Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
hepatocytes: Male (DNA019) and female (DNA019A) Fischer rat hepatocytes in primary culture
Metabolic activation:
not specified
Genotoxicity:
positive
Remarks:
Marginal genotoxicity response at 500 µg/ml: mean net grain count = +1.1 (DNA019) and +2.3 (DNA0.19A) - % cells in repair: 18% (DNA019) and 32 % (DNA019A)
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
cytotoxicity
Remarks:
Cytotoxic effect from 1000 µg/ml upwards
Positive controls validity:
other: Positive control induced incorporation of many nuclear grains at both concentration indicating an intense DNA repair synthesis

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
PCR 0665 induced a marginal genotoxicity response in the in vitro DNA repair assay at 500 µg/ml only. No genotoxic effects at lower concentrations.
