- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- Solutions of the test item, as received, were prepared immediately before use in DMSO. Solutions were prepared on a weight/volume basis without correction for the displacement due to the volume of the test item, i.e. the test item was weighed and the necessary volume of solvent was added in order to reach the required concentration.
An initial assay using the plate incorporation method was utilised. The assay was repeated using the pre-incubation method. - Rationale for test conditions:
- Solubility of the test item was evaluated in a preliminary trial using DMSO. This solvent was selected since it is compatible with the survival of the
bacteria and the S9 metabolic activity. The test item was found to be soluble at 100 mg/mL.This result permitted a maximum concentration of 5000 μg/plate to be used in the toxicity test. - Evaluation criteria:
- Criteria for positive: A two-fold (or more) increase in mean revertant numbers must be observed at two consecutive doses or at the highest practicable dose only. Also, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship.
- Statistics:
- Mean plus standard deviation, according to accepted methods.

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The assay was performed in a pre-test and three independent experiments: (experiment I (+S9 and -S9 with an exposure time of 4 h), repetition of experiment I (+S9) and experiment II (-S9 with an exposure time of 24 h)). The pre-test was done to detect a potential cytotoxic effect of the test item.
Start of the experimental phases: first experiment I: 18. Jul. 2016; second experiment I: 08. Aug. 2016; experiment II: 10. Aug. 2016.
The experimental performance in experiment I and II are identical except the treatment period with the test item. In experiment I the test item is incubated for 4 hours (with and without S9) and the cells are afterwards washed two times with PBS Dulbecco (2.5 % HS). In experiment II the incubation time with the test item is 24 hours (without S9) and is not followed by a washing step.
First approximately 106 cells per 10 cm culture dish and approximately 500 cells per 6 cm culture dish were seeded per tested concentration as well as for the solvent and positive controls and incubated for 24 ± 2 hours. The incubation conditions during the whole assay were 37.0° at 1.5 °C in 5 ± 0.5 % CO2.
Afterwards the cells were treated with the test item. Each concentration was prepared in duplicates. After the treatment period (experiment I +S9 and –S9: 4 h; experiment II -S9: 24 h) the cells were washed with PBS Dulbecco (2.5 % HS) twice (not in experiment II –S9). Fresh complete culture medium (5 % HS) was added to the cells before the following incubation. The further implementation of the experiment was divided into the determination of the survival as well as the viability and the mutagenicity.
For the determination of a cytotoxic effect of the test item, the survival of the cells was measured. For this purpose, the cells in the 6 cm dishes were stained with 0.1 % Löffler’s methylene blue solution in 0.01 % KOH solution after a 7 day-incubation time. The colonies were counted and the cloning efficiency (absolute and relative) was calculated.
For the determination of the second part of the experiment (viability and mutagenicity), the cells in the 10 cm culture dishes were counted and adjusted to 1 * 106 cells per 10 cm cul- ture dish after an incubation time of 68.5 to 72 hours. Subsequently, the cells were incu- bated further for 96 to 98.75 hours. Except in the first experiment I (see deviations from the study plan, page 28), the total expression time was at least 168 h. Afterwards the cells were counted again and seeded into 10 cm culture dishes (5 * 105 cells) for the evaluation of the mutagenicity in selection medium containing 6-TG and into 6 cm culture dishes (500 cells) for the evaluation of the viability in complete culture medium. Both plates were incubated for further 7 days. After this incubation time the cell colonies were stained with 0.1 % Löffler’s methylene blue solution in 0.01 % KOH solution and counted for the calculation of the cloning efficiency II and the mutation frequency. - Evaluation criteria:
- Assay acceptability
1. the mutant frequency found in the solvent controls is within the laboratory historical control data range
2. the positive control substances shows a significant increase (p < 0.05) in mutant frequency and lies in the range of the historical data.
3. two experimental conditions (+S9 and -S9) are tested.
4. adequate number of cells (spontaneous MF is 5 - 20 * 10-6) and concentrations (minimum of 4) are analysable.
5. the criteria for the selection of top concentration are consistent with the protocol.
A test item is classified as positive if it induces either a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency or a reproducible and positive response at one of the test points. A test item producing neither a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency nor a reproducible positive response at any of the test points is considered non- mutagenic in this system.
A positive response (classified as mutagenic) is described as follows:
• it reproducibly induces a mutation frequency that is significantly above the spontaneous mutation frequency at least at one of the concentrations in the experiment.
• there is a reproducible concentration-related increase of the mutation frequency.
• if any of the results are outside the historical data of the negative/solvent control.
However, in a case by case evaluation this decision depends on the level of the corresponding solvent control data. If there is by chance of a low spontaneous mutation rate within the laboratories historical control data range, a concentration-related increase of the mutations within this range has to be discussed. The variability of the mutation rates of solvent controls within all experiments of this study was also taken into consideration. - Key result

- Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79)
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
- cytotoxicity
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Untreated negative controls validity:
- not applicable
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- No increase in mutant frequency was seen with exposure to the test item. Cytotoxicity was not observed in the first experiment in the main test (4 h treatment time, 0.63 mg/ml). As this finding was different from that of the pre-test, an experiment with metabolic activation was repeated and the result did not show actual toxicity but did show a strong cytotoxic tendency, with RS values of 24 -29%. These differences from the pre-test values suggest that the test material may not be fully solubilised in the vehicle. Precipitation of the test item was visible at the next highest dose level. However, the results of experiments 1 and 2 (exposure time of 24 h and without S9) were consistent, and the substance was determined to be non-cytotoxic.
- Conclusions:
- The test item did not induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus in V79 cells in the absence and presence of metabolic activation, in this guideline OECD 476 assay.

In experiment two, the concentrations were 40 mg/ml, 35 mg/ml, 30 mg/ml, 20 mg/ml, 10 mg/ml, and 5 mg/ml.
According to OECD TG 487, the maximum concentration of the test item should be 2 μl/mL, 2 mg/mL or 10mM, whichever is the lowest. When cytotoxicity occurs, the highest concentration should aim to produce 55 ± 5% cytotoxicity. On the basis of the data found in the pre-experiment, 5 concentrations of the test data were used in experiment 1 and tested with and without metabolic activation. - Vehicle / solvent:

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The blood cultures were set up in defined time intervals within 24 h after collection in sterile culture vessels for cell proliferation.
In the pre-experiment and in experiment I with and without metabolic activation, after the initial period of incubation and cell proliferation, the blood cultures were centrifuged (10min, 500*g), the supernatant was discarded and the cells were resuspended in serum free RPMI 1640.Solvent control, positive control or test item was added.
In experiment II without metabolic activation, 48h after seeding, the blood cultures were centrifuged (10min, 500*g). The cell pellet was resuspended in complete culture medium RPMI 1640, cytochalasin B (final concentration 6 μg/mL) and solvent control,test item or positive control was added. - Rationale for test conditions:
- As the test item showed complete cytotoxicity(except 0.16 mg/mL with metabolic activation), experiment I was performed with a different range of concentrations.
- Evaluation criteria:
- The gene mutation assay is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
1. the mutant frequency found in the solvent controls falls within the laboratory historical control data range
2. the positive control substances must produce a significant increase (p < 0.05) in mutant frequency and lies in the range of the historical data.
3. two experimental conditions (+S9 and -S9) are tested.
4. adequate number of cells (spontaneous MF is 5 - 20 * 10-6) and concentrations (mini- mum of 4) are analysable.
5. the criteria for the selection of top concentration are consistent with those described in the
The test item is considered to have no genotoxic effects if:
• Neither a statistically significant nor a concentration-related increase of the number of micronucleate cells in the evaluated test concentrations is observed.
• The obtained results lie within the range of the historical laboratory control data for solvent controls.
The test item is considered to have genotoxic effects if:
• At least one test concentration shows a statistically significant increase of micronucleate cells compared to the concurrent solvent control.
• In at least one experimental condition a dose-related increase of micronucleate cells can be observed.
• Any of the results lies outside the range of the historical laboratory control data for solvent controls.

- Additional information on results:
- No increase in micronucleate cells was observed in lymphocytes treated with the test item.
In the pre-experiment, all concentrations caused cytotoxicity except in 0.16 mg/mL. No precipitation was observed, but moderate to strong haemolysis was seen. Therefore, only the positive and solvent controls were scored. Lower concentrations were chosen for the main study.
In experiment 1, only the highest concentration showed complete cytotoxicity with and without metabolic activation. The other concentrations showed little or no cytotoxicity.
In experiment 2, no relevant cytotoxicity was observed, only a slight decrease in growth at the highest concentration. - Conclusions:
- The test item is considered nongenotoxic under the conditions of this in vitro micronucleus assay (OECD 487) in primary human lymphocytes.
