METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 5 h
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 7-9 days
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): 7 days

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): 6-thioguanine
STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): Giemsa

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
preliminary toxicity test: single culture per treatment
mutation assay: duplicate cultures per treatment

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: cloning efficiency: 100 cells; mutation assay: 2000 cells or 10000 cells

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cloning efficiency
Evaluation criteria:
The assay is considered positive in the event a dose-dependent increase in mutation frequency is observed with one or more of th four concentrations tested inducing a mutation frequency which is at least twice that of the solvent control. The assay is considered suspect if there is no dose response but one or more doses induce a mutation frequency which is at least twice that of the solvent control.
The positive control must induce a mutation frequency at least three time that of the solvent control.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test material is considered to be negative in the hgpr test either with or without exogenous metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

Mutagenicity of octadecenylamine (ODA-FG-11 -27 -84) at the hprt locus was investigated in Chinese hamster ovary cells at concentrations of 0.1 to 2.0 nl/ml without S-9 mix and of 5.0 to 10 nl/ml with S-9 mix. No relevant cytotoxicity (decrease in cloning efficiency) was found for the analysed concentrations; without S-9 mix concentrations higher than 2.0 nl/ml led to strong cytotoxicity so that cloning was not successful. In general, there was no increase in mutation frequencies after treatment, with the exception of the highest concentrations of 2.0 nl/ml (without S-9 mix) and 9.0 nl/ml (with S-9 mix) in the first experiment. Since no genetic effects were seen at lower concentrations and the second experiments were clearly negative with and without S-9 mix, these increased mutation frequencies can be interpreted as outliers (due to the low statistical power of this test system). Altogether, the test result is negative.
