Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
There was no evidence of a treatment related genetic toxicity effect.
Executive summary:

Three groups of 5 Sprague Dawley rats of each sex were given a single dose test material (3, 1 and 0.3 g/kg) intraperitoneally. One  group of each  treatment and sex was killed 6, 24 and 48 hours after  treatment, having been injected with colchicine two or three hours previously. The bone 

marrow was removed, fixed, stained with Giemsa and  examined for chromosomal aberrations.  Negative and positive control  groups were also included. There was no evidence of a treatment related genetic toxicity effect.
