Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
bone marrow from femurs
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
Slides were fixed in methanol and colored with may-Grünwald-Giemsa.
Evaluation criteria:
1000 polychromatic erythrocytes were scored for the presence of micronuclei.

The mean incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes must not exceed 5/1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (0.5%) in the vehicle control.
The incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in the positive control group must be significantly increased relative to the vehicle control group (p<0.05).

Additional information on results:
- Mortality: 3/20 males and 1/20 females treated at 220 mg/kg died on the day of exposure.
- Clinical signs: noted on the days following dose administration, included lethargy in male and female mice at 55, 110, and 220 mg/kg.
- Reductions up to 19 % in the ration of polychromatic erythrocytes per total erythrocytes were observed. The number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes per 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes in the dibutylamine treated grouop was not statistically increased relative to the respective negative controls.
Cyclophosphamide induced a significant increase in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in both male and female mice (p<0.05).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
A GLP-compliant in vivo Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test was performed according to OECD TG 474 in male/female ICR mice. The test substance was found to be negative regarding the endpoint genotoxicity.
Executive summary:

An in vivo Mammalian Erythrocyte Micronucleus Test was performed according to OECD TG 474 (GLP-compliant) in male/female ICR mice. Treatment with the test substance was once orally via gavage at constant volume of 20 ml/kg. 5 mice per group were sacrified at 24, 48 and 72 hours (All 5 mice treated with Cyclophosphamide were sacrified at 24h). Results show that 3/20 males and 1/20 females treated at 220 mg/kg died on the day of exposure. Clinical signs on the days following dose administration, included lethargy in male and female mice at 55, 110, and 220 mg/kg were noted. Reductions up to 19 % in the ration of polychromatic erythrocytes per total erythrocytes were observed. The number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes per 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes in the test substance treated group was not statistically increased relative to the respective negative controls. Cyclophosphamide induced a significant increase in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in both male and female mice (p<0.05).

However, the test substance was found to be negative regarding the endpoint genotoxicity.
