Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- - For each animal, the micronuclei were counted in 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes.
- Polychromatic (PCE) and normochromatic (NCE) erythrocyte ratio was established by scoring a total of 1000 erythrocytes per animal. - Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:
- Dose levels were selected on the basis of results of preliminary toxicity assay in which the test item was administered orally to Sprague-Dawley rats at the dose of 2000 mg/kg bw/day for two consecutive days at 24 h interval.
TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES:
- Two consecutive treatments at 24 h interval followed by sacrificing the animals 24 h after second treatment (vehicle control and treatment groups)
- One day treatment followed by sacrificing the animals 24 h after administration (positive control group)
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
- At the sampling time, all the animals were sacrificed by CO2 asphyxiation.
- Femurs of the rats were removed and the bone marrow was extracted with foetal calf serum.
- After centrifugation, the supernatant was removed and a drop of the cell suspension was placed and spread on a slide.
- Slides were air-dried and stained with May Grunwald Giemsa. - Evaluation criteria:
- - For a substance to be considered negative in the micronucleus test, there must be no statistically significant increase in the number of micronuclei observed compared with negative control animals.
- A test substance is considered positive in the micronucleus test if it induces either a dose related increase in the number of micronucleated PCE or a statistically significant positive response for at least one of the test points. However, both biological and statistical significance should be considered together. - Statistics:
- - Statistical comparison for the polychromatic/normochromatic erythrocyte ratio and for the weight homogeneity within the sex of each group was performed using the Student's t test.
- Statistical analysis was performed for micronucleus number using a non-parametric test, the Mann Whitney U rank test.
- Statistical analysis for micronucleus number was conducted, males and females separately and two sexes combined (if using the same doses for the two sexes) in case of homogeneity in the results within the sex of each group.

- RESULTS OF PRELIMINARY TOXICITY ASSAY
- Dose: 2000 mg/kg bw/day for two consecutive days at 24 h interval.
- Solubility: Test item was dissolved at the maximum concentration of 200 mg/mL.
- Mortality: No mortality was observed.
- Clinical signs: Clinical signs limited to soft faeces were observed in all the 6 animals treated at 2000 mg/kg bw/day, between 6 and 24 h after the first treatment and up to the end of the observation period, i.e. 24 h after the second treatment.
RESULTS OF MAIN ASSAY
Induction of micronuclei (for Micronucleus assay):
- Assay 1: No statistically significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was found in the animals treated at 2000 mg/kg bw/day with Chimexane HB, in males and females separately, or in both sexes combined when compared with the respective control groups.
- Assay 2: No statistically significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was found in the animals treated at 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw/day with Chimexane HB, in males and females separately. As heterogeneity in the spontaneous micronuclei frequency was observed between males and females, no statistical assessment of both sexes combined could be performed.
- See table 7.6.2/1
Ratio of PCE/NCE (for Micronucleus assay):
- Statistically significant decrease in the ratio PCE to NCE was noted in the males treated at 2000 (assay 1) and 1500 mg/kg bw/day (assay 2) and in animals (both sexes combined) treated at 1500 mg/kg bw/day (assay 2) when compared to the concurrent negative control groups. Slight decrease (non statistically significant) in the PCE/NCE ratio were observed animals treated at 1000 mg/kg bw/day (assay 2).
- Body weight means of the treated animals were not significantly different from the controls.
HISTORICAL DATA
- Results were compared with the historical data (January 2003 - November 2005) of the laboratory.
OTHERS:
Determination of plasma levels:
- Results shown that animals treated orally at 2000-1500 and 1000 mg/kg bw were clearly exposed to Chimexane HB. Indeed, 1 h after treatment, the mean plasma concentrations were of 2644 – 2197 and 3315 ng/mL in the males, respectively and of 3347 – 2656 and 2145 ng/mL in the females, respectively. 4 h after treatment, they were of 2291 – 1853 and 2579 ng/mL in the males at the doses of 2000-1500 and 1000 mg/kg bw, respectively and of 2819 – 2640 and 2070 ng/mL, respectively, in the females.
- These data demonstrate a satisfactory systemic exposure at the doses actually tested in the current study.
- All plasmas from animals of control groups were below the limit of quantification (LOQ = 5 mg/mL) as expected.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
Under the test conditions, Chimexane HB was not clastogenic in bone marrow cells of rats. - Executive summary:
In an in vivo bone marrow micronucleus assay performed according to OECD Guideline 474 and in compliance with GLP, Sprague-Dawley rats were orally administered with Chimexane HB in distilled water at the following dose levels:
Assay 1:
- Treatment group (5/sex/dose): 2000 mg/kg bw/day, 2 consecutive treatments at 24 h interval
- Treatment group for systemic exposure (3/sex/dose): 2000 mg/kg bw, single treatment, blood sample collection 1 and 4 h after treatment.
- Negative control group for systemic exposure (3/sex/dose): Vehicle (distilled water)
Assay 2:
- Treatment group (5/sex/dose): 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw/day, 2 consecutive treatments at 24 h interval
- Treatment group for systemic exposure (3/sex/dose): 1000 and 1500 mg/kg bw, single treatment, blood sample collection 1 and 4 h after treatment.
The vehicle and positive control groups (10/sex and 5/sex in assay 1 and 2, respectively) received distilled water and cyclophosphamide at 25 mg/kg bw, respectively. Bone marrow smears were obtained from treatment, vehicle and positive control groups 24 h after last administration. Polychromatic (PCE) and normochromatic (NCE) erythrocyte ratio was established by scoring a total of 1000 erythrocytes. For each animal, the micronuclei were counted in 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes. Two additional animals of each sex for the group treated at 1000, 1500 and 2000 mg/kg bw/day, in parallel, but were sacrificed and examined only in case of mortality observed in the first five treated animals. A preliminary toxicity study (3/sex/dose) was conducted before the main study at the dose of 2000 mg/kg bw/day for two consecutive days.
Bioanalytical data demonstrated a satisfactory systemic exposure of the test item at the doses tested. No clinical signs and no mortality were observed. Statistically significant decrease in the ratio of PCE to NCE was noted in the males treated at 1500 and 2000 mg/kg bw/day and in animals (both sexes combined) treated at 1500 mg/kg bw/day when compared to the concurrent negative control groups. Slight decrease (non statistically significant) in the PCE/NCE ratio were observed animals treated at 1000 mg/kg bw/day. No statistically significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was found in the animals treated up to 2000 mg/kg bw/day in either males or females. Positive control induced a statistically significant increase in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes indicating the validity of the study.
