Appendix 1.3 Summary of Findings for Individual Herbal Remedies
1. Black CohoshDried preparations of the root of the Black cohosh plant, Cimicifugia racemosa, are used primarily for the treatment of symptoms of the menopause (Sweetman, 1999). In addition, the herb has been included in some cough preparations. The maximum daily dose recommended for Black cohosh preparations available in the UK ranges between 50 and 500 mg/day. In conventional medicine, the symptoms of menopause are managed by synthetic hormone replacement therapy (BMA, 2004).The mechanism of action (if any) of Black cohosh for improvement of menopausal symptoms is unclear (Huntley & Ernst, 2003). Only limited data are available with regard to the tolerability of Black cohosh, but in general it would appear to be safe, with a small risk of minor adverse effects such as rash and gastrointestinal disturbance.Black cohosh has little oestrogen receptor binding activity or oestrogenic activity in vitro (Zava et al., 1998). Difficulties occur in extrapolating in vitro data to the in vivo situation because of variations in absorption, activation/inactivation, metabolic disposition and bioavailability to target tissues.A number of active constituents have been identified in Black cohosh preparations, but no pharmacological or toxicological data were identified by our search strategies.
2. CamphorCamphor is used as a rubefacient and mild analgesic for conditions such as neuralgia. It is also contained in nasal decongestant preparations for inhalation (Sweetman, 1999). Due to potentially serious toxicity, Camphor concentration should not exceed 11% in preparations for external use. Treatments for neuralgia and muscle pain in conventional medicine include topical non-steroidal anti-inflammatory preparations (BMA, 2004).ToxicokineticsThe toxicokinetic data presented here are summarised from the Hazardous Substances Databank entry for Camphor.1 Absorption of Camphor from the skin, gastrointestinal and respiratory systems readily and occurs rapidly, and toxic levels can be reached within minutes of ingestion. Camphor is removed from the bloodstream by the liver. On metabolism, Camphor is partially oxidised and partially conjugated to glucuronic acid. In addition, Camphor is hydroxylated by rat and rabbit liver microsomes in vitro. The majority is eliminated as oxidised camphorol in the urine, with less excreted in breath, sweat and faeces.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityNotable adverse effects include nausea, vomiting, colic, headache, dizziness, delirium, muscle twitching, epileptiform convulsions, CNS depression and coma (Sweetman, 1999). Infant collapse following local application of Camphor to the nostrils has also been reported.Camphor (as used as a rubefacient) has been shown to cause abnormal liver function and encephalopathy (Stedman, 2002). Topical use of Camphor has caused erythematous and papulous oedematous skin reactions (Ernst, 2000).

Camphor when ingested is extremely toxic, with a rapid onset of action (between 5 and 90 minutes) (Gibson et al., 2004). As little as 1g as been fatal in a 19 month old child. Camphor accumulates in fatty tissues and there is no antidote.Acute toxicity data are summarised on a Material Safety Datasheet.1 In mice the oral LD50 for Camphor was 1310mg kg-1. The lowest published lethal concentration (LDLO) is 2000mg kg-1 in rabbits. Intraperitoneal injection of Camphor in mice gave a LD50 of 3000mg kg-1. Typical threshold limit values/time weighted average (TLV/TWA) are 2ppm, with the short term exposure limit (STEL) set at 3ppm. Repeat dose toxicityChronic ingestion may cause granulomatous hepatitis or fatty metamorphosis.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityCamphor is non-classifiable as a human carcinogen.2
Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity Evidence compiled in DART/ETIC (Developmental and Reproductive Toxicology)Error: Reference source not found database suggests from studies in animals that Camphor does not affect fetal growth, viability or morphological development at doses causing minor maternal toxicity.
3. EchinaceaDried aerial parts of the Echinacea purpera plant is used to boost the immune system3, and for the prevention of viral upper respiratory tract infections (Sweetman, 1999). The maximum recommended daily dose for preparations available in the UK ranges between 500 and 2500 mg/day. No conventional medicines are licensed for prophylaxis of viral infections. Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityContact sensitisation has been reported for Echinacea purpera (Paulsen, 2002), with the pollen identified as the responsible component.Acute oral toxicity LD50 values are >15000 and >30000 mg kg-1 for rats and mice respectively.4
Carcinogenicity and MutagencityA commercial preparation of Echinacea purpera has been tested for mutagenicity in Salmonella typhimurium, with and without metabolic activation, and has been shown to be negative in the majority of tests.2 In addition, Echinacea extract produced no significant induction of chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes, nor did it increase the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in mouse bone marrow. Some tumour inhibition has been shown for Echinacea in vitro.
4. Evening Primrose Oil The major uses for Evening Primrose Oil are in the treatment of premenstrual syndrome and mastalgia, menopausal symptoms and eczema (Sweetman, 1999). Other conditions for which it is used include multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis. Maximum recommended daily does for preparations available in the UK range between 1000 and 3000 mg/day. In conventional medicine, bromocriptine is licensed for use in moderate to severe cyclical breast pain (BMA, 2004).

4.1 Active constituentsThe constituents of Evening Primrose Oil thought to be responsible for its biological effects are linoleic acid and -linoleic acid. Toxicological data are available for linoleic acid and are detailed below.Linoleic acidToxicokineticsLinoleic acid is a long chain carboxylic acid and is absorbed as micelle aggregates, esterified with glycerol in chylomicrons and very low density lipoproteins, and transported via the lymphatic system1 It is readily metabolised in the oxidation fatty acid metabolism pathway, and consumption presents no safety concern.
Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityLinoleic acid is classed as practically non-toxic, with a probable oral lethal does of > 15 g kg-1 in humans.2 Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityStudies of oleic acid, a chemically related compound, are considered relevant for linoleic acid. Oleic acid was found to be negative in a large number of tests for mutagenicity. 3 Linoleic acid is not listed by ACGIH, IARC, NIOSH, NTP or OSHA.
5. FeverfewFeverfew, Tanacetum parthenium, is a herbal remedy used in prophylactic treatment of migraine (Sweetman, 1999). The maximum recommended daily dose for Feverfew preparations available in the UK lies between 380 and 760 mg/day. Conventional medications used for migraine prophylaxis include pizotifin, beta-blockers and tri-cyclic anti-depressants (BMA, 2004).5.1 Active constituent The constituent thought to be responsible for the biological activity of Feverfew is parthenolide, for which limited toxicological data are available.ParthenolideToxicokineticsPharmacological effects ascribed to parthenolide include decreased prostaglandin synthesis and decreased platelet aggregation and serotonin secretion (Robles et al., 1995). These effects serve to relieve inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, and to act as anti-migraine therapy.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityContact sensitisation has been reported for Feverfew (Paulsen, 2002), with parthenolide identified as the component responsible.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityIn vitro tests using mammalian cells have shown mutagenic activity for parthenolide.4

6. GarlicGarlic is reported to be of value in lowering blood pressure and blood cholesterol levels.1 In addition, expectorant, diaphoretic, diuretic and disinfectant properties have been attributed to Garlic (Sweetman, 1999). The maximum recommended dose for Garlic preparations available in the UK is between 170 and 670 mg/day for Garlic extract and 2 and 10 mg/day for Garlic oil. Hypertension and hypercholesterolemia are treated in conventional medicine with anti-hypertensives and statins respectively (BMA, 2004). Garlic and Garlic oil are licensed for veterinary use (NOAH, 2004). These preparations are intended for use in dogs and cats for the symptomatic relief of respiratory and digestive complaints, as well as skin infections. The maximum recommended daily dose range between 390 mg/day Garlic extract (equivalent 1.1 mg/day Garlic oil), and 1555 mg/day Garlic extract (equivalent to 4.5 mg/day Garlic oil).Garlic is considered to be a type I and type IV allergen (Jappe et al., 1999). A number of herb-drug interactions have been reported for Garlic (Izzo & Ernst, 2001). Two case reports show an interaction between Garlic and warfarin leading to an increase in INR (international normalised ratio), and clinical trial data suggest that Garlic can change some of the pharmacokinetic properties of paracetamol via an unknown mechanism. Use of Garlic can increase the risk of post-operative bleeding and can have hypoglycaemic effects.Adverse effects reported include nausea and gastrointestinal problems (Ernst, 2003a). Dermatological effects following oral administration of Garlic have been reported to include urticaria and angioedema (Ernst, 2000). Systematic review of Garlic-induced adverse effects showed that causality is well established for allergic reactions, and that the most serious reported adverse effects are those affecting platelet adhesiveness, prothrombin time and partial thromboplastin time (Morbidoni et al., 2001).
7. Ginkgo biloba extractGinkgo biloba extract is used to improve circulation to the brain and muscles, and also for tinnitus.2 This herbal remedy is also reputed to be of use in Alzheimer’s disease and multi-infarct dementia (Sweetman, 1999). The maximum recommended dose for Ginkgo biloba preparations available in the UK range between 60 and 120 mg/day and up to 1000 mg/day. Betahistidine is a drug licensed in the UK for the treatment of tinnitus (BMA, 2004).Toxicokinetics3
Ginkgo biloba extract (standard extract eGb761) is composed of numerous active constituents, among which are quercetin, Ginkgolides A & B, and bilobalide. Information available for any of these are of pertinence to the whole extract. Following oral administration of eGb761 (80mg), the bioavailabilities of Ginkgolides A & B with plasma half lives of 4 and 6 hours respectively, are approximately 80%. Bioavailability of Ginkgolide C is very low. The bioavailability of bilobalide is 70% with a plasma half life of 3 hours following oral administration of 120mg 3Gb761. Excretion is via the urine, accounting for 70%, 50% and 30% for Ginkgolides A & B and bilobalide respectively.

247
Adverse effects of Ginkgo biloba extract include dizziness, palpitations, gastrointestinal disturbances, bleeding disorders and skin hypersensitivity reactions (Sweetman, 1999).Toxicity Profile2
Acute toxicityStandardised extract eGb761 administered orally to rats shows an LD50 of 7.73 g kg-
1.Repeat dose toxicityIn a 27 week study in rats and mice, no evidence of renal or hepatic damage was observed following oral administration of doses ranging from 100 to 1600 mg kg-1.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityNo carcinogenicity studies have been performed using standardised Ginkgo biloba extract, but studies performed on quercetin are relevant.1 Reproductive and Developmental ToxicityIn general, no teratogenic effects for Ginkgo biloba have been reported (Jurgens, 2003). This article does, however, cite one report of decreased chick viability in a study using a high dose.Herb-Drug InteractionsGinkgolides and bilobalides have anti-platelet activity through their action as PAF antagonists (Izzo & Ernst, 2001). Two case reports exist of severe spontaneous bleeding in patients taking warfarin or aspirin following self-medication with Ginkgo biloba at recommended doses. Spontaneous bilateral subdural haematomas have been reported in cases of long-term Ginkgo biloba use. Although Ginkgo biloba is a peripheral vasodilator, it has led to a further increase in blood pressure in a patient prescribed a thiazide diuretic for hypertension. Combination of trazodone and Ginkgo biloba in a patient with Alzheimer’s disease led to coma, due to Ginkgo biloba -induced increase in production of an active metabolite of trazodone (MCPP) causing release of the inhibitory neurotransmitter GABA. Adverse effects following use of Ginkgo biloba include four reported cases of subdural and parietal haematoma and subarachnoid haemorrhage (Ernst, 2003b).7.1 Active constituentsGinkgo biloba extract contains a number of active constituents, including ginkgolides, bilobalide and quercetin. Of these, the toxicology of quercetin in best characterised.QuercetinToxicokineticsFollowing oral administration in rats, quercetin is rapidly excreted into bile and urine within 48 hours as the glucuronide and sulphate conjugates, 3’-O-monomethyl quercetin and 4-monomethyl quercetin.2 As a glycoside, quercetin is hydrolysed to the corresponding aglycone, which is then metabolised by scission of the heterocyclic ring at the 1,2 and 3,4 bonds to yield homoprotocatechuic acid, which is further metabolised by -oxidation of the acyl-side chain, O-methylation and demethylation and aromatic dehydroxylation.Pharmacokinetic studies in man suggest that quercetin is quickly eliminated with a half life of less than 2 hours (Graefe et al., 1999). Distribution in a typical 70kg man has been estimated at 0.003-0.012 molkg-1 from daily oral administration of 25-50 mg.3 Oral administration in man of a Ginkgo biloba extract dose containing 6.8 mg quercetin, has a mean value of 2.17 hours for half life for elimination and 1.51 hours

for half life for absorption, demonstrating that the absorption and elimination are rapid (Wang et al., 2003). Bioavailability was low, with cumulative urinary excretion was 0.17%, where quercetin was detected as the sulphate and glucuronic acid conjugates. The low bioavailability was thought to be due to the lack of enzymes capable of cleaving glycosidic bonds in the gut. However, reports from randomised clinical trial in ileostomy patients, subsequently confirmed in healthy subjects, suggested that the presence of the glycoside residue facilitated the intestinal absorption (Ross & Kasum, 2002).The volume of distribution varies among studies, but has important implications for interpreting the pharmacodynamic effects. Due to current technical limitations, there are insufficient data available to determine beyond doubt the mechanism underlying the observed link between consumption of high dietary flavonoids such as quercetin, and decreased risk of coronary heart disease. Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityAcute oral toxicity LD50 value for mice and rats is 160gmg kg-1 1.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityFull details of mutagenicity testing are available on the Chemical Carcinogenesis Research Information System2. Briefly, quercetin has produced positive results in the majority of designs of Salmonella typhimurium tests for mutagenicity. However, quercetin has been extensively tested for carcinogenicity and although it has shown positive results in some studies, it was negative in the majority.2 The efficient metabolism and excretion of this compound may explain the lack of carcinogenicity in vivo.
8. GinsengGinseng (Panax ginseng) is reported to enhance resistance to infection, aid recuperation and to reduce fatigue (Sweetman, 1999). It is used to promote general well-being. Maximum recommended daily dose for Ginseng preparations available in the UK range between 1500 and 3000 mg/day. There is no analogous class of conventional medicines.Toxicokinetics3
The chemical constituents responsible for the pharmacological activities of Ginseng extract are the triterpene saponins, termed ginsenosides. These ginsenosides fall into two classes based on the structure of the cognate aglycone, namely protopanaxadiol and protopanaxatriol. The fate of administered ginsenosides is dependant on their class. Ginsenoside Rg1 (protopanaxatriol) has a half life of 27 minutes following intravenous administration to minipigs. In contrast, the protopanaxadiol ginsenoside Rb1 has a half life of 16 hours in the phase, due to high plasma protein binding.Information on absorption and metabolism is available for ginsenoside Rg1, showing that this constituent is rapidly absorbed and metabolised after oral administration, with very low concentrations of the intact molecule detected in urine or faeces. Ginsenoside Rg1 is distributed to the blood, liver, bile, subcutis and epithelia of

oesophagus and the oral and nasal cavities. The concentrations detected in muscle, endocrine organs and brain are low.Adverse effects, termed “Ginseng abuse syndrome”, include morning diarrhoea, skin eruptions, sleeplessness, nervousness, hypertension, euphoria and oedema (Sweetman, 1999).Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicity1
Oral administration of Ginseng to mice and rats show LD50 of 750 and 200 mg kg-1 respectively.Repeat dose toxicityInformation from subacute/subchronic toxicity studies is available for rats and dogs; no evidence for Ginseng toxicity has been observed in either species.2 Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityGinseng has tested negative for mutagenicity in the mouse lymphoma model with and without S9 and aroclor 1254 metabolic activation. 2
Herb-Drug InteractionsIncidences of interaction of Ginseng with prescription drugs are summarised by Izzo and Ernst (2001). Ginseng is reported to interact with the monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), phenylzine (Ernst, 2003b) and warfarin. Ginsenosides inhibit cAMP phosphodiesterase leading to an increase in cAMP, which may explain in part the psychoactive central effect of Ginseng both alone and in combination with MAOIs. Use of Ginseng reduces blood alcohol concentration, with induction of the essential components of the microsomal alcohol oxidising system suggested as the underlying mechanism.Adverse effects following Ginseng ingestion include nausea, vomiting, arteritis, deterioration of schizophrenia and mania (Ernst, 2003b).
9. Glucosamine Glucosamine supplements have been reported to be of use in the treatment of osteoarthritis.3 Maximum recommended dose for Glucosamine preparations available in the UK range between 1000 and 2000 mg/day. In conventional medicine, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are routinely prescribed for osteoarthritis (BMA, 2004). 9.1 Active constituentsGlucosamine preparations contain the active ingredients Glucosamine hydrochloride and Glucosamine sulphate. The toxicokinetics of Glucosamine sulphate in man are well described (see below).Glucosamine sulphate ToxicokineticsThe toxicokinetics of Glucosamine sulphate in man has been reported recently (Setnikar & Rovati, 2001). Following oral administration, free Glucosamine sulphate in blood was below the limit of quantification. After 1.5 hours, Glucosamine sulphate appeared incorporated in plasma globulins, with a peak at 9 hours, and was eliminated

with a half life of 58 hours. Gastrointestinal absorption is approximately 90%, but oral bioavailability is only 44% due to the hepatic first pass metabolism effect.Incorporation into plasma proteins occurs with all routes of administration, with the liver being the site of incorporation. Glucosamine sulphate is covalently bound to plasma globulins (predominantly -globulins) and is transported to peripheral tissues where it is enzymatically released and made available for local use. Urinary excretion following oral administration is 8% of the administered dose, with faecal excretion 11.4%. Respiratory excretion accounts for the majority (60%), highlighting the effect of hepatic first pass metabolism.Following oral administration, Glucosamine sulphate is largely distributed to the stomach walls and contents. Concentrations of Glucosamine sulphate in the liver peak at 2 hours and decrease slowly thereafter. There is also rapid uptake in articular cartilage.In a study of dogs administered Glucosamine sulphate in a mixture of purified chondroitin sulphate and manganese ascorbate, minor but not clinically important changes in haematological and haemostatic variables were observed (McNamara et al., 1996). These changes included a decrease in median haematocrit and a decreased neutrophil count.Toxicity profileAcute ToxicityBoth Glucosamine sulphate and Glucosamine hydrochloride are in the slightly toxic range, with acute oral toxicity in mice > 5 g kg-1 1 and 15 g kg-1 2 respectively.
10. Ma huangIn traditional Chinese Medicine, Ma Huang is used in mild respiratory disorders including asthma. 3,4 Maximum recommended daily dose for the treatment of bronchial asthma range between 45 and 90 mg (Bielory & Lupoli, 1999). In addition, it has been reported to be used as a stimulant and to boost athletic performance and weight loss.5 The maximum daily dose recommended for Ma huang contained in a training supplement available in the UK is 1000 mg/day (80 mg/day ephedrine).6 Asthma is treated conventionally using inhaled corticosteroids and selective beta2 agonists. 7
Three incidences of hepatotoxic events associated with the use of Ma Huang have been reported (Pittler & Ernst, 2003). The adverse effects noted included nausea, vomiting, abdominal discomfort, jaundice, fatigue, cough, chest pain and haemoptysis. Where liver biopsies were performed, diffuse hepatic necrosis, polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) infiltrates and fibrosis were observed. However, the evidence for hepatotoxicity related to use of Ma huang was said to be anecdotal, therefore it is difficult to define precise incidence figures.

One active component of Ma huang, ephedrine, is absorbed more slowly from powdered herbal preparation than from either ephedrine tablet or oral solution forms (White et al., 1997). However, despite this, onset of effect and absorption are the same. Ephedrine content varies between Ephedra species.Additional adverse effects of Ma huang use include hallucination, stroke, acute dysphoric disorder, and seizures (Ernst, 2003b). Ma huang may interact with other CNS stimulants, -blockers, monoamine oxidase inhibitors, phenothiazines and theophylline (Ernst, 2003a). Reports exist of acute autoimmune hepatitis, with massive necrosis (disproportionate severity for clinical picture) observed on biopsy (Stedman, 2002).10.1 Active ConstituentsThe alkaloids L-ephedrine and pseudoephedrine are the constituents of Ma huang that have been identified to have pharmacological activity.10.1.1 L-EphedrineToxicokineticsIn rats, L-ephedrine is converted to L-norephedrine and 4-hydroxy-L-ephedrine. In rabbits, L-norephedrine is also produced on metabolism of ephedrine, as well as phenylgycol. L-ephedrine is rapidly absorbed after oral, intramuscular and sub-cutaneous administration (species not specified), with a plasma half life of 6 hours. Elimination of L-ephedrine is via the urine, where it is detected largely as the unchanged drug. 1
The fraction of ephedrine eliminated by N-demethylation to norephedrine is 8-20% following oral administration. Norephedrine is excreted in urine, largely unchanged, with approximately 4% biotransformation to 4-hydroxynorephedrine and hippuric acid (Haller et al., 2002). Among the most serious adverse effects reported are tachycardia, anxiety, restlessness and insomnia, increased blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia (Sweetman, 1999). L-ephedrine interacts with a number of other drugs including halothane and other general anaesthetics, theophylline and monoamine oxidase inhibitors. L-ephedrine can antagonise anti-hypertensive therapy.Ephedrine acts as 1-, 1- and 2- adrenergic agonist and promotes release noradrenaline and dopamine. Ephedrine is a more potent vasopressor and cerebral stimulant than pseudoephedrine (Berlin et al., 2001).Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityL-ephedrine is classed as extremely toxic, with a probable oral lethal dose between 5 and 50 mg kg-1 in humans.2 Acute oral toxicity has been measured with an LD50 of 600 mg kg-1 and 689 mg kg-1 for rats3 and mice4 respectively. Toxicity is dependant on the route of administration, with LD50 values decreasing with route in the following order: intraperitoneal, parenteral and intravenous.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityWhen tested using four standard strains of Salmonella typhimurium, with or without metabolic activation, no evidence of L-ephedrine mutagenicity was observed. In addition, no evidence of chromosomal aberrations or sister chromatid exchange was

detected. In a two year carcinogenicity study, no evidence of carcinogenicity was observed in either F344 rats of B6C3F1 mice. Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity No animal reproduction studies have been performed,1 and it is not known whether L-ephedrine can have adverse effects on the fetus when administered to pregnant humans.10.1.2 PseudoephedrineToxicokinetics1
Following oral administration of pseudoephedrine hydrochloride, the pharmacological effect (nasal decongestion) is observed within 30 minutes, and lasts for 4-6 hours. Although sufficient evidence is lacking, pseudoephedrine is presumed to cross the placenta and into the CSF. Pseudoephedrine has a short half life, and elimination of the drug is renal, with 55-75% excreted unchanged. In rabbits, D-pseudoephedrine yields D-norpseudoephedrine and L-pseudoephedrine yields L-norpseudoephedrine. Norpseudoephedrine is classified as a schedule IV controlled substance (Haller et al., 2002).Pseudoephedrine is less potent than ephedrine with respect to pressor, cardiac, mydriatic and CNS stimulant actions.Adverse effects include tachycardia, anxiety, restlessness, insomnia, skin rashes, urinary retention, and rarely hallucinations especially in children (Sweetman, 1999).
11. St John’s WortSt John’s Wort is used as a herbal remedy for the treatment of anxiety and mild to moderate depression (Sweetman, 1999). Other reported minor uses include treatment of skin inflammation, wounds and burns.2 The maximum daily dose recommended for preparations available in the UK (standardised to hypericin content) range between 900 and 2700 g/day hypericin (450-900 mg/day dried St John’s Wort extract).3,4 In conventional medicine, tricyclic and SSRI (selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor) antidepressants are used in the treatment of depression, while anxiety is treated with anxiolytics such as benzodiazepines.5
ToxicokineticsThe pharmacodynamics and kinetics of St John’s Wort have been described recently (Hammerness et al., 2003). The absorption of hypericin and pseudohypericin is 14 and 21% respectively following oral administration. The time to peak is between 2 and 6 hours, with a dose-dependant half-life of 24 to 36 hours. Steady state is achieved within 4 days. St John’s Wort exerts multiple effects on the cytochrome P450 enzyme complex and activates P-glycoprotein.Numerous pharmacological effects have been described for St John’s Wort that may underlie its anti-depressant action (Hammerness et al., 2003). These include inhibition of MAO (monoamine oxidase inhibitor) A &B and COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase) enzymes, decrease in serotonin, dopamine, and noradrenaline reuptake, and increases in serotonin receptor density. Actions at benzodiazepine, adenosine, inositol trisphosphate, glutamate (NMDA) and cholinergic receptors may contribute to the psychotropic effects.

Although St John’s Wort is generally well tolerated, adverse effects have been documented. These include gastrointestinal symptoms, skin reactions, fatigue and sedation, restlessness and anxiety, dizziness, headache and dry mouth. Phototoxicity has also been reported for St John’s Wort (Mantle et al., 2001). A report on a European drug monitoring study (3250 individuals) showed a 2.4% rate of adverse drug reaction, that were generally mild, transient and similar to placebo (Greeson et al., 2001).Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityAn acute NOEL value of >5000 mg kg-1 in mice and rats has been published (Hammerness et al., 2003).Repeat dose toxicityA study of long-term effects of St John’s Wort was conducted in dogs, and only non-specific symptoms were reported (Hammerness et al., 2003).Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityNo significant mutagenic properties have been ascribed to St John’s Wort; one study of genotoxicity in Salmonella typhimurium found that the mutagenicity observed was quercetin-mediated (Hammerness et al., 2003).Reproductive and Developmental ToxicityNo adverse reproductive effects have been ascribed to use of St John’s Wort (Jurgens, 2003).Herb-Drug InteractionsSt John’s Wort extract interacts with drugs metabolised by cytochrome P450 monoxygenase enzyme system and with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) (Izzo & Ernst, 2001). Four clinical studies showed an increase or a tendency to increase the metabolic capacity of CYP450 enzymes. In addition, St John’s Wort can increase the activity of P-glycoprotein. Due to a combination of these mechanisms, use of St John’s Wort can lead to reduced plasma concentrations of warfarin, phenprocoumon, oral contraceptives, cyclosporin, amitriptyline, theophylline and indinavir. The concentration of digoxin is also likely to be decreased. Concomitant use of St John’s Wort and SSRIs can lead to symptoms of serotonin excess, “serotonin syndrome” (Ernst, 2003b).An important herb-drug interaction occurs between St John’s Wort and cyclosporin, where concomitant use leads to reduced plasma levels of the anti-rejection drug due to St John’s Wort-mediated induction of CYP3A/3A4. This has led to severe acute transplant rejection documented in a patient following liver transplantation (Hammerness et al., 2003).St John’s Wort has effects on numerous components of the cytochrome P450 complex, including CYP1A2, CYP2C9, CYP2D6.11.1 Active ConstituentsThe pharmacologically active constituents of St John’s Wort have been identified as quercetin,1 hypericin, and hyperforin. Limited pharmacological and toxicological information is available for these compounds, described below.11.1.1 HypericinToxicokineticsHypericin is thought to be the constituent of Hypericum extract (St John’s Wort) responsible for the photosensitivity reactions observed in some individuals (Sweetman, 1999).

254
Investigations of the pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of hypericin, with a view to exploitation of its potential chemotherapeutic effects, have shown a two compartment model for its pharmacokinetics in primates, with a terminal elimination half life of 26 hours (Fox et al., 2001). 2 mg kg-1 was sufficient to maintain an effective cytotoxic plasma concentration for up to 12 hours post-administration.Metabolism of hypericin is poorly defined, with no free hypericin detected in urine, with or without glucuronidase or sulphatase. However, based on its chemical structure and molecular size, metabolism is predicted to be via glucuronic acid conjugation and biliary excretion (Fox et al., 2001).Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityIn non-human primates, dose-limiting toxicity was skin reactions at 5 mg kg-1, and so-called “hypericinism,” symptoms of which include anorexia, increased liver transaminases and evolution of a skin rash in light-exposed areas (Fox et al., 2001). Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityHypericin has been found to be negative in mutagenicity tests using two standard strains of Salmonella typhimurium, with and without metabolic activation. 1
11.1.2 HyperforinToxicokineticsThe pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics of hyperforin have been reported (Biber et al., 1998). Hyperforin, administered as hypericum extract and therefore in the presence of other active constituents, is orally bioavailable and is not quickly metabolised or decomposed in the gut. Elimination half lives and plasma retention times are long, but it does not accumulate in plasma following once daily administration in human volunteers. After administration of a therapeutic dose, plasma levels increased only after a 1 hour lag, and reached the maximum at 3 hours. Mean Cmax and area under the time concentration curve did not increase with highest doses, but elimination half life was unchanged, implying that loss of bioavailability was due to high lipophilicity of the agent or some other interaction in the gastrointestinal tract. No serious adverse effects were noted, even at the maximum dose administered (5mg hyperforin).
12. ValerianValerian has sedative properties and is used for treatment of stress and anxiety (Sweetman, 1999) and insomnia.2 The maximum recommended dose for preparations available in the UK ranges between 300 and 900 mg/day. In conventional medicine, stress and anxiety are treated with anxiolytics such as benzodiazepines (BMA, 2004).Valerian is licensed for veterinary use (NOAH, 2004), in a preparation combining other active ingredients for the treatment of nervous disorders, shyness or over-excitement in dogs and cats. The maximum recommended daily dose ranges between 194 mg/day and 1555 mg/day, dependent on animal size.Toxicity ProfileReproductive and Developmental Toxicity No fetotoxicity or external malformations have been observed in rats (Jurgens, 2003). However, an increase in the number of fetuses with retarded ossification was reported.12.1 Active constituent

A number of active constituents have been identified in extracts of Valerian root. Of these, toxicological data are available for borneol.BorneolToxicokineticsAbsorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion are as described for Camphor1.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityAcute toxicity of borneol is indistinguishable from Camphor. Laboratory animals are much less susceptible to borneol toxicity than man (as is the case for Camphor). Borneol is classified as Very Toxic, with a probable oral lethal dose in man of between 50 and 500 mg kg-1.2
Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityBorneol has been shown to be non-mutagenic in the Ames test, using three strains of Salmonella typhimurium, with and without metabolic activation. 3

Appendix 1.4 – Summary of Findings for Individual Essential Oils
1. Lavender OilLavender oil is used as a carminative and as a flavouring ingredient. In addition, it is occasionally topically applied as an insect repellant (Sweetman, 1999). Additional suggested uses include aromatherapy for appetite loss, insomnia and nervousness.1 Recommended quantities range from 1-4 drops of essential oil in a carrier1, to topical application of neat oil.2
Topical administration of Lavender oil has been reported to cause allergic contact dermatitis (Ernst, 2000). Traces of linalool and linalyl acetate are detected in the blood within 5 minutes of dermal application of Lavender oil (Bickers et al., 2003), with the maximum concentration reached at 19 minutes. 1.1 Active ConstituentsActive constituents identified in Lavender essential oil include -pinene and linalool and its ester linalyl acetate.1.1.1-PineneToxicokineticsThe toxicokinetics of -pinene have been studied in man and are summarised in the Hazardous Substances Databank.3 Exposure was by inhalation, and uptake was 59% of the exposure concentration. The concentration of -pinene in the blood rose sharply, then tapered off, and was linearly related to the exposure concentration. Elimination from blood was shown to be triphasic, with half lives of 4.8, 39 and 695 minutes for each phase.-pinene is absorbed from skin, lungs and intestines, and is readily metabolised with elimination of unchanged -pinene very low. Urinary excretion of verbenols after -pinene inhalation is complete 20 hours following a 2 hour exposure. In primary cultures of chick embryo liver cells, -pinene was shown to be porphyrogenic.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityThe fatal dose in man is approximately 180g as turpentine (58-65% -pinene). Acute oral toxicity LD50 value is 3700 mg kg-1 in rats. By inhalation, LCLO (lowest published lethal concentration) values for rats, mice and guinea pigs are 625, 364 and 572 gm-3 respectively. 4
Carcinogenicity and Mutagenicity-pinene is not listed by IARC, but there is a documented increased risk of developing respiratory cancer if duration of occupational exposure to turpentine is greater than five years.1
No evidence of mutagenicity was observed using four standard strains of Salmonella typhimurium, with or without metabolic activation.5

Linalool is representative of a number of tertiary alcohols and their related esters used as flavouring agents, and therefore its metabolism in mammals is well characterised.1 In rats, following a single oral dose of radioactively labelled linalool, 55% of the radioactivity was excreted in the urine as the glucuronic acid conjugate and 23% as expired CO2. Of the remainder, 15% was excreted within 72 hours in the faeces, with minor amounts (0.5, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.2%) in the liver, gut, skin and skeletal muscle respectively. Linalyl acetate, an ester of linalool, is metabolised by hydrolysis to yield linalool and the corresponding aliphatic carboxylic acid (acetic acid).2 Metabolism proceeds as for linalool.The biological half-life for both linalool and linalyl acetate is 14 minutes (Bickers et al., 2003).Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityAcute oral toxicity LD50 values for linalool are 3000 mg kg-1 for mice and 2790 mg kg-1 for rats.3 LD50 value following application to skin in rabbits and rats is 5610 mg kg-1 in both species.Acute oral toxicity LD50 values are 14.55 g kg-1 and 13.36 g kg-1 for rats and mice respectively.4 Repeat dose toxicityA 20 day study1 in rats showed that cytochrome P450 (CYP450)-induced allylic oxidation becomes important on repeated dosing, yielding urinary metabolites such as 8-hydroxylinalool and 8-carboxylinalool. A transient rise in liver microsome CYP450 activity was observed.A 29 day study of dermal application of linalool has been conducted in rats (Bickers et al., 2003). Lethargy, ataxia and moderate to severe erythema were observed at all doses. The toxic signs and dermal irritation were dose-related. At necropsy, abnormalities were detected in the treated skin area, as well as gross liver, kidney and intestinal abnormalities. Histopathology revealed very slight to slight changes in liver and kidneys, but these were not related to treatment. In a 90 day study, linalool treatment led to a decrease in body weight and increased in liver and kidney weight. Haematology, clinical chemistry and urinalysis were normal.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityLinalool has been tested for mutagenicity in a series of standard tests,5,6 and was not found be mutagenic in the majority. However, weak positive results were detected one design of the mouse lymphoma and Bacillus subtilis H17 (rec+) and M45 (rec-) tests.Linalyl acetate was negative for mutagenicity in five strains of Salmonella typhimurium, with and without metabolic activation. Neither linalool nor linalyl acetate caused chromosomal aberrations or unscheduled DNA synthesis (Bickers et al., 2003). Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity

Studies of coriander oil in rats in mice have concluded that linalool does not affect reproductive performance or subsequent growth and survival of offspring except where there is maternal toxicity (Bickers et al., 2003). No developmental toxicity data were available.
2. Orange Essential OilOrange essential oil is used as a flavour and in perfumery (Sweetman, 1999). 2.1 Active constituentsThe natural oil contains a number of active constituents, including linalool and its ester linalyl acetate1, citral, and d-limonene.2.1.1 CitralToxicokineticsDetailed information on the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion are contained in the Hazardous Substances Databank entry for citral.2 Citral is a naturally occurring aliphatic aldehyde, and undergoes detoxification in a manner expected for aldehydes. Two routes for aldehyde detoxification exist, firstly oxidation to yield readily metabolised acids (fatty acid oxidation pathways and the Krebs cycle), and secondly, inactivation by reaction with sulphydryl groups e.g., glutathione. In experimental animals, citral is converted in part to the “Hildebrandt acid”, where a double omega oxidation reaction has taken place. In rats and mice, absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is rapid, and excretion is via the urine, with no evidence for long-term storage. Metabolism is rapid; urinary metabolites include several acids and a biliary glucuronide.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityAcute toxicity data are summarised in a Material Safety Datasheet3. Acute oral toxicity studies in rats showed an LD50 value of 4960 mg kg-1, while the value in mice was 6000 mg kg-1. Citral was more toxic when administered via intraperitoneally in rats, with an LD50 460 mg kg-1 for this route. No human toxic dose has been established. 4
Citral is an irritant, causing contact or allergic dermatitis and irritation of the membranes of the nose and throat.Repeat dose toxicityA repeated dose toxicity test in mice showed that on percutaneous absorption, citral caused an increase in lymph node weight compared to untreated controls 5
Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityCitral showed no evidence of mutagenicity when tested using 4 strains of Salmonella typhymurium, with and without S9 metabolic inactivation.6
Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity Citral has been shown to be teratogenic in animals but not in humans,7 causing craniofacial abnormalities in chick embryos. In rats, citral caused a decrease in both the number of follicles per section and in implantation number and litter size. In

259
addition, an increase in post-implantation fetal death was observed. The no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) for embryofetotoxicity was < 60 mg kg-1 by oral administration in rats. However, no developmental toxicity was observed in rats following inhalation of citral up to the maternally toxic dose. 2.1.2 D-limoneneToxicokineticsData for absorption and metabolism of D-limonene is available for humans.3 In humans following oral administration, 75-95% was excreted in urine and <10% excreted in faeces within 2-3 days. A relative pulmonary uptake for D-limonene was determined to be 70% of the amount supplied. D-limonene is readily metabolised and accumulates in adipose tissue (long half life in blood in the slow elimination phase). The major metabolite in urine following oral administration is perillic acid 8,-9 diol in rats and rabbits, perillyl--D-glucopyranosiduronic acid in hamster, P-menth-1-ene-8,-9 diol in dogs, and 8-hydroxy-P-menth-1-en-9-yl--D-glucopyranosiduronic acid in guinea pigs and man.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityOrally administered D-limonene has an LD50 of 4400 mg kg-1 in rats and 5600 mg kg-
1 in mice.1 Intravenous administration in rats results in a much lower LD50 value of 110 mg kg-1.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityThe IARC classification2 of D-limonene is Group 3 (not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans). National Toxicology Program studies3 in rats and mice showed no evidence for carcinogenicity of D-limonene. D-limonene has been tested in a number of short-term tests and has been shown to be non-genotoxic.The nephropathy and renal tumour-induction observed in male rats is due to 2-microglobulin, a male rat specific protein, and is not relevant to human carcinogenesis. When combined, the lack of evidence for a genotoxic mechanism and the demonstration of a plausible epigenetic mechanism (accumulation of 2-microglobulin) implies a species-specific mechanism for d-limonene carcinogenesis (Whysner & Williams, 1996).Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity No evidence for embryotoxicity or teratogenicity has been observed in the absence of maternal toxicity.4
3. Peppermint Essential OilPeppermint essential oil is used as a carminative and relaxes gastric smooth muscle, and is used in the management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (Sweetman, 1999). Recommended dose for Peppermint essential oil is 0.6-1.2 ml/day for up to 3 months (Sweetman, 1999). Conventional treatments for IBS symptoms include anti-spasmodics, anti-motility drugs and laxatives. However, Peppermint oil is also prescribed for IBS in conventional medicine.Peppermint oil is licensed for veterinary use (NOAH, 2004), for the treatment of digestive disorders and motion sickness in cats and dogs.

recommended daily dose ranges between 0.001 ml/day and 0.004 ml/day, dependent on animal size.3.1 Active constituentsMenthol and the related compound menthyl acetate are the active constituents of Peppermint essential oil.Menthol & Menthyl acetateToxicokineticsAdverse effects include hypersensitivity, abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, vertigo, ataxia, drowsiness and coma (Sweetman, 1999). Application of decongestants containing menthol to the nostrils of infants and children may lead to acute respiratory distress with cyanosis and respiratory arrest. In humans, menthol is readily absorbed (100%) and metabolised, with approximately 80% of an oral dose eliminated as the glucuronic acid conjugate in the urine within 6 hours.1 Menthol ingestion in animals has been shown to have a number of enzyme effects. Elevation of glucuronidase activity was observed in mice. Menthol caused elevation of hepatic microsomal cytochrome c and NADPH-cytochrome P450 reductase in rats while two other CYP450 complexes were unchanged. As an ester of menthol, menthyl acetate is presumed to be hydrolysed in the gastrointestinal tract to yield menthol and acetic acid, and metabolism is assumed to proceed as for menthol.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityMenthol is classed as very toxic, with a probable oral lethal dose of between 50 and 500 mg kg-1 in humans.2 However, the published oral toxicity LD50 values are of the order 3000 mg kg-1 for rats and mice.2 Repeat dose toxicityMenthol produced no toxicity in either mice or rats in a 103 week study.2
Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityLong-term studies of menthol in mice and rats produced no evidence for carcinogenicity.2,3 Neither menthol nor its metabolites have been shown to be genotoxic in vitro or in vivo.Reproductive and Developmental Toxicity No developmental toxicity or teratogenicity have been noted for menthol.2

4. Tea Tree oilTea Tree oil is used as an antiseptic and disinfectant. 1 It can be applied neat to the skin.2
4.1 Active constituentCineole has been identified as an active constituent of Tea Tree oil, and for which toxicological data are available.CineoleToxicokineticsOral administration of cineole (also known as Eucalyptol) to bushtailed possums led to the detection of 19 metabolites in urine and faeces,3 among which were p-cresol, 9-hydroxycineole and cineol-9-oic acid.Following oral administration in Swiss albino mice, cineole was found to reduce significantly the hepatic necrosis caused by GalN/LPS. In vitro tests have shown cineole to act as an inhibitor of cyclooxygenase 2, and to reduce lipid peroxidation. Investigation of the effects of cineole on cytochrome P450 enzymes, measured in rat liver microsomes, showed no effect on total CYP450 content, with elevation of the levels of 2B1 and 3A2 isoforms.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityCineole is listed as Very Toxic, that is, the probable lethal dose in humans is between 50 and 500 mg kg-1. 4 Adverse effects such as nausea, vomiting, vertigo, ataxia, muscle weakness, stupor, pallor and sometimes cyanosis have been reported. Acute toxicity data are summarised in a Material Safety Datasheet.5 Acute oral toxicity measured in rats gave LD50 of 2480 mg kg-1. Behavioural effects observed were somnolence and coma. LD50 values measured in mice were 1000 mg kg-1 for the intramuscular route and 1070 mg kg-1 for subcutaneous administration.Repeat dose toxicitySubcutaneous cineole (2450mg kg-1, cumulative in 10 days) showed no evidence of effects on liver regeneration.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityCineole (12 g kg-1 for 8 weeks) was not positive for tumour induction in a mouse primary lung tumour model.6 In mutagenicity tests, cineole gave negative results in tests using four standard strains of Salmonella typhimurium, with and without S9 metabolic activation.1
5. Thyme essential oilThyme essential oil has carminative, antiseptic, antitussive and expectorant properties and is used chiefly in preparations for respiratory-tract disorders (Sweetman, 1999). Thyme EO is recommended for use at no more than 2% in a suitable carrier.7

Thyme EO has been shown to contain a number of compounds for which biological activity has been shown. Of these, toxicological data are available for borneol,1 carvacrol and thymol.5.1.1 CarvacrolToxicokineticsCarvacrol2 is slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract in rabbits, with 30% of the administered dose remaining in the intestine 22 hours post administration. It is metabolised by conjugation to glucuronic acid and sulphate. No absorption of carvacrol applied to intact mouse skin was observed after 2 hours.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityCarvacrol is listed as very toxic, with probable oral lethal dose between 50 and 500 mg kg-1 in humans.4 When applied to intact or abraded rabbit skin, neat carvacrol was shown to be a severe irritant. Acute toxicity values are summarised in a Material Safety Datasheet.3 The oral LD50 was shown to be 810 mg kg-1 in rats, and a number of behavioural effects were also observed; these included somnolence and convulsions or effect on seizure threshold. Additional acute toxicity data are available for mice, where intraperitoneal injection of carvacrol resulted in LD50 of 73.3 mg kg-
1, intravenous administration gave an LD50 value of 80 mg kg-1, and subcutaneous administration gave an LD50 of 680 mg kg-1. The behavioural effects observed in mice were similar to those observed in rats.Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityCarvacrol was negative in Ames tests for mutagenicity.4
5.1.2 ThymolApplied topically, thymol is used as an antiseptic and as an antihelmintic. Veterinary uses as an antihelmintic, and as an external and internal antiseptic, have also been described .5
ToxicokineticsSubstituted monophenols such as thymol are conjugated with glucuronic acid and sulphate.6
The systematic availability following oral administration of thymol in humans has been studied (Kohlert et al., 2002). The sulphate conjugate of thymol but not free thymol was detected in plasma. The glucuronic acid and sulphate conjugates of thymol but not free thymol were detected in urine. Thymol was quickly absorbed, with significant plasma levels observed at 20 minutes and Cmax achieved at 2 hours. The bioavailability was 16%.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityThymol is a mild local irritant and its toxicity is classified as borderline between moderately and very toxic. Ingestion can cause gastric pain, nausea, vomiting, central hyperactivity, occasional convulsions, and cardiac and respiratory collapse. Acute oral

toxicity LD50 values for mice, rats and guinea pigs are 1800, 980 and 880 mg kg-1 respectively. Carcinogenicity and MutagenicityThe IARC classification1 for thymol is Group 3, that is, not classifiable as to its carcinogenicity to humans. Thymol gave negative results in Salmonella typhimurium tests for mutagenicity2, and was also negative for the induction of chromosome aberration.3
6. WormwoodThe essential oil of Artemisia absinthium, Wormwood EO, has been used as flavouring in alcoholic beverages (e.g. vermouth)2, as a bitter and in homoeopathic medicine (Sweetman, 1999). Acute toxicity data for Wormwood EO shows an LD50 value of 960 mg kg-1 by oral administration in rats.4 Details on the use of Wormwood (among other plants) as de-worming preparations in Nordic countries are available (Waller et al., 2001). However, this information is historical and/or anecdotal in nature, and serves to detail the plants used, the target organism and the livestock species.6.1 Active constituentsWormwood EO contains a number of active constituents, including absinthin, -santonin, and - and - thujone. Significant toxicological data is available only for - and - thujone.6.1.1 -santoninAcute toxicity testing of -santonin shows LD50 value of 900 mg kg-1 following oral administration in mice.5 In addition, anti-helminthic activity has been ascribed to -santonin.6 6.1.2 -/- thujoneToxicokineticsData on metabolism of or - thujone is lacking, as is information on long-term and/or reproductive effects.7
Thujone administration can lead to convulsions that are epileptiform in nature and are preceded by vasodilation, fall in blood pressure and slowing of cardiac rhythm.Toxicity ProfileAcute toxicityAcute oral toxicity for thujone isomers is complicated by the use of mixtures of isomers, or the isomer is not specified in some acute tests. However, it is clear that the acute oral LD50 value of -thujone in rats and mice is 250 and 5008 mg kg-1 respectively. -thujone has LD50 for oral toxicity of 250 mg kg-1 in dogs.

A 14 week study in rats demonstrated no significant differences in weight gain, haematology, or heart, liver, kidney, spleen or adrenal gland weights following thujone treatment (isomer not specified). NOEL values for female and male rats were calculated to be 5 mg kg-1 per day and 10 mg kg-1 per day respectively.Carcinogenicity and Mutagenicity-thujone was found to be negative for mutagenicity using five standard strains of Salmonella typhimurium.1

Environ fate (Soil/Environment)
Copper is strongly adsorbed to surfaces of minerals and organic matter, hence soil mobility is very low. In water, copper ions have a strong tendency to form complexes or to be adsorbed, followed by sedimentation. In the sediment, copper reacts with organic matter or sulfides; these reactions reduce bioavailability

Risk assessment and risk perceptionAre non-synthetics perceived to be as or more effective/safer than synthetics? What is driving those beliefs?
Are there potential environmental problems, direct and indirect, that may arise from increased use of non-synthetics?
Would an increase in the proportion of non-synthetic vs synthetic usage have beneficial or harmful ecological/biodiversity impacts? What is the evidence base?What other factors need to be taken into account in the uses of non-synthetic compounds?
Focusing on complementary and alternative medicines, do the public see non-synthetics as a REPLACEMENT or just a SUPPLEMENT to synthetic products?
ScenariosWhat is the current market penetration of non-synthetic chemicals in relation to agrochemical and human and veterinary medicine in the UK and Europe? What supporting data exist?
Are the UK and European markets for non-synthetics increasing? If so, is this at the expense of synthetics, and what will be the position in 5, 10 and 20 years time? Which industries/sectors are likely to increase?
What is preventing - or encouraging - wider adoption of non-synthetic products?
Will changing demographics impact on usage and acceptance of non-synthetics?
Are there particular sectors of the population for whom non-synthetics are particularly suitable or for which additional care is necessary?
420
RegulatoryShould the same environmental risk assessment process be applied to synthetic and non-synthetic chemicals – if not, what justification is there for this?
Should regulation of non-synthetics be based on comparison with equivalent synthetics?
Should increased use of non-synthetics be encouraged through the regulatory process?
Is it acceptable for less stringent safety/efficacy regulations to be imposed on non-synthetic than on synthetic chemicals? If so why?
What is preventing – what would encourage - wider registration of non-synthetic products?
What might the regulatory position be in 5, 10, 20 years time?
Brainstorming - gap filling--------------------What are the gaps in current understanding, and what research is needed?
What are the priorities for further work in this area?
What are the options for, and implications of, systems level replacement of chemical usage in current farming practice?
