Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
Salmonella/ mammalian-microsome test was performed to evaluate the mutagenic nature of the test compound Ext. D&C Yellow No. 1. The study was performed using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA1537, TA100, TA1535 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. The test material was dissolved in DMSO and used at dose levels from 10-250 mg. DMSO was used as the solvent control. The 2 ml of liquid top agar was cooled to 45°C and 0.1 ml of a broth culture of microorganism and test substance in volumes of ≤ 0.4 ml of DMSO was added prior to placing on minimal agar plates. After 48 h incubation at 37°C, the colonies which reverted to the prototroph were counted and compared to counts on the control plate (containing no test substance) to demonstrate mutagenicity or toxicity. Materials which caused a 2-fold increase of revertants, as compared to the number of spontaneous revertants on the control plates, were denoted as mutagens. Those which reduced the number of revertants were considered inhibitory. Ext. D&C Yellow No. 1 did not induce genemutation in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1537, TA100, TA1535 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is negative for gene mutation in vitro.

Genetic toxicity in vivo
Description of key information
In vivo mammalian chromosome aberration assay was performed to determine the clastogenic nature of Metanil yellow. Laboratory bred 10 Swiss albino male mice were given metanil yellow in distilled water by gavage at dose level of 0 or 2 mg/Kg bw once daily for 30 days.Controls were fed 0.05 ml of distilled water daily for 30 days. The animals were killed on the completion of 30 days treatment, starting from 0 day. Colchicine (0.04%) was injected intraperitoneally at the rate of 1 ml/100 g body wt, 90 min before the animal was killed.
For chromosome studies, flame dried preparations of bone marrow chromosomes were stained in Giemsa by the usual schedule. A total of 600 metaphase plates were scanned from the 10 animals killed in each set of experiments and the slides were observed for chromatid and chromosomal breaks, chromatid and chromosomal exchanges and number of breaks per metaphase was analysed by the Z/B ratio.
A significant increase in the frequency of the chromosomal aberrations (index Z/B) was found with metanil yellow treated series when compared with the controls.
Metanil yellow induced chromosome aberrations in the bone marrow of Swiss albino male mice at a dose level of 2 mg/Kg bw and hence it is likely to be mutagenic in vitro.

- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: The dose in this experiment was calculated based on the idea that 200 ppm of the dye is allowed in food in India. The dose selected for dye depends on the assumption that a person can consume a maximum of about 100 mg of dye from foods every day. If a person weighing 50 kg consumes 100 mg of dye or nitrite per day then automatically the value comes to 2 mg/kg. These doses may appear a bit higher than normal human consumption, but
since the investigation was limited to only 30 days, it is conjectured that these doses were justified if the cumulative effects of these dyes on human beings for years was considered.

Additional information
Gene mutation in vitro:
Various peer reviewed publications were reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of Metanil yellow (IUPAC name: sodium 3-[(4-anilinophenyl)diazenyl]benzenesulfonate). The studies are as mentioned below:
Salmonella/ mammalian-microsome test was performed by Muzall and Cook (Mutation Research, 1979) to evaluate the mutagenic nature of the test compound Ext. D&C Yellow No. 1 (CAS no 587 -98 -4). The study was performed using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA1537, TA100, TA1535 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. The test material was dissolved in DMSO and used at dose levels from 10-250 mg. DMSO was used as the solvent control. The 2 ml of liquid top agar was cooled to 45°C and 0.1 ml of a broth culture of microorganism and test substance in volumes of ≤ 0.4 ml of DMSO was added prior to placing on minimal agar plates. After 48 h incubation at 37°C, the colonies which reverted to the prototroph were counted and compared to counts on the control plate (containing no test substance) to demonstrate mutagenicity or toxicity. Materials which caused a 2-fold increase of revertants, as compared to the number of spontaneous revertants on the control plates, were denoted as mutagens. Those which reduced the number of revertants were considered inhibitory. Ext. D&C Yellow No. 1 did not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1537, TA100, TA1535 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is negative for gene mutation in vitro.
In the same study by Muzall and Cook (Mutation Research, 1979), Salmonella/ mammalian-microsome test (Spot test) was performed to evaluate the mutagenic nature of Ext. D&C Yellow No. 1 (CAS no 587 -98 -4). The spot test was used to screen the test material for potential mutagenicity. The test material was placed in the center of the plate. The test compound was tested with and without the S9 mix. Inhibition of the bacterium was indicated by a clearing of the background lawn in a zone surrounding the test material. Mutagenicity was indicated by a clustering of revertant colonies directly around the test material or at the edge of the inhibitory zone. A known mutagen, Captan, was used as a reference mutagen. Ext. D&C Yellow No. 1 did not induce genemutation gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA1537, TA100, TA1535 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system in the spot test performed and hence is negative for gene mutation in vitro.
In another study by Szybalski (Annals of the NY Academy of Science, 1958), Gene mutation toxicity study was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of metanil yellow (CAS no 587 -98 -4). Genetic toxicity test was performed on strain of Escherichia coli (strain Sd-4-73) by paper disk method. Paper-disk method was performed to check for the ability of E. coli Sd-4-73 to show reversion from streptomycin dependence to independence. Overnight culture of strain Sd-4-73 grown at 36°C in aerated nutrient broth containing 20 µg/ml of streptomycin was used as a inoculum. The culture was centrifuged and washed at least twice with saline or distilled water to remove the extraneous streptomycin, and was resuspended in saline to a concentration of approximately 109 cells/ml. 0.1-ml aliquot of this suspension was mixed with 2.5 ml of molten soft nutrient agar (0.7 per cent agar) and poured over a base of 20 ml of 1.5 per cent nutrient agar. After the soft layer was solidified, the mutagen was applied in form of small drops or crystal. Additional plates were prepared with small inocula (one fifth and one twenty-fifth of the original) so as not to miss the optimum cell density; the number of cells per plate was rather critical, the yield of mutant colonies being reduced either by crowding or by insufficient population size. After the soft agar layer had set, the mutagen, in the form of a microdrop of solution (0.01 to 0.025 ml.) or a small crystal, was applied to a small filter-paper disk resting on the agar. To determine whether the substance was inhibitory for the assay organism at the concentration employed, the procedure was repeated on a nutrient agar plate containing 100 µg/ml of streptomycin and seeded with approximately 107bacteria. Mutagenicity was manifested as a zone of streptomycin- independent mutant colonies around a filter-paper disk saturated with the mutagenic agent and resting on the surface of streptomycin-free nutrient agar seeded heavily with a streptomycin-dependent parental population. Metanil yellow did not induce mutation from streptomycin dependence to independence in Escherichia coli (strain Sd-4-73) and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
Based on the data available for the target chemical, metanil yellow does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro.
Gene mutation in vivo:
Various peer reviewed publicatiosns were reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of Metanil yellow in vivo. The studies are as mentioned below:
In vivo mammalian chromosome aberration assay was performed by Giri et al (Cancer letters, 1986) to determine the clastogenic nature of Metanil yellow. Laboratory bred 10 Swiss albino male mice were given metanil yellow in distilled water by gavage at dose level of 0 or 2 mg/Kg bw once daily for 30 days.Controls were fed 0.05 ml of distilled water daily for 30 days. The animals were killed on the completion of 30 days treatment, starting from 0 day. Colchicine (0.04%) was injected intraperitoneally at the rate of 1 ml/100 g body wt, 90 min before the animal was killed. For chromosome studies, flame dried preparations of bone marrow chromosomes were stained in Giemsa by the usual schedule. A total of 600 metaphase plates were scanned from the 10 animals killed in each set of experiments and the slides were observed for chromatid and chromosomal breaks, chromatid and chromosomal exchanges and number of breaks per metaphase was analysed by the Z/B ratio. A significant increase in the frequency of the chromosomal aberrations (index Z/B) was found with metanil yellow treated series when compared with the controls. Metanil yellow induced chromosome aberrations in the bone marrow of Swiss albino male mice at a dose level of 2 mg/Kg bw and hence it is likely to be mutagenic in vivo.
In yet another study performed by Giri et al (Cancer letters, 1986) In vivo sister chromatid exchange assay was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of Metanil yellow. 7 Laboratory bred Swiss albino male mice each were injected intraperitoneally with 0, 2.5, 5, 10, 20, 40, 100 and 200 mg/kg body wt metanil yellow respectively dissolved in DMSO. Before treatment with metanil yellow, each mouse was implanted subcutaneously in the neck with a 50 mg tablet of 5-bromodeoxyuridine (BrDu). All mice received an i.p. injection of colchicine (5 mg/kg) 21-22 h after subcutaneous implantation of BrDU. Two hours later the animals were killed by cervical dislocation and bone marrow chromosomes were prepared for sister chromatid exchange observations. After 24 hrs treatment period, the slides were observed for the induction of SCEs. Marked increase in the frequency of SCEs was observed in all the treated series except 2.5 mg/kg conc. when compared with distilled water controls. When given the highest concentration, i.e. 200 mg/kg, 2 mice died in the metanil yellow treated group. Also this concentration was apparently too toxic for the cells. Metanil yellow induced sister chromatid exchanges in the bone marrow of Swiss albino male mice and hence it is likely to be mutagenic in vivo.
In another study, In vivo mammalian chromosome aberration assay was performed by Giri et al (Cytologia, 1988) to determine the mutagenic nature of Metanil yellow. 7 Swiss albino male mice were given doses of metanil yellow at dose levels of 0 or 2 mg/Kg bw by gavage for 30 days. After 30 days, seven treated mice and all the control mice were killed by cervical dislocation. A significant increase in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations (index Z/B) was found in the bone marrow of mice treated with metanil yellow for 30 days. Based on the observation made, metanil yellow can be considered to be a strong clastogen in vivo.
Based on the data available for the target chemical, metanil yellow (CAS no 587 -98 -4; IUPAC name: sodium 3-[(4-anilinophenyl)diazenyl]benzenesulfonate) does exhibit gene mutation in vivo.
Since the availability of the data is from old studies for genetic toxicity in vitro and in vivo, hence new studies should be conducted to determine the toxic nature of metanil yellow using chromosome aberration assay.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the data available for the target chemical, metanil yellow (CAS no 587 -98 -4; IUPAC name: sodium 3-[(4-anilinophenyl)diazenyl]benzenesulfonate) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. However, it does exhibit gene mutation in vivo.
Since the availability of the data is from old studies for genetic toxicity in vitro and in vivo, hence new studies should be conducted to determine the toxic nature of metanil yellow using chromosome aberration assay.
