METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Cell density at seeding: 5 x 10E5 cells per culture were seeded for each group
- Test substance added in medium
TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 3 h (Experiment A), 20 h (Experiment B)

- Spindle inhibitor: Cell cultures were treated with colchicine (0.2 μg/mL) 2.5 hours prior to harvesting.
- Methods of slide preparation and staining technique used including the stain used:
Following the selection time, cells were swollen with 0.075 M KCl hypotonic solution, then washed in fixative (approx. 10 min. in 3:1 mixture of methanol: acetic-acid until the preparation becomes free of cytoplasm) and dropped onto slides and air-dried. The preparation was stained with 5 % Giemsa for subsequent scoring of chromosome aberration frequencies.
- Criteria for scoring chromosome aberrations:
300 well-spread metaphase cells containing 22 ± 2 chromosomes were scored per test item concentration, negative and positive controls and were equally divided among the duplicates (150 metaphases/slide). Chromatid and chromosome type aberrations (gaps, deletions and exchanges) were recorded separately. Additionally, the number of polyploid and endoreduplicated cells were scored.
- Determination of polyploidy: yes
- Determination of endoreplication: yes
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
In the Pre-test on Toxicity the maximum treatment concentration was 2000 μg/mL instead of 5000 μg/mL (UVCB test item) in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation. This concentration was chosen on the basis results of the solubility test of the test item.
- Method: relative increase in cell count (RICC) - Evaluation criteria:
- Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test item is considered to be clearly positive if:
– at least one of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control,
– the increase is dose-related when evaluated with an appropriate trend test,
– any of the results are outside the distribution of the laboratory historical negative control data.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, the test item is considered clearly negative if, in all experimental conditions examined:
– none of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control,
– there is no concentration-related increase when evaluated with an appropriate trend test,
– all results are inside the distribution of the laboratory historical negative control data.
Both biological and statistical significance should be considered together. There is no requirement for verification of a clearly positive or negative response. - Statistics:
- For statistical analysis CHI2 test was utilized. The parameters evaluated for statistical analysis were the number of aberrations (with and without gaps) and number of cells with aberrations (with and without gaps). The number of aberrations in the treatment and positive control groups were compared to the concurrent negative control. The concurrent negative and positive controls and the treatment groups were compared to the laboratory historical controls, too. The data were checked for a linear trend in number of cells with aberrations (without gaps) with treatment dose using the adequate regression analysis by Microsoft Excel software.

HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA
see table 3 - Conclusions:
- The substance tested up to the cytotoxic concentrations, without and with mammalian metabolic activation system, did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in Chinese Hamster lung cells. Thus, the test item is considered as not clastogenic in this system.
- Executive summary:
The substance, suspended in DMSO, was tested in a chromosome aberration assay in V79 cells according OECD TG 473 in two independent experiments. For the cytogenetic experiments the following concentrations were selected on the basis of a pre-test on (without and with metabolic activation using rodent S9 mix) in accordance with the current OECD Guideline 473:
Experiment A with 3/20 h treatment/sampling time
without and with S9 mix 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 µg/mL test item
Experiment B with 20/20 h treatment/sampling time
without S9 mix: 7.9, 15.7 and 31.3 µg/mL test item
Experiment B with 20/28 h treatment/sampling time
without S9 mix: 7.9, 15.7 and 31.3 µg/mL test item
Experiment B with 3/28 h treatment/sampling time
with S9 mix: 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 µg/mL test item
Following treatment and recovery the cells were exposed to the spindle inhibitor colchicine (0.2 µg/mL) 2.5 hours prior to harvesting. Harvested cells were treated with fixative for ca. 10 minutes before being placed on slides and stained. In each experimental group duplicate cultures were evaluated for cytogenetic damage (150 metaphases per culture).
No precipitation of the test item was observed at any of the applied concentrations. There were no relevant changes in pH or osmolality after treatment with the test item.
Clear cytotoxicity of about 50 % was observed after test item treatment in all experimental parts.
No relevant increase in cells carrying structural chromosomal aberrations were observed, neither in the absence nor in the presence of metabolic activation.
In the presence of metabolic activation, in experiment A at concentration of 125 µg/mL and in the absence of metabolic activation in experiment B (20 h treatment, 20 h sampling) at concentration of 15.7 µg/mL the values (5 aberrant cells excluding gaps/150 cells) were slightly above the 95 % control limits of the historical control data (upper limit approximately 4 aberrant cells excluding gaps/150 cells). However, no statistical significant differences were observed after test item treatment when compared to the concurrent solvent as well as the historical control groups. In addition, no dose-response relationship was observed and therefore, the findings were not considered as being biologically relevant.
There were no biologically relevant increases in the rate of polyploid or endoreduplicated metaphases in either experiment in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
The number of aberrations found in the solvent controls was in the range of the historical laboratory control data. The concurrent positive controls ethyl methanesulphonate (0.4 and 1.0 µL/mL) and cyclophosphamide (5 µg/mL) caused the expected biologically relevant increases of cells with structural chromosome aberrations as compared to solvent controls and were compatible with the historical positive control data. Thus, the study is considered valid.
In conclusion, the substance did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in Chinese Hamster lung V79 cells, when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations in the absence and presence of metabolic activation.Thus, the test item is considered as being non-clastogenic in this system.

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Relative Cloning Efficiency - Evaluation criteria:
- Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test item is considered to be clearly positive if, in any of the experimental conditions examined:
- at least one of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control,
- any of the results are outside the distribution of the laboratory historical negative control data (based 95 % control limit),
- the increase of mutant frequency is concentration-related when evaluated with an appropriate trend test.
Test item is then considered able to induce gene mutations in cultured mammalian cells in this test system.
Providing that all acceptability criteria were fulfilled, the test item is considered clearly negative because:
- none of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control,
- there is no concentration-related increase when evaluated with an appropriate trend test,
- all results are compatible the distribution of the historical negative control data (based 95 % control limit).
- The test item is then considered unable to induce gene mutations in cultured mammalian cells in this test system. - Statistics:
- Statistical analysis was done with SPSS PC+ software for the following data:
- mutant frequency between the negative (solvent) control group and the test item or positive control item treated groups.
- mutant frequency between the laboratory historical negative (solvent) control group and concurrent negative (solvent) control, the test item or positive control item treated groups.
- The data were checked for a linear trend in mutant frequency with treatment dose using the adequate regression analysis by Microsoft Excel software.
The heterogeneity of variance between groups was checked by Bartlett's homogeneity of variance test. Where no significant heterogeneity was detected, a one-way analysis of variance was carried out. If the obtained result was positive, Duncan's Multiple Range test was used to assess the significance of inter-group differences.
Where significant heterogeneity was found, the normal distribution of data was examined by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. In case of a none-normal distribution, the non-parametric method of Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance was used. If there was a positive result, the inter-group comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney U-test. - Key result

The following concentrations were selected on the basis of a pre-test on cytotoxicity with and without metabolic activation using S9 mix of phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone induced rat liver and solubility of test item.
5-hour treatment period without S9-mix:
125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 µg/mL
5-hour treatment period with S9-mix:
125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 µg/mL
In the performed Mutation Assay the concentration levels were chosen mainly based on the maximum suspendable concentration. The 100 mg/mL was the maximum suspendable (homogenous) concentration, which was suitable for the treatment.
Phenotypic expression was evaluated up to 8 days following exposure.
In both experimental parts, there were no biologically or statistically significant increases in mutation frequency at any concentration tested, neither in the absence nor in the presence of metabolic activation. There were no statistically and biologically significant differences between treatment groups compared to the concurrent and historical control groups and no dose-response relationships were noted. All values were within the range of the laboratory historical control data.
There was no precipitation of the test item at any dose level tested. No biologically relevant changes in the osmolality of the test system were noted at the different dose levels tested. The measured pH of treatment solution was similar compared to the control values.
The mutation frequency found in the solvent controls was in the range of historical laboratory control data. The concurrent positive controls Ethyl methanesulfonate (1.0 µL/mL) and 7,12-Dimethyl benzanthracene (20 µg/mL) caused the expected biologically relevant increases of cells with mutation frequency as compared to solvent controls and were compatible with the historical positive control data. Thus, the study is considered valid.
The substance tested without and with metabolic activation system over a 5-hour treatment period did not induce statistically and biologically significant increases in mutant frequency over the background (negative solvent control).
It is concluded that the test item was not mutagenic in this in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation test performed with Chinese hamster ovary cells.

Additional information
Ames-Test:
The test substance was assessed in an Ames test according to EU method B.13/14 and OECD guideline 471 using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 100, TA 98 and TA 102. In two independent experiments several concentrations of test item were used. Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation (S9-mix). The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicate. The following concentrations of the test item were prepared and used in the experiments: 31.6; 100; 316.2; 1000; 2500 and 5000 µg/plate. No toxic effects of the test item were observed in both experiments up to the highest investigated dose in all strains used. No substantial increases in the revertant colony numbers of any of the five test strains were detected at any dose level of the test item either with or without metabolic activation in both independently performed experiments. Therefore, the test substance was considered non-mutagenic in this Ames test.
Chromosome Aberration Test:
The substance, suspended in DMSO, was tested in a chromosome aberration assay in V79 cells according OECD TG 473 in two independent experiments. For the cytogenetic experiments the following concentrations were selected on the basis of a pre-test on (without and with metabolic activation using rodent S9 mix) in accordance with the current OECD Guideline 473:
Experiment A with 3/20 h treatment/sampling time
without and with S9 mix 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 µg/mL test item
Experiment B with 20/20 h treatment/sampling time
without S9 mix: 7.9, 15.7 and 31.3 µg/mL test item
Experiment B with 20/28 h treatment/sampling time
without S9 mix: 7.9, 15.7 and 31.3 µg/mL test item
Experiment B with 3/28 h treatment/sampling time
with S9 mix: 62.5, 125, 250 and 500 µg/mL test item
Following treatment and recovery the cells were exposed to the spindle inhibitor colchicine (0.2 µg/mL) 2.5 hours prior to harvesting. Harvested cells were treated with fixative for ca. 10 minutes before being placed on slides and stained. In each experimental group duplicate cultures were evaluated for cytogenetic damage (150 metaphases per culture).
No precipitation of the test item was observed at any of the applied concentrations. There were no relevant changes in pH or osmolality after treatment with the test item.
Clear cytotoxicity of about 50 % was observed after test item treatment in all experimental parts.
No relevant increase in cells carrying structural chromosomal aberrations were observed, neither in the absence nor in the presence of metabolic activation.
In the presence of metabolic activation, in experiment A at concentration of 125 µg/mL and in the absence of metabolic activation in experiment B (20 h treatment, 20 h sampling) at concentration of 15.7 µg/mL the values (5 aberrant cells excluding gaps/150 cells) were slightly above the 95 % control limits of the historical control data (upper limit approximately 4 aberrant cells excluding gaps/150 cells). However, no statistical significant differences were observed after test item treatment when compared to the concurrent solvent as well as the historical control groups. In addition, no dose-response relationship was observed and therefore, the findings were not considered as being biologically relevant.
There were no biologically relevant increases in the rate of polyploid or endoreduplicated metaphases in either experiment in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
The number of aberrations found in the solvent controls was in the range of the historical laboratory control data. The concurrent positive controls ethyl methanesulphonate (0.4 and 1.0 µL/mL) and cyclophosphamide (5 µg/mL) caused the expected biologically relevant increases of cells with structural chromosome aberrations as compared to solvent controls and were compatible with the historical positive control data. Thus, the study is considered valid.
In conclusion, the substance did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in Chinese Hamster lung V79 cells, when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations in the absence and presence of metabolic activation.Thus, the test item is considered as being non-clastogenic in this system.
In vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test:
The substance, suspended in DMSO, was tested in a Mammalian Gene Mutation Test according OECD TG 476 in CHO-K1 cells. The following concentrations were selected on the basis of a pre-test on cytotoxicity with and without metabolic activation using S9 mix of phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone induced rat liver and solubility of test item.
5-hour treatment period without S9-mix:
125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 µg/mL
5-hour treatment period with S9-mix:
125, 250, 500, 1000 and 2000 µg/mL
In the performed Mutation Assay the concentration levels were chosen mainly based on the maximum suspendable concentration. The 100 mg/mL was the maximum suspendable (homogenous) concentration, which was suitable for the treatment.
Phenotypic expression was evaluated up to 8 days following exposure.
In both experimental parts, there were no biologically or statistically significant increases in mutation frequency at any concentration tested, neither in the absence nor in the presence of metabolic activation. There were no statistically and biologically significant differences between treatment groups compared to the concurrent and historical control groups and no dose-response relationships were noted. All values were within the range of the laboratory historical control data.
There was no precipitation of the test item at any dose level tested. No biologically relevant changes in the osmolality of the test system were noted at the different dose levels tested. The measured pH of treatment solution was similar compared to the control values.
The mutation frequency found in the solvent controls was in the range of historical laboratory control data. The concurrent positive controls Ethyl methanesulfonate (1.0 µL/mL) and 7,12-Dimethyl benzanthracene (20 µg/mL) caused the expected biologically relevant increases of cells with mutation frequency as compared to solvent controls and were compatible with the historical positive control data. Thus, the study is considered valid.
The substance tested without and with metabolic activation system over a 5-hour treatment period did not induce statistically and biologically significant increases in mutant frequency over the background (negative solvent control).
It is concluded that the test item was not mutagenic in this in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation test performed with Chinese hamster ovary cells.
