Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information
The variation L173 was tested for genetic toxicity in vitro. The substance lutetium aluminium oxide, cerium and gallium doped, garnet is completely insoluble in water, DMSO, ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofurane or isopropanol. It is not bioavailable for the bacterial cell.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The substance is not capable of show ing mutagenic activity in a GLP-guideline study according to OECD 471 (Ames-test).
Executive summary:

The substance is completely insoluble in water, DMSO, ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofurane or isopropanol. Due to the chemical nature of the substance only acid hydrolysis or similar decomposition methods would result in soluble matter.

Testing of the substance as a suspension is not in line with the guideline. Results produced with suspensions are usually not accepted by authorities.

The substance is not bioavailable for the bacterial cell in the Ames test or other in vitro test methods due to its insolubility. The substance is not capable of interfering with the genome in the bacterial cell. Hence, the Ames-test is negative as a basic principle.

The same applies for potential mutagenic activity under natural conditions.

Testing for genetic toxicity in vitro was aimed for but was technically not possible. REACH Annex XI no. 2: "Testing for a specific endpoint may be omitted, if it is technically not possible to conduct the study as a consequence of the properties of the substance..."

 

Endpoint conclusion
Endpoint conclusion:
no adverse effect observed (negative)

Additional information

Additional information from genetic toxicity in vitro:

The substance is completely insoluble in water, DMSO, ethanol, acetone, tetrahydrofurane or isopropanol. Due the chemical nature of the substance only acid hydrolysis or similar decomposition methods would result in soluble matter.

Testing of the substance as a suspension is not in line with the guideline. Results produced with suspensions are usually not accepted by authorities.

The substance is not bioavailable for the bacterial cell in the Ames test or other in vitro test methods due to its insolubility. The substance is not capable of interfering with the genome in the bacterial cell. Hence, the Ames-test is negative as a basic principle.

The same applies for potential mutagenic activity under natural conditions.

The same profile of genetic toxicity is expected for all variations of the substance lutetium aluminium oxide, cerium and gallium doped, garnet.

Testing for genetic toxicity in vitro was aimed for but was technically not possible. REACH Annex XI no. 2: "Testing for a specific endpoint may be omitted, if it is technically not possible to conduct the study as a consequence of the properties of the substance..."


Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
Available study

Justification for classification or non-classification

Testing for genetic toxicity in vitro was aimed for but was technically not possible. REACH Annex XI no. 2: "Testing for a specific endpoint may be omitted, if it is technically not possible to conduct the study as a consequence of the properties of the substance..."

As discussed, the substance has to be considered as negative as regards genetic toxicity in vitro.

The same profile of genetic toxicity is expected for all variations of the substance lutetium aluminium oxide, cerium and gallium doped, garnet-
