male

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

Controlled environment, with 15 air change/hour, a temperature of 21°C +/-3°C, a relative humidity of 40-70% and a 12 hour light/12 hours dark cycle.
Animals were group housed (5 animals per sex par cage), they had free access to tap-water and to pelleted rodent diet.
Analysis of bedding, paper, diet and water did not reveal any findings that were considered to have affected study integrity.

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:

oral: gavage

Vehicle:

- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: propylene glycol

Details on exposure:

PREPARATION OF DOSING SOLUTIONS:

the formulations (w/w) were prepared within 4 hours prior to dosing.

Duration of treatment / exposure:

DOSE RANGE FINDING STUDY :
seven dose groups, comprising of 1 to 3 male and female animals, received a dose of tetrahydrocyclopenta[c]pyrrole-1,3(2H,3aH)-dione.
the observation period after dosing was 1 to 3 days.

MAIN STUDY :
Since there were no substancial differencies in toxicity between sexes, only male animals were used in the main study.
The dosing volume was 5 ml/kg bodyweight.
Three dose levels used at the first sampling time, which occured 24 h after treatment.
Only one (the highest) at the second sampling time, which occured 48 h after treatment.

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

Bone marrow

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

ISOLATION OF BONE MARROW :

Both femurs of each animals were removed and freed of blood and muscles.
Both ends of the bone were shortened until a small opening to the marrow canal becale visible.
The bone was flushed with approx. 2 ml of fetal calf serum. The cell suspension was collected and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 min.

PREPARATION OF THE SLIDES :
two slides prepared per animal.
slides prepared with ethanol and cleaned.
the preparations were air-dried, fixed for 5 min in 100% methanol and air-dried overnight.

Electronic data capture : REES centron environmental monitoring system version SQL 2.0 program.

Evaluation criteria:

test substance considered as positive in the micronucleus test if it induces a biologically as well as a statistically significant increase in the incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (at any dose or at any sampling time) and the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes are above the historical control data range
