter size, offspring survival indices or sex ratio. The bodyweight of offspring at birth was similar to that of the control group. However, body weight gains of male and female offspring in the 1000 mg/kg/day groupwere low (approximately 27% to 28% lower than the control group), and by day 4 after parturition absolute bodyweight of this group was also significantly lower than that of the control group. At microscopic examination, there were no findings attributed to treatment for offspring examined before or at the end of the experiment. A slightly high incidence of cold to touch was observed in litters in the 1000 mg/kg/day group. Under the test condition, the NOAEL for the females was considered to be 300 mg/kg/day for systemic toxicity, based on lower body weight gain and feed consumption during gestation. The authors stated that both findings appeared to be associated with pregnancy status. It was not possible to link this effect to the taste of the substance since females had shown a significant duration of normal bodyweight and feed performance prior to Day 6 of gestation and after birth of the pups. These latter observations appeared to indicate recovery in females. The NOAEL for developmental toxicity was 300 mg/kg/day, which was based on lower offspring bodyweight gain, and clinical signs (pups cold to touch) that were only observed in the 1000 g/kg/day group. This effect may be associated with test material entering the milk. The authors note that fat soluble test materials have a higher chance of becoming incorporated in the milk and Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil is fat soluble. A NOAEL at 300 mg/kg/d was determined for systemic effects in the offspring based on the magnitude of the weight reduction, which was quite high. The effects on offspring body weight were not selective and have been observed at a dose producing maternal toxicity, and therefore the substance was not considered to be a selective reproductive toxicant. The NOAEL for reproductive toxicity was 1000 mg/kg/day, since no adverse effects were observed.
