Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
The end point for the genetic toxicity in vivo for p-anisidine (104-94-9) was found to be negative in Drosophila melanogaster.

Executive summary:

Genetic toxicity in vivo test was performed in the somatic w/w+ assay of Drosophila melanogaster employing insecticide-susceptible (IS) and insecticide-resistant (IR) tester strains.Growing cultures were exposed to compound during all three instar stages of larval development. Two or three separate experiments were conducted with each single chemical at the same exposure dose.The scoring of etherized flies was carried out in a liquid containing 90 parts ethanol, one part Tween-80 and nine parts water. The eyes of adult females were inspected for mosaic light spots under a dissecting microscope at a magnification of 120×, with optical fiber illumination.For an indirect estimation of the genotoxic effectiveness of the chemicals, the frequency of clones per 10⁴cells was calculated .The chi square for a proportion was used for statistical analysis.

From the above data analysis it was found thatthe end point for the genetic toxicity in vivo for p-anisidine (104-94-9) was found to be negative in Drosophila melanogaster.
