Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Administration of Cinnamaldehyde to pregnant rats resulted in increased incidence of poor cranial ossification and reduced ossification of the tympanic bulla. Significant increases of the incidences of dilated pelvis/reduced papilla in the kidney, ureters > 2 abnormal sternebrae per fetus were also reported.
Executive summary:

Cinnamaldehyde was administered by gavage to Sprague-Dawley rats on days 7-17 of pregnancy at doses of 5, 25 or 250 mg/kg/day. Test carried out for duration 7-17 days of pregnancy. Offspring toxicity F1 and F2 showed increased incidence of poor cranial ossification, decreased ossification of tympanic bulla at 25 or 250 mg/kg/day, increased incidence of dilated pelvis/reduced papilla in kidney, increased incidence of reduced cranial ossification, dilated ureter. However,No signs of maternal toxicity observed. The lowest observed adverse effect level (LOAEL) found to be 5 mg/kg bw/day
