The test substance dilutions were freshly prepared each day. 2.500 mg sulfamic-acid was weighed into a beaker, mixed with deionized water, washed out into a 50 ml flask and topped up to the calibration mark with de-ionized water; a solution was formed. For the Endoxan stock solution, 5 ml distilled water were added to 100 mg Endoxan in an injection phial and shaken to form a clear solution. The daily solutions for administration were prepared from this stock solution. For this purpose, 2 ml of the 2 % stock solution were mixed with 6 ml distilled water. the substance was applied by gavage. - Duration of treatment / exposure:

Basis:
actual ingested
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 5 males and 5 females per dose group and exposure period
- Control animals:

- Positive control(s):
- 5 males and 5 females dosed with 50 mg/kg bw Endoxan as positive control
Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- Extraction of the bone marrow: The animals were sacrificed according to the test procedure 24, 48 or 72 hours after application by carbon dioxide asphyxiation. For each animal about 3 ml foetal bovine serum was poured into a silicone-coated centrifuge tube. Both femora were removed and the bones freed of muscle tissue. The proximal ends of the femora were opened and the bone marrow flushed into the centrifuge tube. A suspension was formed.
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- The mixture was then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 1200 rpm and almost all the supernatant discarded. One drop of the thoroughly mixed sediment was smeared on a cleaned slide, identified by project code and animal number, and air-dried for about 24 hours.
Staining:
- 3 minutes in May-Grunwalds solution
- 2 minutes in Hay-Grunwalds solution diluted 1:1 with distilled water
- brief rinsing twice in distilled water
- 10 minutes staining in 1 part Giemsa solution to 6 parts distilled water
- rinsing in distilled water
- drying
- providing with Entellan - Evaluation criteria:
- 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes were counted for each animal. The number of cells with micronuclei was recorded, not the number of individual micronuclei. As a control measure 1000 mature erythrocytes were also counted and examined for micronuclei. In addition the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was determined. For evaluation all bone marrow smears are coded to ensure that the group to which they belonged remained unknown to the investigator. The number of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei occuring in 1000 counted polychromatic erythrocytes, and the number of normocytes with micronuclei occuring in 1000 counted normocytes, were evaluated statistically;
- Statistics:
- the method of binomial increase was used to show any increase as compared with the results of the controls (Miller R.G., Simultaneans Statistical Interference, Mc Graw-Hill, New York 1966). The results of the test substance at each killing time and dose results were compared with the corresponding control values. The ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was also evaluated statistically by the method of Nemenyi (Brownlee, K.A., Statistical theory and methodology, Wiley, New York, 1965). The statistical evaluations were realized with the "Diamant" computer program SG-PA-4453, supplied by the Department Praktische Mathematik of Hoechst AG. All statistical results are based on the 95 % level of significance.

- Additional information on results:
- Animals were treated with 0 or 200 mg sulfamic acid per kg body weight to study the induction of micronuclei in bone marrow cells of mice.
All animals survived after application of 0 or 200 mg per kg body weight. One animal died 90 minutes after application due to a failure of application per gavage. The following animals were also replaced due to a failure of application per gavage: Animal-No. 10, 16, 22, 37 and 39.
The following signs of toxicity were observed 24 hours after application: Abdominal position, back-arched position, tachypnoe, ptosis, piloerrection, hyperreflexia and change in gait.
The following signs of toxicity were observed 48 and 72 hours after treatment: Back-arched position, piloerrection, increased respiratory sounds, change in gait, abdominal position, tachypnoe and soft stools.
Animal-No. 13 and 48 died within 24 hours.
The dissection of the male animals revealed the following macroscopic findings: In the group treated with 200 mg sulfamic acid per kg body weight some animals had a distended urinary bladder filled with urine and the intestine filled with air or a yellowish content in the intestine.
At the dosage of 200 mg sulfamic acid per kg body weight and sacrificed 24 hours after application one animal showed light surface of the livers. Some females of the same treatment group showed 24, 48 and 72 hours after application yellowish content in the intestine, the stomach or the intestine filled with air. One animal had anaemic kidneys and livers.
The incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in each dose group of sulfamic acid was comparable with the data in the negative control groups. The number of erythrocytes with micronuclei did not differ significantly from the values of the simultaneous control animals for each of the three killing times investigated. This is true for the polychromatic erythrocytes as well as for the normocytes.
The ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to normocytes remained uneffected by the test compound. Cyclophosphamid (Endoxan) induced a marked and statistically significant increase of the number of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei in both males and females. The ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to normocytes was not shifted.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
Under the conditions described the application of sulfamic acid did not lead to an elevated occurrence of micronuclei in the polychromatic erythrocytes.
It is concluded that sulfamic acid is not mutagenic in the micronucleus test. - Executive summary:
Sulfamic acid was tested in the micronucleus test. The test compound was administered orally by gavage to male and female mice. The following doses were tested: 0 and 200 mg sulfamic acid per kg body weight. The animals were treated once with the test substance and sacrificed according to the test procedure 24, 48 or 72 hours after administration of the test compound.
Endoxan was used as positive control substance at an oral dose of 50 mg per kg body weight. The incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was not effected by the test substance in comparison with the negative control. The number of normochromatic erythrocytes containing micronuclei was not increased too.
The ratio of polychromatic/normochromatic erythrocytes in both male and female animals remained unaffected by the treatment with sulfamic acid. Endoxan (positive control) induced in both males and females a marked statistically significant increase in the number of polychromatic cells with micronuclei indicating the sensitivity of the system. The ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to normocytes was not shifted.
The results indicate that sulfamic-acid is not mutagenic in the micronucleus test under the conditions of the present study.
