- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium
DURATION
- Preincubation period: not applicable
- Exposure duration: without Sç mix: 3; 20 or 44h / with S9 mix: 3h
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 20 or 44h
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): not applicable
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): 20 or 44h
SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): not applicable
SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): colcemid (10µg/mL) added 3h before the harvest time
STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): After harvest, the cells were collected by centrifugation and submitted to a hypotonic treatment (KCl 0.075 M). The cells were then fixed in a methanol/acetic acid mixture (3/1; v/v), spread on glass slides and stained with Giemsa.
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2 independent experiments, 2 cultures in parallel (same donor) per concentration
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 200 metaphases/dose-level (on metaphases which contained 44 to 46 chromosomes). Whenever possible, 100 metaphases were scored for each culture. Only 50 metaphases/culture were analysed when at least 10% cells with structural chromosome aberration were observed.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index (The number of cells in mitosis is scored on a total of 1000 cells per culture)
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: yes
- Determination of endoreplication: yes
OTHER: according to the purity of the test substance (36.2%), a correction factor of 2.76 was applied to prepare the substance to be tested in order to assess thegenotoxicity of the substance at 100% (in accordance with the REACh requirements).
For each experiment, both cultures were prepared from the blood of one distinct donor. - Evaluation criteria:
- This study was considered valid since the following criteria were met:
- the frequency of cells with structural chromosome aberration in the vehicle controls was consistent with (but not necessary within) the historical data. In any case this frequency was ≤ 5%,
- the frequency of cells with structural chromosome aberration in the positive controls was significantly higher than that of the vehicle controls (p ≤ 0.05) and consistent with (but not necessary within) the historical data.
A test item is considered positive for inducing chromosomal aberrations if a reproducible and statistically significant increase in the frequency of cells with structural chromosome aberration is observed at one or more dose levels and at one or two harvest times.
A test item is considered negative for inducing chromosomal aberrations if no significant increase is observed in the number of cells with chromosomal aberrations for any of the dose levels and at any harvest times. - Statistics:
- For each experiment and for each harvest time, the frequency of cells with structural chromosome aberration (excluding gaps) in treated cultures was compared to that of the vehicle control cultures. This comparison was performed using the Che 2 test unless treated culture data were lower than or equal to the vehicle control data. p = 0.05 was used as the lowest level of significance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The study was negative for structural chromosome aberrations. However numerical chromosome aberrations were observed with and without metabolic activation. Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item, Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes, exposed for 3 hours to up to 156.3 µg/mL in the presence of a rat metabolizing system, or exposed for 3 hours to up to 312.5 µg/mL and for up to 44 hours to up to 300 µg/mL in the absence of metabolizing system.
- Executive summary:
In an in vitro chromosome aberration study, performed according to OECD 473 and in compliance with GLP, Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine (as an aqueous solution of purity 36.2%) diluted in water was tested in cultured human lymphocytes in the presence and the absence of exogenous mammalian metabolic activation (S9 mix). The concentrations used for treatments were 39.06, 78.13, 156.3, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/mL for the first experiment, both with and without S9 mix; 9.38, 18.8, 37.5, 75, 150, 300 and 600 µg/mL for the second experiment without S9 mix, and 9.4, 18.8, 37.5, 75, 150 and 300 µg/mL for the second experiment with S9 mix. The amount used for the test was calculated as concentration of Cocamidopropylhydroxysultaine and therefore a correction factor of 2.76 was applied. Without metabolic activation, cells were exposed to the test substance for 3 (exp 1), 20 or 44h (exp 2) whereas with metabolic activation the treatment period was of 3 hours in both experiments. In Experiment 1 without S9 mix and in both experiments with S9 mix, cells were rinsed after the 3hrs of treatment with the test substance and placed in fresh medium culture until the harvest time. Cells were harvested 20 or 44h after the beginning of the experiment, corresponding to approximately 1.5 normal cell cycles and 24 hours later. Three hours before harvest, each culture was treated with a Colcemid solution to block cells at the metaphase-stage of mitosis. Analysis for clastogenicity and aneuploidy was undertaken on 200 (100 per culture; 2 parallel cultures) metaphases/concentration (on metaphases which contained 44 to 46 chromosomes). Cytotoxicity of the test substance was assessed by the mitotic index: the number of cells in mitosis was scored on a total of 1000 cells per culture. Positive controls such as mitomycin C and Cyclophosphamid were used to check the sensitivity of the test system. They gave appropriate response, so that the test was considered as valid. The test substance induced cytotoxicity. Indeed, a decrease of mitotic index was observed in both experiments with and without metabolic activation. The highest tested dose level for metaphase analysis induced around 50% cytotoxicity. Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes with and without metabolic activation at any treatment time. In the second experiment only, increases in the numerical aberrations were noted when compared to the vehicle control cultures. These numerical aberrations exclusively consisted of polyploidy. However, the relevance of such findings was limited as they were observed without any clear evidence of a dose-response relationship or consistency between cell cultures. Under the experimental conditions of this study, the test item, Cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes, exposed for 3 hours to up to 156.3 µg/mL in the presence of a rat metabolizing system, or exposed for 3 hours to up to 312.5 µg/mL and for up to 44 hours to up to 300 µg/mL in the absence of the metabolizing system.
