Examinations

Details of tissue and slide preparation:
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION: femoral bone marrow was collected, bone marrow smears were prepared and stained with May-Grunwald-Giemsa stain

METHOD OF ANALYSIS: The incidence of MPCEs per 10000 PCEs per group (2000 PCEs per each animal) served as parameter of genotoxicity.

Evaluation criteria:
The incidence of MPCEs per 10000 PCEs per group (2000 PCEs per each animal) served as parameter of genotoxicity.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
A single oral gavage of test substance at doses up to 2000 mg/kg bw did not induce a significant increase in the incidence of MPCEs in the bone marrow of male or female ICR mice.
