- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Following solubility checks performed in-house, the test item was accurately weighed and formulated in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) prior to serial dilutions being prepared. The test item was considered to be a complex mixture (UVCB) therefore the maximum proposed dose level in the solubility test was set at 5000 μg/mL, the maximum recommended dose level, and no correction for the purity of the test item was applied. However, the test item was not suitable for dosing at this concentration. The concentration was therefore reduced until a suspension suitable for dosing was achieved at 1250 μg/mL. There was no marked change in pH when the test item was dosed into media and the osmolality did not increase by more than 50 mOsm.

- Executive summary:
Introduction
The study was conducted according to a method that was designed to assess the potential mutagenicity of the test item on the thymidine kinase, TK +/-, locus of the L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell line. The method was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No 490 "In Vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Tests Using the Thymidine Kinase Gene" adopted 28 July 2015, Method B17 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, the US EPA OPPTS 870.5300 Guideline, and in alignment with the Japanese EPA/MITI/MHW guidelines for testing of new chemical substances
Methods
One main Mutagenicity Test was performed. In this main test, L5178Y TK +/- 3.7.2c mouse lymphoma cells (heterozygous at the thymidine kinase locus) were treated with the test item at eight dose levels in duplicate, together with vehicle (DMSO), and positive controls using 4 hour exposure groups both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation (2% S9), and a 24 hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation.
Results
The maximum dose level used in the Mutagenicity Test was limited by the onset of test item precipitate. The vehicle control cultures had mutant frequency values that were acceptable for the L5178Y cell line at the TK +/- locus. The positive control substances induced marked increases in the mutant frequency, sufficient to indicate the satisfactory performance of the test and of the activity of the metabolizing system.
The test item did not induce any toxicologically significant increases in the mutant frequency at any of the dose levels in the main test, in any of the three exposure groups.

- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- The test item was tested using the following method. The maximum concentration was 5000 μg/plate (the maximum recommended dose level). Eight concentrations of the test item (1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 μg/plate) were assayed in triplicate against each tester strain, using the direct plate incorporation method.
- Vehicle / solvent:
- The test item was immiscible in sterile distilled water, dimethyl sulphoxide and dimethyl formamide at 50 mg/mL and acetone at 100 mg/mL but was fully soluble in tetrahydrofuran at 200 mg/mL in solubility checks performed in–house. Tetrahydrofuran was therefore selected as the vehicle.

- Executive summary:
The vehicle (tetrahydrofuran) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 μg/plate. There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix), in the first mutation test and consequently the same maximum dose level was used in the second mutation test. Similarly there was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix), in the second mutation test. A test item precipitate (globular in appearance) was noted by eye at 5000 μg/plate, this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in two separate experiments.

- Species / strain / cell type:

- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- Cells (whole blood cultures) were grown in Eagle's minimal essential medium with HEPES
buffer (MEM), supplemented “in-house” with L-glutamine, penicillin/streptomycin,
amphotericin B and 10 % fetal bovine serum (FBS), at approximately 37 ºC with 5 % CO2 in
humidified air. The lymphocytes of fresh heparinized whole blood were stimulated to divide
by the addition of phytohaemagglutinin (PHA). - Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- S9 mix
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- The test item was considered to be a UVCB* and therefore the maximum recommended dose
was 5000 μg/mL. However, due to formulation difficulties, the maximum dose level that
could be achieved was 1250 μg/mL. The purity of the test item was treated as 100% and was
therefore not accounted for in the test item formulations. - Untreated negative controls:

- Conclusions:
- The test item, Amines, (2-ethylhexyl)(hydrogenated tallow alkyl)methyl (CAS 1078712-76-
1), did not induce any statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with
chromosome aberrations, in either the absence or presence of a liver enzyme metabolizing
system. The test item was therefore considered to be non-clastogenic to human lymphocytes
in vitro.
Referenceopen allclose all
There was evidence of only very modest toxicity following exposure to the test item in the 4 and 24-hour exposure groups in the absence of metabolic activation, as indicated by the %RSG and RTG values when compared to that of the Preliminary Toxicity Test. This difference in toxicity was considered to be due to the greasy / oily nature of the test item precipitate resulting in variable exposure of the test item to the cells. However, it should be noted that the precipitate observations were consistent with those of the Preliminary Toxicity Test. The test item was therefore considered to have been adequately tested. There was no evidence of any significant reductions in viability (%V) in
any of the three exposure groups, indicating that residual toxicity had not occurred. Acceptable levels of toxicity were seen with the positive control substances.
Precipitate of the test item was observed at 625 μg/mL in the 4-hour exposure groups in both the absence and presence of metabolic activation, and at 156.25 μg/mL in the 24-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation.
The vehicle controls had mutant frequency values that were considered acceptable for the L5178Y cell line at the TK +/- locus. The positive controls produced marked increases in the mutant frequency per viable cell achieving the acceptability criterion, indicating that the test system was operating satisfactorily, and that the metabolic activation system was functional.
The test item did not induce any toxicologically significant or dose related (linear-trend) increases in the mutant frequency x 10 -^6 per viable cell at any of the dose levels (including precipitating dose levels as recommended by the OECD 490 Guideline), in any of the three exposure groups.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The notified substance was negative in OECD 471, 473, and 490 assays; therefore, mutagenicity and genotoxicity is not expected and no classification is warranted.
