RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
no cytotoxicity up to 1035 µg/mL after 4 hr treatment; clear cytotoxicity at >= 517.5 µg/mL after 24 hr treatment
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
without S9: Experiment IA: single signifcant increase of aberrant cells after 4 hr-treatment and 18 hr-preparation interval at 32.2 µg/mL, however, the aberration rate of 2.0 % was clearly within the historical control range; therefore regarded to be of no biological relevance
with S9: increases of aberrant cells exceeding the laboratory's control range were observed in experiment IA, IIA and IIB (see Table)
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
precipitation of test substance at >= 513 µg/mL both without and with S9; no cytotoxicity up to 1035 µg/mL after 4 hr treatment; clear cytotoxicity at >= 517.5 µg/mL after 24 hr treatment
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
without S9: single signifcant increase after 4 hr-treatment and 18 hr-preparation interval at 32.2 µg/mL, however, the aberration rate of 2.0 % was clearly within the historical control range; therefore regarded to be of no biological significance

As the significant effect of experiment IA was not repeatable in experiment IB , it was regarded as biologically not relevant.
The significant increase of structural aberrations in experiment IIA at 1035 µg/mL was confirmed at doses of 900 to 1100 µg/mL in experiment IIB. Distinct increases in the number of cells with exchanges provided additional evidence for a clastogenic potential.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative without metabolic activation
positive with metabolic activation
A clastogenic potential of acetophenone is indicated in the presence of metabolic activation by S9 mix by the induction of structural chromosomal aberrations which is confirmed by increased frequencies of exchanges. - Executive summary:
In a chromosomal aberration test with V79 cells according to OECD Guideline 473, a clastogenic potential of acetophenone is indicated in the presence of metabolic activation by S9 mix by the repeatable induction of structural chromosomal aberrations (test concentrations of 900 µg/mL and higher), which is confirmed by increased frequencies of exchanges. There was no biologically relevant increase of structural aberrations in the absence of metabolic activation nor were there any increased frequencies of polyploid cells.
