Toxicity

The compound was tested over a series of concentrations such that there was either quantitative or qualitative evidence of some

chemically induced physiological effects at the high dose level.The low dose in all cases was below a concentration that demonstrated any toxic effect. The dose range employed for the evaluation of this compound was from 0.1 µg to 500 µg per plate.

Nonactivation Test Results

The results of the tests conducted on the compound in the absence of a metabolic system were all negative.

Activation Test Results

The results of the tests conducted on the compound in the presence of the rat liver activation system were all negative.

Conclusions

The test compound, BI0 -76-178-CP 1612 Thiofide, did not demonstrate mutagenic activity in any of the assays conducted in this evaluation and was considered not mutagenic under these test conditions.
