Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:

- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: The highest dose selected for the UDS assay was based on the results of the dose range finding assay and no differences in male and female were observed in toxicity, only males were treated in the UDS assay.
TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields):
- Each rat was anesthetized and a midventral incision was made to expose the liver. The animal were euthanized by exsanguination during the procedure.
- The liver was perfused with 0.5mM ethylene glycol-bis(β-aminoethyl ether) N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic acid (EGTA) solution followed by collagenase solution
- The liver was removed, transected, and shaken in a dilute collagenase solution to release the hepatocytes.
- The cells were pelleted by centrifugation, resuspended in complete Williams' medium E
- Approximately 5 x 105 viable cells were seeded into each of six 35mm tissue culture dishes.
- Plates used for the UDS assay contained 25mm coverslips and preconditioned complete WME
- A minimum of 6 cultures were set up for each rat. The hepatocyte cultures were maintained in a humidified atmosphere of 5±1% CO2 and 35 to 38°C.
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
- 90 to 180 minutes after plating, the cells were washed once with complete WME and refed with serum-free WME containing 10μCi 3H-TdR/mL.
- Four hours later, the radioactive medium was removed, the cultures were washed in serum-free WME containing 0.25 mM thymidine, and then refed with serum-free WME containing 0.25 mM thymidine and incubated for 17-20 hours.
- Seventeen to 20 hours after exposure to thymidine, the coverslips bearing cultures were washed once in serum-free WME. The cells were swelled in 1% sodium citrate solution and the cultures fixed in ethanol-glacial acetic acid fixative (3:1, v/v).
- The coverslips were allowed to air dry for at least 1 hour before mounting cell side up on glass slides.
METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
- All coded slides were read without knowledge of treatment group.
- The slides were viewed microscopically under a 100X oil immersion lens. Prior to scoring, slides were examined for cytotoxicity (irregularly shaped or very darkly stained nuclei , pyknosis,reduced labeling).
- An automated colony counter was interfaced with the microscope so that silver grains within each nuclei and the surrounding cytoplasm could be counted.
- If possible, 50 nuclei were scored from each of three replicate cultures for a total of 150 nuclei from each rat. - Evaluation criteria:
- Criteria for a Valid Test
- Cell Culture Condition: The viability of the vehicle control hepatocytes collected from the perfusion process must be at least 50%.
- Acceptable Controls The average net nuclear labeling in the vehicle control cultures must be <1.00. In addition, less than 10% of the cells should be in repair (containing five or more net nuclear grains).
Assay Evaluation Criteria
- A test article will be judged positive if it induces a dose-related increase in the group average mean net nuclear grain count with one dose group significantly above the negative control.
- A significant increase in the group average of the mean net nuclear grain count in both doses in the absence of a dose response is also considered positive. - Statistics:
- Yes

RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY
- Perfusion
For the early UDS timepoint, the hepatocytes ranged in viability from 52.7% to 86.4% of the total cells collected in the perfusate. The attachment efficiency varied from 18.7% to 103.1%, and the viability of the attached cells was good, ranging from 89.9% to 99.7%.
For the 12- to 16-hour timepoint, the hepatocytes ranged in viability from 29.9% to 93.5% of the total cells collected in the perfusate. The attachment efficiency varied from 0.4% to 152.1%, and the viability of the attached cells was good, ranging from 8.3% to 100.0%.
- Slide Analysis
For the 2- to 4-hour timepoint, the mean net nuclear grain count for the vehicle control animals was 0.82, and that of the treatment groups was 0.53 at 875 mg/kg and 0.48 at 1750 mg/kg. None of the treatment groups yielded a mean net nuclear grain count that
was considered positive for UDS. Thus, no evidence for UDS was obtained at the early timepoint of 2 to 4 hours after treatment of the animals.
For the 12- to 16-hour timepoint, the mean net nuclear grain count for the vehicle control animals was 0.70, and that of the treatment groups was –0.07 at 875 mg/kg and –0.40 at 1750 mg/kg. None of the treatment groups yielded a mean net nuclear grain
count that was considered positive for UDS. Thus, no evidence for UDS was obtained at the timepoint of 12 to 16 hours after treatment of the animals.
The vehicle control results were well within the acceptable criteria for this study.

(*) One of the positive control animals at the 12-16 hour timepoint was considered inacceptable for evaluation due to the availability of a very small number of cells, and the poor morphology of the cells that were available. Evaluation of the remaining two animals in the group is sufficient to meet the requirements of this study
Survival and Clinical Observations
No mortality occurred. With the exception of one high dose animal at the 2-4 hour timepoint observed with salivation, all animals appeared normal immediately after dosing.
Prior to perfusion, all positive control animals and animals treated with 875 mg/kg of test article at the 2-4 hour timepoint were normal. All animals treated with 875 mg/kg of test article at the 12-16 hour timepoint were observed with soft feces. One vehicle control animal was observed with fecal stains, and another with soft feces. One high dose animal at the 2-4 hour timepoint was found to be slightly hypoactive with irregular respiration, piloerection and squinted eyes. All other high dose 2-4 hour timepoint animals were normal. Clinical observations seen in the high dose animals at the 12-16 hour timepoint included soft feces, slighthypoactivityand irregular respiration.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions used 1-naphthol is not considered genotoxic in the in vivo unscheduled DNA synthesis test.
- Executive summary:
In a dose range-finding study, three male and three female rats per dose level were dosed once by oral gavage. The animals were dosed at 1500 or 2000 mg/kg bw and observed for up to 2 days after dosing for toxic signs and/or mortality. Clinical signs included salivation, irregular respiration, hypoactivity, piloerection, hunched posture, red nasal/oral crust, nonformed faeces and/or brown anal-genital stain. One female dosed at 2000 mg/kg bw was found dead one day after dosing. Based on the results of the dose range-finding assay, the test article was administered once in PEG 400 at doses of 875 and 1750 mg/kg bw to groups of three male rats per time-point in the low dose group. Five animals per time-point were treated in the high dose group. All animals from each group were perfused for the collection of hepatocytes and establishment of cultures. With the exception of the positive control at the 12-16 hour time point, cultures from three animals per group were evaluated for UDS (two were evaluated for the 12-16 hour positive control). For the early UDS time point, perfusions were initiated 2.6 to 3.0 hours after dose administration. For the 12- to 16-hour time point, perfusions were initiated 15.9 to 16.4 hours after dose administration. Dimethylnitrosamine was used as positive control.
Results
For the 2-4 hours UDS time-point, the hepatocytes ranged in viability (determined by trypan blue dye exclusion) from 52.7 to 86.4% of the total cells collected in the perfusate. The attachment efficiency varied from 18.7 to 103.1%, and the viability of the attached cells was good, ranging from 89.9% to 99.7%. For the 12- to 16-hour time-point, the hepatocytes ranged in viability from 29.9% to 93.5% of the total cells collected in the perfusate. The attachment efficiency varied from 0.4% to 152.1%, and the viability of the attached cells ranged from 8.3% to 100.0%. For the 2- to 4-hour time point, there were no indications of an increase in the mean net nuclear grain count compared to the control at both dose levels. For the 12- to 16-hour time-point, there were no indications of an increase in the mean net nuclear grain count compared to the control at both dose levels. There were no difference between the control values and the two doses tested in the percentage of cells in repair (cells with ≥ 5 net nuclear grains) for both the 2- to 4-hour and 12- to 16-hour time-point.
Conclusion
Under the test conditions used 1-naphthol is not considered genotoxic in the in vivo unscheduled DNA synthesis test.
