Any other information on results incl. tables

At the high dose of 2000 mg/kg, two males out of 10 males were found dead on the day after treatment and were replaced by reserve animals. All other animals survived until scheduled necropsy. None of the animals showed signs of toxicity. In all groups exposed to the test substance assessed at the different time points after treatment, neither statistically significant nor biologically relevant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was observed when compared with the respective negative control group. The positive control group showed a clear mutagenic effect.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It is concluded that there was no evidence of clastogenic or aneugenic effects in mice treated with the test substance in this study.
Executive summary:

The micronucleus test in mice was conducted at single oral dose levels of 0, 200, 600 and 2000 mg/kg body weight on male and female mice (administration: 10 mL/kg bw via gavage). The high dose of 2000 mg/kg is currently the highest limit dose set in the appropriate guideline. The test compound was formulated in a mixture of aqueous CMC (0.5%) and Tween 80 (0.4%). The mouse strain was TifIbm:MAG. This strain is identical with the former Tif MAG f (SPF) mouse. An additional (positive control) group received 64 mg/kg cyclophosphamide and was sacrificed 24 hours after application. At all dose levels, groups of 5 male and 5 female mice were sacrificed at 24 and 48 hours after dosing. Femoral bone marrow cells were prepared and polychromatic erythrocytes were scored for the presence of micronuclei, indicative of clastogenic and/or aneugenic effects.

At the high dose of 2000 mg/kg, two males out of 10 males were found dead on the day after treatment and were replaced by reserve animals. All other animals survived until scheduled necropsy. None of the animals showed signs of toxicity.
