Examinations

- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: A preliminary test was carried out for maximal tolerance in mice. The test materials were administered orally once daily for 2 days at doses of up to 500 mg/kg for cinnamyl nitrile. Based on the results of this preliminary testing, doses were determined for the main study.
TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields):
Main study:
24 hrs (0, 50, 100, 200 mg/Kg bw)
48 hrs (200 mgKg bw)
Repeat study:
24 hrs (150 mg/Kg bw)
48 hrs (150 mgKg bw)
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION: At least one slide was made from each bone marrow sample. A minimum of 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes were analyzed per animal for micronuclei.
METHOD OF ANALYSIS: A test material was classified as mutagenic if it induced either a dose-related increase or a clear increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in a single dose group. A test material that failed to produce a biological relevant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was considered non-mutagenic in this system.
OTHER: The animals of all dose groups were examined for acute toxic symptoms at intervals of 1, 2–4, 6, 24 and 48 h after administration of the test material.
The animals were sacrificed using CO2 followed by bleeding. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test material was classified as mutagenic if it induced either a dose-related increase or a clear increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in a single dose group. A test material that failed to produce a biological relevant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was considered non-mutagenic in this system.
- Statistics:
- Statistical significance at the 5% level (p < 0.05) was conducted using non-parametric Mann Whitney test

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Cinnamyl nitrile did not induce micronuclei formation in bone marrow isolated from male and female NMR1 mice and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
- Executive summary:
In vivo micronucleus assay was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of cinnamyl nitrile. The study was performed as per OECD 474 using male and female NMR1 mice. The test chemical was dissolved in corn oil and used at dose levels of0, 50, 100, 200 mg/Kg bw for 24 hrs and 200 mg/Kg bw for 48 hrs in the main study and 150 mg/Kg bw for 24 and 48 hrs in the repeat study. Cinnamyl nitrile at 200 mg/kg was lethal in seven male mice and in one female mouse. Due to the low survival rates of the male mice, mutagenicity could not be assessed. Hence, additional males were treated with 150 mg/kg and prepared at 24 and 48 h post treatment.The mice were given a single oral dose of the test chemical and were observed for acute toxic symptoms at intervals of 1, 2–4, 6, 24 and 48 h after administration of the test material. The animals were sacrificed using CO2 followed by bleeding and observed for micronuclei formation in bone marrow cells. In the main stusy, Cinnamyl nitrile did not induce micronuclei formation in bone marrow isolated from male and female NMR1 mice. In the repeat experiment, the number of PCEs was not substantially decreased when compared to the mean value of PCEs of the vehicle control thus indicating that cinnamyl nitrile did not exert any cytotoxic effects in the bone marrow. In comparison to the corresponding vehicle controls there was no statistically significant or biologically relevant enhancement in the frequency of the detected micronuclei at any preparation interval or dose level after administration of the test item. The mean values of micronuclei observed after treatment with cinnamyl nitrile were below or near to the value of the vehicle control group. Based on the observations made, cinnamyl nitrile is non-mutagenic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
