2 How EDs may act - sexual hormones as an example Hypothalamus (Releasing factors) Hypophysis (Gonadotrophic hormons FSH, FSH, LH) Feed back mechanisms Gonads (Estrogenes gestagenes androgenes) androgenes) Phase I/I/-II enzymes ED Hormone biosynthesis Binding to transport proteins SHBG Excretion Hormone metabolism Target tissue ER α/β AR Receptor binding (Agonist/antagonist) Signal transduction Seite 2

3 What is an Endocrine Disruptor?...the world of known chemicals Endocrine active substances (EAS) effects on the endocrine system! Endocrine disruptors (EDs( EDs) effects on the endocrine system induce adverse health effects Seite 3

4 Definition of Endocrine Disruptors WHO/IPCS 2002 definition An Endocrine Disruptor is an exogenous substance or mixture that alters function(s) of the endocrine system and consequently causes adverse health effects in an intact organism, or its progeny, or (sub) populations. in vitro or in vivo methods in vivo methods Definition of adversity (WHO/IPCS 2004) A change in morphology, physiology, growth, reproduction, development or lifespan of an organism which results in impairment of functional capacity or impairment of capacity to compensate for additional stress or increased susceptibility to the harmful effects of other environmental influences.

VI. Substance Substance is is an an ED ED of of very very high high regulatory regulatory concern concern no * Only potent EDs can be considered of equivalent concern to CMR 1A or 1B substances, as required by REACH Art 57(f); Seite 6

10 Substances in food Examples: isoflavones (e.g. genistein and daidzein), botanical extracts etc. Food supplements contain often high amounts of certain nutrients/compounds intake often not achievable via normal food items Usually a lot of toxicological data available for single ingredients But often only limited toxicological data available for single products (necessary for case-by-case decisions) Very limited safety evaluations in human studies So far no risk assessment concept or regulatory options for endocrine active substances in food supplements (Regulation ) No 178/2002, Article 14 Food must be safe ) Seite 10

11 Core messages 1. In the interest of predictability and efficiency, the purpose of this concept is to ensure a consistent high level of protection of human health under different regulations based on a scientific weighting of available data. 2. The decision tree combines a flexible scientific weight of evidence process and a conclusion based on a decision matrix including established toxicological guidance values (STOT RE Category 1 of CLP) which ensures comprehensive decisions assures predictability of legal decisions (e.g. in authorization procedures) 3. The concept was originally designed for substances where a complete set of toxicological data is available. Yet, it provides a common principle for the evaluation and authorisation of ED substances to ensure a harmonised approach e.g. for Biocides under Regulation ) No 528/2012 Plant Protection Products under Regulation ) No 1107/2009 Chemicals Cosmetic ingredients under Regulation ) No 1223/2009 Food additives under Regulation ) No 1333/2008 Plastic with food contact under Regulation ) No 10/2011 Food under Regulation ) No 178/2002 under Regulation ) No 1907/2006 (REACH) Seite 11
