Becker, M.S. Scientific Analyst and Writer Date: May 11, 2018 Subject: Safety Assessment of Eucalyptus globulus (Eucalyptus)-Derived Ingredients As Used In Cosmetics Attached is the Draft Final Report of Eucalyptus globulus (Eucalyptus)-derived ingredients as used in cosmetics. [eucaly062018rep] The source for all of these ingredients is the leaf of the plant; one ingredient is obtained from the twigs as well. In March 2018, the Panel issued a Tentative Report with the conclusion that these 6 ingredients are safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment when formulated to be non-sensitizing. No new data have been discovered or submitted since the Tentative Report was announced. The data that were submitted in Wave 2 and Wave 3 prior to the March 2018 meeting have been incorporated into the report and highlighted in yellow. This includes data on Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Extract (characterization, method of manufacture, and chemical/physical properties), Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil (animal and human dermal irritation, human ocular irritation, and human sensitization), and eucalyptol (acute dermal toxicity and dermal irritation in rabbits). ADME data on eucalyptol from the rosemary report were also added. Also included in this Panel book are the flow chart [eucaly062018flow] history of this report [eucaly062018hist], the data profile [eucaly062018prof], the search strategy [eucaly062018strat], transcripts [eucaly062018min], FDA’s VCRP data [eucaly062018FDA], and Council comments [eucaly062018pcpc_1,2]. The Panel should carefully review the Abstract, Discussion, and Conclusion of this report. If these are satisfactory, the Panel should issue a Final Report. __________________________________________________________________________________________ 1620 L Street, NW Suite 1200, Washington, DC 20036 (Main) 202-331-0651 (Fax) 202-331-0088 (Email) [email protected] (Website) www.cir-safety.org Distributed For Comment Only -- Do Not Cite or Quote SAFETY ASSESSMENT FLOW CHART INGREDIENT/FAMILY __ Eucalyptus globulus (Eucalyptus) -derived ingredients _________________ MEETING ___June 2018________________________________________________________________ Public Comment CIR Expert Panel Report Status Priority List INGREDIENT PRIORITY LIST SLR Oct 5, 2017 DRAFT REPORT Dec 2017 Draft Report 60 day public comment period Table Table IDA TR IDA Notice IDA Dec 8, 2017 DRAFT TENTATIVE REPORT Mar 2018 Draft TR Table Table Tentative Report Issue TR Mar 16, 2018 Draft FR DRAFT FINAL REPORT June 2018 60 day Public comment period Table Table Different Conclusion Issue PUBLISH Final Report FR Distributed For Comment Only -- Do Not Cite or Quote HISTORY – Eucalyptus globulus-Derived Ingredients 2016 – Eucalyptus globulus added to the priority list. October, 2017 – SLR posted with the following data request: The CIR is seeking, at a minimum, the following information on Eucalyptus globulus-derived cosmetic ingredients for use in the resulting safety assessment: 1. dermal irritation and sensitization data on Eucalyptus globulus-derived ingredients, for which such data were not available; 2. because these ingredients are botanicals and composition and extraction methods vary, specific chemical composition data, as well as the extraction solvent used for each cosmetic product being tested, should be included with all data that are submitted; 3. clarification of the definition of Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil, which states that the oil may be sourced from other Eucalyptus species [Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil is the volatile oil obtained from the leaves of Eucalyptus globulus and other species of Eucalyptus.] December, 2017 – The Panel examined the Draft Report and issued an IDA. The data needs were: • Sensitization on Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil at 5.5% or greater • Impurity data on all ingredients • Margin of safety (MOS) calculations for inhalation and dermal exposure using the Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil and/or the major constituent, eucalyptol (1,8-cineole) The Panel decided not to add Eucalyptol to the report but to add the information that was supplied in the December Memo to the report as supporting information. March, 2018 – Impurity data and an HRIPT at 0.5% Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil were submitted. The other data needs have not been addressed. Does the supporting information on Eucalyptol and the new data meet the Panel’s needs? Wave 2 - The Council updated the concentration of use data. The maximum use concentration of Eucalyptus Globulus Leaf Oil in body and hand preparations (not spray) was corrected from 5.5% to 0.1%. Therefore, the highest maximum concentration for leave-on use (with dermal contact) is now 0.4%. The Panel reviewed the report and come to the conclusion that these Eucalyptus-derived ingredients are safe in cosmetics in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment when formulated to be non-sensitizing and issued a Tentative Report. June, 2018 – Wave 2 and 3 data from March were incorporated into the report. The Panel should review the report and review the Abstract, Discussion, and Introduction to ensure that they reflect the Panel’s thinking. The Panel should issue a Final Report.

We have a draft tentative report dated February 9th of this year. In December of last year, the panel issued an insufficient data announcement on Lillian’s memo. The three needs were elucidated sensitization, impurity, and margin of safety calculations, which Ron Hill wanted. I just wanted to confirm, Lillian, that on wave two we now have that the highest concentration is 0.4 percent for the leaf oil? MS. BECKER: Correct. DR. MARKS: Okay. Ron and Tom, do you prefer to comment before you’re influenced by Ron Shank, or do you want me to read Ron Shank’s comments first? DR. SLAGA: Well, we have some data. If we followed suite like we have done on some other botanicals, I could go with being formulated to be non-sensitizing. DR. MARKS: That’s what I have. Safe when formulated to be non-sensitizing. And we have this safety for sensitization now since the highest concentration of leaf oil is 0.4. We, in wave two, got more method of manufacture and impurities data. It looks like Ron Shank agrees with that. The bottom line -- well, he said conclusion -- four possible conclusions.

  • Adverse Effects of Xenogenic Scaffolding in the Context of A
    Lamas et al. Trials (2019) 20:387 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13063-019-3504-3 RESEARCH Open Access Adverse effects of xenogenic scaffolding in the context of a randomized double-blind placebo-controlled study for repairing full- thickness rotator cuff tears José Ramón Lamas1†, Carlos García-Fernández2, Pilar Tornero-Esteban1, Yaiza Lópiz2, Luis Rodriguez-Rodriguez1, Luis Ortega3, Benjamín Fernández-Gutiérrez1*† and Fernando Marco2† Abstract Purpose: The purpose of the study was to compare the safety and efficacy of autologous mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) embedded in a xenogenic scaffold for repairing the supraspinatus tendon. Methods: This was a randomized, double-blind and placebo-controlled trial evaluating patients with full-thickness rotator cuff tears (Eudra-CT, 2007–007630-19). Effectiveness was evaluated using the Constant score and a visual analogue pain scale (VAS). Constant score has four domains including pain (15 possible points), activities of daily living (20 possible points), mobility (40 possible points), and strength (25 possible points). Scores range from 0 points (most disability) to 100 points (least disability). The structural integrity of the repaired tendon was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) according to Patte and Thomazeau classification criteria. The primary study end point was an improvement in the Constant score by 20 points at one year compared to initial assessment. Results: The trial was stopped due to adverse effects observed in both groups. Only thirteen patients were included and analyzed. The Constant questionnaire showed a significant improvement in the MSC treatment group compared with the preoperative data (p = 0.0073). Secondary outcome measures were similar in both groups.

Eucalypts contained volatile oils which occurred in many parts of the plant, depending on the species, but in the leaves that oils were most plentiful. The main constituent of the volatile oil derived from fresh leaves of Eucalyptus species was 1,8-cineole. The reported content of 1,8-cineole varies for 54-95%. The most common constituents co-occurring with 1,8- cineole were limonene, α-terpineol, monoterpenes, sesquiterpenes, globulol and α , β and ϒ-eudesmol, and aromatic constituents. The pharmacological studies revealed that Eucalypts possessed gastrointestinal, antiinflammatory, analgesic, antidiabetic, antioxidant, anticancer, antimicrobial, antiparasitic, insecticidal, repellent, oral and dental, dermatological, nasal and many other effects. The current review highlights the chemical constituents and pharmacological and therapeutic activities of Eucalyptus species grown in Iraq. Keywords: Eucalyptus species, constituents, pharmacological, therapeutic I. INTRODUCTION: In the last few decades there has been an exponential growth in the field of herbal medicine. It is getting popularized in developing and developed countries owing to its natural origin and lesser side effects. Plants are a valuable source of a wide range of secondary metabolites, which are used as pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals, flavours, fragrances, colours, biopesticides and food additives [1-50].

However this route of drug administration fails at bypassing the first pass metabolism of the drug in liver with poor bio availability. Oral route of drug administration also fails in uncooperative /unconscious semiconscious / pediatric subjects. Transdermal patch, a new drug delivery system through skin to the parenteral circulation has been the most recently discussed topic in pharmacology and medicine as it is a noninvasive route of drug administration, delivered in a sustained / pre fixed dosage with no / extremely less first pass metabolism and better bio availability. Most importantly it can be used in semiconscious / unconscious & pediatric subjects without affecting their hemodynamics. The transdermal patches have many beneficial factors however they also come with some major drawbacks like varieties of formulation, design and quality of adhesiveness. This articles provides an insight of transdermal patch in terms of its mechanism of action, advantages, disadvantages and future scope of it in the medical science.

There have been books on the battle to transform the wilderness into an agriculturally ordered land, on the convicts, on the goldrush, on the discovery of the wealth of the continent, on most aspects of settlement, but this is the first to link the story of the discovery of the continent with the slow awareness of its unique trees, shrubs and flowers of Australia. The Flower Chain Chapter 1 The Flower Chain Begins Convict chains are associated with early British settlement of Australia, but there were also lighter chains in those grim days. Chains of flowers and seeds to be grown and classified stretched across the oceans from Botany Bay to Europe, looping back again with plants and seeds of the old world that were to Europeanise the landscape and transform it forever.
