Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
The samples for micronucleus assay evaluations were prepared using the MicroFlow Plus Kit® (Litron Laboratories) following the manufacturer’s instructions. Briefly, peripheral blood (approximately 120 μL) was collected from the saphenous vein by puncturing the vein with an 18 gauge needle and collecting the blood using a pipette with a tip that was pre-coated in anti-coagulant.
Peripheral blood samples were processed for flow cytometric evaluation of micronucleated reticulocytes (MN-RET).
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
None stated
Evaluation criteria:
None stated
Statistics:
A one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test for significant differences in %MN-RET for female and male rats separately. The Tukey multiple comparison test was used to evaluate the differences between dose groups. The results were considered to be statistically significant at p < 0.05. SPSS® version 16.0 was used for all analyses.

Results and discussion

Test results
Sex:
male/female
Genotoxicity:
negative
Toxicity:
not specified
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
The frequency of micronucleated reticulocytes (%MN-RET) ranged from 0.20 to 0.23% in female rats and 0.21 to 0.27% in male rats treated with 1, 1.5, and 2 g/kg per day of the test substance in neat PEG 200. Treatment with the test substance did not statistically significantly (p = 0.096 and p = 0.616, respectively) increase the frequency of micronucleated reticulocytes (%MN-RET) in the peripheral blood of female or male rats. The positive control significantly increased, relative to the untreated control, the frequency of micronucleated reticulocytes in the peripheral blood of female and male rats (p = 0.005 and p = 0.047, respectively). These results indicate that the test substance is not genotoxic in rat peripheral blood under the test conditions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
The test substance is not genotoxic in rat peripheral blood under the test conditions.
