Genetic toxicity in vivo

Description of key information
Candesartan was evaluated in vivo in the mouse micronucleus test (and in others in vitro test) with a Negative result.
Link to relevant study records
Reference
Endpoint:
genetic toxicity in vivo
Remarks:
Type of genotoxicity: other: mouse micronucleus
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
supporting study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summarising Candesartan properties, was used. However the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used; it covers the most updated literature on the substance.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative
Candesartan was evaluated in vivo in the mouse micronucleus test with negative results.
Executive summary:

Candesartan was evaluated in vivo in the mouse micronucleus test with negative results.

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vivo:

Candesartan was evaluated in vivo e in vitro tests (Chinese hamster lung (CHL) chromosomal aberration assay, Ames Test, mouse lymphoma cell assay and Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) gene mutation assay): in every case, the result was Negative.


Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
In vivo investigation

Justification for classification or non-classification

Considering the results obtained from in vitro e in vivo tests, according to CLP Regulation the substance was not classified for the class Germ cell mutation.
