Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

It was concluded that 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine had not shown any mutagenic activity under the test conditions used. The test was conducted up to the point of microbial toxicity for each strain tested, with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

A bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) was conducted to determine the potential for the test substance 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine to cause gene mutation. The test was conucted according to OECD test guideline 471 and official Japanese guidelines, and in compliance with GLP. The test involved exposing strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA98) and one strain of Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA/pKM101) to a series of solutions of the test substance in distilled water, by the preincubation method. A preliminary test was conducted to determine the concentrations to be investigated in the main tests, followed by the main test which was performed in duplicate. In the main test, microbial toxicity (cytotoxicity) was seen for each Salmonella strain at 1250 µg/plate and at 2500 µg/plate for E. coli in the absence of S9 mix (metabolic activation). Microbial toxicity was observed for all strains tested at a concentration of 1250 µg/plate in the presence of S9 mix. None of the strains tested, either in the presence or the absence of S9 mix / metabolic activation showed a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies relevant to the concurrent negative controls (a two-fold increase was considered significant). The concurrent positive control plates showed an increase in the number of revertant colonies relative to the negative controls, and so the test was shown to be valid. It was concluded that 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine had not shown any mutagenic activity under the test conditions used.

In the negative control group, both the incidences of cells with structural and numerical aberrations were less than 5%. In the positive control group, the incidence of cells with structural aberrations was more than 10%.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative without metabolic activation
positive with metabolic activation

In conclusion, 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine was considered to have the potential to induce chromosomal aberration in CHL/IU cells under the conditions employed in this study (short-term treatment assay in the absence of S9 mix) .


Executive summary:

An in vitro chromosomal aberration study of 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine was conducted with CHL/IU cells derived from the lungs of female Chinese hamsters as the indicator cells.

 

Based on the results of a preliminary test, a cell growth inhibition test was conducted as follows in short-term treatment assays in the absence of S9 mix (–S9 mix assay) and in the presence of S9 mix (+S9 mix assay), and in a continuous treatment assay for 24 hours (24-hour assay).

−S9 mix: 125, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500 mg/mL

+S9 mix:125, 250, 500, 750, 1000, 1250, 1500 mg/mL

24 hours: 12.5, 25, 50, 75, 100, 125, 150, 200mg/mL

As a result, 50% cell growth inhibition concentrations (IC50) were 297 mg/mL in the –S9 mix assay and 353 mg/mL in the +S9 mix assay. On the other hand, since 50% cell growth inhibition was not observed in the 24-hour assay, the cell growth inhibition test-2 was conducted as follows.

24 hours: 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 mg/mL

As a result, IC50was 320mg/mL in the 24-hour assay.

 

Based on the results of IC50, the chromosomal aberration test was conducted as follows.

−S9 mix: 200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 mg/mL

+S9 mix:250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 mg/mL

As a result, the incidences of structural chromosome aberrations were 8.5%, 16.8%, and 16.5% at 400, 450, and 500 mg/mL, respectively, in the S9 mix assay. On the other hand, the incidence of structural chromosome aberrations was 5.5% (inconclusive: 5% or more, but less than 10%) at 500 mg/mL in the +S9 mix assay. Therefore, a confirmation test was conducted at 400, 450 and 500 mg/mL in the +S9 mix assay.

As a result, the incidences of structural aberrations were less than 5% in all test substance treatment groups with no reproducibility.

 

In conclusion, 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine was considered to have the potential to induce chromosomal aberrations in CHL/IU cells under the conditions (short-term treatment assay in the absence of S9 mix) employed in this study.

Tissues and cell types examined:
Bone marrow from both femurs of each rat was collected. Polychromatic erythrocytes were examined.
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
The bone marrow of both femurs from each animal was flushed out and pooled in a total volume of 3 mL of filtered foetal calf serum by aspiration.
The resulting cell suspensions were centrifuged at 1000 rpm (150 × g) for 5 minutes and the supernatant discarded. The final cell pellet was resuspended in a small volume of foetal calf serum to facilitate smearing in the conventional manner on glass microscope slides (Schmid 1976).


METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
Fixed for a minimum of 10 minutes in methanol and allowed to air-dry, rinsed in purified water, stained in acridine orange solution (0.0125 mg/mL using purified water) for 4 minutes. Cells were then washed in purified water for 5 minutes, and rinsed in cold tap water for 2 minutes. Slides were stored at room temperature protected from light until required. Immediately prior to scoring, slides are wet mounted with coverslips using purified water.
Evaluation criteria:
Coded slides were examined by fluorescence microscopy and 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes per animal were examined for the presence of micronuclei. One smear was examined per animal, any remaining smears being held temporarily in reserve in case of technical problems with the first smear.
The proportion of polychromatic erythrocytes was assessed by examination of a total of at least 1000 erythrocytes per animal and the number of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes was recorded.
Statistics:
For the proportion of polychromatic erythrocytes at 24 hours, an asymptotic one-tailed Jonckheere’s test for trend (Jonckheere 1954) with “step-down” was used on Groups 1 to 4 for a decrease from control. If significant, then the analysis was carried out on Groups 1 to 3, then on Groups 1 and 2. Exact one-tailed Wilcoxon pairwise tests (Wilcoxon 1945), for a decrease from control, were also carried out on Group 1 (control) versus Groups 2, 3, 4 and 5.

RESULTS OF RANGE-FINDING STUDY
A preliminary toxicity (range-finding) test was conducted to determine the maximum tolerated dose of the test material. 2 males and 2 females in each group were dosed at 500, 1000, 2000, 1500, and 1750 mg/kg/day, then observed for 48 hours after the first dose. Clinical signs and mortalities were recorded. At the end of the observation period, surviving animals were killed and discarded.
Excessive clinical signs were seen at 2000 mg/kg/day (the standard limit for this test), and so 1750 mg/kg/day was chosen as the highest concentration for the main (micronucleus) test.

RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY
- Induction of micronuclei (for Micronucleus assay):The test substance did not cause any statistically significant increases in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in male animals.
- Ratio of PCE/NCE (for Micronucleus assay):The test substance did cause a statistically significant decrease (p<0.05) in the proportion of polychromatic erythrocytes at 1750 mg/kg/day in male animals only. This decrease is considered as being indicative of toxicity. All individual and group mean values were within the laboratory historical control range.
Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
The test substance is not considered to be genotoxic as no clear statistically significant increases in micronuclei (MPCE) were observed in any treatment groups relative to the control. 
Executive summary:

An In-Vivo Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test was conducted to assess the mutagenic potential of the test substance 1,3-Bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane. The study was conducted according to a number of international test guidelines including OECD test guideline 474 and EC test guideline B12. The study was conducted in compliance with GLP.

A range finding study test was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose, and then the main study was conducted at levels 437.5, 875, and 1750 mg/kg/day. No difference in response was seen between males and females in the range finding test, and so the dose groups consisted of six male mice only. A vehicle control group and positive control group were tested contemporaneously.

No statistically significant increase was seen in the induction of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. A statistically significant decrease was seen in the proportion of polychromatic erythrocytes at 1750 mg/kg/day only, but this observation was believed to be indicative of toxicity.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

A bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test; Kashima Labs, 2006) was conducted to determine the potential for the test substance 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine to cause gene mutation. The test was conucted according to OECD test guideline 471 and official Japanese guidelines, and in compliance with GLP. The test involved exposing strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA98) and one strain of Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA/pKM101) to a series of solutions of the test substance in distilled water, by the preincubation method. A preliminary test was conducted to determine the concentrations to be investigated in the main tests, followed by the main test which was performed in duplicate. In the main test, microbial toxicity (cytotoxicity) was seen for each Salmonella strain at 1250 µg/plate and at 2500 µg/plate for E. coli in the absence of S9 mix (metabolic activation). microbial toxicity was observed for all strains testd at a concentration of1250 µg/plate in the presence of S9 mix. None of the strains tested, either in the presence or the absence of S9 mix / metabolic activation showed a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies relevant to the concurrent negative controls (a two-fold increase was considered significant). The concurrent positive control plates showed an increase in the number of revertant colonies relative to the negative controls, and so the test was shown to be valid. It was concluded that 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine had not shown any mutagenic activity under the test conditions used.  

A bacterial mutation assay was conducted according to EU Method B.13/14 (Mutagenicity - Reverse Mutation Test Using Bacteria). Mutagenicity from exposure to 1,3 -BAC was not found under any of the test conditions.  In a chromosomal aberration study (Kashima labs, 2006), with mammalian cells, 1,3-Cyclohexanedimethanamine was considered to have the potential to induce chromosomal aberrations in CHL/IU cells under the conditions (short-term treatment assay in the absence of S9 mix) employed.  

An In-Vivo Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test (HLS, 2010) was conducted to assess the mutagenic potential of the test substance 1,3-Bis(aminomethyl)cyclohexane. The study was conducted according to a number of international test guidelines including OECD test guideline 474 and EC test guideline B12. The study was conducted in compliance with GLP. A range finding study test was performed to determine the maximum tolerated dose, and then the main study was conducted at levels 437.5, 875, and 1750 mg/kg/day. No difference in response was seen between males and females in the range finding test, and so the dose groups consisted of six male mice only. A vehicle control group and positive control group were tested contemporaneously. No statistically significant increase was seen in the induction of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. A statistically significant decrease was seen in the proportion of polychromatic erythrocytes at 1750 mg/kg/day only, but this observation was believed to be indicative of toxicity.  

Short description of key information:  

- Ames test - no evidence of mutagenic activity in four strains of Salmonella typhimurium or one strain of Escherichia coli, with or without metabolic activation.

- Chromosome aberration test in mammalian cells (Chinese Hamster Lung cells)- potential to cause chromosome aberration in a short-term exposure test without metabolic activation.

- In-vivo mammalian micronucleus assay - no significant increase in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. Significant decrease in proportion of polychromatic erythrocytes seen at highest dose (1750 mg/kg/day) only, believed to be indicative of toxicity.  

Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Two in-vitro studies (Ames test and Chromosomal Aberration test, both conducted by Kashima Labs in 2006) and one in-vivo study (Mouse micronucleus test, HLS 2010) have been conducted. Of these tests, the Ames and Mouse mirconucleus tests were both negative for mutagenic activity, whereas the Chromosomal Aberration test concluded that 1,3 -BAC did present a potential for mutagenicity activity. As the mouse micronucleus test was conducted in-vivo, the results from this test take precedence over the results from the in-vitro tests for the purposes of classification, and as such the overall weight of evidence suggests that 1,3 -BAC does not require classification as a hazard for Germ cell mutagenicity.

Classification does not apply for mutagenic endpoints under the CLP Regulation (EC regulation 1272/2008).
