TERRESTRIAL FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 210(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that isosafrole is expected to moderate mobility in soil(SRC). Volatilization of isosafrole from moist soil surfaces is expected to be an important fate process(SRC) given an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.036 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Isosafrole has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.023 mm Hg(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2) and exists as a liquid under environmental conditions: therefore, isosafrole may volatilize from dry soil. Biodegradation data in soil were not available(SRC, 2018).

AQUATIC FATE: Based on a classification scheme(1), an estimated Koc value of 210(SRC), determined from a structure estimation method(2), indicates that isosafrole is expected to adsorb to suspended solids and sediment(SRC). Volatilization from water surfaces is expected(3) based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 0.036 atm-cu m/mole(SRC), developed using a fragment constant estimation method(2). Using this Henry's Law constant and an estimation method(3), volatilization half-lives for a model river and model lake are 4 hrs and 5 days, respectively(SRC). According to a classification scheme(4), an estimated BCF of 80(SRC), from an estimated log Kow of 3.37(2) and a regression-derived equation(2), suggests the potential for bioconcentration in aquatic organisms is moderate(SRC). Biodegradation data in water were not available(SRC, 2018).

ATMOSPHERIC FATE: According to a model of gas/particle partitioning of semivolatile organic compounds in the atmosphere(1), isosafrole, which has an estimated vapor pressure of 0.023 mm Hg at 25 °C(SRC), determined from a fragment constant method(2), is expected to exist solely as a vapor in the ambient atmosphere. Vapor-phase isosafrole is degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with photochemically-produced hydroxyl radicals(SRC); the half-lives for this reaction in air is estimated to be 5 and 4.6 hours(SRC), calculated from rate constants of 7.6X10-11 and 8.4X10-11 cu cm/molecule-sec at 25 °C(SRC), for the cis- and trans- isomers, respectively, that were derived using a structure estimation method(2). Vapor-phase isosafrole is also degraded in the atmosphere by reaction with ozone(SRC); the half-lives for this reaction in air are estimated to be 4 and 2 hours(SRC), calculated from rate constants of 6.8X10-17 and 1.4X10-18 cu cm/molecule-sec(SRC), for the cis- and trans- isomers, respectively, that were derived using a structure estimation method(2). Isosafrole absorbs UV light at wavelengths >380 nm(3) and, therefore, may be susceptible to direct photolysis by sunlight(SRC).

IDENTIFICATION AND USE: Isosafrole is a colorless liquid. Isosafrole exists as a trans-(E-)isomer (beta-isosafrole) and as a cis-(Z-)isomer (alfa-isosafrole). Isosafrole is used in fragnances, but it is no longer used in foods in the United States. Safrole and isosafrole can be used as precursors for 3,4-methylenedioxymethylamphetamine (MDMA). HUMAN STUDIES: When tested at 8% in petrolatum, it produced no irritation after a 48-hr closed-patch test on human subjects. A maximization test was carried out on 25 volunteers and produced no sensitization reactions. A 19-year-old man developed a schizophrenia-like psychosis after ingesting isosafrole. His use of amphetamines and LSD failed to produce a similar syndrome. ANIMAL STUDIES: Isosafrole applied full strength to intact or abraded rabbit skin for 24 hr under occlusion was moderately irritating. Isosafrole is a weak rodent hepatocarcinogen, the carcinogenicity is probably mediated by a nongenotoxic mechanism. Isosafrole metabolites may give rise to only very low binding to liver DNA in mice. Hepatomas and pulmonary tumors were observed in isosafrole-treated mice. Hepatoma incidence tended to be higher in males than females with isosafrole. Isosafrole (19,7% cis/78.2% trans isomer) did not induce gene mutations in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538 or in Escherichia coli WP 2 uvr A with or without metabolic activation.

EPA has released the Interactive Chemical Safety for Sustainability (iCSS) Dashboard.

Using a structure estimation method based on molecular connectivity indices(1), the Koc of isosafrole can be estimated to be 210(SRC). According to a classification scheme(2), this estimated Koc value suggests that isosafrole is expected to have moderate mobility in soil(SRC).

Of the two isomers (cis- and trans-), trans-isosafrole is more stable and has been isolated in the pure state, most likely occurring in essential oil of ylang-ylang. The compound has been identified in oils of Illicium religiosum and Ligusticum acutilobum Sieb and Zucc(1). Isosafrole occurs naturally as a principal component of the essential oil star anise and also at low concentrations in the essential oils of other spices. Its distribution is generally similar to that of safrole which is found in several essential oils including the essential oils of sassafras, nutmeg, mace, ginger, cinnamon, and black pepper(2).

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ Tested at 8% in petrolatum, it produced no irritation after a 48-hr closed-patch test on human subjects.

/HUMAN EXPOSURE STUDIES/ A maximization test was carried out on 25 volunteers. The material was tested at a concentration of 8% in petrolatum and produced no sensitization reactions.

/CASE REPORTS/ A 19-year-old man developed a schizophrenia-like psychosis after ingesting isosafrole. His use of amphetamines and LSD failed to produce a similar syndrome.
