METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 24 hours
- Exposure duration: 3 hours
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 7 days
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): not indicated

STAIN: was performed with Giemsa

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: all controls and treatment levels were run in duplicate.

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED:

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cloning efficiency

Evaluation criteria:

The following criteria are used to aid the Study Director to interpret the data, the biological significance of this test system and our historical data being taken into consideration for the final data assessment:
- a test substance is considered as non-mutagenic if it does not induce a mutation frequency that is at least 3 times higher than the mutation frequency of the negative and/or solvent controls;
- a test substance is considered as mutagenic if it induces a 3-fold increase in the mutation frequency when compared to the mutation frequency of the negative and/or solvent controls. In this case, a dose relationship is investigated and considered as significant if p < 0.05.
- the results are considered as ambigous if a large difference is obtained between the two tests.
Acceptance criteria:
The following criteria were considered for acceptability of each test of this study:
- the absolute cloning efficiency of the negative control should not be less than 50 %,
- the mutation frequency of the negative and/or solvent controls should fall within the range of 0 - 20 x 10-6
- the mutation frequency of the positive controls should be higher than the spontaneous one.

Additional information on results:

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: The values of the spontaneous mutation frequencies (negative and solvent controls) with and without S9 mix were in the range of the mean values usually obtained at the laboratory.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: The 6 concentrations used for the cytotoxicity test were: 5000, 3000, 1000, 300, 100 and 30 µg/mL with and without metabolic activation system. The absolute cloning efficiency was nul at 3000 and 5000 µg/mL both with and without S9 mix, and decreased, without S9 mix only, by 90 % at 1000 µg/mL and by 30 % at 300 µg/mL. Based upon these results, the test substance showed some signs of cytotoxicity (decrease in the cloning efficiency and/or dead cells) for the V79 cells at the concentrations > 1000 µg/mL, both with and without S9 mix.
