Additional information

Thiodiglycol did not induce mutations in bacteria or mouse lymphoma cells with or without addition of a metabolic activation system. At high dose levels which resulted in cytotoxic effects, thiodiglycol induced chromosome aberrations in vitro, both in the presence and the absence of a metabolic activation system. No clastogenic activity was detected in the mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay at oral doses up to and including 2000 mg/kg bw. It is therefore concluded that the clastogenic effects seen in vitro are not expressed in vivo. Based on the available genotoxicity data, there is no hint for any carcinogenic potential.
