DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth - Evaluation criteria:
- A response was considered to be positive if the induced mutant frequency (mutant frequency of the test substance minus that of the vehicle negative control) was more than 100 mutants per 1000000 clonable cells. A response was considered to be equivocal if the induced mutant frequency was more than 50 mutants per 1000000 clonable cells. Any apparent increase in mutant frequency at concentrations of the test substance causing more than 90 % cytotoxicity was considered to be an artefact and not indicative of genotoxicity.
The test substance was considered to be mutagenic in the gene mutation test at the TK-locus if it produced neither a dose-related increase in the mutant frequency nor a reproducible positive response at any of the test points. - Statistics:
- No statistical analysis was performed

Any other information on results incl. tables
In both the absence and presence of S9-mix no increases of the mean mutant frequency by more than 50 mutants per 1000000 clonable cells compared to negative control were observed. As exspected, the cultures treated with the positive controls exhibited significant increases in mutation frequency relative to their solvent control cultures.
Summary of the results:
Dose (mmol/L) | absence of S9 | presence of S9 | ||
mean MF | Mean RTG | mean MF | RTG | |
10 | 117 | 179 | 117 | 85 |
7 | 154 | 135 | 83 | 80 |
4.9 | 121 | 145 | 111 | 88 |
2.4 | 103 | 139 | 145 | 90 |
1.2 | 138 | 109 | 127 | 96 |
0 | 171 | 100 | 118 | 100 |
Positive and negative controls
Methyl methanesulphonate (MMS) and 3 -methylcholanthrene (MCA) were used as positive control substances in the absence and in the presence of the S9 -mix, respectively. DMSO served as negative control. The negative controls were within acceptable ranges and treatment with the positive controls yielded the exspected significant increase in mutant frequency compared to the negative control.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results:
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation
In conclusion, 3-methyl-1,5-pentane-diol is not mutagenic at the TK-locus of mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells under the conditions in this study. - Executive summary:
MPD was examined for its potential to induce gene mutataions at the TK-locus of cultured mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells in both absence and presence of metabolic activation system (S9 -mix). One assay was conducted; in the assay five concentrations were tested in duplicate in both absence and presence of S9 -mix. The test substance was diluted in DMSO prior to testing.
The highest concentration tested and evaluated for mutagenicity was 10 mmol/l in both the absence and presence of S9 -mix.
MPD was not cytotoxic to L5178Y. The relative total growth at the highest concentration was not decreased compared to the negative control. No increase of mutant frequency was observed at any dose level. Methyl methansulphonate MMS and 3 -methylcholanthrene were used as positive controls, respectively. Treatment with controls yielded the expected significant increase in mutant frequency.
Under the conditions of the study the test substance MPD is not mutagenic at the TK-locus of mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells.
