- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium
DURATION
- Exposure duration: 4 hours

Cloning efficiency: 7 days
Mutant selection: 9 and 12 days (experiments 2 and 1, respectively)

Cloning efficiency: 7 and 14 days
Mutant selection: 16 and 19 days (experiments 2 and 1, respectively)
Counting of colonies: the colonies were stained with 10 % methylene blue in 0.01 % KOH solution. Stained colonies with more than 50 cells were counted. In doubt the colony size was checked with a preparation microscope.
SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): thioguanine, 11 µg/mL medium (Sigma, Deisenhofen, Germany)
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 1 replication in 2 independent experiments
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: determination of concentration-related cloning efficiency on day 7 after start of exposure; determination of cell survival on day 14 after start of exposure (end of selection time) - Evaluation criteria:
- The test substance is considered to be positive if it induces either a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency or a reproducible positive response for one of the test points.
A test material producing neither a concentration-related increase in the mutant frequency nor a reproducible positive response in any of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
A significant response is:
1) test substance induces reproducibly with one of the concentrations a mutation frequency that is 3 times higher than the spontaneous mutation frequency in the experiment
2) test substance induces reproducible concentration-related increase of the mutation frequency. May also be considered in case a 3-fold increase of the mutant frequency is not observed.
In a case-by-case evaluation the decision depends on the level of the corresponding negative control data.
Results and discussion
Test results
- Species / strain:
- Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79)
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
- no cytotoxicity, but tested up to precipitating concentrations
- Remarks:
- precipitation at limit of water solubility at 100 µg/mL observed.
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Untreated negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Water solubility: Due to limited solubility of the test substance higher concentrations than 100 µg/mL for the cytogenetic evaluation were not feasible.
- Precipitation: observed at concentrations higher than 100 µg/mL
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES
Data on the pre-test were obtained from the chromosomal aberration study (IUCLID section 7.6.1: key, Emery, 1994, ChrAb, RL1)
A pre-test was performed to determine the toxicity of the test article. The test substance was dissolved in ethanol due to its solubility properties. The highest attainable concentration was 100 µg/mL, at which a slight precipitation was observed. No toxic effects were observed up to and including the highest dose level.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: yes (data not presented)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
In parallel to the mutagenicity testing the cloning efficiency was tested. Without metabolic activation the relative cloning efficiencies were between 64.2 - 91.8 % in treated cells compared to control cells. With metabolic activation the relative cloning efficiencies were between 92.4 - 109.7 % in treated cells compared to control cells.
No statistically significant increase in gene mutations was observed (see Table 1 and 2). The positive controls were shown to be valid. - Remarks on result:

- Migrated from field 'Test system'.
