- Details on exposure:
- DOSING FOR MAIN TEST
Animals were dosed with two consecutive intraperitoneal injections, adminstered 24 hours apart, using 1000 and 625 mg/kg as there were no deaths on the LD50 study.
LD50 DETERMINATION
The LD50 was calculated on the deaths observed over a seven day period and was determined on a single daily intraperitoneal dose.
The compound was administered as single intraperitoneal dose at the dose levles of 7000, 750, 500, 250 and 150 mg/kg. 5 animals per dose lavel. The animals were observed daily for deaths. - Frequency of treatment:
- Animals were dosed with two consecutive intraperitoneal injections.
- Post exposure period:
- 5 males and 5 females were sacrified after 24 hours from the start of exposure; further 5 males and 5 females after 48 hours; further 5 males and 5 females after 72 hours.
Doses / concentrationsopen allclose all
- Dose / conc.:
- 1 000 other: mg/kg
- Dose / conc.:
- 625 other: mg/kg
- Remarks:
- The lower dose level was used to ensure a test result in the event of deaths in the top dose group and to allow the observation of a dose response, should the higher dose give a positive result.
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 15 males and 15 females
- Control animals:
- yes
- Positive control(s):
- Cylophosphamide. Solvent used was physiological saline.
Dose: 60 mg/kg
Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- Polychromatic erythrocytes
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- The animals were killed by cervical dislocation at 24, 48 and 72 hours after the last dose of compound.
Femurs were removed and stripped clean of muscle. The iliac end of the femur was removed and a fine paint brush wetted with a solution of albumen (6 % v/v in saline) was dipped into the marrow canal.
3 to 4 streaks of marrow suspension were then applied to appropriately is labelled clean, dry microscope slides. The slides were allowed to air dry.
e The slides were then stained in Wright's stain using an Ames Hema-Tek staining machine (Hema-Tek, Miles Laboratory Limited, Stoke Court, Stoke Poges, Slough, UK).
Slides were coded and scored blind.
500 polychromatic erythrocytes were examined and the number containing micronuclei scored. The samples were also examined for any evidence of cytotoxicity. - Statistics:
- The results were analysed for significant differences from the control group using a one sided Student's 't' test.
Results and discussion
Test results
- Sex:
- male/female
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Toxicity:
- yes
- Remarks:
- deaths at the higher dose level
- Negative controls validity:
- valid
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- Test item gave negative results at all three sampling times, even though there were a number of deaths which occurred in the higher dose level animals. These deaths were unexpected based on the LD50 data and were probably due to administration of the compound as split dose rather than a single treatment. However, the 625 mg/kg dose group would qualify as a maximum tolerated dose at the 48 and 72hr sampling times.
The positive control cyclophoshamide gave an elevated and statistically significant increase in the incidence of micronuclei at both the 24 and 48 hr sampling times.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The results indicate thatthe substance has no clastogenic activity in the mouse micronucleus test.
- Executive summary:
The substance was tested for clastogenic effects using the mouse micronucleus test, following the method of Salamone et al (1981). Cyclophosphamide was used as a positive control to assess the sensitivity of the test system.
The substance was tested for clastogenic activity in the mouse micronucleus test using C57BL/6J mice.
Test item did not induce any statistically significant increase in the frequency of micronuclei when compared with control animals.
Throughout the study the positive control substance, cyclophosphamide, gave the expected responses.
Conclusion
These results indicate that substance is not clastogenic in the mouse micronucleus test.
