Description of key information
Ames assay:
Ames assay was performed to investigate the potential of the test chemical to induce gene mutations in comparison to vehicle control according to the plate incorporation test (Trial I) and the pre-incubation test (Trial II) using theSalmonella typhimuriumstrains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102.
The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Each concentration, including the negative and positive controls was tested in triplicate. Based on the solubility and precipitation test results eight different concentrations viz., 0.0 (NC), 0.002, 0.005, 0.016, 0.050, 0.158, 0.501, 1.582 and 5 mg/plate were selected for pre-experiment.
Based on the pre-experiment results, the test item was tested with the following concentrations 0.0 (NC), 0.050, 0.158, 0.501, 1.582 and 5 mg/plate for main study, both in the presence of metabolic activation (+S9) and in the absence of metabolic activation (-S9).
No substantial increase in revertant colony numbers in any of the tester strains were observed following treatment with the test chemical (CAS no 7681-82-5) at any dose level in both the confirmatory trials, neither in the presence nor in the absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance.
The spontaneous reversion rates in the negative and positive controls are within the range of our historical data.
The positive controls used for various strains showed a distinct increase in induced revertant colonies in both the methods i.e. Plate incorporation method and Pre-incubation method.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test chemical did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frame shifts in the genome of the strains used.
In vitro mammalian micronucleus assay:
The test chemical did not induce any increase in the frequency of MNBN cells for doses ranging from 0.625 to 10 mM in the micronucleus assay in the CHO cell line and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

- A test item is considered as a mutagen, if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding vehicle/solvent control is observed.
A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration.
An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.
A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative control and vehicle control such an increase is not considered biologically relevant. - Statistics:

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: To evaluate the toxicity of the test item, a pre-experiment was performed with strains TA 98 and TA 100. Eight concentrations (0.0 (NC), 0.002, 0.005, 0.016, 0.050, 0.158, 0.501, 1.582 and 5 mg/plate) were tested for toxicity and mutation induction with 3 plates each (triplicates). The experimental conditions in this pre-experiment were the same as described below for the Trial-I (Plate incorporation test).
Toxicity of the test item results in a reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants or clearing of the bacterial background lawn.
In the pre-experiment, the concentration range of the test item was 0.002 – 5 mg/plate based on the solubility and precipitation test.
In TA 98 and TA 100 there was no reduction in colony count as well as in background lawn was observed in treated concentration 5 (T8) mg/plate – 0.002 (T1) mg/plate both in absence and in the presence of metabolic activation.
Based on the results of pre-experiment following doses were selected for the main study trials: 0.0 (NC), 0.050, 0.158, 0.501, 1.582 and 5 mg/plate both in the absence (-S9) as well as in the presence of metabolic activation (+S9).
The concentrations used in the experiment (pre-experiment, Trial-1, Trial-2) were placed with (√10) half log interval.

- Executive summary:
Data available for the various test chemicals was reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of the target chemical. The studies are as mentioned below:
Genotoxic effects of the test chemical was evaluated in vitro using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay on CHO cells. The study was performed using CHO cells. The test chemical was dissolved in culture medum and used at dose level of 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mM. In preliminary cytotoxicity assays, CHO cells were exposed for 1 h to the test compound at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 5 mg/ml. The cells were exposed for 3 h to concentrations of the test compounds of 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mM. Test compound and MMS (30 mg/ml) were dissolved the culture medium. Exponentially growing CHO-K1 cells were plated in a six-well plate on glass coverslips (1.5 X 105 cells/well) and cultured 24 h prior to compound treatment. Duplicate coverslips were established for each experiment, and at least two independent experiments were performed. The cells were exposed to the chemicals at different concentrations for 3 h in a FCS free medium. At the end of treatment, cells were washed twice with PBS before a 20 h incubation in fresh medium containing 10% of FCS and 3 mg/ml of cytochalasin B. Thereafter, cells were washed twice with PBS and allowed to recover for 1.5 h in 10% FCS fresh medium. Cells were fixed with cold methanol, stained with acridine orange (62.5 mg/ml) for 5 min and mounted in Sorensen buffer. Slides were coded and blindly examined under an epifluorescence microscope at 1000X magnification under oil immersion. Briefly, the cells should be binucleated (BN) with an intact nuclear membrane and should be situated within the same cytoplasmic boundary. MN should be morphologically identical to but smaller than nuclei, their diameter usually varied between 1/6th and 1/3rd of the mean diameter of the main nuclei. MN should be readily distinguished and not be linked to the main nuclei via nucleoplasmic bridges. Cells showing chromatin condensation or nuclear fragmentation with an intact cytoplasmic membrane were classified as apoptotic cells. One thousand (1000) binucleated cells were scored for each slide. The frequencies of BN, of BN with MN (MNBN) and of apoptotic cells (AP) were estimated. MMS (30 mg/ml), a well known alkylating agent was used as positive control. Cytotoxicity was measured by the BN cell ratio between treated and control slides.
Based on the observations made, the test chemical did not induce any increase in the frequency of MNBN cells for doses ranging from 0.625 to 10 mM in the micronucleus assay in the CHO cell line and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Additional information
Data available for the target chemical and its read across chemical was reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature. The chromosome aberration study for the target chemical is currently ongoing and would be updated in the dossier upon reciept of the study reports. The target and read across studies are as mentioned below:
Gene mutation in vitro:
Ames assay:
Ames assay was performed to investigate the potential of the test chemical to induce gene mutations in comparison to vehicle control according to the plate incorporation test (Trial I) and the pre-incubation test (Trial II) using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102.
The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Each concentration, including the negative and positive controls was tested in triplicate. Based on the solubility and precipitation test results eight different concentrations viz., 0.0 (NC), 0.002, 0.005, 0.016, 0.050, 0.158, 0.501, 1.582 and 5 mg/plate were selected for pre-experiment.
Based on the pre-experiment results, the test item was tested with the following concentrations 0.0 (NC), 0.050, 0.158, 0.501, 1.582 and 5 mg/plate for main study, both in the presence of metabolic activation (+S9) and in the absence of metabolic activation (-S9).
No substantial increase in revertant colony numbers in any of the tester strains were observed following treatment with the test chemical (CAS no 7681-82-5) at any dose level in both the confirmatory trials, neither in the presence nor in the absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance.
The spontaneous reversion rates in the negative and positive controls are within the range of our historical data.
The positive controls used for various strains showed a distinct increase in induced revertant colonies in both the methods i.e. Plate incorporation method and Pre-incubation method.
Conclusion
In conclusion, it is stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test chemical did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frame shifts in the genome of the strains used.
In vitro mammalian micronucleus assay:
Genotoxic effects of the 2 test chemicals was evaluated in vitro using the cytokinesis-block micronucleus assay on CHO cells. The study was performed using CHO cells. The test chemical was dissolved in culture medum and used at dose level of 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mM. In preliminary cytotoxicity assays, CHO cells were exposed for 1 h to the test compound at concentrations ranging from 0.001 to 5 mg/ml. The cells were exposed for 3 h to concentrations of the test compounds of 0.625, 1.25, 2.5, 5 and 10 mM. Test compound and MMS (30 mg/ml) were dissolved the culture medium. Exponentially growing CHO-K1 cells were plated in a six-well plate on glass coverslips (1.5 X 105cells/well) and cultured 24 h prior to compound treatment. Duplicate coverslips were established for each experiment, and at least two independent experiments were performed. The cells were exposed to the chemicals at different concentrations for 3 h in a FCS free medium. At the end of treatment, cells were washed twice with PBS before a 20 h incubation in fresh medium containing 10% of FCS and 3 mg/ml of cytochalasin B. Thereafter, cells were washed twice with PBS and allowed to recover for 1.5 h in 10% FCS fresh medium. Cells were fixed with cold methanol, stained with acridine orange (62.5 mg/ml) for 5 min and mounted in Sorensen buffer. Slides were coded and blindly examined under an epifluorescence microscope at 1000X magnification under oil immersion. Briefly, the cells should be binucleated (BN) with an intact nuclear membrane and should be situated within the same cytoplasmic boundary. MN should be morphologically identical to but smaller than nuclei, their diameter usually varied between 1/6th and 1/3rd of the mean diameter of the main nuclei. MN should be readily distinguished and not be linked to the main nuclei via nucleoplasmic bridges. Cells showing chromatin condensation or nuclear fragmentation with an intact cytoplasmic membrane were classified as apoptotic cells. One thousand (1000) binucleated cells were scored for each slide. The frequencies of BN, of BN with MN (MNBN) and of apoptotic cells (AP) were estimated. MMS (30 mg/ml), a well known alkylating agent was used as positive control. Cytotoxicity was measured by the BN cell ratio between treated and control slides. Based on the observations made, the test chemicals did not induce any increase in the frequency of MNBN cells for doses ranging from 0.625 to 10 mM in the micronucleus assay in the CHO cell line and hence it is not liekly to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
Based on the data available for the target chemical and its various read across chemicals, the test chemical does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the data available for the read across chemical, the test chemical does not enhibit gene mutation in vitro. Hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
