- Doses / concentrations: 80 mg/kg bw - Tissues and cell types examined:
- Bone marrow was extracted from 10 mice/group (5 males/5 females) at 24, 48, and 72 hours after dosing. An additional group of 10 mice (5 males/5 females) was treated with 3500 mg/kg bw and held to ensure that 10 mice were available for bone marrow extraction at each interval. These mice were scheduled for use only if mortalities occurred in the primary dose group. As needed, mice were randomly selected from this secondary group for bone marrow extraction and unused mice were euthanized at the completion of the trial. Bone marrow for the positive control group was harvested at 24 hours. Terminal body weights were collected on all animals prior to euthanization for bone marrow harvest.
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- At the appropriate harvest time, the animals were euthanized with CO2 and the adhering soft tissue and epiphyses of both tibias were removed. The marrow was flushed into a centrifuge tube (one tube for each animal) with 3 mL fetal calf serum. Following centrifugation to pellet the tissue, most of the supernatant was drawn off, the cells were resuspended, and the suspension spread on slides and air-dried. The slides were then fixed in methanol and stained in May-Gruenwald solution followed by Giemsa. After being air-dried, the slides were coverslipped using Depex mounting medium. The coded slides were then scored blind for micronuclei and the polychromatic (PCE) to normochromatic (NCE) cell ratio. Standard forms were used to record these data. One thousand PCEs per animal were scored. The frequency of micronucleated cells was expressed as percent micronucleated cells based on the total PCEs present in the scored optic field. The normal frequency of micronuclei in this mouse strain is about 0.0-0.4%. The frequency of PCEs versus NCEs was determined by scoring the number of NCEs observed in the optic fields while scoring the 1000 PCEs for micronuclei.
- Evaluation criteria:
- The criteria for the identification of micronuclei were those of Schmid (1976). Micronuclei were darkly stained and generally round, although almond and ring-shaped micronuclei occasionally occur. Micronuclei had sharp borders and were generally between 1/20 and 1/5 the size of the PCE. The unit of scoring was the micronucleated cell, not the micronucleus; thus the occasional cell with more than one micronucleus was counted as one micronucleated PCE, not two (or more) micronuclei. The staining procedure permitted the differentiation by color of PCEs and NCEs (bluish-grey and red, respectively).

Reference
All animals in the 3500 mg/kg bw dose group became prostrate after dosing. Within 22 hours after dosing, 35 of the 40 animals dosed at 3500 mg/kg had expired. Due to this toxicity, the 3500 mg/kg bw dose level was eliminated from the study. Immediately after dosing, the animals receiving 2500 mg/kg became prostrate. Approximately four hours after dosing, the animals were languid with squinted eyes. The following morning, approximately 23 hours after dosing, one male (#8371) was languid with squinted eyes. This animal also exhibited dyspnea approximately 30 hours after dosing. All other animals appeared normal; however, within 46 hours of dosing three animals (male #8371; female #’s 8319 and 8354) were found dead. Another female (#8369) expired approximately 53 hours after dosing and several other animals were languid. On the third morning, approximately 70 hours after dosing, two males (#’s 8326 and 8405) were found dead. All remaining test article dosed animals had rough haircoats and this condition remained at the 72 hour harvest time. A gross necropsy was performed on all animals which expired during the observation period. Male #8371 had a moderate amount of clear yellow fluid in the trachea and thoracic cavity and an irregular black stomach mucosa. Female #8369 also had a moderate amount of a clear orange fluid in the thoracic cavity. The other necropsied animals had moderate to significant distension of the stomachs or colons, two with an abnormally thin fluid content. No other abnormalities were noted in the animals examined. The terminal body weight range of the animals harvested in this trial of the micronucleus assay was 28.1 - 37.4 grams for males and 19.0 - 26.9 grams for females. Terminal body weight gains were significantly lower at the 48 and 72 hour sacrifice intervals in mice treated with 2,500 mg/kg bw compared to corresponding vehicle control body weight gains indicating that there was a test article related reduction in body weights. The test article, isopropanol, induced no significant increases in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes over the levels observed in the vehicle controls in either sex or at any of the harvest times. The positive control, CP, induced significant increases in micronucleated PCEs in both sexes, with means and standard errors of 3.24% ± 0.84% and 1.22% ± 0.19% for the males and females, respectively. The vehicle and positive control rates of micronucleated PCEs were within the historical control values in this laboratory (TRIAL 1). The test article, isopropanol, induced no significant increases in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes over the levels observed in the vehicle controls in either sex or at any of the harvest times. The positive control, CP, induced significant increases in micronucleated PCEs in both sexes, with means and standard errors of 1.56% ± 0.42% and 1.66% ± 0.39% for the males and females, respectively. The vehicle and positive control rates of micronucleated PCEs were within the historical control values in this laboratory (TRIAL 2).

No mutagenic activity of Ziram detectedin the reliable study ofBrooker, P.C. & Akhurst, L.C.1989.
Dithiocarbamates are related compounds toThionocarbamatesand there is not mutagenic activity.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
Negative in all test conducted.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the hazard assessment of IPETC/O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate in section 2.1 and 2.2. in IUCLID 6., available data for the substance and following the “Guidance on Information Requirement and Chemical Safety Assessment R.8. Characterisation of dose [concentration]- response for human health” andaccording to the criteria described in Directive 67/548 and in the CLP Regulation:
Directive 67/548 |
Mutagenicity-Genetic Toxicity Muta. Cat. 1; R46 May cause heritable genetic damage. Muta. Cat. 2; R46 May cause heritable genetic damage. Muta. Cat. 3; R68 Possible risk of irreversible effects. |
CLP |
Germ cell mutagenicity Muta. 1A Muta. 1B Muta. 2 H340: May cause genetic defects <state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard>. H341: Suspected of causing genetic defects <state route of exposure if it is conclusively proven that no other routes of exposure cause the hazard>. |
It is concluded that the substance IPETC/O-isopropyl ethylthiocarbamate does not meet the criteria to be classified for human health hazards for Mutagenicity-Genetic Toxicity
