Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
Genetic toxicity, in vitro
The study was performed to investigate the potential of the Similar substance 01 to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100. The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. It was concluded that the metabolites of the substance exerted a mutagenic action on strain S. typhimurium TA 98.
The Similar substance 03 was assessed for its mutagenic potential in the chromosome aberration test in human lymphocytes in vitro in the absence and presence of S9 mix (supporting study). In the described study and under the experimental conditions reported, the test article (read across substance did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in human lymphocytes in vitro.
In the supporting pre-experiment on toxicity (scoring the mitotic index) with and without S9 mix treatment with 500 µg/ml reduced the mitotic index to about 50 % as compared to the negative controls. The Similar substance 03 did not relevantly increase the number of cells carrying structural chromosome aberrations neither in the absence nor in the presence of S9 mix.

- Executive summary:
The study was performed to investigate the potential of Fteh Similar substance 01 to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100. The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation.
Under the experimental conditions defined in the protocol, and employing a doubling of the spontaneous reversion rate and dose-effect relationship as criteria of mutagenicity, the product was found mutagenic for S. typhimurium strain TA 98. No mutagenic effect was observed with the strains TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 100. With TA 98, the evidence of mutagenicity existed at 2000 µg in the presence of S-9 mix, and at 200 µg and 2000 µg of product per Petri dish without S-9 mix. In the absence of S-9 mix, at 2000 µg of product per plate, a toxic effect was noted with a dispersed background lawn. A complete disappearance of the background lawn was observed with the strains TA 1535 and TA 1537 at 2000 µg in the absence of S-9 mix.
It is concluded that the metabolites of the substance exerted a mutagenic action on strain S. typhimurium TA 98.

Genetic toxicity in vivo
Description of key information
Genetic toxicity, in vivo
An in vivo study was performed to investigate the potential to induce micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) in the bone marrow of the mouse. None of the animals expressed toxic reactions. In conclusion, it can be stated that during the study described and under the experimental conditions reported, the test article did not induce micronuclei as determined by the micronucleus test with bone marrow cells of the mouse. Therefore, the Similar substance 01 is considered to be non-mutagenic in this micronucleus assay.

- Tissues and cell types examined:
- The animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation: The femora were removed, the epiphyses were cut off and the marrow was flushed out with fetal calf serum, using a syringe. The cell suspension was centrifuged at 1500 rpm (390 x g) for 10 minutes and the supernatant was discarded. A small drop of the resuspended cell pellet was spread on a slide. The smear was air-dried and then stained with May-Griinwald (MERCK, D-64293 Darmstadt)/Giemsa (Gurr, BDH Limited Poole, Great Britain). Cover slips were mounted with EUKITT (KINDLER, D-79110 Freiburg). At least one slide was made from each bone marrow sample.
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- Analysis of Cells:Evaluation of the slides was performed using NIKON microscopes with lOOx oil immersion objectives. At least 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) were analysed per animal for micronuclei. To describe a cytotoxic effect the ratio between polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes was determined in the same sample and expressed in normochromatic erythrocytes per 1000 the PCEs. The analysis was performed with coded slides.Five animals per sex and group were evaluated as described. The remaining 6th animal of each test group was evaluated in case an animal had died in its test group.
- Evaluation criteria:
- The study is considered valid if the following criteria are met:- the vehicle controls are in the range of our historical control data (0.03 - 0.26 % PCEs with micronuclei).- the positive controls show substantially increased values- more than 80 % of animals are évaluable

- Executive summary:
An in vivo study was performed to investigate the potential to induce micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) in the bone marrow of the mouse. The test article was formulated in deionised water . Deionised water was used as vehicle control. The volume administered orally was 20 ml/kg b.w.. 24 h and 48 h after a single administration of the test article the bone marrow cells were collected for micronuclei analysis. Ten animals (5 males, 5 females) per test group were evaluated for the occurrence of micronuclei. 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) per animal were scored for micronuclei. To describe a cytotoxic effect due to the treatment with the test article the ratio between polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes (NCE) was determined in the same sample and reported as the number of NCE per 1000 PCE. The following dose levels of the test article were investigated: 24 h preparation interval: 200, 670 and 2000 mg/kg b.w.. 48 h preparation interval: 2000 mg/kg b.w.. The highest guideline-recommended dose (2000 mg/kg) was estimated by a pre-experiment to be suitable. None of the animals expressed toxic reactions.
After treatment with the highest dose of test article the number of NCEs was increased as compared to the corresponding vehicle controls thus indicating that the Similar substance 01 had cytotoxic effectiveness in the bone marrow. In comparison to the corresponding vehicle controls there was no significant enhancement in the frequency of the detected micronuclei at any preparation interval after administration of the test article and with any dose level used. 40 mg/kg b.w. cyclophosphamide administered per os was used as positive control which showed a statistically significant increase of induced micronucleus frequency.
In conclusion, it can be stated that during the study described and under the experimental conditions reported, the test article did not induce micronuclei as determined by the micronucleus test with bone marrow cells of the mouse. Therefore, the Similar substance 01 is considered to be non-mutagenic in this micronucleus assay.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on negative results in in vitro chromosomal aberration assay and mammalian cell mutation assay (HPRT) with the read across substance 03 as well as the in vivo micronucleus assay with Similar substance 03, the registered substance can be considered to be non-genotoxic. Hence, the substance is not classified.
