Toxicity Profile for Alizarin (1994)
Abstract
Alizarin was mutagenic and caused DNA damage in bacterial tests (including that of Ames). In general, it was inactive in a range of genotoxicity screening assays in mammalian cells in culture and did not bind to DNA when administered orally to mice. It was of moderate to low acute oral toxicity in mice and may have suppressed the immune system when administered to mice by repeated intraperitoneal injection. Mild eye irritation occurred in rabbits.
What are Toxicity Profiles?
Toxicity Profiles are comprehensive, yet concise, monographs on the hazard potential of individual chemicals.
They are written by scientists specially trained in the evaluation of toxicity data and are prepared principally from primary information sources.
