Remarks:

There is no data available on "in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration" or "in-vitro micronucleus" genetic toxicity studies with Acetoguanamine. According to Annex VIII of REACH regualtion before new tests are carried out to determine the listed enpoints of this Annex all available in-vitro data, in-vivo data, historical human data, validated (Q)SAR-data and data from structurally related substances (read-across approach) shall be assessed first. Therefore a literatur research was performed to find in-vitro data, in-vivo data or historical human data on genetic toxicity testing with Acetoguanamine. No records were found and in order to avoid unneccessary animal testing structurally related substances were searched. A structurally related substance is Benzoguanamine, for which further genetic toxicity data was found. Irrespective of metabolic activation Acetoguanamine was not able to induce reverse mutations in Salmonella typhimurium just as Benzoguanamine did not in the Ames test. The molecule structure of Acetoguanamine supports the negative effect. It is completely integrated in the structure of Benzoguanamine. There are no additional functional groups which could be relevant regarding structural alerts for mutagenicity. Since Benzoguanamine showed no obvious potential to impact genomic integrity it can be assumed that Acetoguanamine will show the same properties.

Additional information on results:

This substance was not mutagenic in bacteria [OECD TG 471 & 472]. It induced chromosomal aberration in CHL/IU cells with and without an exogenous metabolic activation system even under the soluble concentrations. It also gave a positive response in the human lymphocytes tested [OECD TG 473] and the mouse lymphoma TK assay [OECD TG 476] but only under the insoluble dose levels. The cytogenetic effect observed in in vitro assays however, could not be reproduced in the micronucleus tests in vivo [OECD TG 474]. Based on the weight of evidence, it could be concluded that this substance was not genotoxic in vivo.

STATISTICAL RESULTS:
-The highest dose (300 mg/kg for males and 200 mg/kg b.w. for females)  was estimated by five 
pre-experiments to the suitable since higher  concentrations were lethal.  After treatment with 
the test item the  number of NCEs was not substantially increased as compared to the mean  value 
of NCEs of the vehicle control thus indicating that this substance  at the indicated concentrations 
had no cytotoxic effectiveness in the  bone marrow.
 There was no biologically and statistically relevant enhancement in the  frequency of the detected 
micronuclei after administration of the test  item at any dose level or sampling time as compared 
to vehicle controle.   40 mg/kg b.w. cyclophosphamide administered orally was used as positive  
control which showed a substantial increase of induced micronucleus  frequency.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
not genotoxic in vivo

Executive summary:

In a CD-1 mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay, 5 male and female were treated oral gavage with this substance at doses of 0, 75, 150, 300 mg/kg bw in male mice and 0, 50, 100, 200 mg/kg/bw.  Bone marrow cells were harvested at 24, 48, 72Hr post-treatment.  The vehicle was corn oil. 

 There were no signs of toxicity during the study. The positive control induced the appropriate response. There was not a significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow after any treatment time.

This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OECD 474 forin vivocytogenetic mutagenicity data.

As there is no data available on "in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration" or "in-vitro micronucleus" genetic toxicity studies (required by Annex VIII of REACH regulation) with Acetoguanamine this endpoint was read-acrossed from Benzoguanamine to Acetoguanamine. This was done in order to avoid unnecessary animal testing and to fulfill the claim of REACH regulation Annex VIII ("data from structurally related substances (read-across approach) should be assessed first before new tests are carried out). Justification for Read-Across see above in "Rationale for Reliability".
