- Description of test procedure: The preliminary toxicity assay was used to establish the optimal dose levels for the mutagenesis assay. L5178Y cells were exposed to the solvent alone and nine concentrations of test article ranging from 0.54 to 2880 microg/mL in both the absence and presence of S9-activation with a 4 hour exposure. Cell population density was determined 24 and 48 hours after the initial exposure to the test article. The cultures were adjusted to 3x10^5 cells/mL after 24 hours only. Toxicity was measured as suspension growth of the treated cultures relative to the growth of the solvent control cultures after 48 hours.
The mutagenesis assay was used to evaluate the mutagenic potential of the test article (with and without activation with a 4 hour exposure) by exposing L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells to the solvent alone and at least eight concentrations of the test article in duplicate. The positive controls with and without metabolic activation were treated concurrently.
Treatment of target cells: Treatment was carried out in conical tubes by combining 6 x 10^6 L5178Y/TK+/- cells, F0P medium or S9 activation mixture, and 1000 microL dosing solution of test or control article in solvent or solvent alone in a total volume of 10 mL. The positive controls were treated with MMS (at final concentrations in treatment medium of 15 and 20 microg/mL) and 7,12 DMBA (at final concentrations in treatment medium of 2.5 and 4.0 microg/mL). Treatment tubes were gassed with 5±1% CO2 in air, capped tightly, and incubated with mechanical mixing for 4 hours at 37±1°C. The preparation and addition of the test article dosing solutions were carried out under amber lighting and the cells were incubated in the dark during the exposure period. After the treatment period, the cells were washed twice and resuspended in F10P medium, gassed with 5±1% CO2 in air and placed on the roller drum apparatus at 37±1°C.
Expression of the mutant phenotype: For expression of the mutant phenotype, the cultures were counted and adjusted to 3x10^5 cells/mL at approximately 24 and 48 hours after treatment. Cultures with less than 3x10^5 cells/mL were not adjusted. For expression of the TK-/- cells, cells were placed in cloning medium (CM). Two flasks per culture to be cloned were labeled with the test article concentration, activation condition, and either TFT (trifluorothymidine, the selective agent) or VC (viable count). Each flask was prewarmed, filled with CM, and placed in an incubator shaker at 37±1°C until used. The cells were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 10 minutes and the supernatant was decanted. The cells were then diluted in CM to concentrations of 3x10^6 cells/100 mL CM for the TFT flask and 600 cells/100 mL CM for the VC flask. After the dilution, 1.0 mL of stock solution of TFT was added to the TFT flask (final concentration of 3 microg/mL) and both this flask and the VC flask were placed on the shaker for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes, the flasks were removed and the cell suspension was divided equally into each of three appropriately labeled Petri dishes. To accelerate the gelling process, the plates were placed in cold storage (approximately 4°C) for approximately 30 minutes. The plates were then incubated at 37±1°C in a humidified 5±1% CO2 atmosphere for 10 14 days.
Scoring procedures: After incubation, the VC plates were counted for the total number of colonies per plate and the total relative growth determined. The TFT-resistant colonies were counted for each culture with is greater than or equal to 20% total relative growth (including at least one concentration with 10% but is less than or equal to 20% total growth). The diameters of the TFT-resistant colonies for the positive and solvent controls and, in the case of a positive response, the test article-treated cultures were determined over a range of approximately 0.2 to 1.1 mm. - Evaluation criteria:
- The cytotoxic effects of each treatment condition were expressed relative to the solvent-treated control for suspension growth over two days post-treatment and for total growth (suspension growth corrected for plating efficiency at the time of selection). The mutant frequency (number of mutants per 10^6 surviving cells) was determined by dividing the average number of colonies in the three TFT plates by the average number of colonies in the three corresponding VC plates and multiplying by the dilution factor (2x10^-4) then multiplying by 10^6. In evaluation of the data, increases in mutant frequencies that occurred only at highly toxic concentrations (i.e., less than 10% total growth) were not considered biologically relevant. The following criteria are presented as a guide to interpretation of the data: (1) A result was considered positive if a concentration-related increase in mutant frequency was observed and one or more dose levels with 10% or greater total growth exhibited mutant frequencies of greater than or equal to 100 mutants per 10^6 clonable cells over the background level, (2) A result was considered equivocal if the mutant frequency in treated cultures was between 55 and 99 mutants per 10^6 clonable cells over the background level, (3) A result was considered negative if the mutant frequency in treated cultures was fewer than 55 mutants per 10^6 clonable cells over the background level.

- Additional information on results:
- In the preliminary toxicity assay, no visible precipitate was present the maximum concentration of 2880 microg/mL in treatment medium. The osmolality of the solvent control was 281 mmol/kg and the osmolality of the highest soluble concentration, 2880 microg/mL, was 303 mmol/kg. Suspension growth relative to the solvent controls was 5% without activation and 15% with S9 activation at 2880 microg/mL. Based on the results of the toxicity test, the concentrations chosen for the mutagenesis assay ranged from 272 to 2880 microg/mL both with and without metabolic activation.
The first trial of the mutagenesis assay failed due to excessive toxicity. The mutagenesis assay was repeated using concentration from 54 to 2880 microg/mL. No visible precipitate was present at any concentration in treatment medium. Without S9 activation, cultures treated with concentrations of 54, 109, 272, 543, 815 and 1358 microg/mL were cloned and produced a range in suspension growth of 32 to 95%. With S9 activation, cultures treated with concentrations of 272, 543, 815, 1087, 1630 and 2174 microg/mL were cloned and produced a range in suspension growth of 32 to 126%.
Three cloned cultures without S9 activation (one treated with 815 microg/mL and two treated with 1358 microg/mL) and three cloned cultures with S9 activation (one treated with 1630 microg/mL and two treated with 2174 microg/mL) exhibited mutant frequencies greater than or equal to 100 mutants per 10^6 clonable cells over that of the solvent control. Two cloned cultures with S9 activation (one treated with 1087 microg/mL and one treated with 1630 microg/mL) exhibited mutant frequencies between 55 and 99 mutants per 10^6 clonable cells over that of the solvent control. A concentration-related increase in mutant frequency was observed in both the non-activated and S9-activated systems. The total growth ranged from 10 to 129% for the non-activated cultures at concentrations of 54 to 1358 microg/mL and 16 to 135% for the S9-activated cultures at concentrations of 272 to 2174 microg/mL.
The TFT-resistant colonies for the cloned cultures and for the positive and solvent control cultures from both assays were sized according to diameter over a range from approximately 0.2 to 1.1 mm. The data on colony size distributions showed an increase in the frequency of small, medium and large colonies when the treated cultures were compared to the solvent control cultures. An increase in the frequency of small colonies is consistent with damage to multiple loci on chromosome 11 in addition to functional loss of the TK locus. The colony sizing for the MMS positive control yielded the expected increase in small colonies, verifying the adequacy of the methods used to detect small colony mutants. - Remarks on result:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test material was concluded to be positive with and without activation in the L5178Y/TK+/- Mouse Lymphoma Mutagenesis Assay.
- Executive summary:
The mutagenic potential of the test material using a Mouse Lymphoma Mutagenisis Assay, was investigated in accordance with the standardised guidelines, OECD 476, under GLP conditions.
In the preliminary toxicity assay the maximum concentration of the test material in treatment medium was 2880 μg/mL (10 mM). No visible precipitate was present at any concentration in treatment medium. Selection of concentrations for the mutation assay was based on reduction of suspension growth relative to the solvent control. Substantial toxicity, i. e., suspension growth of < 50 % of the solvent control, was observed at > 1630 μg/mL with and without S9 activation.
Based on the results of the preliminary toxicity assat (and an unpreported trial of the mutation assay), the concentrations chosen for treatment of the initial mutagenisis assay ranged from 54 to 2880 μg/mL for both the non-activated and S9-activated cultures. No visible precipitate was present at any concentration in treatment medium. The concentrations chosen for cloning were 54, 109, 272, 543, 815 and 1358 μg/mL without activation and 272, 543, 815, 1087, 1630 and 2174 μg/mL with S9 activation. Three non-activated and three S9 activated cloned cultures exhibited mutant frequencies > 100 mutants per 10^6 clonable cells over that of the solvent control. Two S9 activated cloned cultures exhibited mutant frequencies between 55 and 99 mutants per 10^6 clonable cells over that of the solvent control. There was a concentration related increase in mutant frequency. Toxicity in the cloned cultures, i.e., total growth of < 50% of the solvent control, was observed at concentrations of 1358 μg/mL without activation and > 1630 μg/mL with S9 activation.
The trifluorothymidine-resistant colonies for the cloned cultures and for the positive and solvent control cultures from both assays were sized according to diameter over a range from approximately 0.2 to 1.1 mm. The data on colony size distributions showed an increase of frequency of small, medium and large colonies when the treated cultures were compared to the solvent control cultures. An increase in the frequency of small colonies is consistent with damage to multiple loci on chromosome 11 in additional to the functional loss of the TK locus. The colony sizing for the MMS positive control yielded the expected increase in small colonies, verifying the adequacy of the methods used to detect small colony mutants.
Under the conditions of this study, the test material was concluded to be positive with and without activation in the L5178Y/TK+/- Mouse Lymphoma Mutagenesis Assay.
