DURATION
- Pre-incubation period: Exponentially growing CHO-K1 cells were plated at a density of approximately 10ˆ6 cells in 75 cm2 flasks in quintuplicate with 15 ml of F12 FBS10 and incubated at 36.4°C to 36.5°C for 24 hours.
- Exposure duration: 3 hours
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): Each culture from the solvent control, positive control and treatment groups was harvested at 21 hours and 25 minutes after the beginning of the treatment and processed separately for the preparation of chromosomes.
SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): Colchicine at 0.2 µg/ml
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method:
Concurrent cytotoxicity for all treated and control cultures was recorded soon after trypsinization, based on cell counts as explained under the preliminary cytotoxicity study. At the time of chromosome preparation, about 0.2 ml of mitotic cells of each group from individual replicates were pooled into respective test tubes, mixed well and the cell counts were determined separately using a haemocytometer.
Mitotic Arrest:
At 19 hours and 30 minutes after the start of the treatment, 300 µl of Colchicine (10 µg/mi) was transferred into tubes containing 15 ml of F12 FBS10, mixed well and poured into respective flasks after removal of the existing medium.
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
The chromosome and chromatid aberrations observed have been grouped into three categories - gaps, breaks (includes deletions and displacements) and exchanges. Endoreduplication and ring chromosomes were also observed. - Evaluation criteria:
- Biological relevance of the results should be considered first. Statistical methods may be used as an aid in evaluating the test results, but statistical significance should not be the only determining factor for a positive response. However, there are certain reservations based on the differences in ranking the types of aberrations. Gaps are ranked lowest and exchange configurations are ranked highest.
A positive result is strengthened by the demonstration of a dose-related increase of the effect. This is particularly crucial if only the frequency of gaps is increased.
Exchanges are such rare events (<1 in 1000 cells) that they are seldom observed in control samples. Thus, the observation of exchanges in experimental groups, even without a dose-related increase, is a strong indication for a positive response. - Statistics:
- The data analysed were the proportions of aberrant metaphases in each sample, both including and excluding gaps as aberrations. The pooled data from each test concentration and the positive control data was compared with the solvent control using one-tailed Fisher exact test.
All analysis and comparisons was evaluated at 5% (P<0.05) level.

- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: The pH of the test medium at the end of the treatment period ranged from 6.93 to 7.40 with 7.29 in the DMSO control.
- Water solubility: soluble in DMSO
- Precipitation: No precipitation was observed even at the highest tested concentration of 5000 µg/ml.
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
There was no monolayer attachment at 1200 µg/ml and above, when CHO cells were exposed to the test item for 3 hours in the presence of and also continuously for 21 hours in the absence of metabolic activation. Similarly, there was no monolayer attachment at 600 µg/ml and above, when CHO cells were exposed to the test item for 3 hours in the absence of metabolic activation.
There was evidence of significant growth inhibition (> 50% inhibition) at 300 µg/ml and above in the presence of metabolic activation, when compared with the DMSO control. There was significant growth inhibition at 300 µg/ml compared to the DMSO control, when CHO cells were exposed to the test item in the absence of metabolic activation. Similarly, when CHO cells were exposed continuously to the test item for 21 hours, there was a significant reduction in the growth of the cells compared to the DMSO control at 150 µg/ml. However, at 300 µg/ml, the cells were dead and disfigured.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
At the highest concentration tested, the reduction in the cell growth was 53.94 and 56.39 % over the DMSO control, in the presence and absence of S-9 activation, respectively.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Presence of metabolic activation:
The incidence of aberrant metaphases both including and excluding gaps was statistically comparable to the DMSO control at the lowest tested concentration of 75 µg/ml. There was a biological, as well as a statistically significant, increase in the incidence of aberrant metaphases both including and excluding gaps at and above 150 µg/ml test concentration over the DMSO control. Exchange figures were observed in all the three tested concentrations. Ring chromosome was observed at the highest tested concentration of 300 µg/ml. The positive control, Cyclophosphamide, caused a statistically significant increase in the aberrant metaphases both including and excluding gaps.
Absence of metabolic activation:
There was a biological as well as a statistically significant increase in the incidence of aberrant metaphases both including and excluding gaps at all the three tested concentrations over the DMSO control. Exchange figures were observed in all the three tested concentrations. Ring chromosome was observed at 55 and 220 µg/ml test concentrations.
Ethylmethanesulphonate caused a statistically significant increase in aberrant metaphases both including and excluding gaps.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results:
positive
From the results of the study, it is concluded that the test item 2-sec butyl-4,6 dinitrophenol (CAS RN: 88-85-7) is clastogenic in CHO cells at the tested concentrations and under the conditions of testing employed. - Executive summary:
The genotoxic potential of the test item 2-sec butyl-4,6 dinitrophenol (CAS RN: 88-85-7) to induce chromosome aberrations in mammalian cells was evaluated using cultured Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO) cells. One trial each, in the presence and absence of metabolic activation was conducted.
For the experiment in the presence of metabolic activation, CHO cells were exposed to the test item in quintuplicate for 3 hours at concentrations of 75, 150 and 300 µg/ml of the medium in the presence of exogenous metabolic activation system, containing post-mitochondrial supernatant (S-9 homogenate) of the liver of rats treated with Aroclor 1254.
For the experiment in the absence of metabolic activation, CHO cells were exposed to the test item at concentrations of 55, 110 and 220 µg/ml of the medium for 3 hours. In a similar way, concurrent solvent control (DMSO) and appropriate positive controls viz., Cyclohosphamide in the presence of metabolic activation and Ethylmethanesulphonate in the absence of metabolic activation were also tested in quintuplicate. In each case, the cells in C-metaphase were harvested at 21 hours and 25 minutes after the start of the treatment from the DMSO control, all three concentrations of the test item and the positive controls and the slides were prepared for chromosome analysis. A total of 200 metaphases from quintuplicate cultures from the DMSO control, each treatment group and the positive control were evaluated for chromosome aberrations. The data from the treatment groups and the positive control were statistically compared with the DMSO control.
There was evidence of induction of chromosome aberrations with experiments in the presence and absence of metabolic activation, both including and excluding gaps. In each of these experiments, the respective positive control items produced a large and statistically significant increase in aberrant metaphases, under identical conditions. At the highest concentration tested, the reduction in the cell growth was 53.94 and 56.39 % over the DMSO control, both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation, respectively.
The study indicated that the test item has the potential to cause chromosome aberrations at the concentrations tested and under the conditions of testing.
