- The test compound dilutions were prepared fresh each day. 6250 mg was weighed in a beaker, mixed with deionisized water, washed out in a 25 ml flask and topped up to the calibration mark. A solution was formed.
For the Endoxan® stock solution, 5 ml distilled water were added to 100 mg Endoxan® in an injection phial and shaken to form a clear solution. The solutions for administration were prepared from this stock solution. For this purpose, 2 ml of the 2 % stock solution were mixed with 6 ml distilled water.
The test compound was administered orally by gavage to male and female mice. The following doses were tested: 0 and 5000 mg Reaktiv-Rot F-66 813 FW per kg bodyweight. The 5000 mg per kg bodyweight dose level was chosen since a preliminary study had shown it to be the maximum applicable dose. The animals were treated once with the test compound and according to the test procedure the animals were killed 24, 48 or 72 hours after administration of the test compound. - Duration of treatment / exposure:

Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:

- Extraction of the bone marrow
In conformity with the test procedure the animals were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation 24, 48 or 72 hours after application. For each animal, about 3 ml foetal bovine serum was poured into a centrifuge tube. Both femora were removed and the bones freed of muscle tissue. The proximal ends of the femora were opened and the bone marrow flushed into the centrifuge tube. A suspension was formed. The mixture was then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 1200 rpm and almost all the supernatant discarded. One drop of the thoroughly mixed sediment was smeared on a cleaned slide, identified by project code and animal number and air-dried for about 24 hours.

coating with Entellan - Evaluation criteria:
- 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes were counted for each animal. The number of cells with micronuclei was recorded, not the number of individual micronuclei. As a control measure 1000 mature erythrocytes were also counted and examined for micronuclei. In addition, the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was determined. All bone marrow smears for evaluation are coded to ensure that the group to which they belonged remains unknown to the investigator. The number of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei occurring in the 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes counted, and the number of normocytes with micro-nuclei occurring in the 1000 normocytes counted, were evaluated statistically; comparison of dose groups with the simultaneous control group was performed according to Wilcoxon (paired, one-sided, increase), (4).
The results of the treatment groups (test substance) in the micronucleus test at each dose and killing time were compared with corresponding control values. The ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was also evaluated statistically by the method of Wilcoxon (paired, two sided) (4). - Statistics:
- The statistical evaluations were performed using the "Diamant" computer program Version 2.0, supplied by the Department of Information and Communication Hoechst AG. All statistical results are based on a 95 % level of significance. Actual data were also compared with historical controls.

- Additional information on results:
- Animals were treated with 0 and 5000 mg test substance per kg bodyweight to study the induction of micronuclei in bone marrow cells of mice.
All animals survived after application of 5000 mg/kg bodyweight. No signs of toxicity were observed.
The bone marrow smears were examined for the occurance of micronuclei in red blood cells.
The incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in the dose groups of the test substance was within the normal range of the negative control groups. No statistically significant increase of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes has been observed. The number of normochromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei did not differ significantly from the values of the simultaneous control animals for each of the three killing times investigated. The ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to normocytes remained essentially unaffected by the test compound. A small reduction in the ratio of polycromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was within the normal range of the historical controls and was considered as of no toxicological significance.
Cyclophosphamid (Endoxan(R)) induced a marked and statistically significant increase of the number of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei in both males and females indicating the sensitivity to the test system.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Administration of the test substance did not lead to a substantial increase of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. It is concluded that the test substance is not cytogenic in the micronucleus test.
- Executive summary:
This test was performed according to OECD guideline for testing of chemicals 474, 1983; Genetic Toxicology, Micronucleus test. No unforeseen circumstances were observed, which may have affected the quality and integrity of this study. The study was conducted in compliance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice.
The test substance was tested in the micronucleus test. The test compound was administered orally by gavage to male and female mice. The following doses were tested: 0 and 5000 mg/kg bodyweight.
The 5000 mg per kg bodyweight dose level was chosen since a preliminary study had shown it to be the maximum applicable dose.
The test compound was given in two equal parts within two hours and according to the test procedure the animals were killed 24, 48 or 72 hours after administration of the test compound.
Endoxan® was used as positive control substance and was administered orally at a dose of 50 mg per kg bodyweight.
The incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes of the animals treated with the test substance was within the normal range of the negative control. The number of normochromatic erythrocytes containing micronuclei was not increased. The ratio of polychromatic/normochromatic erythrocytes remained essentially unaffected by the test compound. A small reduction in the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was noted for male animals at 24 h killing time only. However this value was within the normal range of the historical controls and was considered as of no toxicologocal significance.
Endoxan® induced in both males and females a marked statistically significant increase in the number of polychromatic cells with micronuclei, indicating the sensitivity of the system. The ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to normocytes showed a significant difference to the negative control values.
The results indicate that, under the conditions of the present study, the test substance is not mutagenic in the micronucleus test.
