Background Information on the NTP 

Board of Scientific Counselors 

The BSC is a technical advisory body 

comprised of scientists from the public 

and private sectors who provide 

primary scientific oversight to the NTP. 

Specifically, the BSC advises the NTP 

on matters of scientific program content, 

both present and future, and conducts 

periodic review of the program for the 

purposes of determining and advising 

on the scientific merit of its activities 

and their overall scientific quality. The 

TRR Subcommittee is a standing 

subcommittee of the BSC. BSC members 

are selected from recognized authorities 

knowledgeable in fields such as 

toxicology, pharmacology, pathology, 

biochemistry, epidemiology, risk 

assessment, carcinogenesis, 

mutagenesis, molecular biology, 

behavioral toxicology and 

neurotoxicology, immunotoxicology, 

reproductive toxicology or teratology, 

and biostatistics. Its members are 

invited to serve overlapping terms of up 

to four years. BSC and TRR 

Subcommittee meetings are held 

annually or biannually.

in the production of pesticides, 

quaternary ammonium compounds, 

flavors, and fragrances. Introduced 

as a less toxic replacement for 

methylene chloride in emissive 

applications such as vapor and 

immersion degreasing operations 

and critical cleaning of electronics 

and metals. Used as a relatively 

nonflammable, nontoxic, fastdrying, and inexpensive solvent for 

adhesive resins, and as a 

replacement for ozone-depleting 

refrigerants. 

• TR 565 Milk Thistle Extract (CASRN 

84604–20–6) 

Æ Milk thistle extracts are used as 

herbal medicines to treat a variety 

of diseases (e.g., liver disease) and 

as a food additive. 

• TR 566 Diethylamine (CASRN 109– 

89–7) 

Æ Used mainly as a chemical 

intermediate to produce the 

corrosion inhibitor, N,Ndiethylethanolamine, and to lesser 

extent to produce pesticides, insect 

repellants, pharmaceuticals, and 

rubber processing chemicals. 

• TR 567 Ginseng (CASRN 50647–08–0) 

Æ Ginseng is a perennial aromatic 

herb widely used in herbal 

remedies for enhancing stamina and 

endurance for mental and physical 

performance. 

• TR 563 Pulegone (CASRN 89–82–7) 

Æ Several essential oils that contain 

pulegone are used for flavoring 

foods, drinks, and dental products, 

as fragrance agents, and in herbal 

medicines. 

• TR 536 Bis(2-chloroethoxy) methane 

(CASRN 111–91–1)
