No correction was made for purity.
The test item was insoluble in sterile distilled water and dimethyl sulphoxide at 50 mg/mL but was fully soluble in dimethyl formamide at the same concentration and acetone at 100 mg/mL in solubility checks performed in-house. Acetone was selected as the vehicle.
The test item was accurately weighed and approximate half-log dilutions prepared in acetone by mixing on a vortex mixer and sonication for 10 mins at 40 °C on the day of each experiment. No correction was made for purity. All formulations were used within four hours of preparation and were assumed to be stable for this period. Analysis for concentration, homogeneity and stability of the test item formulations is not a requirement of the test guidelines and was, therefore, not determined. This is an exception with regard to GLP and has been reflected in the GLP compliance statement. Prior to use, the solvent was dried to remove water using molecular sieves i.e. 2 mm sodium alumino-silicate pellets with a nominal pore diameter of 4 x 10-4 microns. - Species / strain / cell type:

EXPRIMENT 1
Dose selection
- The maximum concentration was 5000 µg/plate (the maximum recommended dose level).
-Eight concentrations of the test item (1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate) were assayed in triplicate against each tester strain, using the direct plate incorporation method.
Without Metabolic Activation
-0.1 mL of the appropriate concentration of test item, solvent vehicle, or appropriate positive control was added to 2 mL of molten trace amino-acid supplemented media containing 0.1 mL of one of the bacterial strain cultures and 0.5 mL of phosphate buffer. These were then mixed and overlayed onto a Vogel-Bonner agar plate.
- Negative (untreated) controls were also performed on the same day as the mutation test. Each concentration of the test item, appropriate positive, vehicle and negative controls, and each bacterial strain, was assayed using triplicate plates.
With Metabolic Activation
The procedure was the same as described above except that following the addition of the test item formulation and bacterial culture, 0.5 mL of S9-mix was added to the molten trace amino-acid supplemented media instead of phosphate buffer.
Incubation and Scoring
All of the plates were incubated at 37 °C+/- 3 °C for approximately 48 hours and scored for the presence of revertant colonies using an automated colony counting system. The plates were viewed microscopically for evidence of thinning (toxicity).
-A number of manual counts were performed due to colonies spreading and bubble interference, disturbing the actual plate count.
EXPERIMENT 2
Dose selection
The dose range used for experiment 2 was determined by the results of experiment 1 and was 5 to 5000 µg/plate.
7 test item dose levels were selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both four non-toxic dose levels and the potential toxic limit of the test item.
Without Metabolic Activation
The procedure was the same as described previously.
With Metabolic Activation
The procedure was the same as described previously.
Incubation and Scoring
All of the plates were incubated at 37 °C +/- 3 °C for approximately 48 hours and scored for the presence of revertant colonies using an automated colony counting system. The plates were viewed microscopically for evidence of thinning (toxicity). Several manual counts were performed for count verification purposes due to toxicity.

Acceptance Criteria
All bacterial strains must have demonstrated the required characteristics as determined by their
respective strain checks according to Ames et al., (1975), Maron and Ames (1983) and Mortelmans and Zeiger (2000).
All tester strain cultures should exhibit a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate in the vehicle and untreated controls (negative controls). Acceptable ranges are presented as follows:
TA1535: 7 to 40
TA100: 60 to 200
TA1537: 2 to 30
TA98: 8 to 60
WP2uvrA: 10 to 60
Diagnostic mutagens (positive control chemicals) must be included to demonstrate both the intrinsic sensitivity of the tester strains to mutagen exposure and the integrity of the S9-mix. All
of the positive control chemicals used in the study should induce marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation.
There should be a minimum of four non-toxic test item dose levels.
There should be no evidence of excessive contamination. - Evaluation criteria:
- There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1 . A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al, 1989).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)).
A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
Although most experiments will give clear positive or negative results, in some instances the data generated will prohibit making a definite judgment about test item activity. Results of this type will be reported as equivocal. - Statistics:

INTRODUCTION
The method was designed to be compatible with the guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing published by the major Japanese Regulatory Authorities including METI, MHLW and MAFF, the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 “Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test”, Method B13/14 of Commission Regulation (EC) number 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and the USA, EPA OCSPP harmonized guideline – Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test.
METHODS
Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with the test item using the Ames plate incorporation method at up to 8 dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range for Experiment 1 was predetermined and was 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate. The experiment was repeated on a separate day using fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test item formulations. The dose range was amended following the results of Experiment 1 and was 5 to 5000 µg/plate.
Seven test item dose levels were selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both a minimum of four non-toxic dose levels and the toxic limit of the test item.
RESULTS
The vehicle (acetone) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate. The test item induced a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of all of the tester strains dosed in the absence of S9-mix, initially from 1500 µg/plate (TA1537) and at 5000 µg/plate(remaining tester strains). In the presence of S9-mix, weakened bacterial background lawns were noted to TA1535, TA98 and TA1537 at 5000 μg/plate. No toxicity was noted to either TA100 or WP2uvrA. Consequently the same maximum dose level (5000 μg/plate) was employed in the second mutation test. A similar toxic response was noted in Experiment 2 with weakened bacterial background lawns noted at 5000 μg/plate to all of the tester strains dosed in the absence of S9-mix. There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of any tester strain dosed in the presence of S9-mix, however small reductions in TA1535 and TA98 revertant colony frequency were noted at the maximum dose level. A light test item film was noted at 5000 μg/plate; this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in experiment 1. Similarly, no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in experiment 2.
CONCLUSION
The test substance was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.

- Preliminary Toxicity Test
The dose range for the Preliminary Toxicity Test was 9.77, 19.5, 39.06, 78.13, 156.25, 312.5, 625, 1250 and 2500 µg/mL.
The maximum dose was the maximum practical dose level. A precipitate of the test item was observed at and above 625 µg/mL in the 4(20)-hour exposure groups and at 2500 µg/mL in the continuous exposure group. A greasy/oily precipitate was also observed at 2500 µg/mL in all exposure groups.
Microscopic assessment of the slides prepared from the exposed cultures showed that metaphase cells were present at up to 625 µg/mL in the 4(20)-hour exposure with and without metabolic activation. The maximum dose with metaphases present in the 24-hour continuous exposure was 312.5 µg/mL.
The selection of the maximum dose level for the Main Experiment was based on the lowest precipitating dose level for the 4-hour exposure groups and was toxicity for the the continuous exposure group.
Main Experiment
- Toxicity was similar to that observed in the Preliminary Toxicity test and that there were metaphases suitable for scoring present up to 640 µg/mL in the 4(20)-hour exposure groups with or without S9, and was up to 240 µg/mL in the 24-hour continuous exposure group.
- No precipitate observed in all exposure groups.
- Haemolysis was observed at and above 640 µg/mL in the 4(20)-hour exposure group without S9, at and above 320 µg/mL in the 4(20)-hour exposure group with S9 and at and above 160 µg/mL in the 24-hour continuous exposure group.
- Sligh dose-related inhibition of mitotic index was observed; in the 4(20)-hour exposure group in the presence of S9, 23% mitotic inhibition was achieved at 640 µg/mL.
- In the 4(20)-hour exposure group in the absence of S9, no dose-related inhibition of mitotic index was observed.
- In the 24-hour exposure group, 61% and 73% mitotic inhibition was achieved at 160 and 240 µg/mL respectively.
- The maximum dose level selected for metaphase analysis was 640 µg/mL for the 4(20)-hour exposure in the absence and presence of S9 and 160 µg/mL in the 24-hour exposure.
- Dose level of 240 µg/mL was not scored due to being considered too toxic for metaphase analysis.
- Where this was not achieved dose levels below and above the optimum toxicity limit were selected.
All of the vehicle control cultures had frequencies of cells with chromosome aberrations within the expected range. The positive control items induced statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with aberrations indicating that the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. The test item did not induce any statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with aberrations, either in the absence or presence of metabolic activation. There was no significant increase in the incidence of polyploidy at any dose level in any of the exposure groups. There was no indication of endoreduplication noted. - Remarks on result:
- other: negative
- Conclusions:
- The test item did not induce a statistically significant increase in the frequency of cells with chromosome aberrations, in either the presence or absence of a liver enzyme metabolizing system. The test item was therefore considered to be non-clastogenic to human lymphocytes in vitro.
- Executive summary:
Introduction
This report describes the results of an in vitro study for the detection of structural chromosomal aberrations in cultured mammalian cells. It supplements microbial systems insofar as it identifies potential mutagens that produce chromosomal aberrations rather than gene mutations (Scott et al., 1990).
Methods
Duplicate cultures of human lymphocytes, treated with the test item, were evaluated for chromosome aberrations at up to four dose levels, together with vehicle and positive controls. In this study, three exposure conditions were investigated; 4 hours exposure in the presence of an induced rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (S9) at a 2% final concentration with cell harvest after 20-hour expression period, 4 hours exposure in the absence of metabolic activation (S9) with a 20-hour expression period and a 24-hour exposure in the absence of metabolic activation.
The dose levels used in the Main Experiment were selected using data from the Cell Growth Inhibition Test (preliminary toxicity test) where the results indicated that the maximum concentration should be limited on precipitate and toxicity. The dose levels selected for the Main Test were as follows.
Group Final concentration of test (µg/mL)
4(20)-hour without S9 0, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280
4(20)-hour with S9 (2%) 0, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280
24-hour without S9 0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 240, 320, 640
Results
All vehicle (acetone) controls had frequencies of cells with aberrations within the range expected for normal human lymphocytes. All the positive control items induced statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with aberrations indicating that the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
The test item did not induce any statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with aberrations either in the absence or presence of metabolic activation.
Conclusion
The test item was considered to be non-clastogenic to human lymphocytes in vitro.

- METHOD OF APPLICATION: Cells were routinely cultured in RPMI 1640 medium with Glutamax-1 and HEPES buffer (20 mM) supplemented with Penicillin (100 units/ml), Streptomycin (100 ~g/ml), Sodium pyruvate (1 mM), Amphotericin B (2.5 ~g/ml) and 10% donor horse serum (giving R10 media).
RPMI 1640 with 20% donor horse serum (R20), 10% donor horse serum (R10), and without serum (R0), are used during the course of the study.
Several days before starting the experiment, an exponentially growing stock culture of cells was set up so as to provide an excess of cells on the morning of the experiment. The cells were counted and processed to give 1 x 10^6 cells/mL in 10 ml aliquots in R10 medium in sterile plastic universals for the 4-hour exposure groups in both absence and presence of metabolic activation, and 0.3 x 10^6 cells/mL in 10 mL cultures were established in 25 cm2 tissue culture flasks for the 24-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation.
To each universal was added 2 mL of S9 mix if required, 0.1 mL of the exposure dilutions, (0.2 mL or 0.15 mL for the positive controls), and sufficient R0 medium to bring the total volume to 20 mL (R10 was used for the 24 hour exposure group).
The cells were exposed to doses of the test material, vehicle and positive control, both with and without metabolic activation. Cultures were maintained at 37 °C in a humidified atmosphere of 5 % CO2 in air.
The treatment regimes were as follows:
DURATION
- Preincubation period: Not applicable.
- Exposure duration: 4 h (Experiment 1 both with and without S9), or 24 h (without S9 Experiment 2).
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 2 days
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): 10~12 days (plate scoring for colony formation)
SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): 5-trifluorothymidine (TFT)
STAIN: MTT vital stain for viable cells
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Duplicate
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: plated 2000 cells/well for mutant frequency; 2 cells/well for viability.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: Relative Suspension Growth values (RSG)
OTHER: The daily cell counts were used to obtain a Relative Suspension Growth (%RSG) value that gives an indication of post treatment toxicity during the expression period as a comparison to the vehicle control, and when combined with the Viability (%V) data a Relative Total Growth (RTG) value. - Evaluation criteria:
- An approach for defining positive and negative responses is recommended to assure that the increased MF is biologically relevant. In place of statistical analysis generally used for other tests, it relies on the use of a predefined induced mutant frequency (i.e. increase in MF above the concurrent control), designated the
Global Evaluation Factor (GEF) of 126 x 10^-6, which is based on the analysis of the distribution of the vehicle control MF data from participating laboratories.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered to be clearly positive if, in any of the experimental conditions examined,
the increase in MF above the concurrent background exceeds the GEF and the increase is concentration related (e.g., using a trend test). The test chemical is
then considered able to induce mutation in this test system.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered to be clearly negative if, in all experimental conditions examined there is no
concentration related response or, if there is an increase in MF, it does not exceed the GEF. The test chemical is then considered unable to induce mutations in
this test system. - Statistics:
- Dose levels that have survival values less than 10% are excluded from any statistical analysis, as any response they give would be considered to have no biological or toxicological relevance.
The experimental data was analysed using a dedicated computer program, Mutant 240C by York Electronic Research, which follows the statistical guidelines recommended by the UKEMS (Robinson W D et al., 1989). The statistical package used indicates the presence of statistically significant increases and linear-trend events. - Key result

- Additional information on results:
- There was evidence of marked toxicity following exposure to the test item in all three of the exposure groups, as indicated by the %RSG and RTG values (Tables 3, 6, and 9). There was also evidence of modest reductions in viability (%V) in both of the 4-hour exposure groups, indicating that residual toxicity had occurred (Tables 3 and 6, attached). Based on the RTG and %RSG values, it was considered that optimum levels of toxicity were achieved in the 4-hour
exposure group in the presence of metabolic activation, and the 24-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation (Tables 6 and 9, attached). Whilst optimum levels of toxicity were not achieved in the 4-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation due to the very steep toxicity curve of the test item, despite using a very narrow dose range, a dose level that marginally exceeded the upper limit of toxicity based on %RSG was plated as sufficient cells were available at the time of plating. The excessive toxicity observed at and above
625 μg/mL in the 4-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation, at 750 μg/mL in the 4-hour exposure group in the presence of metabolic activation, and at 100 μg/mL in the 24-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation, resulted in these dose levels not being plated for viability or 5-TFT resistance. The toxicity observed at 500 μg/mL in the 4-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation, and at 625 μg/ml in the presence of metabolic activation, exceeded the upper acceptable limit of 90%, therefore, these doses were excluded from analysis. Acceptable levels of toxicity were seen with the positive control substances (Tables 3, 6, and 9, attached).
The test item did not induce any toxicologically significant or dose related (linear-trend) increases in the mutant frequency x 10-6 per viable cell at any of the dose levels, including the dose levels that achieved optimum levels of toxicity in the 4-hour exposure group in the presence of metabolic activation and the 24-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation (Tables 6 and 9). The test item also did not induce any toxicologically significant increase in mutant frequency at the dose level in the 4-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation that marginally exceeded the upper limit of acceptable toxicity (Table 3, attached). It should also be noted that the viability plates at this dose level in the 4-hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation had acceptable values indicating that the cells had recovered from the initial post-treatment toxicity. The test item was therefore considered to have been adequately tested in all three of the exposure groups. Precipitate of the test item was not observed at any of the dose levels at the end of the exposure period. - Remarks on result:
- other:
- Remarks:
- Non-mutagenic
- Conclusions:
- The test item did not induce any increases in the mutant frequency at the TK +/- locus in L5178Y cells that exceeded the GEF, consequently it is considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this assay.
- Executive summary:
INTRODUCTION
The study was conducted according to a method that was designed to assess the potential mutagenicity of the test item on the thymidine kinase, TK +/-, locus of the L5178Y mouse lymphoma cell line. The method was designed to be compatible with the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No 490 "In VitroMammalian Cell Gene Mutation Tests Using the Thymidine Kinase Gene" adopted 28 July 2015, Method B17 of Commission Regulation (EC) No. 440/2008 of 30 May 2008, the US EPA OPPTS 870.5300 Guideline, and in alignment with the Japanese MITI/MHW guidelines for testing of new chemical substances.
METHODS
One main Mutagenicity Test was performed. In this main test, L5178Y TK +/- 3.7.2c mouse lymphoma cells (heterozygous at the thymidine kinase locus) were treated with the test item at eight dose levels in duplicate, together with vehicle (acetone), and positive controls using 4 hour exposure groups both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation (2% S9), and a 24 hour exposure group in the absence of metabolic activation. The dose range of test item used in the main test was selected following the results of a preliminary toxicity test. The dose levels plated for viability and expression of mutant
colonies were as follows:
Mutagenicity Test
Concentration of test item (µg/mL) plated for mutant frequency for the 4-hour without S9 group: 23.44, 46.88, 93.75, 187.5, 375 and 500.
Concentration of test item (µg/mL) plated for mutant frequency for the 4-hour with S9 (2%) group: 46.88, 93.75, 187.5, 375, 500, 625.
Concentration of test item (µg/mL) plated for mutant frequency for the 24-hour without S9 group: 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80.
RESULTS
The maximum dose level used in the Mutagenicity Test was limited by test item-induced toxicity. Precipitate of the test item was not observed at any of the dose levels at the end of the exposure period in the Mutagenicity Test. The vehicle control cultures had mutant frequency values that were acceptable for the L5178Y cell line at the TK +/- locus. The positive control substances induced marked increases in the mutant frequency, sufficient to indicate the satisfactory performance of the test and of the activity of the metabolizing system.
The test item did not induce any toxicologically significant increases in the mutant frequency at any of the dose levels in the main test, in any of the three exposure groups.
CONCLUSION
The test item did not induce any increases in the mutant frequency at the TK +/- locus in L5178Y cells that exceeded the GEF, consequently it is considered to be non-mutagenic in this assay.
Referenceopen allclose all
The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate.The test item induced a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of all of the tester strains dosed in the absence of S9-mix, initially from 1500 μg/plate (TA1537) and at 5000 μg/plate (remaining tester strains). In the presence of S9-mix, weakened bacterial background lawns were noted to TA1535, TA98 and TA1537 at 5000 μg/plate. No toxicity was noted to either TA100 or WP2uvrA. Consequently the same maximum dose level (5000 μg/plate) was employed in the second mutation test. A similar toxic response was noted in Experiment 2 with weakened bacterial background lawns noted at 5000 μg/plate to all of the tester strains dosed in the absence of S9-mix.
There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in experiment 1. Similarly, no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in experiment 2.
The vehicle (acetone) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.

INTRODUCTION
The method was designed to be compatible with the guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing published by the major Japanese Regulatory Authorities including METI, MHLW and MAFF, the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 “Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test”, Method B13/14 of Commission Regulation (EC) number 440/2008 of 30 May 2008 and the USA, EPA OCSPP harmonized guideline – Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test.
METHODS
Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with the test item using the Ames plate incorporation method at up to 8 dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range for Experiment 1 was predetermined and was 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate. The experiment was repeated on a separate day using fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test item formulations. The dose range was amended following the results of Experiment 1 and was 5 to 5000 µg/plate.
Seven test item dose levels were selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both a minimum of four non-toxic dose levels and the toxic limit of the test item.
RESULTS
The vehicle (acetone) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate. The test item induced a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of all of the tester strains dosed in the absence of S9-mix, initially from 1500 µg/plate (TA1537) and at 5000 µg/plate(remaining tester strains). In the presence of S9-mix, weakened bacterial background lawns were noted to TA1535, TA98 and TA1537 at 5000 μg/plate. No toxicity was noted to either TA100 or WP2uvrA. Consequently the same maximum dose level (5000 μg/plate) was employed in the second mutation test. A similar toxic response was noted in Experiment 2 with weakened bacterial background lawns noted at 5000 μg/plate to all of the tester strains dosed in the absence of S9-mix. There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of any tester strain dosed in the presence of S9-mix, however small reductions in TA1535 and TA98 revertant colony frequency were noted at the maximum dose level. A light test item film was noted at 5000 μg/plate; this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in experiment 1. Similarly, no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9-mix) in experiment 2.
CONCLUSION
The test substance was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
IN VITRO MAMMALIAN CELL CHROMOSOME ABERRATION TEST
INTRODUCTION
This report describes the results of an in vitro study for the detection of structural chromosomal aberrations in cultured mammalian cells. It supplements microbial systems insofar as it identifies potential mutagens that produce chromosomal aberrations rather than gene mutations (Scott et al., 1990).
METHODS
Duplicate cultures of human lymphocytes, treated with the test item, were evaluated for chromosome aberrations at up to four dose levels, together with vehicle and positive controls. In this study, three exposure conditions were investigated; 4 hours exposure in the presence of an induced rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (S9) at a 2% final concentration with cell harvest after 20-hour expression period, 4 hours exposure in the absence of metabolic activation (S9) with a 20-hour expression period and a 24-hour exposure in the absence of metabolic activation.
The dose levels used in the Main Experiment were selected using data from the Cell Growth Inhibition Test (preliminary toxicity test) where the results indicated that the maximum concentration should be limited on precipitate and toxicity. The dose levels selected for the Main Test were as follows.
Group Final concentration of test (µg/mL)
4(20)-hour without S9 0, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280
4(20)-hour with S9 (2%) 0, 40, 80, 160, 320, 640, 1280
24-hour without S9 0, 20, 40, 80, 160, 240, 320, 640
RESULTS
All vehicle (acetone) controls had frequencies of cells with aberrations within the range expected for normal human lymphocytes. All the positive control items induced statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with aberrations indicating that the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
The test item did not induce any statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with aberrations either in the absence or presence of metabolic activation.
CONCLUSION
The test item was considered to be non-clastogenic to human lymphocytes in vitro.

The test item did not induce any toxicologically significant increases in the mutant frequency at any of the dose levels in the main test, in any of the three exposure groups.
CONCLUSION
The test item did not induce any increases in the mutant frequency at the TK +/- locus in L5178Y cells that exceeded the GEF, consequently it is considered to be non-mutagenic in this assay.
