Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
2-sec-butylphenol did not induce chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow cells in rats.
Executive summary:

The micronucleus test was conducted in accordance with current protocols (OECD TG 474) in male and female rats under GLP.This study was identified as a key study because it was well conducted[MHLW Japan, 2007 (unpublished data)].

2-sec-Butylphenol was administered twice with 24-h intervals by oral gavage to male and female Crj:CD(SD) rats (5 animals/sex/dose) at doses of 0, 75, 150, 300, and 600 mg/kg bw/day.

The frequency of appearance of micronucleated immature erythrocytes (MNPCE) increased significantly in male rats at 600 mg/kg bw/day but this increase was within the range of vehicle control background data in the testing facility. In female rats, there no significant increase in the number of micronucleated cells at any dose. Theproportion of PCE among the total erythrocyte populations was unchanged.It was concluded that 2-sec-butylphenol did not induce chromosomal aberrations in bone marrow cells in rats. The positive control (CP, cyclophosphamide monohydrate) showed expected results.
