Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Under the conditions of the study, the test substance did not induce a significant increase in chromosomal aberrations and was therefore considered to be negative in the CHO cytogenetic study.
Executive summary:

An in vitro cytogenetic study was conducted using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells to determine the mutagenicity of the test substance.

In both initial and repeat tests doses ranged from 4 to 213 µg/mL in DMSO (vehicle) for 6, 18 and 42 h in the absence of S9 reaction mixture and for only 6 h in the presence of S9 mixture.

In the definitive assay, survival at the highest dose level scored was 52% in the non-activated 6 h treatment study; 48% in the non-activated 18 h treatment study; 44% in the non-activated 42 h treatment study and 82% in the S9 activated study.

The three highest doses with 200 scorable metaphase cells in the 6, 18 and 42 h treatment studies were selected for analysis. The test substance did not induce a statistically significant increase in structural or numerical chromosome aberrations in either the absence or presence of S9 activation, regardless of the treatment condition or harvest time.

Under the conditions of the study, the test substance did not induce a significant increase in chromosomal aberrations and was therefore considered to be negative in the CHO cytogenetic study.
