- Photoperiod (hrs dark / hrs light): Lighting was artificial, and a 12h light/dark cycle.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: 1 % CMC (carboxymethyl cellulose)

Details on exposure:

PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:
Sample preparation was following the dosage design to weigh the test sample of all groups. Then
5000mg, 2500mg and 1250mg of the test sample were weighed and 1% sodium carboxymethylcellulose
were added to 20ml and mixed extensively as the test sample.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

Double oral gavages (24h's interval).
Dose volume 0.4mL/20g bw.
20h after the 2nd gavage, mice were executed by cervical dislocation.

Frequency of treatment:

double oral gavages

No. of animals per sex per dose:

5 groups by body weight, 10 for each group, half of each sex

Control animals:

yes

Positive control(s):

cyclophosphamide

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

Femur marrow
polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE)
normal chromatic erythrocytes (NCE)

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: acute oral LD50 of male and female mice

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION: Femur marrow was fetched out and mixed with bovine serum.
Slides were smeared, fixed and stained by Giemsa's solution.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS: rate of cell containing micronucleus of the dosage groups was
analysed by U-test of Poisson distribution

Evaluation criteria:

Observed under the microscope, 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) of each mouse were counted and number
of PCE containing micronucleus was recorded, and then rate of cell containing micronucleus
was calculated as per mil. As 200 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) were counted, normal
chromatic erythrocytes (NCE) were also counted to obtain the value of PCE/RBC.

Statistics:

U test of Poisson distribution

Executive summary:

Summary

According to the test protocol of the Guidelines for the Testing of Chemicals (2004) 474 of National

Environment Protection Agency, Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test of

2,2'-iminobis[4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine] (CAS No.: 3576-88-3) has been performed.

Mice were divided randomly into 5 groups by body weights, 10 for each group, half of each sex.

The acute oral LD50 of male and female mice were all greater than 5000mg/kg. Then 5000mg/kg was set as

the highest dose group for this test, 1/2 LD50 and 1/4 LD50 were middle dosage group and low dosage

group respectively, namely 5000mg/kg, 2500 mg/kg, 1250mg/kg, a negative control group (1% sodium

carboxymethylcellulose), and a positive control group of cyclophosphamide.

The test sample of various doses, the positive control and the negative control was administered to the mice by oral gavages twice

daily (24h's interval). All mice were weighed and gavage volume was 0.4ml/20g bw. 20h after the 2nd

gavage, mice were executed by cervical dislocation.

Femur marrow was fetched out and mixed with bovine serum.

Slides were smeared, fixed and stained by Giemsa's solution. Observed under the

microscope, 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) of each mouse were counted and the number of

PCE containing micronucleus was recorded, and then rate of cell containing micronucleus was

calculated as per mil. As 200 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) were counted, normal chromatic

erythrocytes (NCE) were also counted to obtain the value of PCE/RBC. Compared with the negative

group, rate of cell containing micronucleus of the dosage groups was analyzed by U test of Poisson

distribution.

Result and conclusion:

Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test of 2,2'-iminobis[4,6-diamino-1,3,5-triazine] (CAS No.: 3576-88-3) is negative.
