- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium
- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): The cells were seeded into Quadriperm dishes (Heraeus, D-63450 Hanau) which contained microscopic slides (at least 2 chambers per dish and test group. In each chamber 44000 cells/slide were seeded with regard to preparation time. The medium was MEM + 10 % FCS (complete medium).
TREATMENT:
EXPOSURE PERIOD 4 hours (with S9 mix): The culture medium of exponentially growing cell cultures was replaced with serum-free medium containing different concentrations of the test article and 50 µL/mL S9 mix. After 4 h the cultures were washed twice with "Saline G" and then the cells were cultured in complete medium for the remaining culture time.
EXPOSURE PERIOD 18 hours (without S9 mix): The culture medium of exponentially growing cell cultures was replaced with complete medium (10 % FCS) containing different concentrations of the test article without S9 mix. The medium was not changed until preparation of the cells. All cultures were incubated at 37° C in a humidified atmosphere with 4.5 % C02 (95.5 % air).
PREPARATION OF THE CULTURES:
16 h after the start of the treatment colcemid was added (0.2 µg/ml culture medium) to the cultures. 2 h later, the cells on the slides were treated in the chambers with hypotonic solution (0.4 % KCl) for 20 min at 37° C. After incubation in the hypotonic solution the cells were fixed with 3 + 1 methanol + glacial acetic acid. Per experiment both slides per group were prepared. After preparation the cells were stained with Giemsa. Additionally, two cultures V79 cells per treatment group, not treated with Colcemid, were set up in parallel. These cultures were stained in order to determine microscopically the cell number within 10 defined fields per slide. The toxicity of the substance is given as reduction of % cells as compared to the solvent control.
ANALYSIS OF METAPHASE CELLS:
Evaluation of the cultures was performed (according to standard protocol of the "Arbeitsgruppe der Industrie, Cytogenetik" (9)) using NIKON microscopes with 100x oil immersion objectives. Breaks, fragments, deletions, exchanges and chromosome disintegrations were recorded as structural chromosome aberrations. Gaps were recorded as well but not included in the calculation of the aberration rates. 100 well spread metaphases per culture were scored for cytogenetic damage on coded slides. Only metaphases with characteristic chromosome numbers of 22 ± 1 were included in the analysis. To describe a cytotoxic effect the mitotic index (% cells in mitosis) was determined. In addition, the number of polyploid cells was determined (% polyploid metaphases; in the case of this aneuploid cell line polyploid means a near tetraploid karyotype). - Rationale for test conditions:
- according to OECD test guideline 473
- Evaluation criteria:
- A test article is classified as non-mutagenic if:
- the number of induced structural chromosome aberrations in all evaluated dose groups are in the range of our historical control data (0.0 - 4.0 % aberrant cells exclusive gaps).
- no significant increase of the number of structural chromosome aberrations are observed.
A test article is classified as mutagenic if:
- the number of induced structural chromosome aberrations are not in the range of our historical control data (0.0 - 4.0 % aberrant cells exclusive gaps).
- either a concentration-related or a significant increase of the number of structural chromosome aberrations are observed. - Statistics:
- Statistical significance was confirmed by means of the Fischer's exact test

- RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The highest applied concentration in the pre-test on toxicity (1600 µg/ml) was chosen with regard to the current OECD Guideline for in vitro mammalian cytogenetic tests. Test concentrations between 12.5 and 1600 µg/ml (with and without S9 mix) were applied for the assessment of the cytotoxic potential. In the absence of S9 mix reduced cell numbers below 50 % of the corresponding control were observed after treatment with 12.5 µg/ml (21 % of control) and above. In the presence of S9 mix after 4 h treatment reduced cell numbers were determined at 25.0 µg/ml (22 % of control) and above. Precipitation of the test article in culture medium was observed in the absence of S9 mix after treatment with 100 µg/ml and at 200 µg/ml in the presence of S9 mix. No influence of the test article on the pH value or osmolarity was observed (solvent control: 280 mOsm, pH 7.3 versus 278 mOsm and pH 7.3 at 1600 µg/ml).
MAIN EXPERIMENT:
In the main experiment the mitotic indices of the evaluated concentrations in the presence and absence of S9 were reduced to 39.1 % (2.5 µg/mL) and 26.5 % (12.5 µg/mL) of control. However, the corresponding cell numbers were not reduced. The evaluation of cultures after treatment with the next higher concentrations was not feasible, since no or not enough mitotic cells were found. Thus, only the concentrations groups 2.5 µg/mL (without S9) and 12.5 µg/mL (with S9) were chosen for further evaluation for structural chromosome aberrations. Neither a significant nor a statistically relevant increase in the number of cells carrying structural chromosome aberrations was observed. In the absence and in the presence of S9 mix, the aberration rates of the cells after treatment with the test article (0.5 % and 1.0 %, excluding gaps) were near to the range of the solvent control values (1.0 % - 2.0 %) and within the range of our historical control data: 0.0 % - 4.0 %. EMS (600 µg/ml) and CPA (0.71 µg/ml) were used as positive controls and showed distinct increases in cells with structural chromosome aberrations. In conclusion, it can be stated that in the study described and under the experimental conditions reported, the test article did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in V79 cells (Chinese hamster cell line).

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, it can be stated that in the study described and under the experimental conditions reported, the test article did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in V79 cells (Chinese hamster cell line).
- Executive summary:
In an in vitro chromosome aberration test (in accordance to OECD 473), V79 Chinese hamster lung cell cultures were exposed to the test item (90% purity), solved in deionised water, at concentrations of 0, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5.0 and 10.0 µg/mL without metabolic activation and with metabolic activation of concentrations of 0, 3.125, 6.25, 12.5, 18.75 and 25.0 µg/mL. The test item was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations. Positive controls induced the appropriate response. There was no evidence of structural chromosome aberrations induced over background. This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OECD 473 for in vitro cytogenetic mutagenicity data.
