KY-EU was tested in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay with TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 100, TA 98 and TA 102 according to OECD Guideline 471 and GLP principles.
KY-EU did not induce a dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies in each of the five strains both with and without S9 mix, to concentrations up to and including the highest concentration tested due to precipitation of the test substance. These results were confirmed in a independently repeated experiment. - Endpoint:

- lymphocytes: Cultured peripheral human lymphocytes
- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- - Type and identity of media:
Blood samples: human lymphocytes were prepared from whole blood samples obtained from two healthy donors and collected into heparinised sterile tubes.
To prepare each culture, 0.5 mL of heparinised whole blood was to 5 mL of RPMI 1640 medium, supplemented with 20% fetal calf serum, L-glutamine (2 mM), penicillin (100 U/mL), streptomycin (100 μg/mL) and phytohaemagglutinin (PHA: a mitogen to stimulate the lymphocytes to divide).

- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- Aroclor induced rat liver S9 mix
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- No preliminary cytotoxicity test was performed.
The highest technically achievable dose used for treatment was limited by the highest treatment volume used in the laboratory for ethanol (15 μL into 5.5 mL culture medium).
Cytogenetic assay 1, the following dose levels were selected for scoring of chromosome aberrations:
With and without S9-mix : 3.75, 7.5 and 15 μL of ethanol extract/5.5 mL culture medium (3-hour treatment, 20 hour harvest).
Cytogenetic assay 2, the following dose levels were selected for scoring of chromosome aberrations:
Without S9-mix : 3.75, 7.5 and 15 μL of ethanol extract/5.5 mL culture medium (20 hour treatment, 20 hour harvest).
Without S9-mix : 15 μL of ethanol extract/5.5 mL culture medium (44 hour treatment, 44 hour harvest).

- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: ethanol
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test item is not soluble in the vehicles usually used in this test and no homogeneous suspension could be obtained in the vehicles in the vehicles usually used in this test. The suspension obtained in ethanol was the one giving more satisfactory results: adequate mixture between vehicle and test item predisposing to better extraction in the vehicle. Therefore, a test item extract in ethanol was used for treatment and all the dose-levels were expressed as µL of test item extract in ethanol into 5.5 mL treatment medium.
The test item was suspended in ethanol at a concentration of 100 mg/mL. This suspension was incubated for approximately 14 hours, at 37°C under shaking. Then the suspension was centrifuged at approximately 2500 rpm during 6 minutes. The supernatant was removed and used for treatment.

- Ethanol
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- cyclophosphamide
- Remarks:

OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: yes
- Determination of endoreplication: yes - Evaluation criteria:
- A reproducible and statistically significant increase in the frequency of cells with structural chromosome aberrations for at least one of the dose-levels and one of the two harvest times was considered as a positive result. Reference to historical data or other considerations of biological relevance, was also taken into account in the evaluation of the findings.
- Statistics:
- For each test and for each harvest time, the frequency of cells with structural chromosome aberrations (excluding gaps) in treated cultures was compared to that of the vehicle control cultures.

The frequency of cells with structural chromosome aberrations in the positive controls was significant higher than that of the controls and consistent with the historical data.
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
No effects of KY-EU on the number of polyploid cells and cells with endoreduplicated chromosomes were observed both in the absence and presence of S9-mix. - Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation
A chromosome aberration study with KY-EU was performed according to OECD 473 guideline and GLP principles, with cultured peripheral human lymphocytes in two independent experiments.

Tables of the cytogenetic assays and the historical control data, see attached background material.
The analysis of the mutant frequency was evaluated up to 100 μL/20 mL culture medium and 25 μL/20 mL culture medium in the short time treatment with and without metabolic activation, respectively, and 30 μL/20 mL culture medium in the continuous treatment without metabolic activation.
The dose levels of 50 μL/20 mL culture medium in the short time treatment without metabolic activation and 60 and 120 μL/20 mL culture medium in the continuous treatment without metabolic activation were not retained for analysis because of an excessive cytotoxicity.
As a result, the mutant frequency (MF) for the test substance groups was not statistically significantly increased when compared to that for the negative control group in the short time treatment with and without metabolic activation and in the continuous treatment without metabolic activation (Dunnett’s test, p≥0.05).
In the positive control group, the MF was statistically significantly increased when compared to that for the negative control group (short time treatment without metabolic activation and continuous treatment without metabolic activation: Dunnett’s test, p<0.01,short time treatrment with metabolic activation: Dunnett’s test, p<0.05).

Additional information
Ames test:
KY-EU was tested in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay with TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 100, TA 98 and TA 102 according to OECD Guideline 471 and GLP principles.
KY-EU did not induce a dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies in each of the five strains both with and without S9 mix, to concentrations up to and including the highest concentration tested due to precipitation of the test substance. These results were confirmed in a independently repeated experiment.
Chromosome aberration test:
A chromosome aberration study with KY-EU was performed according to OECD 473 guideline and GLP principles, with cultured peripheral human lymphocytes in two independent experiments. Based on the observed absence of increase in the frequency of cells with structural chromosomal aberrations, it is concluded that KY-EU is not clastogenic in human lymphocytes.
Mouse lymphoma assay:
The mouse lymphoma assay with KY-EU was conducted according to OECD 476 guideline and GLP principles.
The mutant frequency (MF) for the test substance groups was not statistically significantly increased when compared to that for the negative control group in the short time treatment with and without metabolic activation and in the continuous treatment without metabolic activation (Dunnett’s test, p≥0.05).
Based on the results KY-EU did not show mutagenic potential in the mammalian cell gene mutation test system using L5178Y/TK+/- mouse lymphoma cells with and without metabolic activation.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
No study was selected, since all three in vitro studies were
negative.
Short description of key information:
Three in vitro tests were performed (AMES test OECD 471, chromosome
aberration test OECD 473 and MLA assay OECD 476). KY-EU was shown to be
negative with and without metabolic activation in all three tests.
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data, KY-EU is not classified for genotoxicity according to CLP Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
