- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium
- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): Three or four-day-old stock cultures (in exponential growth), more than 50% confluent, were rinsed with Ca-Mg-free PBS solution prior to the trypsin treatment. Cells subsequently were trypsinised with a solution of 0.2% trypsin in Ca-Mg-free PBS at 37 °C for 5 min. By adding complete culture medium the detachment was stopped and a single cell suspension was prepared.
Experiment 1:
Exponentially growing V79 cells were seeded into 25 cm² cell culture flasks (two flasks per test group). Approx. 50000 cells were seeded per cell culture flask, containing 5 mL complete culture medium (minimum essential medium supplemented with 10% FBS). After an attachment period of approx. 48 h, the complete culture medium was removed and subsequently the test item was added to the treatment medium in appropriate concentrations. The cells were incubated with the test item for 4 h in presence or absence of metabolic activation. At the end of the incubation, the treatment medium was removed and the cells were washed twice with PBS. Subsequently, the cells were incubated in complete culture medium + 1.5 µg/mL cytochalasin B for 20 h at 37 °C.
Experiment 2:
If negative or equivocal results are obtained, they should be confirmed using continuous treatment (long-term treatment) without metabolic activation. Approx. 50 000 exponentially growing V79 cells were seeded in 25 cm² cell culture flasks in absence of metabolic activation. After an attachment period of approx. 48 h the test item was added in complete culture medium. 1 h later 1.5 µg/mL cytochalasin B were added and the cells were incubated for 23 h at 37 °C. At the end of the treatment the cell culture medium was removed and the cells were prepared for microscopic analysis.
Number of Cultures:
Duplicate cultures were performed at each concentration level except for the pre-experiment.
Preparation of the Cultures:
At the end of the cultivation, the complete culture medium was removed. Subsequently, cells were trypsinated and resuspended in about 9 mL complete culture medium. The cultures were transferred into tubes and incubated with hypotonic solution (0.4% KCl) for some minutes at room temperature. Prior to this an aliquot of each culture was removed to determine the cell count by a cell counter (AL-Systems). After the treatment with the hypotonic solution the cells were fixed with methanol + glacial acetic acid (3+1). The cells were resuspended gently and the suspension was dropped onto clean glass slides. Consecutively, the cells were dried on a heating plate. Finally, the cells were stained with acridine orange solution.
Analysis of Micronuclei:
At least 2000 binucleated cells per concentration (1000 binucleated cells per slide) were analysed for micronuclei according to criteria of Fenech, i.e. clearly surrounded by a nuclear membrane, having an area of less than one-third of that of the main nucleus, being located within the cytoplasm of the cell and not linked to the main nucleus via nucleoplasmatic bridges. Mononucleated and multinucleated cells and cells with more than six micronuclei were not considered.
As an assessment of the cytotoxicity, a cytokinesis block proliferation index (CBPI) was determined from 500 cells according to the following formula:
CBPI= (c1 x 1) + (c2 x 2) + (cx x 3)/n
c1: mononucleate cells
c2: binucleate cells
cx: multinucleate cells
n: total number of cells
The CBPI can be used to calculate the % cytostasis, which indicates the inhibition of cell growth of treated cultures in comparison to control cultures: % Cytostasis= 100 – 100 x ((CBPIT – 1) / (CBPIC – 1))
CBPIT: Cytokinesis Block proliferation index of treated cultures
CBPIC: Cytokinesis Block proliferation index of control cultures - Evaluation criteria:
- A mutation assay is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
- The concurrent negative/solvent control is considered acceptable for addition to the laboratory historical negative/solvent control database.
- Concurrent positive controls should induce responses that are compatible with those generated in the laboratory’s historical positive control data base and produce a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative/solvent control.
- Cell proliferation criteria in the negative/solvent control according to OECD 487 [4] should be fulfilled.
- All experimental conditions are tested unless one resulted in positive results.
- Adequate number of cells and concentrations are analysable.
- Criteria for the selection of top concentration are fulfilled.
A test item is considered to be clearly positive if, in any of the experimental conditions examined:
- at least one of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent negative control
- the increase is concentration-related in at least one experimental condition when evaluated with an appropriate trend test
- any of the results are outside the distribution of the historical negative/solvent control data (e.g. Poisson-based 95% control limits).
When all of these criteria are met, the test item is considered able to induce chromosome breaks and/or gain or loss in this test system.
A test item is considered to be clearly negative if in all experimental conditions examined none of the criteria mentioned above are met. - Statistics:
- The nonparametric Chi-Quadrat Test was performed to verify the results of the experiment. No statistically significant enhancement (p< 0.05) of cells with micronuclei was noted in the concentration groups of the test item evaluated in experiment I and II.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
In experiment I without metabolic activation no increase of the cytostasis above 30% was noted up to 50 µg/mL. At 100 µg/mL 34%, at 500 µg/mL 37% and at 2000 µg/mL a cytostasis of 46% was noted.
In experiment I with metabolic activation no increase of the cytostasis above 30% was noted up to 10 µg/mL. At 50 µg/mL 43%, at 124 µg/mL 48%, at 500 µg/mL 33% and at 1800 µg/mL a cytostasis of 55% was noted
In experiment II without metabolic activation no increase of the cytostasis above 30% was noted at 10 µg/mL and 100 µg/mL. At 25 µg/mL and 50 µg/mL a cytostasis of 31% and 36%, respectively, was observed. At concentrations higher than 100 µg/mL the cytostasis further increased and viable cell numbers were strongly decreased. The decrease in cell numbers was so pronounced that evaluation of the proliferation index or micronuclei frequencies was not possible. It seems that the test item caused pronounced cell death while surviving cells showed normal proliferation capacity thus mimicking relatively high values of the proliferation index. Thus, a concentration of 100 µg/mL was used as highest concentration for evaluation of micronuclei frequencies.
Micronuclei Analysis:
In experiment I without metabolic activation the micronucleated cell frequency of the negative control (0.90%) was within the historical control limits of the negative control (0.32% - 1.44%). The mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.60% (50 µg/mL), 0.65% (100 µg/mL), 0.55% (500 µg/mL) and 0.90% (2000 µg/mL). The numbers of micronucleated cells were within the historical control limits of the negative control and did not show a biologically relevant increase compared to the concurrent negative control.
In experiment I with metabolic activation the micronucleated cell frequency of the negative control (1.05%) was within the historical control limits of the negative control (0.45% – 1.68%). The mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.70% (10 µg/mL), 0.75% (50 µg/mL), 0.70% (125 µg/mL), 1.30% (500 µg/mL) and 0.65% (1800 µg/mL). The numbers of micronucleated cells were within the historical control limits of the negative control and did not show a biologically relevant increase compared to the concurrent negative control.
In experiment II without metabolic activation the micronucleated cell frequency of the negative control (0.78%) was within the historical control limits of the negative control (0.32% – 1.44%). The mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.80% (10 µg/mL), 1.08% (25 µg/mL), 0.80 (50 µg/mL) and 0.85% (100 µg/mL). The numbers of micronucleated cells were within the historical control limits of the negative control and did not show a biologically relevant increase compared to the concurrent negative control.
The nonparametric x² Test was performed to verify the results in both experiments. No statistically significant enhancement (p< 0.05) of cells with micronuclei was noted in the dose groups of the test item evaluated in experiment I and II with and without metabolic activation. - Conclusions:
- In conclusion, it can be stated that under the experimental conditions reported, N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride did not induce structural and/or numerical chromosomal damage in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Therefore, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic with respect to clastogenicity and/or aneugenicity in this in vitro Mammalian Cell Micronucleus Test.
- Executive summary:
In an in vitro mammalian micronucleus assay (OECD 487), V79 cells cultured in vitro were exposed to N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride (100% purity) in cell culture medium in experiment 1 (short-term exposure, 4 h) at concentrations of 50, 100, 500, 2000 µg/mL (without metabolic activation) and at 10, 50, 125, 500, 1800 µg/mL (with metabolic activation). In experiment 2 (long-term exposure 24 h, without metabolic activation), concentration of 10, 25, 50, 100 µg/mL were used.
In experiment 1 without metabolic activation the mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.60% (50 µg/mL), 0.65% (100 µg/mL), 0.55% (500 µg/mL) and 0.90% (2000 µg/mL). In experiment 1 with metabolic activation the mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.70% (10 µg/mL), 0.75% (50 µg/mL), 0.70% (125 µg/mL), 1.30% (500 µg/mL) and 0.65% (1800 µg/mL). In experiment 2 without metabolic activation the mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.80% (10 µg/mL), 1.08% (25 µg/mL), 0.80 (50 µg/mL) and 0.85% (100 µg/mL). No statistically significant enhancement (p< 0.05) of cells with micronuclei was noted in the concentration groups of the test item evaluated in experiment 1 and 2.
The positive controls did induce the appropriate response. In conclusion, it can be stated that during the study described and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce structural and/or numerical chromosomal damage in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Therefore, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic with respect to clastogenicity and/or aneugenicity in this in vitro Mammalian Cell Micronucleus Test.
This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the requirements for Test Guideline OECD 487 for in vitro mutagenicity data.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
Cytotoxicity is considered either as a clearing or diminution of the background lawn (indicated as "N" or "B", respectively in the result tables) or a reduction in the number of revertants down to a mutation factor of approximately ≤ 0.5 in relation to the solvent control.
EVALUATION OF MUTAGENICITY
The Mutation Factor is calculated by dividing the mean value of the revertant counts by the mean values of the solvent control (the exact and not the rounded values are used for calculation).
A test item is considered as mutagenic if in at least one tester strain with or without metabolic activation:
- a clear and dose-related increase in the number of revertants occurs and/or
- a biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs
A biologically relevant increase is described as follows:
- if in tester strains TA98, TA100 and E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM 101) the number of reversions is at least twice as high
- if in tester strains TA1535 and TA1537 the number of reversions is at least three times higher when compared to the reversion rate of the solvent control.
According to the OECD guidelines, the biological relevance of the results is the criterion for the interpretation of results, and a statistical evaluation of the results is not regarded as necessary.
A test item producing neither a dose related increase in the number of revertants nor a reproducible biologically relevant positive response at any of the dose groups is considered to be non-mutagenic in this system - Evaluation criteria:
- A test is considered acceptable if for each strain:
- the bacteria demonstrate their typical responses to ampicillin (TA98, TA100, E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM 101))
- the negative control plates (A. dest.) with and without S9 mix are within the following ranges (mean values of the spontaneous reversion frequency are within the historical control data range (2017 -2019 for all tester strains, except for E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM 101)) (see box “Any other information on material and methods incl. tables”, Table 1)
- corresponding background growth on negative control, solvent control and test plates is observed

- Additional information on results:
- In two independent experiments several concentrations of the test item were used. Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation. The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicate. No precipitation of the test item was observed in any tester strain used in experiments I and II (with and without metabolic activation). No cytotoxic effects of the test item were noted in any of the five tester strains used up to the highest concentration evaluated (with and without metabolic activation) in experiment I and II. No biologically relevant increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with the test item at any concentration level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation in experiment I and II.
- Conclusions:
- Under the experimental conditions reported, N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride did not cause gene mutations in an Ames Test conducted according to OECD 471. Therefore, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse gene mutation assay.
- Executive summary:
In a bacterial reverse gene mutation assay conducted according to OECD guideline 471, S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and tester strain E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM 101) were exposed to N1,N3 -diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride (100% purity) in purified water at concentrations of 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation. The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background in all tester strains and both experiments (plate incorporation and pre-incubation). Based on the results, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic in the bacterial reverse gene mutation assay.
This study is classified as acceptable. This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OPPTS 870.5100; OECD 471 for in vitro mutagenicity (bacterial reverse gene mutation) data.

- Experimental procedure:
For a short-term exposure experiment 1 x 10^7 cells were suspended in 11 mL RPMI medium with 5% horse serum (25 cm² flasks) and exposed to designated concentrations of the test item either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation in the mutation experiment. After 4 h the test item was removed by centrifugation (200 x g, 7 min) and the cells were washed twice with PBS. Subsequently the cells were suspended in 30 mL complete culture medium and incubated for an
expression and growth period of 2 days in total at 37 °C in 5% CO2/95% humidified air. The cell density was determined each day and adjusted to 3 x 10^5 cells/mL in a total culture volume of 20 mL, if necessary.
After the expression period the cloning efficiency (CE) of the cells was determined by seeding a statistical number of 1.6 cells/well in two 96-well plates. The cells were incubated for at least 7 days at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere with 5% CO2. Analysis of the results was based on the number of cultures with cell growth (positive wells, PW) and those without cell growth (negative wells, NW) compared to the total number of cultures seeded (total wells, TW). Additionally, cultures were
seeded in selective medium. Cells from each experimental group were seeded in four 96-well plates at a density of approximately 2000 cells/well in 200 µL selective medium with TFT. The plates were scored after an incubation period of about 12 days at 37 °C in 5% CO2/95% humidified air.
The mutant frequency was calculated by dividing the number of TFT resistant colonies by the number of cells plated for selection, corrected for the plating efficiency of cells from the same culture grown in the absence of TFT. For the microwell method used here the Poisson distribution was used to calculate the plating efficiencies for cells cloned without and with TFT selection. Based on the null hypothesis of the Poisson distribution, the probable number of clones/well (P) is equal to -ln(negative wells/total wells) and the plating efficiency (PE) equals P/(number of cells plated per well).
Mutant frequency then was calculated as MF = (PE(cultures in selective medium) / PE(cultures in non-selective medium)).
Suspension growth (SG) of the cell cultures reflects the number of times the cell number increases from the starting cell density. When carrying out a short-term treatment (4 h) a 2-day growth period was considered. The relative total growth (RTG) is the product of the relative suspension growth (RSG; calculated by comparing the SG of the dose groups with the SG of the control) and the relative cloning efficiency (RCE) for each culture: RTG = RSG x RCE / 100.
The mutant frequencies obtained from the experiments were compared with the Global Evaluation Factor (GEF). To arrive at a GEF, the workgroup (IWGT MLA Workgroup) analysed distributions of negative/vehicle mutant frequencies of the MLA that they gathered from ten laboratories. The GEF is defined as the mean of the negative/vehicle mutant frequency plus one standard deviation. Applying this definition to the collected data, the GEF arrived to be 126 mutants/10^6 cells for the microwell method. - Evaluation criteria:
- Test item is considered mutagenic if the following criteria are met:
- the induced mutant frequency meets or exceeds the Global Evaluation Factor (GEF) of 126 mutants per 1x10^6 cells
- a concentration-dependent increase in mutant frequency is detected
Besides, combined with a positive effect in the mutant frequency, an increased occurrence of small colonies (≥40% of total colonies) is an indication for potential clastogenic effects and/or chromosomal aberrations.
A test item is considered to be negative if the induced mutant frequency is below the GEF or the trend of the test is negative. - Statistics:
- The non-parametric Mann-Whitney test was applied to the mutation data to prove the dose groups for any significant difference in mutant frequency compared to the negative controls. Mutant frequencies of the negative controls were used as reference. Statistical significance at the 5% level (p< 0.05) was evaluated.

For individual results see tables 1 to 10 in box "Any other information on results incl. tables". - Conclusions:
- In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay conducted according to OECD 490, the test item N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride did not induce the mutation frequency at any tested concentrations and can be therefore considered as non-mutagenic.
- Executive summary:
In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay conducted according to OECD Guideline 490, mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells cultured in vitro were exposed 4 hours to N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride (100% purity) at concentrations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 175, 500 and 1000 µg/mL without S9 metabolic activation and at concentrations of 50, 250, 500, 1000, 1200, 1500 and 1600 µg/mL with S9 metabolic activation. The selection of the concentrations used in the main experiment were based on data from a pre-experiment. No precipitation of the test item was noted any experiment and growth inhibition was observed in the main experiment without and with metabolic activation. The relative total growth (RTG) was 15.2 and 6.7% (without metabolic activation) and 10.6 and 13.7% (with metabolic activation) for the highest concentrations evaluated. The positive controls showed distinct effects in mutation frequency, thus proving the ability of the test system to detect potential mutagenic effects. Furthermore, in the main experiment without and with metabolic activation, all validity criteria were met.
No biologically relevant increase of mutants was found after treatment with the test item (without and with metabolic activation). The Global Evaluation Factor (GEF) was not exceeded by the induced mutant frequency at any concentration.
This study is classified as acceptable. This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OECD 490 for in vitro mutagenicity data.

Additional information
N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride was evaluated for genotoxicity/mutagenicity in an in vitro testing battery (OECD test guidelines 471, 487 and 490).
In a bacterial reverse gene mutation assay conducted according to OECD guideline 471, S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and tester strain E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM 101) were exposed to N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride (100% purity) in purified water at concentrations of 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation. The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background in all tester strains and both experiments (plate incorporation and pre-incubation). Based on the results, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic in the bacterial reverse gene mutation assay.
In an in vitro mammalian micronucleus assay (OECD 487), V79 cells cultured in vitro were exposed to N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride (100% purity) in cell culture medium in experiment 1 (short-term exposure, 4 h) at concentrations of 50, 100, 500, 2000 µg/mL (without metabolic activation) and at 10, 50, 125, 500, 1800 µg/mL (with metabolic activation). In experiment 2 (long-term exposure 24 h, without metabolic activation), concentration of 10, 25, 50, 100 µg/mL were used.
In experiment 1 without metabolic activation the mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.60% (50 µg/mL), 0.65% (100 µg/mL), 0.55% (500 µg/mL) and 0.90% (2000 µg/mL). In experiment 1 with metabolic activation the mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.70% (10 µg/mL), 0.75% (50 µg/mL), 0.70% (125 µg/mL), 1.30% (500 µg/mL) and 0.65% (1800 µg/mL). In experiment 2 without metabolic activation the mean values of micronucleated cells found after treatment with the test item were 0.80% (10 µg/mL), 1.08% (25 µg/mL), 0.80 (50 µg/mL) and 0.85% (100 µg/mL). No statistically significant enhancement (p< 0.05) of cells with micronuclei was noted in the concentration groups of the test item evaluated in experiment 1 and 2. The positive controls did induce the appropriate response. In conclusion, it can be stated that during the study described and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce structural and/or numerical chromosomal damage in Chinese hamster V79 cells. Therefore, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic with respect to clastogenicity and/or aneugenicity in this in vitro Mammalian Cell Micronucleus Test.
In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay conducted according to OECD Guideline 490, mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells cultured in vitro were exposed 4 hours to N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride (100% purity) at concentrations of 1, 5, 10, 50, 175, 500 and 1000 µg/mL without S9 metabolic activation and at concentrations of 50, 250, 500, 1000, 1200, 1500 and 1600 µg/mL with S9 metabolic activation. The selection of the concentrations used in the main experiment were based on data from a pre-experiment. No precipitation of the test item was noted any experiment and growth inhibition was observed in the main experiment without and with metabolic activation. The relative total growth (RTG) was 15.2 and 6.7% (without metabolic activation) and 10.6 and 13.7% (with metabolic activation) for the highest concentrations evaluated. The positive controls showed distinct effects in mutation frequency, thus proving the ability of the test system to detect potential mutagenic effects. Furthermore, in the main experiment without and with metabolic activation, all validity criteria were met. No biologically relevant increase of mutants was found after treatment with the test item (without and with metabolic activation). The Global Evaluation Factor (GEF) was not exceeded by the induced mutant frequency at any concentration.
The negative results obtained from all three tests (OECD 471, OECD 487 and OECD 490, GLP), indicate that N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride is not genotoxic/mutagenic.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available results obtained from an in vitro test battery (OECD 471, 487 and 490), the substance N1,N3-diallylpropane-1,3-diamine dihydrochloride is not considered to be genotoxic and no classification is warranted in accordance with CLP Regulation (EC) 1272/2008.
