Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: 0.5% Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and 0.1% Polysorbate 80 used for test substance and negative control. 0.5% Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) alone for positive control.

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

Bone marrow from the shafts of both femurs.

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

Bone marrow from the shafts of both femurs was suspended in 1% sodium citrate solution for hypotonic treatment, kept in a waterbath at 4 to 6°C for 45 min and then centrifuged for 10 min at 200 x g. The pellets were then fixed in methanol-acetic acid 3:1 for a period of 30 min, resuspended, centrifuged for 5 min at 150 x g, and stored in fresh fixative overnight at 4°C. Finally the pellets again were centrifuged for 5 min at 150 x g, and resuspended in some 0.5 ml fixative in order to obtain a more concentrated cell suspension.

These specimens were pipetted onto wet slides and air-dried.

The air-dried slides then were treated with a solution of bisbenzimide (H 33258) for 15 min, rinsed in Mcllvaine-buffer pH 8.0 and irradiated in this buffer at 50°C with UV-light of 350 nm. Following the development of the fluorochrome-UV-light reaction in 60°C 2 x SSC (standard sodium citrate) for 90 min, the slides were stained in 40% Giemsa for 20-40 min, well rinsed, cleared in Xylol and mounted in Eukitt.

Evaluation criteria:

The slides of two female and two male animals each of the treatment groups and of the control groups were examined. Twenty-five differently stained metaphases of the second cell-cycle with BUdR-substitution were analysed per animal for the number of SCE's following specific criteria

Statistics:

The significance of differences of the treatment groups compared to the negative control group was assessed by t-test on the level of one percent.

Results and discussion

Test results

Sex:

male/female

Genotoxicity:

negative

Toxicity:

not examined

Vehicle controls validity:

valid

Negative controls validity:

not examined

Positive controls validity:

valid

Additional information on results:

One male animal of the high-dose group died in the course of the experiment.

In the various dose groups no increase of the number of SCE's was found in comparison with the negative control.

The positive control group showed a highly significant increase of SCE's per cell (9.24) in comparison with the negative control (5.53 SCE's/cell).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
The results obtained indicate that under the given experimental conditions TK 11 339 does not provoke any effect interpretable as being suggestive of a mutagenic property.

Executive summary:

A single does of TK 11 339 (Di-n-octyltindichloride) was administered orally to male ( 22 - 28 g, 4 - 9 week old) and female ( 20 - 29 g, 6 - 10 week old) Chinese hamsters (Cricetulus griseus). The experiments were performed in order to detect a possible mutagenic property of the substance, manifested in somatic cells in vivo in the form of sister chromatid exchanges.

The results obtained indicate that under the given experimental conditions TK 11 339 does not provoke any effect interpretable as being suggestive of a mutagenic property.
