Litsea cubeba Pers., Lauraceae, consists of more than 400 species and is predominant in tropical and subtropical regions of India, Southeast Asia, southern China, Taiwan, and Japan. Litsea is evergreen, fast growing, and a rare deciduous tree or shrub that attains a height of about 8 m, growing spontaneously in the eastern Himalayas, Assam, Manipur, and Arunachal Pradesh up to an altitude of 2700 m from sea level . In the Assam state of India, the tree is known as “mejankari”, while it is commonly called “May Chang” or “Chinese pepper” in China. Litsea plants are the primary source for traditional medicines but they also serve as a secondary source of food for muga silk worms.

TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION

Safety Summary

·        Hazards drug interaction; teratogenicity; skin allergy.

·        Cautions (all routes): drugs metabolized by CYP2B6

·        Caution (oral): diabetes medication, pregnancy.

·        Cautions (dermal): hypersensitive, diseased or damaged skin, children under 2 years of age.

·        Maximum daily oral dose in pregnancy is 56 mg

·        Maximum dermal use level 0.8%

Organ Specific Effects

·        Adverse skin reactions: Undiluted may change oil was moderately to markedly irritating to rabbits, and was strongly irritating to both mice and pigs; tested at 8% on 25 volunteers it was neither irritating nor sensitizing. It is non-phototoxic. In a study of 200 consecutive dermatitis patients, three were sensitive to 2% may change oil on patch testing. Citral can induce sensitization reactions, and this effect can allegedly be reduced by the co-presence of (þ)- limonene. In a mouse local lymph node assay, which allows comparative measuring of skin sensitizing potency, may change oil was a weak sensitizer, with a similar potency to citral .

·        Cardiovascular effects: Gavage doses of 10, 15 or 20 mg/kg/ day citral for 28 days, dose-dependently lowered plasma insulin levels and increased glucose tolerance in obese rats.

·        Reproductive toxicity: Citral is dose-dependently teratogenic because it inhibits retinoic acid synthesis, and this can affect fetal development.

Systemic effects

·        Acute toxicity May chang oil acute oral LD50 in rats >5 g/kg; acute dermal LD50 in rabbits 4.8 g/kg. Tests using both rats and mice resulted in the following approximate values for may chang oil: acute oral LD50 4.0 g/kg, acute dermal LD50 >5.0 g/kg, inhalation LC50 12,500 ppm.

·        Carcinogenic/anticarcinogenic potential May chang oil was not genotoxic to Salmonella tymphimurium, and did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow cells or chromosome aberrations in mouse spermatocyte cells . Citral, (þ)- limonene, and geraniol display anticarcinogenic activity.

·        Drug interactions Antidiabetic medication, because of cardiovascular effects, above. See Table 4.10B. Since citral and geraniol inhibit CYP2B6, there is a theoretical risk of interaction between may chang oil and drugs metabolized by this enzyme.
