DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: plates were assessed for numbers of revertant colonies and examined for effects on the growth of the bacterial background lawn. - Evaluation criteria:
- There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested.
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data.
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response).
A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
Although most experiments will give clear positive or negative results, in some instances the data generated will prohibit making a definite judgement about test item activity. Results of this type will be reported as equivocal. - Statistics:

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative suspension growth and relative total growth - Evaluation criteria:
- The normal range for mutant frequency per survivor is 50-170 x 10^6 for the TK+/- locus in L5178Y cells at the testing laboratory. Vehicle controls results should ideally be within this range, although minor errors in cell counting and dilution or exposure to the metabolic activation system may cause this to be slightly elevated. Experiments where the vehicle control values are markedly greater than 200 x 10^6 mutant frequency per survivor are not normally acceptable and have to be repeated.
Positive control chemicals should induce at least three to five fold increases in mutant frequency greater than the corresponding vehicle control. - Statistics:
- UKEMS statistical package (Robinson W.D. et al 1989) was used. No further details were given.

- Effects of osmolality: The osmolality did not increase by more than 50 mOsm in a solubility test.
- Precipitation: No precipitate of the test item was observed at any dose level.
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
A dose range preliminary toxicity test with the test item was performed. Cell cultures were treated with 19.53 to 5000 µg/mL for 4 hours with metabolic activation and for 4 and 24 hours without metabolic acitvation. There was evidence of marked dose-related reductions in the Relative Suspension Growth (%RSG) of cells treated with the test item when compared to the concurrent vehicle controls. The nature of the toxicity curve was very steep in all exposure groups. No precipitate of the test item was observed at any dose level. Based on the %RSG values observed, the maximum dose levels in the subsequent Mutagenicity Test were limited by test item-induced toxicity.

POLYMERISATION INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): cytochalasin B
STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): 5% Giemsa for 5 minutes
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: two cultures per concentration
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 1000 binucleated cells per culture, two cultures per concentration
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Cytokinesis Block Proliferation Index (CBPI):
Approximately 500 cells per culture were scored for the incidence of mononucleate, binucleate and multinucleate cells and the CBPI value expressed as a percentage of the vehicle controls. The CBPI indicates the number of cell cycles per cell during the period of exposure to Cytochalasin B. It was used to calculate cytotoxicity by the following formula:
Cytotoxicity = 100 {(CBPIt - 1)/(CBPIc - 1)}
where:
CBPI = No. mononucleate cells + (2 x No. binucleate cells) + (3 x No. multinucleate cells)/Total number of cells
and:
t = test chemical treatment culture
c = vehicle control culture. - Evaluation criteria:
- Cells with 1, 2 or more micronuclei were recorded as such but the primary analysis was on the combined data. Experiments with human lymphocytes have established a range of micronucleus frequencies acceptable for control cultures in normal volunteer donors.
The criteria for identifying micronuclei was that they were round or oval in shape, nonrefractile, not linked to the main nuclei and with a diameter that was approximately less than a third of the mean diameter of the main nuclei. Bi-nucleate cells were selected for scoring if they had two nuclei of similar size with intact nuclear membranes situated in the same cytoplasmic boundary. The two nuclei could be attached by a fine nucleoplasms bridge which was approximately no greater than one quarter of the nuclear diameter. - Statistics:
- The frequency of cells with micronuclei was compared, where necessary, with the concurrent vehicle control value using Chi-squared Test on observed numbers of cells with micronuclei. A toxicologically significant response was recorded when the p value calculated from the statistical analysis of the frequency of cells with micronuclei was less than 0.05 and there was a dose-related increase in the frequency of cells with aberrations which was reproducible.

- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: There was no significant change in pH when the test item was dosed into media.
- Effects of osmolality: The osmolality did not increase by more than 50 mOsm when test item was dosed into media.
- Precipitation: In the main experiment, no precipitate was seen at the end of the exposure period.
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
A preliminary toxicity test was performed with dose concentrations of 19.53, 39.06, 78.13, 156.25, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/mL.
A precipitate was noted at the end of exposure in the blood cultures of the 20-hour exposure group at 625 to 2500 µg/mL. Haemolysis was observed at the end of the exposure period at and above 156.25 µg/mL. Haemolysis is a common observation in studies using whole blood and is due to the action of the test item on the cell membranes of the red blood cells (erythrocytes) and not to the lymphocytes. It is considered that this effect is not fully related to the toxicity imparted on the lymphocytes and, therefore, has no effect on the outcome of the test.
Microscopic assessment of the slides prepared from the exposed cultures showed that binucleate cells were present at up to 156.25 µg/mL. The test item demonstrated marked evidence of toxicity in all exposure groups with a steep toxicity curve.
The maximum dose level selected for the main experiments was based on toxicity and was limited to 320 µg/mL in the exposure groups of the main experiments.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
Historical aberration ranges for the vehicle and positive control were given in the report. In the main experiment, micronucleus frequency of the vehicle control was below the current in-house historical range. Micronucleus frequency of the positive control was within the historical ranges except the value at the 20 hrs treatment was lower (micronucleus frequency of 2.23 vs. 3.5-6.2 in the historical control). - Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results: Negative in human peripheral lymphocytes with and without metabolic activation.

Genetic toxicity in vitro
Gene mutation in bacteria
Ethanesulfonic acid, 2 -(methylamino)-, N-coco acyl derivs., sodium salts was tested for its potential induction of gene mutation in bacteria in an Ames test conducted according to OECD Guideline 471 and under GLP conditions (Croda, 2012). S. typhimurium and E. coli tester strains (TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and WP2uvrA) were treated with the test material dissolved in distilled water at seven concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate, using both the plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods and in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix). Negative, vehicle and appropriate positive controls were included.
The test item caused a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns and/or substantial reductions in the revertant colony frequency of all of the Salmonella tester strains, initially from 500 µg/plate in both the presence and absence of S9-mix. No toxicity was noted to Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA in either the absence or presence of S9-mix at any test item dose level. No test item precipitate was observed at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9-mix. No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the tester strains, at any concentration either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. The negative, vehicle and positive controls yielded the expected results and the respective frequency of revertant colonies was within the range of the reported historical control values.
Based on the study results, the test substance was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of the test.
Cytogenicity in mammalian cells
Cytogenicity of Ethanesulfonic acid, 2 -(methylamino)-, N-coco acyl derivs., sodium salts was investigated in an in vitro micronucleus test with human lymphocytes according to OECD guideline 487 and under GLP conditions (Croda, 2013d). Duplicate cultures of cells were treated with 40, 80, 160, 200, 240, and 320 µg/mL test substance dissolved in medium for 4 hours with and without metabolic activation and for 20 hours without metabolic activation. Controls were treated with the vehicle or appropriate positive control substances. Three dose levels per approach were evaluated for micronuclei in binucelated cells: 4-hour exposure without S9: 200, 240, 320 µg/mL, 4-hour exposure with S9-mix: 160, 200, 240 µg/mL and 20-hour without S9: 40, 80, 160 µg/mL. No precipitation of the test substance was observed. Cytotoxicity was observed during the 4-hour treatment without S9-mix at 240 µg/mL and above as well as with S9-mix at 320 µg/mL and within the 20-hour treatment at 160 µg/mL and above. The test item did not induce any increases in the frequency of cells with micronuclei, in either the absence or presence of metabolic activation after both the 4- and 20-hour exposure period. All vehicle controls had frequencies of cells with micronuclei within the range expected for normal human lymphocytes. The positive control items induced statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with micronuclei, indicating the satisfactory performance of the test and of the activity of the metabolising system.
Based on the study results, the test substance was considered to be non-cytogenic under the conditions of the test.
Gene mutation in mammalian cells
Mutagenic effects of Ethanesulfonic acid, 2 -(methylamino)-, N-coco acyl derivs., sodium salts on the thymidine kinase, TK +/-, locus of the L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell line were assessed in a GLP-compliant study conducted according to OECD guideline 476 (Croda, 2013e). L5178Y TK +/- 3.7.2c mouse lymphoma cells were treated with the test material at concentrations of 15 to 120 µg/mL with metabolic activation and at 10 to 100 µg/mL without metabolic activation system (S9-mix). Vehicle and appropriate positive controls were included. Two independent experiments were performed. In the first experiment, cells were exposed to the test material for 4 hours in the presence and absence of S9-mix. In the second experiment, cells were treated for 4 hours with metabolic activation and for 24 hours without metabolic activation.
Cytotoxicity was observed in experiment 1 at 90 µg/mL and above with metabolic activation and at 70 µg/mL and above without metabolic activation. In experiment 2, cytotoxic effects were observed at 90 µg/mL in the presence of metabolic activation and at 50 µg/mL and above in the absence of metabolic activation. No precipitate of the test item was observed at any dose level.
The test material did not induce any toxicologically relevant increases in the mutant frequency at any concentration, either with or without metabolic activation. The vehicle controls had acceptable mutant frequency values that were within the normal range for the L5178Y cell line at the TK +/- locus. The positive control items induced marked increases in the mutant frequency.
The test material was thus considered to be non-mutagenic in L5178Y
cells under the conditions of the test.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on genetic toxicity of the test substance do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
