Executive summary:

MTDID 5789 (Lot #2) was tested in the Micronucleus Test in mice, to evaluate its genotoxic effect on erythrocytes in bone marrow. The study procedures described in this report were based on the most recent OECD and EEC guidelines. Batch Lot #2 of MTDID 5789 was a clear colourless liquid with a purity of 99.91%. The test substance was emulsified in 1% (w/v) carboxymethylcellulose. Five male animals were used in each of the four treatment groups, including negative and positive controls. All groups received a single intraperitoneal injection. The negative and positive control groups were treated with vehicle and 50 mg/kg body weight of cyclophosphamide (CP), respectively. Animals were dosed with MTDID 5789 at 2000 (two groups) mg/kg body weight. All animals showed no abnormalities after dosing. Bone marrow of the groups treated with MTDID 5789 was sampled 24 or 48 hours after dosing. Bone marrow of the negative and positive control groups was harvested 24 and 48 hours after dosing, respectively. No increase in the mean frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was observed in the polychromatic erythrocytes of the bone marrow of animals treated with MTDID 5789. The incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in the bone marrow of all negative control animals was within the historical solvent control data range. Cyclophosphamide, the positive control substance, induced a statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. Hence, both criteria for an acceptable assay were met. The groups that were treated with MTDID 5789 showed no decrease in the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes compared to the vehicle controls, which reflects a lack of toxic effects of this compound on the erythropoiesis. The groups that were treated with cyclophosphamide showed an expected decrease in the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes compared to the vehicle controls, demonstrating toxic effects on erythropoiesis. It is concluded that MTDID 5789 is not clastogenic in the micronucleus test under the experimental conditions described in this report.
