Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
Limited data is available for Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide (T). The conclusion is therefore also based on read across to OBSH (S1).
Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide was mutagenic in two reverse mutation assays (OECD 471) with Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli with and wihtout S9 and in mouse lymphoma mutagenicity assay, but not did not induce chromosomal aberrations.
In summary, OBSH was shown to be mutagenic in two reliable reverse mutation assays (OECD 471) with Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli with and wihtout S9.
Further a reliable a mammalian chromosome aberation test (OECD 473) was positive with and without S9 and also a hepatocyte DNA repair test was positive in rat as well as mouse heaptocytes.
In an in vivo OECD 474 OBSH did not induce micronuclei and chromosome aberations in mouse erythrocytes. Although no structural anomalies were found in this vivo test, OBSH with its reactive hydrazide structure most still be highly suspected to be a mutagen due to the clear positive in vitro tests showing direct mutagenic response, clastogenic repsonse and impact on DNA repair.
Based on this it is considered most appropriate to assign a classification with Muta 2 H341 to OBSH, as further more targeted in vivo testing on the direct mutagenic properties is considered superfluous as positive response is considered to be the most probable outcome.
Based on read-across to these data Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide (T) should also be classified with Muta 2 H341, as well.

The genetic toxicity of OBSH was evaluated in an in vitro Mammalian chromosome aberration test on chinese hamster lung cells. The study was performed in accordance with the OECD guideline 473.
Significant dose-dependent increases in the proportion of cells with structural aberrations were observed in cultures both in the absence (557 to 870mg/mL) and presence (446 to 557mg/mL) metabolic activation system. Significant increases in the proportion of cells with numerical aberrations were not observed in cultures at all concentration levels.

In all experiments, the top dose was the highest dose at which an adequate number of metaphase cells could be recovered. The results demonstrate that TSH does not induce chromosomal aberrations in CHO cells.

- Mutant frequencies were expressed as mutants per 106 surviving cells. Although there are several different methods for evaluating mouse lymphoma data, results from this study were interpreted using a doubling of the mutant frequency over the concurrent solvent-treated control value as an indication of a positive effect, together with evidence of a dose-related increase. Only doses yielding total growth values of 10% were used in the analysis of induced mutant frequency. Doses yielding less than 10% total growth were used in determining dose response.

There are several criteria for determining a positive result, such as a dose-related increase in the number of micronucleated cells or a clear increase in the number of micronucleated cells in a single dose group at a single sampling time. - Statistics:
- To compare the results of the control and treatment groups, Kruskal-Wallis’ H-test was carried out. If this result was significant, Dunnett’s t-test was conducted to find out significance. If there was a significant difference, Cochran-Armitage trend test was conducted to confirm the dose-dependency. Mann-Whitney’s U-test was carried out to compare the results of the control and positive controls.

No data is available for Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide (T).
The genetic toxicity in vivo of OBSH was evaluated in accordance with the OECD guideline 474 in a Mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test.
All animals dosed with OBSH exhibited similar PCE/(PCE + NCE) ratios and MNPCE frequencies compared to those of negative control animals (p > 0.01). All frequencies of MNPCE in the negative control groups fell within acceptable ranges, while the positive control groups induced clear increase in the frequencies of MNPCE.
It was concluded that OBSH did not induce micronuclei in the mice bone marrow cells.
Due to the close chemical similarity to Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide this value may be considered relevant for this substances as well.

Additional information
OBSH was shown to be mutagenic in two reliable reverse mutation assays (OECD 471) with Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli with and wihtout S9.
Further a reliable a mammalian chromosome aberation test (OECD 473) was positive with and without S9 and further a hepatocyte DNA repair test was positive in rat as well as mouse heaptocytes.
The genetic toxicity of OBSH in vivo was evaluated in a mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus test (OECD 474). It was concluded that OBSH did not induce micronuclei in mouse erythrocytes (negative).
Although no structural anomalies were found in this vivo test OBSH must be suspeced to be a mutagen due to the clear positive in vitro tests showing direct mutagenic response, clastogenic response and response on DNA repair.
Hence
Short description of key information:
In in vitro bacterial reverse mutation tests (OECD TG 471), OBSH showed positive results in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and/or Escherichia coli (WP2 uvrA) with or without S9 mix. In a chromosomal aberration test (OECD TG 473) with CHL cells and in a DNA repair test with rat and mouse hepatocytes, OBSH elicited positive results. However, in an in vivo mammalian erythrocyte micronucleus assay (OECD TG 474), OBSH did not exhibit mutagenic effects in mouse bone marrow cells at doses ranging from 375 to 1,500 mg/kg bw.
Endpoint Conclusion: Adverse effect observed (positive)
Justification for classification or non-classification
In summary, OBSH was shown to be mutagenic in two reliable reverse mutation assays (OECD 471) with Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli with and wihtout S9.
Further a reliable a mammalian chromosome aberation test (OECD 473) was positive with and without S9 and also a hepatocyte DNA repair test was positive in rat as well as mouse heaptocytes.
In an in vivo OECD 474 OBSH did not induce micronuclei and chromosome aberations in mouse erythrocytes. Although no structural anomalies were found in this vivo test, OBSH with its reactive hydrazide structure most still be highly suspected to be a mutagen due to the clear positive in vitro tests showing direct mutagenic response, clastogenic repsonse and impact on DNA repair.
Based on this it is considered most appropriate to assign a classification with Muta 2 H341 to OBSH (S1), as further more targeted in vivo testing on the direct mutagenic properties is considered superfluous as positive response is considered to be the most probable outcome.
Based on read-across to these data Toluene-4-sulphonohydrazide (T) should also be classified with Muta 2 H341, as well.
