Key value for chemical safety assessment

Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

The in-vitro clastogenicity of the registration susbtance, Hostapon SLG, is investigated according to the OECD Guideline 473. Negative results were obtained.

Further, the in-vitro genotoxicity of the registration substance, Hostapon SLG is derived based on the read-across to Hostapon SG.

The genotoxicity of Hostapon SG was investigated in Ames test (OECD 471) and in mouse lymphoma assay (OECD 476). The results obtained in these studies are indicative of no mutagenic potential. Further, two chromosome aberrations studies are available reporting positive response. However, these studies were re-evaluated according to the currently accepted Guideline OECD 473 (adopted in 2016) by the registrant and the data are evaluated as indicative of no significant clastogenicity.

Likewise, the registration substance, Hostapon SLG is considered as of no significant genotoxic activity.

Conclusions:
Not clastogenic
Executive summary:

Hostapon SLG was investigated according to the Guideline OECD 473 (version 1997). CHO cells were treated with the test substance with and without metabolic activation at concentrations of 0.025, 0.05 and 0.1 mg/ml. The concentration of 0.15 mg/l was associated with enhanced precipitation. Negative results were obtained in two indenpendent experiments. Hostapon SLG is not clastogenic in in-vitro assay.

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 1 hour
- Exposure duration: 72 hours


NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates


Evaluation criteria:
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 WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding 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 and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant.
Statistics:
According to the OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory.

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: >1,5 x 10 exp. 6 cells

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth


Evaluation criteria:
A test item is classified as mutagenic if the induced mutation frequency reproducibly exceeds a threshold of 126 colonies per 10 exp. 6 cells above the
corresponding solvent control or negative control, respectively.
A relevant increase of the mutation frequency should be dose-dependent.
A mutagenic response is considered to be reproducible if it occurs in both parallel cultures.
However, in the evaluation of the test results the historical variability of the mutation rates in negative
and/or vehicle con¬trols and the mutation rates of all negative and/or vehicle controls of this study are taken into consideration.
Results of test groups are generally rejected if the relative total growth, and the cloning efficiency 1 is less than 10 % of the vehicle control
unless the exception criteria specified by the IWGT recommendations are fulfilled.
Whenever a test item is considered mutagenic according to the above mentioned criteria, the ratio of small versus large colonies is used
to differentiate point mutations from clastogenic effects. If the increase of the mutation frequency is accompanied by a reproducible and
dose dependent shift in the ratio of small versus large colonies clastogenic effects are indicated.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: Not effected
- Effects of osmolality: Not increased
- Evaporation from medium: Not examined
- Water solubility: Up to 25 %
- Precipitation: pre-experiment: at 750, 1500, 3000 µg/mL; main experiments: no precipitation occurred
- Other confounding effects: None


RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The highest concentration used in the pre-test was chosen with regard to the molecular weight of the test item. Test item concentrations between 23.4 and 3000 µg/mL were used to evaluate toxicity in the presence (4 h treatment) and absence (4 h and 24 h treatment) of metabolic activation.
Strong toxic effects occurred at 187.5 µg/mL and above with and without metabolic activation following 4 and 24 hours of treatment.
The test medium was checked for precipitation at the end of each treatment period (4 or 24 hours) before the test item was removed. Precipitation was observed by the unaided eye at 750 µg/mL and above with and without metabolic activation at both treatment intervals.
The dose range of the main experiments was set according to the data generated in the pre-experiment. The experimental part of the second
experiment with metabolic activation was terminated due to exceedingly severe cytotoxicity and repeated at lower concentrations. In both main
experiments the individual concentrations were generally spaced by a factor of 2.0 in the lower range. A narrower spacing was used at the highest concentrations to cover the cytotoxic range more closely.
To overcome problems with possible deviations in toxicity the main experiments were started with more than four concentrations.

Conclusions:
Hostapon SG was investigated according to the Guideline OECD 473. No genotoxic activity was observed up to the concentration not associated with precipitation.
Executive summary:

Hostapon SG was investigated according to the Guideline OECD 473 (version 1997). Human lymphocytes were treated with the test substance with and without metabolic activation up to the concentration associated with 50% reduction of mitotic indices. In general, reduced cytotoxicity was observed with metabolic activation, leading to the use of higher concentrations with metabolic activation for the genotoxicity investigation. These concentrations were associated with enhanced precipitation.

Total five independent experiments were performed. No increase of aberration frequency was observed without metabolic activation. Significant increase of aberration frequency was obtained with metabolic activation at concentrations associated not only with significant cytotoxicity but also with enhanced precipitation. The author of the study evaluated the results obtained as "positive".

The registrant performed re-evaluation in 2018, taking account the precipitation in the culture medium as potential interfering factor responsible for a false-positve response (according to the current OECD Guideline, version 2016). Based on the re-evaluation, no significant genotoxic activity can be assigned up to the concentrations not associated with remarkable precipitation.

Comments of the registrant: the concentration of 625 µg/mL corresponds to the 35% of cell growth when compared to control and therefore not compliant to the OECD 473 Guideline adopted in 2016. Discarding the result obtained at this concentration, the overall result of the study should be negative.

Conclusions:
The genotoxicity of Hostapon SG was investigated in in-vitro chromosome aberration test. No genotoxic activity was found at concentrations associated cyotoxicity of cell growth reduction less than 50%.
Executive summary:

The genotoxicity of Hostapon SG was investigated in in-vitro chromosome aberration test. Chines hamster lung fibroblasts cell cultures were used as test system in two independent experiments.

In the first experiments the cells were treated for 24h or 48h without metabolic acitivation. The highest concentrations used corresponded to the cell growth reduction down to 15% of control.

In the second experiment the cells were treated for 6h with or without metabolic activation. The highest concentrations used corresponded to the cell growth reduction down to 36% of control

No increase of aberration frequency was observed without metabolic activation in the first and in the second experiment. Significant increase of aberration frequency was obtained with metabolic activation at the highest concentration applied. The author of the study evaluated the results obtained as "positive".

The registrant performed re-evaluation in 2018, taking account the cyototoxicity in the culture medium as potential interfering factor responsible for a false-positve response (according to the current OECD Guideline, version 2016). Based on the re-evaluation, no significant genotoxic activity can be assigned up to the insoluble concentrations for Hostapon SG.

Evaluation criteria:
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 WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding 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 and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant.
Statistics:
According to the OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory.

Conclusions:
Not mutagenic in Ames test
Executive summary:

The genotoxicity of Hostapon SLG is derived based on the read across to Hostapon SG.

Hostapon SG was investigated for its mutagenicity in bacterial mutation reverse assay according to the Guideline OECD 471. Up to the concentration of 5000 µg/plate no mutagenic property was found without and with metabolic activation in strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100, WP2 uvrA in two indepedant experiments. Hostapon SG is not mutagenic in Ames test.

Likewise no mutagenic acitivity is assigned to Hostapon SLG.

- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 hours
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): 10 to 15 days

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): RPMI 1640 medium by addition of 5 µg/mL TFT

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: >1,5 x 10 exp. 6 cells

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth


Evaluation criteria:
A test item is classified as mutagenic if the induced mutation frequency reproducibly exceeds a threshold of 126 colonies per 10 exp. 6 cells above the
corresponding solvent control or negative control, respectively.
A relevant increase of the mutation frequency should be dose-dependent.
A mutagenic response is considered to be reproducible if it occurs in both parallel cultures.
However, in the evaluation of the test results the historical variability of the mutation rates in negative
and/or vehicle con¬trols and the mutation rates of all negative and/or vehicle controls of this study are taken into consideration.
Results of test groups are generally rejected if the relative total growth, and the cloning efficiency 1 is less than 10 % of the vehicle control
unless the exception criteria specified by the IWGT recommendations are fulfilled.
Whenever a test item is considered mutagenic according to the above mentioned criteria, the ratio of small versus large colonies is used
to differentiate point mutations from clastogenic effects. If the increase of the mutation frequency is accompanied by a reproducible and
dose dependent shift in the ratio of small versus large colonies clastogenic effects are indicated.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: Not effected
- Effects of osmolality: Not increased
- Evaporation from medium: Not examined
- Water solubility: Up to 25 %
- Precipitation: pre-experiment: at 750, 1500, 3000 µg/mL; main experiments: no precipitation occurred
- Other confounding effects: None


RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The highest concentration used in the pre-test was chosen with regard to the molecular weight of the test item. Test item concentrations between 23.4 and 3000 µg/mL were used to evaluate toxicity in the presence (4 h treatment) and absence (4 h and 24 h treatment) of metabolic activation.
Strong toxic effects occurred at 187.5 µg/mL and above with and without metabolic activation following 4 and 24 hours of treatment.
The test medium was checked for precipitation at the end of each treatment period (4 or 24 hours) before the test item was removed. Precipitation was observed by the unaided eye at 750 µg/mL and above with and without metabolic activation at both treatment intervals.
The dose range of the main experiments was set according to the data generated in the pre-experiment. The experimental part of the second
experiment with metabolic activation was terminated due to exceedingly severe cytotoxicity and repeated at lower concentrations. In both main
experiments the individual concentrations were generally spaced by a factor of 2.0 in the lower range. A narrower spacing was used at the highest concentrations to cover the cytotoxic range more closely.
To overcome problems with possible deviations in toxicity the main experiments were started with more than four concentrations.

Executive summary:

The in-vivo clastogenicity of Hostapon SG was investigated in micronucleus study in bone marrow in mice. Male mice were treated intraperitoneally at concentrations of 400, 200, 100 and 50 mg/kg bw, twice with a 24 hours interval. One death was observed in the 200 mg/kg body weight group (1/6 cases), and four deaths were observed in the 400 mg/kg body weight group (4/6 cases). The surviving animals were killed at 24 hours after the final treatment and the bone-marrow smears were prepared. The proportion of polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) to total erythrocytes was lower in the 100 and 200 mg/kg bw groups, indicating toxic effect in the bone marrow tissue. The percentage of micronucleated polychromatic ethythrocytes (MNPCE) in the treated group was not significantly higher than that in the negative control group.

Hostapon SG is not clastogenic in in-vivo test system.
