Species / strain
- Species / strain / cell type:
- Chinese hamster Ovary (CHO)
- Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
- CHO cells were maintained in Ham's F1 medium supplemented with L-glutamine and 5% heat-inactivated and dialyzed fetal bovine serium (F12CM5) under standard conditions (37+/-1°C in a humidified atmosphere of 5+/-1% CO2 in air). Hypoxanthine-free F12CM5 (Hx F12CM5) was used for mutant selection. Medium for selection of mutants also contained 10 µM TG. All media contained antimycotics and antibiotics.
To reduce the frequency of spontaneous HPRT mutations prior to use in an assay, the cells were cleansed in medium supplemented with hypoxanthine, aminoterpin and thymidine (HAT), prior to freezing. Cells used in the mutation assay did not exceed four passages from the frozen stock.

Controls
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- yes
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- benzo(a)pyrene
- ethylmethanesulphonate
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- The assay was conducted by exposing CHO cells to appropriate concentrations of the test articleas well as the concurrent positive and vehicule controls, in the presence and absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system.
- Evaluation criteria:
- The test article was considered to have produced a positive response if it induced a statistically significant and dose-dependant increase in mutant
frequency (p<0.05) representing an increase of >15TG mutant/1000 000 clonable cells over the concurrent vehicule controls.
If only one criterion was met, the result was considered equivocal. If neither criterion is met, the results were considered to be negative. - Statistics:
- Statistical analyses were performed using the method of See and Irr (1981), with a significance established at the 0.05 level.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Definitive mutagenicity assay
The average adjusted relative survivals at concentrations of 100 µg/mL with S9 and 20.0 µg/mL without S9 were 76.9 and 16.2%, respectively. No significant increase in mutant frequency, as compared to the concurrent vehicle controls, were observed at any concentration evaluated with or without S9 (p > 0.05). In contrast, the positive controls induced significant increases in mutant frequency (p < 0.01).
Independent confirmatory assay:
The average adjusted relative survivals at concentrations of 125µg/mL with S9 and 25.0 µg/mL without S9 were 9.7 and 21.9%, respectively. No significant increase in mutant frequency, as compared to the concurrent vehicle controls, were observed at any concentration evaluated with or without S9 (p > 0.05). In contrast, the positive controls induced significant increases in mutant frequency (p < 0.01).
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
The results indicate that phenylcyclohexane was negative in the In vitro Mammialan Cell Forward Gene Mutation (CHO/HPRT) Assay with Duplicate Cultures under the conditions of the test and acording to the criteria of the test protocol. - Executive summary:
This study evaluates the ability of phenylcyclohexane to induce forwards mutation at the HPRT locus of CHO cells in presence and absence of S9 (an exogenous metabolic activation system), and in presence of 6 -TG (6- thioguanine).
Seven or eight dose levels were tested based on the cytotoxicity profile of the test article but only five concentrations were carried through the entire assay and evaluation. All test and control articles and concentrations were evaluated in duplicate cultures. Cells were treated for 5 hours in the presence and absence of S9, by addition of the test and control (Benzo(a)pyrene and ethyl methanesulfate) article formulations to the treatment medium. At the end of the experiment the cells were fixed and counted. Mutant frequency were expressed as the number of TG mutant/1 000 000 clonable cells.
The following evaluation criteria were adopted: If the test article induced an increase of more than 15 TG mutant/ 1 000 000 clonable cells in compare with the vehicle controls, the test article was considered to have produced a positive response.
The results of this experiment showed no significant increase in mutant frequency, as compared to the concurrent vehicule controls at any of the evaluated concentrations with and without S9, whereas the positive control did induce a significant increases in mutant frequency. These results were confirmed in an independent confirmatory assay.
In conclusion, the results indicate that phenylcyclohexane does not induce mutagenicity on CHO/HPRT cells under the applied test conditions.
