Examinations

- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:
Dose levels were selected based on the results of a preliminary toxicity in male and female rats (please refer to "Additional information on results"). The highest dose level for the main comet assay was chosen to represent the maximum tolerated dose (MTD), defined as the highest dose that will be tolerated without evidence of study-limiting toxicity, relative to the duration of the study period.
DETAILS OF SINGLE CELL SUSPENSION PREPARATION:
The animals were sacrificed about 3 hours after administration of the second dose. Positive control animals were sacrificed approximately 3 h after a single dosing. Sections of the liver,duodenum and glandular stomach were prepared and placed into ice cold mincing solution; all samples were stored on ice before processing for Comet analysis. Single cell suspensions were prepared using the following tissue specific methods:
Liver
Approximately 0.5 cm³ of liver tissue was cut and washed in fresh complete mincing solution until as much blood was removed as possible. 2 mL of fresh complete mincing solution was added to the liver and then cut into several small pieces. The pieces were transferred to 150 µm bolting cloth held over a falcon tube and the liver was pushed through the cloth. An additional 2 mL of complete mincing solution was added, and any remaining liver pushed through the cloth. The sample was stored on ice until slide preparation.
Duodenum
The duodenum was removed, washed free of waste using complete mincing solution and placed into a falcon tube and covered with approximately 2 mL of mincing solution. The samples were incubated on ice for approximately 30 min (± 10 min). After incubation the tissue was removed and was washed free of waste using complete mincing solution for a second time. The tissue was transferred to a clean Petri dish, 1.5 mL of complete mincing solution was added, and the tissue was minced using a scalpel blade to release the cells. The cells were poured into a clean falcon tube and stored on ice until slide preparation.
Glandular Stomach
The stomach was removed, cut open, washed free from food using mincing solution and incubated in a falcon tube on ice for 30 min (± 10 min). Following incubation, the stomach was removed and surface epithelial was gently scraped using a cell scraper. The layer was discarded, and gastric mucosa was rinsed with fresh mincing solution until all food was removed. 1.5 mL of fresh mincing solution was added to a clean petri dish and the stomach was scraped 4 - 5 times to release the cells. The cells were stored on ice until slide preparation.
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
Comet slides were prepared from all cell suspensions.
Frosted end glass slides were dipped in 1% normal melting point agarose and left to air dry prior to addition of the cell suspension layer.
For each tissue type, an appropriate dilution of the cell suspensions were made and mixed with the appropriate volume of 0.5% low melting point agarose. A 75 µL aliquot of the cell/agar mix was dispensed onto the appropriate pre-dipped slides and cover-slipped. Once the agar had set the cover slips were removed and the slides immersed in chilled lysis solution in a light proof box. These were stored at 2 - 8 ºC overnight prior to electrophoresis.
Electrophoresis
The slides were randomly placed onto a dry, level platform of a horizontal electrophoresis unit containing chilled electrophoresis buffer. The slides from each treatment were spread across the platform to avoid any positional effects. The buffer reservoir of the unit was topped up with electrophoresis buffer until the surfaces of the slides are covered. The slides were left for 20 min to allow the DNA to unwind. After alkali unwinding, the slides were electrophoresed at 18 V with a starting current of approx. 300 mA (between 0.7 to 1.0 V/cm) for 30 min.
The temperature of the electrophoresis solution during unwinding and electrophoresis was maintained at a low temperature, usually 2 – 10 °C. When electrophoresis was completed, the slides were washed on three occasions (separated by 5 min intervals) with neutralisation buffer and stored, refrigerated, in lightproof boxes with moistened tissues (to prevent agar dehydration).
METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
Microscopic Examination
Coded slides were stained with SYBR GOLD® (Life Technologies) and visualised under a fluorescence microscope. The comet images from the microscope were captured via a CCD camera and measured using Perceptive Instruments COMET IVTM image analysis system. Initially the slides were examined for any overt toxicity, e.g. an increase in background debris and/or an increase in the incidence of excessively damaged cells (i.e. hedgehog cells). These cells were excluded from the analysis, along with any cells that had unusual staining artefacts.
50 cells were scored per slide to give a total number of 150 cells per tissue per animal. The extent of DNA migration and hence damage is reflected by the percentage of tail intensity (% TI) defined as the fluorescence detected by image analysis in the tail, which is proportional to the amount of DNA that has moved from the head region into the comet tail.
OTHER:
Histopathology
Sections of the liver, duodenum and glandular stomach were stored in 10% buffered formalin. Sections of the duodenum and glandular stomach from the vehicle control animals and animals administered test item doses of 187.5, 375 and 750 mg/kg bw/day were embedded in paraffin wax, sectioned and stained with haematoxylin and eosin and assessed for signs of cytotoxicity, necrosis and apoptosis.
- Evaluation criteria:
- Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test item is considered to be clearly positive if:
a) At least one of the test doses exhibits a statistically significant increase in % tail intensity compared with the concurrent vehicle control.
b) The increase in % tail intensity is dose-related when evaluated with an appropriate trend test.
c) Any of the results are outside the distribution of the historical vehicle control data.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test item is considered clearly negative if:
a) None of the test concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase in % tail intensity compared with the concurrent vehicle control.
b) There is no concentration-related increase in % tail intensity when evaluated with an appropriate trend test.
c) All results are inside the distribution of the historical vehicle control data.
There is no requirement for verification of a clearly positive or negative response.
In case the response is neither clearly negative nor clearly positive as described above and in order to assist in establishing the biological relevance of a result, the data should be evaluated by expert judgement and/or further investigations. Scoring additional cells (where appropriate) or performing a repeat experiment possibly using modified experimental conditions (e.g. dose spacing, other routes of administration, other sampling times or other tissues) could be useful.
In rare cases, even after further investigations, the data set will preclude making a conclusion of positive or negative results, and will therefore be concluded as equivocal.
To assess the biological relevance of a positive or equivocal result, cytotoxicity at the target tissue should also be discussed. Histopathological information can help in the interpretation of a positive result in the comet assay. Careful interpretation of increased or decreased % tail DNA in the presence of severe cytotoxicity is therefore essential. - Statistics:

- RESULTS OF RANGE-FINDING STUDY
In the preliminary toxicity study, the animals were initially treated at 1000 mg/kg bw/day with 2 doses administered 24 h apart. At 1000 mg/kg bw/day, clinical signs of toxicity in male and female animals included fast breathing, salivation, piloerection, elevated gait and prominent eyes (both). The clinical signs observed were mainly classified as moderate and persisted until the end of the working day. On the basis of this result the maximum tolerated dose had been exceeded, therefore, an additional group of two male and two female animals was administered 500 mg/kg bw/day. At 500 mg/kg bw/day, clinical signs of toxicity in male and female animals included fast breathing, salivation, piloerection, elevated gait and prominent eyes (both). Clinical signs were mainly classified as mild and any moderate signs transitioned to mild after around 15 minutes post-gavage. On the basis of this result the maximum tolerated dose had not been achieved, therefore, an additional group of two male and two female animals was administered 750 mg/kg bw/day. At 750 mg/kg bw/day, clinical signs of toxicity in male and female animals included fast breathing, salivation, pilo erection, elevated gait and prominent eyes (both). Clinical signs were mainly classified as mild and moderate signs were transient in nature.
On the basis of these results the maximum tolerated dose was considered to be 750 mg/kg bw/day. There was not considered to be a substantial difference in toxicity between the sexes, therefore, in line with current guidelines, the comet test was conducted using male animals only.
RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY
Hedgehog cells were excluded from the analysis, along with any cells that had unusual staining artefects.
- Results on tail intensity (% TI):
Vehicle control group:
The vehicle control group mean and median % tail intensity values for the liver, duodenum and glandular stomach of male Crl: Wistar Han rats were within the current vehicle historical control range for the individual tissue (95% confidence limits). For details on historical control data please refer to Tables 5 and 6 under "Any other information on results incl. tables".
Positive control group:
The positive control compound, EMS, produced a significant increase (p < 0.001) in the median % TI when compared to vehicle control values in all tissues analysed and all % TI values were comparable to the positive historical control range. For details on historical control data please refer to Tables 5 and 6 under "Any other information on results incl. tables".
Test item group:
Liver:
There were no statistically significant increases observed in the median % TI in the liver of male rats administered 187.5, 375 or 750 mg/kg bw/day. The group (mean and median) % TI values from all treatment groups were within the current vehicle historical control range (95% confidence limits). For details please refer to Table 2 under "Additional information on results incl. tables".
Duodenum:
There were statistically significant increases observed in the median % TI in the duodenum of male rats administered 187.5 mg/kg bw/day (p<0.05), 375 and 750 mg/kg bw/day (p < 0.001). The group (mean and median) % TI values were outside of the current vehicle historical control range (95% confidence limits). For details please refer to Table 3 under "Additional information on results incl. tables".
Glandular stomach:
There were statistically significant increases observed in the median % TI in the glandular stomach of male rats administered 750 mg/kg bw/day (p < 0.001). The group (mean and median) % TI values were outside of the current vehicle historical control range (95% confidence limits). For the 187.5 and 375 mg/kg bw/day dose groups, no statistically significant increases in the median % TI in the glandular stomach were observed and the group (mean and median) %TI values were within the current vehicle historical control range (95% confidence limits). For details please refer to Table 4 under "Additional information on results incl. tables".
- Results on Hedgehog cells:
In the liver, hedgehog cells were observed after administration of 750 mg/kg bw/day only.
In the duodenum, there was a dose-related increase in the number of hedgehog cells observed at 187.5, 375 or 750 mg/kg bw/day, compared to the concurrent vehicle control (group mean: vehicle control, 187.5, 375 or 750 mg/kg bw/day: 0.5, 14.2, 23.7 and 33.2 respectively).
In the glandular stomach, there was a dose-related increase in the number of hedgehog cells observed after administration of 187.5, 375 or 750 mg/kg bw/day, compared to the concurrent vehicle control (group mean: vehicle control, 187.5, 375 or 750 mg/kg bw/day: 0.0, 0.0, 2.8 and 29.3 respectively).
- Results on histopathology:
There were no test item-related changes in the glandular stomach and the duodenum. The liver was not examined for histopathological changes.
Any other information on results incl. tables
Mortality and clinical signs of toxicity:
No mortalities were observed throughout the duration of the comet assay. Clinical signs of toxicity comprised piloerection in 5/6 animals at 187.5 mg/kg bw/day, in 2/6 animals at 375 mg/kg bw/day and in 6/6 animals at 750 mg/kg bw/day. In addition, fast breathing was observed in 1/6 animals at 750 mg/kg bw/day.
Body weight development:
Marginal body weight loss was noted in animals of the 375 mg/kg bw/day group (-0.4%) and in animals of the 750 mg/kg bw/day group (-1.5%) when compared to the vehicle control animals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Oral administration of the test substance within the present comet assay resulted in an increase in DNA strand breaks in the duodenum and glandular stomach of male Crl:Wistar Han rats. However, due to the confounding presence of hedgehog cells, these increases are considered to be linked with cytotoxicity. There were no treatment-related findings at histopathological examination. Based on the experimental findings, the test item is considered to be equivocal for DNA damage in the duodenum and glandular stomach, whereas it is negative for DNA damage in the liver.
