Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

Tissue: bone marrow
Cell type: bone marrow cells

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
Cell suspension was transferred to a clean, dry slide, a smear prpared, and the slide left to air-dry. The slides were stained manually according to the technique of Pappenheim with May-Grünwald and Giemsa solutions.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
The slides were examined under light microscope. At high magnification a total of at least 2000 erythrocytes per animal were examined. Each erythrocyte scored was classified as polychromatic or mature and at least 2000 poly-chromatic erythrocytes were examined for the presence or absence of micronuclei. The frequencies of micronucleated cells per 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes were then calculated together with the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic cells.

Evaluation criteria:

A test substance is classified as mutagen if it induces a significant increase in the number of micronucleated PCEs for at least one time point. A test substance producing no significant increase in the number of micronucleated PCEs at any time point is considered as non-genotoxic in this system.

Statistics:

Mean number of NCEs and PCEs and the mean number of micronucleated PCEs were calculated for each sex and for both sexes combined together with the standard deviation. Assay data analysis was performed using the Mann-Whitney-U-test (P > 0.05).

RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY
- Induction of micronuclei (for Micronucleus assay): The mean occurence of micronucleated PCEs was 0.17% and 0.06% 24 h and 48 h after application, respectively. These values are in the range of the historical negative control (0.06% - 0.24% micronucleated PCEs). The positive control animals had an increase in 4.13% indicating a genotoxic effect. In the test substance groups the frequency of detected micronuclei was in the range of the historical negative control in all doses and at any preparation time after application of the test substance. In the female animals 24h after application, there was a very slight dose-dependent increase in the frequency of micronuclei (500 mg/kg bw: 0.01%, 1000 mg/kg bw: 0.12%, 1500 mg/kg bw: 0.15%) in comparison to the corresponding negative controls (0.09% PCEs with micronuclei). However, statistical analysis of the data revealed no significant increase of the micronuclei ratio per 2000 PCEs. The observed very slight increase, which is still in the range of the historical negative controls, was considered to be of no biological relevance and does not indicate a dose-dependent treatment-related effect.

- Ratio of PCE/NCE (for Micronucleus assay): The ratio of PCE to NCE for the test substance groups were from 0.8 to 1.0 and are not different to the respective vehicle control groups.

- Statistical evaluation (Mann-Whitney U-Test, p > 0.05): Dose levels of 500, 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw caused no statistical significant enhancement (in a test for p < 0.05) in the frequency of micronuclei compared to the negative control at any preparation interval. Because only one male animal survived until terminal sacrifice, statistical evaluation of the male dose group 1500 mg/kg bw 48 h p. a. was not possible. Significant increases over the negative controls were seen in positive control group animals

Any other information on results incl. tables

Application of 1500 mg/kg bw of the test substance resulted in toxic symptoms like sedation and excitation with tremors in male and female animals 24 h p.a.. In the high dose group 1 male was found dead 24 h after application and 3 males and 2 females were found dead 48 h after application. Animals of the high dose group showed body weight reduction of up to 15.5%. All other animals survived to scheduled termination. In the low and middle dose groups body weight gain was positive but in comparison to the negative control animals, the body weight gain was reduced.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
Under the conditions of this micronucleus assay, there was no evidence of an aneugenic or clastogenic effect of the test substance leading to micronucleus formation in polychromatic erythrocytes of treated mice 24 h or 48 h after oral administration up to 1500 mg/kg bw.
