- Executive summary:
In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay (HPRT locus],V79 cells cultured in vitro were exposed to the analogue substance dissolved in cell culture medium (MEM + 0% FBS 4h treatment; MEM + 10% FBS 20h treatment) at concentrations of
- 0.025, 0.05, 0.10, 0.25, 0.50, 1.0, 2.5, 5.0, 10 and 20 µg/mL (without metabolic activation, Experiment I)
- 10, 25, 50, 100, 150, 175, 200, 225, 250 and 275 µg/mL (with metabolic activation, Experiment I)
- 10, 20, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90 and 100 µg/mL (without metabolic activation, Experiment II)
- 30, 60, 140, 220, 240, 250, 260, 270, 280 and 290 µg/mL µg/mL (with metabolic activation, Experiment II).
Analogue substance was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations.
Biologically relevant growth inhibition was observed in experiment I and II with and without metabolic activation. In experiment I without metabolic activation the relative growth was 5.1% for the highest concentration (20 µg/mL) evaluated. The highest biologically relevant concentration evaluated with metabolic activation was 275 µg/mL with a relative growth of 19.5%. In experiment II without metabolic activation the relative growth was 20.1% for the highest concentration (100 µg/mL) evaluated. The highest concentration evaluated with metabolic activation was 290 µg/mL with a relative growth of 10.1%.
In experiment I without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 0.80 was found at a concentration of 0.025 µg/mL with a relative growth of 76.4%.
In experiment I with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 2.60 was found at a concentration of 250 µg/mL with a relative growth of 31.7%.
In experiment II without metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.33 was found at a concentration of 100 µg/mL with a relative growth of 20.1%.
In experiment II with metabolic activation the highest mutation rate (compared to the negative control values) of 1.98 was found at a concentration of 140 µg/mL with a relative growth of 83.1%.The positive controlsdidinduce the appropriate response.
There was no evidence of a concentration related positive response of induced mutant colonies over background.
This study is classified as acceptable. This study satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OPPTS 870.5300, OECD 476 for in vitro mutagenicity (mammalian forward gene mutation) data.

- Additional information on results:
- No precipitation of the test item, evident to the unaided eye, was observed at the end of the incubation period at any concentration, in any experiment, in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism. In both assays, plates treated with the test item presented a dose dependent blue colour of the agar (yellow-green in the presence of the reductive metabolic system) which did not interfere with the scoring of colonies.
- Conclusions:
- The substance was tested for gene mutation in bacteria following OECD 471. Under the experimental conditions the test item does not induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli strains in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism (rat liver or Hamster liver/Prival method) in plate incorporation and pre-incubation method.
- Executive summary:
The test item was examined for the ability to induce gene mutations in tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, as measured by reversion of auxotrophic strains to prototrophy. The five tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA were used. Experiments were performed both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation, using liver S9 fraction from rats pre-treated with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone (standard metabolic activation) in Main Assay I, and liver S9 fraction from uninduced hamsters (reductive metabolic activation system with Prival modification) inMain Assay II. The test item was used as a solution in sterile water for injection. The test item was assayed in the toxicity test at a maximum concentration of 5000 µg/plate and at four lower concentrations spaced at approximately half-log intervals: 1580, 500, 158 and 50.0 µg/plate. No precipitation of the test item was observed at the end of the incubation period at any concentration. Moderate toxicity was observed with all tester strains at the highest dose level both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism.
No relevant increase in revertant numbers was observed with any tester strain at any dose level, in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism.

- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:The selection of the Telon Echtschwarz LD dose was based on a pilot test, in which groups of five animals, including both males and females, were intraperitoneally administered 100 mg/kg, 150 mg/kg, 250 mg/kg and 500 mg/kg Telon Echtschwarz LD. The following symptoms were recorded for up to 48 hours, starting at 100 mg/kg: apathy, black discoloration of hairless parts of skin, staggering gait, sternal recumbency, spasm, difficulty in breathing and eyelids stuck together. In addition, 1 of 5 animals died in the 150 mg/kg group and 5 of 5 animals died in the 250 and 500 mg/kg groups.Based on these results, 150 mg/kg Telon Echtschwarz LD was chosen as MTD for this test.TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields):DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:At least one intact femur was prepared from each sacrificed animal (not pretreated with a spindle inhibitor). A suitable instrument was used to sever the pelvic bones and lower leg. The femur was separated from muscular tissue.The lower-Ieg stump, including the knee and all attached soft parts, was separated in the distal epiphyseal cartilage by a gentle pull at the distal end.The proximal end of the femur was opened at its extreme end with a suitable instrument, e.g. fine scissors, making visible a small opening in the bone-marrow channel. The femur was then completely immersed in the calf serum and pressed against the wall of the tube, to prevent its slipping off.A suitable tube was filled with sufficient fetal calf serum A small amount of serum was drawn from the tube into a suitable syringe with a thin cannula. The cannula was pushed into the open end of the marrow cavity. The femur was then completely immersed in the calf serum and pressed against the wall of the tube, to prevent its slipping off.The contents were then flushed several times and the bone marrow was passed into the serum as a fine suspension.Finally, the flushing might be repeated from the other end, after it had been opened.The tube containing the serum and bone marrow was centrifuged in a suitable centrifuge at approximately 1000 rpm for five minutes. The supernatant was removed with a suitable pipette (e.g. Pasteur pipette), leaving only a small remainder.The sediment was mixed to produce a homogeneous suspension.One drop of the viscou suspension was placed on a well cleaned slide and spread with a suitable object, to allow proper evaluation of the smear.The labeled slides were dried overnight. If fresh smears needed to be stained, they needed to be dried with heat for a short period.The staining of smearsThe smears were stained automatically with an Ames HemaTek Slide Stainer from the Miles Company. The slides were then "destained" with methanol, rinsed with deionized water and left to dry.METHOD OF ANALYSIS:Coded slides were evaluated using a light microscope at a magnification of about 1000. Micronuclei appear as stained chromatin particles in the anucleated erythrocytes. They can be distinguished from artifacts by varying the focus. Normally, 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes were counted per animal. The incidence of cells with micronuclei was established by scanning the slides in a meandering pattern.
- Evaluation criteria:
- A test was considered positive if, at any of the intervals, there was a relevant and significant increase in the number of polychromatic erythrocytes showing micronuclei in comparison to the negative control.A test was considered negative if there was no relevant or significant increase in the rate of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes at any time. A test was also considered negative if there was a significant increase in that rate which, according to the laboratory's experience was within the range of negative controls.In addition, a test was considered equivocal if there was an increase of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes above the range of attached historical negative controls, provided the increase was not significant and the result of the negative control was not closely related to the data of the respective treatment group. In this case, a second test had to be performed at the most sensitive interval.An assay was considered acceptable if the figures of negative and positive controls were within the expected range, in accordance with the laboratory's experience and/or the available literature data.

Additional information
The analogue substance was tested for in vitro mutagenicity (HPRT) with negative results. The trahet substance was tsetd for in vitro bacterial mutagenicity test following OECD 471 that resulted negative.
The negative results of the tests are supported and confirmed in an in vivo micronucleus study in mice using intraperitoneal application, which also produced no indication of genetic damage.
Based on the read across considerations, the test item is not considered to have mutagenic potential
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the results of in vitro and in vivo mutagenic tests, no classification for genotoxicity is warranted under Regulation 1272/2008
