DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative suspension growth (dose range finding test) and relative total growth (mutation experiments) - Evaluation criteria:
- ACCEPTABILITY OF THE ASSAY
A mutation assay was considered acceptable if it met the following criteria:
a) The absolute cloning efficiency of the solvent controls (CEday2) is between 65 and 120 %. An acceptable number of surviving cells (10E6) could be analysed for expression of the TK mutation.
b) The spontaneous mutation frequency in the solvent control is ≥ 50 per 10E6 survivors and ≤ 170 per 10E6 survivors.
c) The growth rate (GR) over the 2-day expression period for the negative controls should be between 8 and 32.
d) The mutation frequency of MMS should not be below 500 per 10E6 survivors, and for CP not below 700 per 10E6 survivors.
DATA EVALUATION
Any increase of the mutation frequency should be evaluated for its biological relevance including a comparison of the results with the historical control data range.
A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the mutation assay if it induces a MF of more than MF(controls) + 126 in a dose-dependent manner. An observed increase should be biologically relevant and will be compared with the historical control data range.
A test substance is considered equivocal (questionable) in the mutation assay if no clear conclusion for positive or negative result can be made after an additional confirmation study.
A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the mutation assay if:
a) None of the tested concentrations reaches a mutation frequency of MF(controls) + 126.
b) The results are confirmed in an independently repeated test. - Statistics:
- The global evaluation factor (GEF) has been defined by the IWTGP as the mean of the negative/solvent MF distribution plus one standard deviation. For the micro well version of the assay the GEF is 126.

Dose range finding test
In the dose range finding test, L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells were treated with a test substance concentration range of 33.3 to 3330 μg/ml in the absence and presence of S9-mix with a 3 hour treatment period. In the absence of S9-mix, the relative suspension growth was 14 % at the test substance concentration of 333 μg/ml compared to the relative suspension growth of the solvent control. Hardly any cell survival was observed at test substance concentrations of 1000 μg/ml and above. In the presence of S9-mix, the relative suspension growth was 8 % at the test substance concentration of 1000 μg/ml compared to the relative suspension growth of the solvent control. Hardly any cell survival was observed at the test substance concentration of 3330 μg/ml.
Mutagenicity test
Based on the results of the dose range finding test, the following dose range was selected for the first mutagenicity test:
Without S9-mix: 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 33, 100, 200, 250, 300, 325, 350, 400 and 450 μg/ml exposure medium.
With 8 % (v/v) S9-mix: 10, 30, 100, 300, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200 μg/ml exposure medium.
Evaluation of toxicity
In the absence of S9-mix, the dose levels of 250 μg/ml and above were not used for mutation frequency measurement, since these dose levels were too toxic for further testing. In the presence of S9-mix, too many dose levels showed severe cytotoxicity, this part of the experiment was repeated (experiment 1A): the following dose range was selected: 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 33, 100, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 750 and 800 μg/ml. In this repeat, no dose level with a cell survival below 23 % was reached, therefore this experiment was rejected. In the repeat experiment (1B), the following dose range was selected: 30, 100, 300, 500, 600, 700, 750, 800, 850, 900 and 1000 μg/ml. The dose levels of 750, 900 and 1000 μg/ml were not used for mutation frequency measurement, since these dose levels were too toxic for further testing. The dose levels selected to measure mutation frequencies at the TK-locus were:
Without S9-mix: 0.3, 1, 3, 10, 33, 100 and 200 μg/ml exposure medium.
With S9-mix: 30, 100, 300, 500, 600, 700, 800 and 850 μg/ml exposure medium.
In the absence of S9-mix, the relative total growth of the highest test substance concentration was reduced by 88 % compared to the total growth of the solvent controls. In the presence of S9-mix, the relative total growth of the highest test substance concentration was reduced by 94 % compared to the total growth of the solvent controls.
Evaluation of the mutagenicity
In the absence of S9-mix, FAT 40854/A induced an up to 5.7-fold increase in the mutation frequency at the TK locus. FAT 40854/A showed up to 5.1- and 5.4-fold increases in the mutation frequency of the small and large colonies, respectively, compared to the mean mutation frequency of the small and large colonies of the solvent controls.
In the presence of S9-mix, FAT 40854/A induced an up to 11-fold increase in the mutation frequency at the TK locus. FAT 40854/A showed up to 13- and 6.3-fold increases in the mutation frequency of the small and large colonies, respectively, compared to the mean mutation frequency of the small and large colonies of the solvent controls.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- FAT 40854/A is mutagenic in the mouse lymphoma L5178Y test system under the experimental conditions.
- Executive summary:
In a GLP-compliant study, evaluation of the mutagenic activity of FAT 40854/A in an in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation test with L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells was conducted according to OECD guideline 476 and EU method B.17. This report describes the effects of FAT 40854/A on the induction of forward mutations at the thymidine-kinase locus (TK-locus) in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells. The test was performed in the absence and presence of S9-mix (rat liver S9-mix induced by a combination of phenobarbital and ß-naphthoflavone). FAT 40854/A was tested up to concentrations of 200 and 850 μg/ml in the absence and presence of S9-mix, respectively. The incubation time was 3 hours. FAT 40854/A was tested up to cytotoxic levels of 88 and 94 in the absence and presence of S9-mix, respectively.
The spontaneous mutation frequencies in the solvent-treated control cultures were between the minimum and maximum value of the historical control data range and within the acceptability criteria of this assay. Except the response of one of the solvent control cultures in the absence of S9-mix. However, since this response was just below the lower limit of the range and clear positive results were obtained, the validity of the test was considered to be not affected. Mutation frequencies in cultures treated with positive control chemicals were increased by 15-fold for MMS in the absence of S9-mix, and by 35-fold for CP in the presence of S9-mix. It was therefore concluded that the test conditions, both in the absence and presence of S9-mix, were appropriate and that the metabolic activation system (S9-mix) functioned properly. In the absence of S9-mix, FAT 40854/A TE induced an up to 5.7-fold increase in the mutation frequency. The mutation frequencies were above the GEF + MF(controls)(174 per 106survivors), more than three-fold, outside the historical control data range and in a dose dependent manner, therefore, this increase is considered relevant and FAT 40854/A is considered mutagenic in the absence of S9-mix. In the presence of S9-mix, FAT 40854/A induced an up to 11-fold increase in the mutation frequency. The mutation frequencies were above the GEF + MF(controls) (207 per 10E6 survivors), more than three-fold, outside the historical control data range and in a dose dependent manner, therefore, this increase is considered relevant and FAT 40854/A is considered mutagenic in the presence of S9-mix.
It is concluded that FAT 40854/A is mutagenic in the mouse lymphoma L5178Y test system under the experimental conditions.
