Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test chemical did not produce genetic effects in a micronucleus assay performed in NMR1 mice and hence is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vivo.

Executive summary:

Gene mutation toxicity was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of the test chemical in vivo. Micronucleus assay was performed using bone marrow smears of male and female NMRI mice. The test chemical was dissolved in olive oil and used at dose levels of 0, 340, 681 or 876 mg/Kg. The chemical was given intraperitoneally during the 24 hrs study period. The mice were killed and bone-marrow smears were prepared 30 hr after treatment. The smears were stained according to the method of Schmid (1976) and were observed for genetic effects in polychromated erthrocytes. As seen by the results, the test chemical did not produce genetic effects in the micronucleus assay performed in NMR1 mice. Hence, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vivo.
