Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
A number of genotoxicity studies were included as part of NONS registrations. Bacterial reverse mutation assays (Ames tests) have been conducted on 3,3'-dioctadecyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (PU12/A123; EC 406-690-3), 3,3'-dicyclohexyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (R95; EC 406-370-3), N,N''-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)bis[N'-octyl]urea (A124; EC 445-760-8), and a mixture of: 3,3'-dicyclohexyl- 1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea; 3-cyclohexyl-1-(4-(4-(3-octadecylureido)benzyl)phenyl)urea; 3,3'-dioctadecyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (PU10; A002; PU18;EC 406-530-2),. The results from all tests concluded that the substances were not mutagenic in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Additionally, an in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test was also performed on N,N''-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)bis [N'-octyl]urea (A124; EC 445-760-8). The study concluded that no chromosomal abnormalities were observed in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation during the two replicate tests, and therefore the conclusion is that this substance is not a clastogen.
As part of an updated testing program, in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assays (Ames tests) were conducted on:
- Reaction mass of 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate and Amines, soya alkyl (A003; EC 905-837-3)
- Reaction product of MDI, Octadecylamine and Magnesium Hydroxide (PU05; EC 944-730-6)
- Reaction product of MDI and p-toluidine (PU07; EC 926-809-7)
- Reaction product of MDI, Octylamine and Cyclohexylamine (PU08; EC 926-119-6)
- Reaction product of MDI, Octylamine and Hexamethylenediamine (PU09; EC 924-670-7)
- Polyurea, produced by reacting diphenylmethane diisocyanate with octylamine and dodecyl amine (R03; EC 812-490-0)
- Polyurea, produced by reacting diphenylmethane diisocyanate with octyl amine and stearyl amine (R04; EC 812-491-6)
- Reaction product of 4,4'-methylenediphenyl diisocyanate, ethylenediamine and dodecylamine (R05; EC 924-043-8)
Negative results were observed for all substances tested, indicating the substances were not mutagenic in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Under the conditions of the tests, the substances within the MDI category did not demonstrate a mutagenic or clastogenic response, and thus are considered to be non-mutagenic.

There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any one, or all, of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. A fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for TA100, TA98 and WP2uvrA or a three-fold increase for TA1535 and TA1537.
A test item is considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met. - Statistics:

- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Checks: Prior to use, the relevant strains were checked for characteristics (deep rough character, ampicillin resistance, UV light sensitivity and histidine or tryptophan auxotrophy), viability and spontaneous reversion rate and all checks were found to be satisfactory.
- Sterility: The amino acid supplemented top agar and the S9-mix used in both experiments were shown to be sterile. The test item formulation was also shown to be sterile.
- Precipitation: A precipitate of the test item (white and particulate in appearance) was noted at and above 500 g/plate in both the presence and absence of S9-mix. This precipitate did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle control data: The solvent (acetone) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range.
- Concurrent negative control data: Results for the untreated controls (spontaneous mutation rates) and viability were considered to be acceptable.
- Concurrent positive control data: All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation.
- Validity: As the controls were valid, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. - Remarks on result:
- other: all strains/cell types tested
- Conclusions:
- The in vitro gene mutation potential in bacteria of PU05 was determined to be negative.
- Executive summary:
The in vitro gene mutation potential in bacteria of PU05 was tested in an Ames test (OECD 471) and was determined to be negative. Bacterial S. typhimurium and E. coli strains were treated with suspensions of PU05 at eight dose levels in triplicate, both with and without metabolic activation, via plate incorporation and pre-incubation assays. The vehicle, positive and negative controls confirmed the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix.

- Conclusions:
- The study concluded that the test was negative with metabolic activation and negative without metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
The test item was investigated for in vitro genetic toxicity at a concentration range of 12 to 15 μg/mL. The test was conducted with and without metabolic activation following the OECD 473 and EU Method B10 guidelines. The test item is insoluble in the vehicles usually used in this test and no suspension of homogeneous appearance could be obtained, therefore an extract of the product in ethanol was tested. The doses are therefore expressed in μL of ethanol extract per tube (containing 5.5 mL of final treatment volume). The highest dose tested is 15 μL per tube which corresponds to the largest volume used for this vehicle in this type of test in the laboratory.
No dose-dependent anomaly was observed during these two trials. The study concluded that the test item was negative with metabolic activation and negative without metabolic activation.
The study is a GLP compliant, guideline experimental study and is acceptable with restrictions for assessment of this endpoint.

- Checks: Prior to use, the relevant strains were checked for characteristics (deep rough character, ampicillin resistance, UV light sensitivity and histidine or tryptophan auxotrophy), viability and spontaneous reversion rate (all checks were found to be satisfactory).
- Sterility: The amino acid supplemented top agar and the S9-mix used in both experiments were shown to be sterile. The test item formulation was also shown to be sterile.
- Precipitation: A precipitate of the test item (off-white and particulate in appearance) was noted at and above 500 µg/plate (plate incorporation method) and at and above 1500 µg/plate (pre-incubation method) in both the presence and absence of S9-mix. This precipitate did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle control data: The number of revertant counts for the solvent (dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)) control plates were within or close to the normal range. Three revertant colony counts (WP2uvrA untreated control dosed after the first mutation test and TA98 vehicle control dosed in the absence of S9-mix and TA1537 untreated control dosed after the second mutation test) were marginally below the minimum level of the in-house historical untreated/vehicle control minima for the tester strains. These counts were considered acceptable as the other vehicle and untreated control counts were within expected range and the tester strains responded very well with the respective positive controls in both the presence and absence of S9 mix.
- Concurrent negative control data: Results for the untreated controls (spontaneous mutation rates) and viability were considered to be acceptable.
- Concurrent positive control data: All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation.
- Validity: As the controls were valid, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. - Remarks on result:
- other: all strains/cell types tested
- Conclusions:
- The in vitro gene mutation potential in bacteria of A003 was determined to be negative.
- Executive summary:
The in vitro gene mutation potential in bacteria of A003 was tested in an Ames test (OECD 471) and was determined to be negative. Bacterial S. typhimurium and E. coli strains were treated with suspensions of A003 at eight dose levels in triplicate, both with and without metabolic activation, via plate incorporation and pre-incubation assays. The vehicle, positive and negative controls confirmed the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix.

STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle control data: The solvent (dimethyl formamide) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies generally within the normal range. In the second experiment, a single solvent count for Wp2uvrA in the presence of S9 was slightly below the historical range however this was considered acceptable as the average and other individual solvent counts were within the expected range. Two further individual plate counts in the second experiment (TA1535 in the absence of S9 and TA98 in the presence S9) were slightly outside the 95% confidence limits but within the overall expected range, the average count was within the expected ranges, therefore these counts were also considered acceptable.

- Precipitation: A precipitate of the test item (off-white and particulate in appearance) was noted at and above 500 μg/plate in both the presence and absence of S9-mix (plate incorporation method), at and above 150 μg/plate in the absence of S9 and from 500 μg/plate in the presence of S9-mix pre-incubation method). This precipitate did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle control data: The solvent (dimethyl formamide) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range.Results for the untreated controls (spontaneous mutation rates) and viability were considered to be acceptable.
- Concurrent negative control data: Results for the untreated controls (spontaneous mutation rates) and viability were considered to be acceptable.
- Concurrent positive control data: All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation.
- Validity: As the controls were valid, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. - Remarks on result:
- other: all strains/cell types tested
- Conclusions:
- The in vitro gene mutation potential in bacteria of PU09 was determined to be negative.
- Executive summary:
The in vitro gene mutation potential in bacteria of PU09 was tested in an Ames test (OECD 471) and was determined to be negative. Bacterial S. typhimurium and E. coli strains were treated with suspensions of PU09 at eight dose levels in triplicate, both with and without metabolic activation, via plate incorporation and pre-incubation assays. The vehicle, positive and negative controls confirmed the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix.

There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any one, or all, of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. A fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for TA100, TA98 and WP2uvrA or a three-fold increase for TA1535 and TA1537.
A test item is considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met. - Statistics:

- Sterility: The amino acid supplemented top agar and the S9-mix used in both experiments were shown to be sterile. The test item formulation was also shown to be sterile.
- Precipitation: A test item precipitate (crystalline in appearance) was noted in both the presence and absence of S9-mix from 1500 g/plate in Experiment 1 (plate incorporation) and from 500 µg/plate in Experiment 2 (pre-incubation). The precipitate did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.
STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle control data: The solvent (dimethyl formamide) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. Five single counts (WP2uvrA untreated control, TA98 and TA1537, vehicle controls dosed in the presence of S9-mix after the first mutation test and TA98, vehicle control dosed in the presence of S9-mix after the second mutation test) were marginally below/above the minimum/maximum level (95% confidence limit) of the in-house historical untreated/solvent controls for the tester strains. These counts were considered acceptable as the other solvent and untreated control counts were within the expected range and the tester strains responded very well to the respective positive controls in both the presence and absence of S9 mix.
- Concurrent positive control data: All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation.
- Concurrent negative control data: Results for the untreated controls (spontaneous mutation rates) and viability were considered to be acceptable.

Genetic toxicity in vivo
Description of key information
A number of in vivo genotoxicity tests were included as part of NONS registrations. Three in vivo micronucleus clastogenicity studies conducted in mice were undertaken on 3,3'-dioctadecyl-1,1'- methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (PU12/A123; EC 406-690-3), 3,3'-dicyclohexyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (R95; EC 406-370-3), and a mixture of: 3,3'-dicyclohexyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea; 3-cyclohexyl- 1-(4-(4-(3-octadecylureido)benzyl)phenyl)urea; 3,3'-dioctadecyl-1,1'-methylenebis(4,1-phenylene)diurea (PU10; A002; PU18; EC 406-530-2). No adverse effects were observed and no chromosomal abnormalities detected based on either the P/N ratio or micronucleus formation. Hence it was confirmed that no in vivo clastogenicity was evident as a result of treatment with the test substances.
