- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium
0.2 mL of RPMI-5 medium, vehicle (solvent), test material formulations or positive control solutions, and 1.0 mL of S9-mix (in experiments with metabolic activation) or 150 mM KCl (in the case of 3 h treatment without metabolic activation) were added to a final volume of 20 mL per culture in each experiment. For the 3-hour treatments, at least 10⁷ cells were placed in each of a series of 75 cm² sterile flasks. For the 24-hour treatment, at least 4 x 10⁶ cells were placed in each of a series of 25 cm² sterile flasks.
RPMI-5 medium was made in the same way as the RPMI-10, with the exception that it contained a reduced level of heat inactivated horse serum (5 % v/v).
Cultures were incubated at 37 ± 1 °C (approximately 5 % CO₂ in air). Gentle shaking was used during the 3-hour treatments. After the treatment period, cultures were centrifuged at 2000 rpm (approximately 836 g) for 5 minutes, washed with tissue culture medium and suspended in 20 mL RPMI-10. The number of viable cells in the individual samples was counted manually using a haemocytometer. Measurement of pH and osmolality was also performed after the treatment period.
Where a sufficient number of cells survived, the cell density was adjusted to a concentration of 2 x 10⁵ cells/mL. Cells were transferred to flasks for growth through the expression period (maximum 25 mL of suspension) or diluted to be plated for survival.
DURATION
- Exposure duration: Assay 1: 3 hours in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Assay 2: 3 hours in the presence of metabolic activation, 24 hours in the absence of metabolic activation.
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 3 days
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): about 2 weeks
SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): trifluorothymidine (TFT). The cultures were sub-cultured daily and the cell density adjusted to 2 x 10⁵ cells/mL.
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Performed in duplicate
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: plating efficiency and the corresponding relative survival (%) and relative total growth
Plating for survival - Cultures of cell density 2 x 10⁵ cells/mL were further diluted to 8 cells/mL. 0.2 mL of the final concentration of each culture were placed into each well of two 96-well microplates (192 wells) averaging 1.6 cells per well. Microplates were incubated at 37 ± 0.5 °C in air containing approximately 5 % (v/v) CO₂ for about two weeks. Wells containing viable clones were identified by eye using background illumination and counted.
Plating for viability - At the end of the expression period (cultures treated with TFT), the cell density in the selected cultures was determined and adjusted to 1 x 10⁴ cells/mL with RPMI-20 (20 % heat inactivated horse serum, no addition of Pluronic F-68) for plating for a viability test. Samples from these cultures were diluted to 8 cells/mL. 0.2 mL of the final concentration of each culture was placed into each well of two 96-well microplates (192 wells) averaging 1.6 cells per well. Microplates were incubated at 37 ± 0.5 °C in air containing approximately 5 % (v/v) CO₂ for approximately two weeks. Wells containing viable clones were identified by eye using background illumination and counted. - Evaluation criteria:
- The test material was considered to be mutagenic in this assay if all the following criteria were met:
1. The assay is valid.
2. Statistically significant (p < 0.05) and biologically relevant increases in mutation frequency were observed in treated cultures compared to the corresponding negative (vehicle) control values at one or more concentrations.
3. The increases in mutation frequency were reproducible between replicate cultures and/or between tests (under the same treatment conditions).
4. There was a significant concentration-relationship as indicated by linear trend analysis (p < 0.05).
5. The mutation frequency at the test concentration showing the largest increase was at least 126 mutants per 10⁶ viable cells (GEF = the Global Evaluation Factor) higher than the corresponding negative (vehicle) control value.
Results which only partially satisfied the acceptance and evaluation criteria were evaluated on a case-by-case basis. - Statistics:
- The control log mutant frequency (LMF) was compared to the LMF from each treatment dose, based on Dunnett's test for multiple comparisons and the data checked for a linear trend in mutant frequency with treatment dose using weighted regression. The test for linear trend was one-tailed, therefore negative trend was not considered significant. These tests required the calculation of the heterogeneity factor to obtain a modified estimate of variance.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
A preliminary toxicity test was performed at the following concentrations: 0, 9.77, 19.53, 39.06, 78.13, 156.25, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/mL for 3 hour treatments in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (toxicity tests A and B, respectively) and for 24 hours in the absence of metabolic activation (toxicity test C).
All concentrations were performed in duplicate. Due to the solubility of the test material, the test solution administration in the preliminary toxicity test was 0.4 mL. Precipitate was observed at all concentrations in all three tests in at least one replicate.
In test A, relative survival at 78.13 µg/mL was 41 % on day 0 and 92 % on day 3. All concentrations above this level demonstrated excessive toxicity (0 % relative survival).
In test B, relative survival at 78.13 µg/mL was 5 % on day 0 and 45 % on day 3. All concentrations above this level demonstrated excessive toxicity (0 % relative survival). At 36.06 µg/mL, relative survival was 61 % on day 0 and 84 % on day 3.
In test C, relative survival at 19.53 µg/mL was 21 % on day 1 and 80 % on day 3. All concentrations above this level demonstrated excessive toxicity (0 % relative survival).

Comparison with the historical control data confirmed that the test system was functioning correctly.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
In Assay 1 with metabolic activation, excessive cytotoxicity of the test material was observed at 160, 140 and 120 μg/mL concentrations; cells of these samples did not survive the treatment or the expression period. Evaluation of the mutagenicity was made using data of the first surviving concentration of 100 μg/mL (relative survival value of 24 %) and the five lower concentrations (a total of six concentrations).
In Assay 1 without metabolic activation, excessive cytotoxicity of the test material was observed at the 100 μg/mL concentration; cells of this sample did not survive the treatment period. Evaluation was performed on data from the next concentration of 90 μg/mL (relative survival value of 18 %) and seven lower concentrations (a total of eight concentrations).
In Assay 2, for the 3-hour treatment with metabolic activation, cells of the 160, 140 and 120 μg/mL concentration samples did not survive the treatment or the expression period. Evaluation was performed on the data from the first surviving concentration which was 100 μg/mL (relative survival value of 46 %) and the five lower concentrations (a total of six concentrations).
In Assay 2, for the 24-hour treatment without metabolic activation, excessive cytotoxicity was observed at the 40, 35, 32.5, 30 and 27.5 μg/mL concentrations; cells of these samples died during the treatment or in the expression period. Evaluation of the data was made using the next concentration of 25 μg/mL (relative survival of 8 %) and the following six lower concentrations (a total of seven concentrations).

The mutagenicity of the test material was assessed in an in vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test (Mouse Lymphoma Assay) which was performed in accordance with the standardised guidelines OECD 476 and EU Method B.17, under GLP conditions.
The test was performed using the mouse lymphoma L5178Y cell model up to cytotoxic and precipitating concentrations in the absence and presence of an exogenous metabolic activation system (S9 -mix).
The following conditions were used in the study:
ASSAY 1
- Three hour treatment with metabolic activation: 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 µg/mL
- Three hour treatment without metabolic activation: 5, 10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 µg/mL
ASSAY 2
- Three hour treatment with metabolic activation: 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100, 120, 140 and 160 µg/mL
