Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
In a bacterial reverse mutation test (AMES test, OECD TG 471) no mutagenic activity was observed when the registration substance was tested up to the limit concentration.
No data on cytogenicity or mutagenic activity in mammalian cells are available for the registration substance. However adequate and reliable studies performed with a surrogate substance (multi-constituent substance containing high levels of this registration substance) are at hand.
No in vitro cytogenicity studies are available, but results of an in vivo cytogenicity study (equivalent to OECD TG 475) testing a surrogate substance are reported in the in vivo section below.
A surrogate substance showed no HPRT gene mutation in CHO cells both in the absence and the presence of activation system (equivalent to OECD 476).

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates per concentration
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- yes - Rationale for test conditions:
- AN individual trial must have included a negative and a positive control and at least 5 concentration levels of the test substance for each tester strain and condition.
A data point, concnetration level or trial was excluded from analysis when acceptability criteria were not met - these are as follows:
- all tester strains must have had their strain characteristic specifics and exhibit a characteristic number of revertants per plate in the absence of the test substance
- mean positive control values must exhibit at least a three-fold increase of revertants compared to solvent control
- a minimum of three non-toxic concentrations were requiered (non toxic, i.e. < 50% reduction in mean number of revertants per plate relative to the mean of the concurrent negative control) - Evaluation criteria:
- POSITIVE, if the mean number of revertant colonies per plate in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation system was at least two times greater than the mean of concurrent vehicle control and there was a concentration-related increase over the range tested
NEGATIVE, if no two-foldincrease in number of revertant colonies or no concentration-related increase over the range tested
Results not meeting the criteria for positive or negavtive were evaluated using scientific judgment and may have been reported as EQUIVOCAL. - Statistics:
- mean number of three plates/concentration level and condition as well as standard deviation was calculated

Additional information
In a guideline study according to OECD TG 471 under GLP conditions, mutagenic activity of the submission substance was investigated in a plate incorporation assay. Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 97a, TA1535, TA98 and TA100 as well as Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were exposed to concentrations of 0, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 2500 or 5000 µg test item per plate either with or without metabolic activation system (aroclor induced male rat liver S9 -mix). Three plates at each concentration level were used. No precepitation of the test substance occurred. Cytotoxicity was observed as low as 500 µg/plate in strains tested without metabolic activation system, or as low as 1000 µg/plate in some strains tested with metabolic activation system. All positive controls induced marked increases in frequency of revertant colonies. All negative controls were found to be in an acceptable range. The test item showed no mutagenic activity.
No data on cytogenicity or mutagenic activity in mammalian cells are available for the registration substance. However adequate and reliable studies performed with a surrogate substance (multi-constituent substance containing high levels of this registration substance) are at hand.
One study investigated the potential of the test item (surrogate of the submission substance) to induce gene mutations at the HGPRT locus in Chinese hamster ovary cells in vitro following the principles of guideline OECD 476 and in compliance with GLP. The assay was performed in two independent experiments, using identical procedures, both with and without rat liver microsomal activation.
The test article was tested with the following concentrations:
without S9-mix: 10, 50, 100, 175, and 250 µg test material/ml (5 hours of treatment with test material; test material test concentrations correspond to 5 -8, 25 -40, 50-80, 87.5 -140, 125 -200 µg BHT/mL)
with S9-mix: 1, 10, 100, 500, and 1000 µg test material /ml (5 hours of treatment with test material; test material test concentrations correspond to 0.5-0.8, 5-8, 50-80, 250-400, 500-800 µg BHT/mL)
According to the preliminary experiment for toxicity the concentration ranges were selected. Starting from 100 µg test material/ml relative initial survival was slightly decreasing with increasing concentrations tested, reaching cytotoxicity effect level (i.e. only 10 -20% survival of control) at concentrations of 333 µg test material/ml in the test without metabolic activation and at 1000 µg test material/ml in thes tests with various concentrations of the S-9 mix. Nevertheless up to the highest concentration tested in the mutagenicity assay no distinct decrease of the cloning efficiency was observed.
Up to the highest investigated dose no increase in mutant colony numbers was obtained in two independent experiments.
Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase in induced mutant colonies.
In conclusion, the test item does not induce gene mutations in the HGPRT-test with Chinese hamster cells, either in the presence or in the absence of a metabolic activation system, under the experimental conditions described. Therefore the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic in this HGPRT assay.
To investigate cytogenetic potential of the test material an in vivo rat bone marrow chromosomal aberration assay was performed comparable to OECD TG 475 (study pre-guideline) and according to GLP (US FDA requirement of 1978). The test material dosed at 500 mg/kg bw (note: in this study the dose tested was adjusted to 100% BHMT, which is the submission substance of this dossier) did not produce any evidence of chromosome damage as measured by increases in chromosome aberrations, altered mitotic index (as measure for cytotoxic effects), or chromosome number as compared to concurrent controls in this assay. The positive control substance, cyclophosphamide, produced significant increase in the percent of cells displaying chromosome aberrations, average number of aberrations and decreased the mitotic index and chromosome number, confirming senstitivity of the test system applied. Under the conditions of this assay, the test substance is not cytogenetically active.
In both studies used as source the test material investigated was Reaction mass of 7-azatridecane-1,13-diamine and hexamethylenediamine (EC 907 -605 -7, which contains relevant amounts of the submission substance, i.e. 7 -azatridecane-1,13 -diamine), however in slightly different compositions.
a) In the HPGRT study the test material contained between 50 to 80% of 7 -azatridecane-1,13 -diamine (i.e. BHMT, the submission substance), below 10% of another amine and water. Both of the amines in the reaction mass are classified as skin corrosive substances, thus for both constituents of the test material a relevant and comparable level of cytotoxicity is expected in a cell based assay (comparable due to structural similarity). Cytotoxicity was observed in the dose range finding study of this gene mutation study in mammalian cells, thus the highest tested doses were limited to the doses were 10 -20% of relative survival was seen. In theory, the concentrations which could have been tested with the submission substance, if pure test material would have been used, could have been slightly higher however no relevant influence is assumed, as the results obtained were clearly negative at the tested concentrations up to the appropriate level inducing cytotoxic effects. The study is therefore regarded adequate to cover the data requirements.
b) In the in vivo bone marrow chromosomal aberration study the test material dosing was adjusted by the study authors to 100% of 7 -azatridecane-1,13 -diamine (i.e. BHMT), which is the submission substance of this registration, thus the study investigated the submission substance up to the limit dose in a dose range finding study and up to the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) in the main test as required by the current guideline. The study is therefore regarded adequate to cover the data requirement.
Justification for classification or non-classification
In the adequate and reliable data presented above no mutagenic activity of the submission substance was observed, thus no classification for germ cell mutagenicity according to the criteria of Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008 is proposed.
