NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: duplicate cultures
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: other: cell growth - Rationale for test conditions:
- The L5178Y TK+/- mouse lymphoma mutation assay is designed to detect chemically induced gene mutation and/ or clastogenic effects in cells treated in culture by measuring forward mutation. The cells are an established cell line and are exposed to various concentrations of the test substance grown for the expression time and plated into microwells in the presence and absence of TFT to estimate the number of mutant cells per viable cell ( the mutant frequency). Since forward mutation can also be seen in solvent control cultures, the assay is based on the observation of an increased mutant frequency over and above that seen in the solvent control cultures. The cytotoxicity of the test substance is assessed by post treatment cloning efficiency.
Higher concentrations of the test substance produced excessive increases in the osmolality of the treatment medium. These increases in osmolality have been associated with artefactual responses in genotoxicity assays and therefore are considered inappropriate for testing. - Evaluation criteria:
- - Criteria for a positive response: a statistically significant, dose related increase in mutant frequency is required, but not only at concentrations eliciting excessive toxicity. An associated absolute increase in mutant number above the solvent control values is a further requirement. Such a response must be reproducible in an independent experiment for the test substance to be described as positive in this assay.
- Criteria for a negative response: A negative response is obtained when there is no reproducible statistically significant dose related increase in mutant frequency. When reproducible significant increases in mutant frequency are seen only at levels of excessive toxicity, or when such increases are not accompanied by an increase in absolute numbers of mutants over solvent control values, then the effect is considered not to be indicative of a positive response in this assay. - Statistics:
- - If considered necessary, the data are considered by logit regression, using a complimentary log-log link function. The dependent variable is the number of empty wells. This procedure provided maximum likelihood estimates of log mutant frequencies. Variances are inflated by the between duplicate heterogeneity factor.
- Tests for trend in log mutant frequency with actual concentration are obtained separately for each experiment, in the presence and absence of S9-mix. In addition, an overall test for trend combining data across experiments is performed.
- Intergroup comparisons of log mutant frequency comparing each treated group with the solvent control are performed within each experiment. In addition, tests for trend in log mutant frequency with actual concentration are obtained both within each experiment and combined across all experiments.
- All tests are one-sided. Similar analyses are carried out separately for the positive controls. - Key result

- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: test solutions neutralised to ~pH7
- Effects of osmolality: "higher concentrations [than 2200 µg mixed sodium salts/ml] produced excessive increases (up to 70 mM/kg) in the osmolality of the treatment medium. Such increases in osmolality have been associated with artefactual responses in genotoxicity assays ... and these concentrations were therefore considered not to be appropriate for testing."
- Evaporation from medium: no data

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: no data - Conclusions:
- DTPMP (5-7Na) has been tested for mutagenicity to mammalian cells in a valid gene mutation study in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells with and without metabolic activation, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 476 and in compliance with GLP. No increase in the mutant frequency was observed when tested with or without metabolic activation up to limit concentration. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that DTPMP (5-7Na) is negative for mutagenicity in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells under the conditions of this test.

No increases in mutant frequency were seen in any of the
tests and it was not considered necessary to conduct
statistical analysis. All the positive control cultures had
elevated mutant frequencies as expected.
The maximum concentration tested was 2200 µg/ml. Higher
concentrations were claimed to give excessively high
osmolarity, although the values given for 4256 and 4242µg/ml in subsequent tests only resulted in increases to 354
and 334 mOsm/kg respectively. Since no increases in mutant
frequency were seen in the first test at a dose producing 330
mOsm/kg it could be argued that the dose of 4242 could
have been tested. All concentrations below 5000 µg/ml are
<10 mM, the upper limit defined by OECD for this assay. A
toxicity limit was not reached in these tests - top levels
had >75% survival. Therefore the upper limit
defined for this assay was not reached.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- adverse effect observed (positive)
Genetic toxicity in vivo
Description of key information
DTPMP (5-7 Na) salt (EC:701-216-4) was tested in an in vivo mammalian alkaline comet assay, conducted according to OECD TG 489 and in compliance with GLP (Charles River Laboratories, 2022a, reliability 1). The substance was not genotoxic in liver, duodenum and stomach cells when sampled approximately 3-4 hours post dosing, in male rats that were dosed via oral gavage for two consecutive days up to a dose of 2000 mg/kg (the maximum recommended dose in accordance with current regulatory guidelines). No clinical signs of toxicity or mortality were observed in the treated animals.
Endpoint conclusion
- Endpoint conclusion:
- no adverse effect observed (negative)
Additional information
There are no available genetic toxicity data for DTPMP (1-3Na), therefore data for the Category members DTPMP (5-7Na) and DTPMP-H have been used.
See attachment to Section 13 for justification of read-across within DTPMP Category.
DTPMP (5-7Na) has been tested for mutagenicity to bacteria in a valid gene mutation study in bacterial strains Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 and E. coli WP2 uvr A with and without metabolic activation, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP. No dose-dependent increase in the number of revertants was observed in any of the bacterial test strains when tested with or without metabolic activation up to cytotoxic concentration. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that DTPMP (5-7Na) is negative for mutagenicity in bacteria under the conditions of this test (Japan Oilstuff Inspectors Corporation, 2001a, reliability score 1).
DTPMP (5-7Na) has been tested for clastogenicity in a valid in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration study in mammalian cell line CHL/IU with and without metabolic activation, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 473 and in compliance with GLP. A dose-related increase in the number of cells with aberrations was observed after 48 hours treatment, without metabolic activation. A not dose-depended increase in the number of cells with aberrations was observed after 6 or 24 hours treatment, with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that DTPMP (5-7Na) is positive for clastogenicity in vitro under the conditions of this test (Japan Oilstuff Inspectors Corporation, 2001b, reliability score 1).
DTPMP (5-7Na) has been tested for mutagenicity to mammalian cells in a valid gene mutation study in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells with and without metabolic activation, conducted according to OECD Test Guideline 476 and in compliance with GLP. No increase in the mutant frequency was observed when tested with or without metabolic activation up to limit concentration. Appropriate positive and solvent controls were included and gave the expected results. It is concluded that DTPMP (5-7Na) is negative for mutagenicity in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells under the conditions of this test (Central Toxicology Laboratory, 1997, reliability score 2).
An alkaline comet assay that was performed using test substance DTPMP (5-7Na) was read across to DTPMP (1-3Na). DTPMP (5-7 Na) salt (EC:701-216-4) was tested for genotoxicity in the in vivo Alkaline Comet Assay which was in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 489 and in compliance with GLP (Charles River Laboratories, 2022a, reliability 1). DTPMP (5 -7Na) salt was administered twice daily for two consecutive days via oral gavage to male Wistar rats at 500, 1000 and 2000 mg/kg bw/day in milli-Q water. No clinical signs of toxicity were observed. A positive control group was dosed twice by oral gavage with Ethyl Methane Sulfonate (EMS) at 200 mg /kg bw/day in physiological saline. Approximately 3-4 hours after the last dose the animals were sacrificed and single cell suspensions from liver, duodenum and stomach were made followed by Comet slide preparation. The slides were analysed and the Tail Intensity (%) was assessed. No statistically significant increase in the mean Tail Intensity (%) was observed in liver, duodenum and stomach cells of test item treated animals compared to the vehicle (water) treated animals. In the stomach, mean Tail Intensities (%) were observed to be slightly higher than the 95% control limits of the distribution of the historical control data for the vehicle control (up to 12.63% versus 11.2%). However, the increase is minor and the results were within the maximum ranges observed in the historical data. Additionally, results were clearly distinct from the positive control (66.67%) and there was no statistically significant increase observed.
The mean Tail Intensity in liver, duodenum and stomach cells of vehicle-treated rats was 2.59 ± 0.52% (mean ± SD), 8.89 ± 0.68% (mean ± SD) and 11.34 ± 1.69% (mean ± SD) in male animals, respectively, which is within the 95% control limits of the distribution of the historical control data for the vehicle control for liver and duodenum. The mean Tail Intensity in stomach cells of vehicle-treated rats was slightly above the 95% control limits (11.2%). However, this was considered to have no impact, as the increase is minor (0.14%), within the maximum range observed and it is clearly distinct from the positive control (66.67%). The positive control EMS induced a significant increase and showed a mean Tail Intensity of 88.08 ± 2.64% (mean ± SD), 58.69 ± 2.75% (mean ± SD) and 66.67 ± 1.78% (mean ± SD) in male animals in liver, duodenum and stomach cells, respectively. The mean positive control Tail Intensity was within the 95% control limits of the distribution of the historical positive control database. Adequate numbers of cells and doses were analysed and the highest test dose was the maximum dose required by the guideline. Hence, all criteria for an acceptable assay were met. In conclusion, the test is valid and DTPMP (5-7 Na) salt is not genotoxic in the Comet assay in liver, duodenum and stomach cells when sampled approximately 3-4 hours post dosing, of male rats that were dosed via oral gavage for two consecutive days up to a dose of 2000 mg/kg (Charles River Laboratories, 2022, reliability 1).
DTPMP-H has been tested for clastogenicity in a valid in vivo chromosome aberration study in rat bone marrow following gavage with doses up to 1970 mg DTPMP-H/kg bw (Hazleton Laboratories, 1983). The study was conducted according to a protocol similar to OECD Test Guideline 475 with deviations and in compliance with GLP. The deviations included lower number of cells scored for aberrations and mitotic index than that required in the current guideline; the top dose resulted in 25% mortality and loss of body weight; metaphases were analysed from 4-6 animals per group; no evidence was presented for the test substance reaching the bone marrow. In the study the mitotic index was unaffected by the administration of the test substance and there was no evidence of clastogenicity was seen in rat bone marrow following a single oral gavage administration at doses up to the maximum tolerated dose of 1970 mg active acid/kg bw.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the available data for DTPMP-H and DTPMP (5-7Na), no classification for genetic toxicity is required for DTPMP (1-3Na) according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008.
