Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
femural bone marrow cells
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES:
BRdU pellets implanted subcutaneously in lower abdomen 4 hr prior to treatment
Animals sacrificed 20-22 hr post-treatment.
Colchicine (1 mg/kg i.p.) given 2-4 hr prior to sacrifice.

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
Air-dried preparations of femural bone marrow cells stained with Hoechst 33258/Giemsa and mounted for microscopic examination.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
A minimum of 50 second-division metaphase spreads examined blind under oil immersion and scored for SCEs and chromosome number. The percentage cells in of first, second and third-division metaphase (100 cells) and the mitotic index (500 cells) were also determined.
Evaluation criteria:
Results were considered positive if a statistically significant dose-related increase in SCE was present
Statistics:
Results analysed by ANOVA and the Students Range Test.

Any other information on results incl. tables

Results were positive.

The test substance produced a small but significant dose-dependent increase in mouse bone marrow SCEs compared with the corn oil control.

The positive control group gave the expected results.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): positive
The test substance induced SCE in mouse bone marrow following single i.p. injection.
Executive summary:

The potential of catalytic cracked clarified oil to induce sister chromatid exchanges in mouse bone marrow was investigated in vivo in a GLP-compliant study. Animals received a single i.p. treatment of 0 (corn oil), 0.4, 2.0 or 4.0 g test substance /Kg bw/d 20-22 hr prior to sacrifice, with positive controls given a single i.p. treatment of 0 or 10 mg/Kg cyclophosphamide. Microscopic examination of a minimum of 50 second-division metaphase spreads under oil immersion revealed a significant and dose-related increase in SCEs per metaphase in both sexes; a satisfactory response was obtained in the positive control group.

The results demonstrated that test substance had a clear potential to induce SCEs in femoral bone marrow in vivo.
