Sex:
male/female

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
intraperitoneal
Vehicle:
corn oil
Details on exposure:
Groups of 10 mice (5 males and 5 females) were treated daily by intraperitoneal injection on four consecutive days with doses corresponding to 80, 40, 20 and 10% of the LD50 (4 day-values; test substance in corn oil). 24 hours after the last treatment, the animals were sacrificed, and bone marrow cells were obtained from the sternum. Slides were produced using standard methods. 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes were scored per animal for the incidence of micronuclei. Cyclophosphamide (100 mg/kg bw, administered on two days) was used as positive control. Negative controls received corn oil (solvent).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative
Executive summary:

The test substance did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow cells of mice. No details given on results of treated animals, negative and positive controls. However, 6 out of the 21 substances tested in this in vivo micronucleus assay yielded positive results, indicating that the test system was functional.
