Biochem/physiol Actions

Safrole is a naturally-occurring genotoxic compound found in Sassafras root and Areca (betel) quid. It is a hepatocarcinogen, and safrole-DNA adducts have also been seen in oral cancers of Areca users. Metabolites of safrole form adducts with DNA and induce chromasomal aberrations and sister chromatid exchanges.

Packaging

Bottomless glass bottle. Contents are inside inserted fused cone.

Other Notes

Principal constituent of sassafras oil
