Additional information
Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:
Genetic toxicity in vitro:
Prediction model based estimation for the target chemical and data from read across have been summarized to determine the mutagenic potential of the test compound 6-chlorohexan-2-one:
Genetox potential for 6-chlorohexan-2-one was estimated using OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 (SSS QSAR Prediction model, 2016). In an Ames study, the test result for 6-chlorohexan-2-one was estimated to be negative in S. typhimurium TA 1535 (with metabolic activation) and S. typhimurium TA 100 (without metabolic activation), respectively. In an chromosome aberration test for 6 -chlorohexane-2 -one on Chinese hamster Lung (CHL, cells, negative results were observed in absence of metabolic activation. Thus, the test chemical 6 -chlorohexane-2 -one is not likely to be a gene mutant in vitro
Another study by(Ludwika Kreja, Hans-Joachim Seidel,2002) with similar substance (821 -55 -6) genetic toxicity was observed.
In Genetic toxicity in vitro study for 2-Nonanone in Chinese hamster V79 cells by Micronucleus test. V79 Chinese hamster cells were cultivated on microscope slides in quadripermdishes (Heraeus Instruments, Germany). A total of 105cells were seeded in each chamber and cultivated 24 h before treatment. The medium was then substituted by 6ml of fresh medium containing the test compound, and the cells were incubated for 4 h.Micronuclei (MN) were analyzed in 1000 cells/culture. To show reproducibility of the results two to four independent experiments were performed and the mean MN frequency per 100 cells ± S.D. was calculated. Micronuclei were identified according to the criteria described. The test compound was classified as a clastogen when it was able to enhance the spontaneous MN frequency at least three-fold or higher over that of the control for at least one dose tested. But as there was no effect on MN frequency. Assay result was found to be negative (without).Therefore 2-Nonanone was not considered as clastogen.
In another study by Robert E. McMahon et.al (1979) with similar substance (111 -13 -7) genetic toxicity was observed. In Ames assay of genetic toxicity study to Salmonella typhimurium which is treated with2-Octanone with a dose concentration of 0.1 -1000 mg/L.6 strains were used for the study all with and without activation.Medium is created in agar plate and solvent used is dimethyl sulfoxide.
Negative –mutagenic effect was observed toSalmonella typhimurium when treated with 2-Octanone.
Overall reported genetic toxicity studies of 6-chlorohexan-2-one as well as its read acrossand applying weight of evidence approach, indicate that 6-chlorohexan-2-one is not likely to exhibit genetic toxicity in vitro.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
Data is from K2 prediction database
Justification for classification or non-classification
Overall reported genetic toxicity studies of 6-chlorohexan-2-oneas well as its read across and applying weight of evidence approach, indicate that
6-chlorohexan-2-oneis not likely to exhibit genetic toxicity in vitro.
