Genotoxicity:

negative

Toxicity:

no effects

Vehicle controls validity:

Positive controls validity:

not specified

Additional information on results:

No increase in micronucleus formation was observed. The positive control substance cyclophosphamide led to an increase in the incidence of micronuclei.
Toxicity: yes. Doses producing toxicity: Mitotic index: 5000 mg/kg; In a preliminary experiment 2 males and 2 females were treated with 5000 mg/kg of the test substance and exhibited a reduction in spontaneous activity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The in vivo genetic toxicity of the test item was assessed in a micronucleus assay. The result was negative for the test item.

Executive summary:

The in vivo genetic toxicity of the test item was assessed in a micronucleus assay. The result was negative for the test item.

In vivo genetic toxicity was assessed in a micronucleus assay following a standard guideline. 15 male and female mice were exposed at a concentration of 5000 mg/kg, with 5 of each sex being sacrificed after 24, 48 and 72 hours. The study was negative, as no increase in micronucleus formation was observed.

In a preliminary experiment, 2 males and 2 females were treated with 5000 mg/kg of the test substance and exhibited a reduction in spontaneous activity.

The study is a GLP compliant, guideline experimental study and is acceptable with restrictions for assessment.
