Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells
Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
not specified
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 mix, male rat liver, Aroclor 1254 induced
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
100-2400 µg/mL
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
not specified
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
not specified
True negative controls:
not specified
Positive controls:
not specified
Evaluation criteria:
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.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
p-toluenesulfonic hydrazide (TSH) showed mutagenic effects in mouse lymphoma L5178Y at 1000 µg/mL without S9 metabolic activation system. The results were equivocal with S9 metabolic activation system
Executive summary:

The genetic toxicity of p-toluenesulfonic hydrazide (TSH)was evaluation in a Mouse lymphoma mutagenicity assay. The study was performed in equivalence to OECD guideline 476.


TSH showed mutagenic effects in mouse lymphoma L5178Y at 1000 µg/mL without S9 metabolic activation system. The results were equivocal with S9 metabolic activation system.
