Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
After 2 yrs study Ponceau SX (4548-53-2) was found to be non-carcinogen to C57B1/He mice.
Executive summary:

The carcinogenicity test was performed on C57B1/He mice. Different concentrations of Ponceau SX (4548-53-2)0, 2% and 1%

(3333.3, 1666.6 mg/kg) )were used. For treated group 50 animals per sex per dose and control group 100 animals per sex per dose were used. Various parameters were tested are, number of survivors at 80 weeks,number received by Pathology,number of males and female with tumors,Tumor type,Other pathology were studied. From various other findings, such as liver enlargement, abscesses, distendedurinary bladders, ovarian cysts, distended uteri, enlarged parathyroids, enlarged seminal vesicles and other miscellaneous changes, and were present in approximately equal incidence and degree in test and control mice.

 

Therefore, After 2 yrs study Ponceau SX (4548-53-2) was found to be non-carcinogen toC57B1/He mice at dose concentration 3333.3 mg/kg.Thus NOAEL for this study considered to be 3333.3 mg/kg.
