Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes were counted for each animal. The number of cells with micronuclei was recorded, not the number of individual micronuclei. As a control measure 1000 mature erythrocytes were also counted and examined for micronuclei. In addition, the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was determined. All bone marrow smears for evaluation were coded to ensure that the group which they belong to remainde unknown to the investigator. The number of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei occurring in the 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes counted, and the number of normocytes with micronuclei occurring in the 1000 normocytes counted, were evaluated statistically.
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- Extraction of the bone marrow
In conformity with the test procedure the animals were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation 12, 24 or 48 hours after application. For each animal, about 3 ml foetal bovine serum was poured into a centrifuge tube. Both femora were removed and the bones freed of muscle tissue. The proximal ends of the femora were opened and the bone marrow flushed into the centrifuge tube. A suspension was formed. The mixture was then centrifuged for 5 minutes at approx. 1200 rpm and almost all the supernatant discarded. One drop of the thoroughly mixed sediment was smeared on a cleaned slide, identified by project code and animal number and air-dried for about 12 hours.
Staining procedure
-5 minutes in methanol
-5 minutes in May -Grunwalds solution
-brief rinsing twice in distilled water
- 10 minutes staining in 1 part Giemsa solution to 6 parts buffer solution, PH7.2(Weise)
-rinsing in distilled water
-drying
-coating with Entellan - Evaluation criteria:
- A substance is considered as positive if there is a significant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes for at least one of the time points. A test substance producing no significant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
- Statistics:
- A Wilcoxon-Test(one-sided) was evaluated to check the validity of the study. This is done by comparing the number of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei in the positive control with the negative control. The presupposition to make any of the following comparisons is a difference between the positive control and the negative control(24h). This is tested with a Wilcoxon-Test (two-sided) with 5%-level of significance. Wilcoxon-Test(two-sided) are performed sequentially for the ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes for each measurement group (12, 24, 48h) at a multiple level of significance of 5%. Actual data were also compared with historical controls.
Both biological and statistical significances were considered together in evaluation.

- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- primary test results:
Clinical signs: feces blue colored
Lethality rate: 0 out of 3 males, 0 out of 3 females
Macroscopic findings: no macroscopic findings were observed
main assay:
Mice were treated with 2000 mg test article per kg body weight to study the induction of micronuclei in bone marrow cells.
All animals survived after application of 2000 mg per kg body weight. For only 48 hours blue colored feces was observed as a clinical sign. Only 12 hours after application the dissection of the animals revealed a blue colored gastro-intestinal tract. The bone marrow smears were examined for the occurrence of micronuclei in red blood cells.
The incidence of micronucieated polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes in the dose group of test material was within the normal range of the negative control groups. No statistically significant increase of micronucieated polychromatic erythrocytes has been observed. The number of normochromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei did not differ from the values of the simultaneous control animals for each of the three killing times investigated. The ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to normocytes remained essentially unaffected by the test compound.
Cyclophosphamide (Endoxan®) induced a marked and statistically significant increase in the number of polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei in both males and females indicating the sensitivity of the test system.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
Under the conditions of the present study, the results indicated that test article is not mutagenic in the micronucleus test. - Executive summary:
The study described was performed according to OECD guideline No. 474 with GLP to investigate the clastogenic potential of test article dosed once orally at level of 2000 mg/kg body weight to male and female mice. According to the test procedure the animals were killed 12, 24, or 48 hours after administration. Test article induced in both males and females a marked statistically significant increase in the number of polychromatic cells with micronuclei, indicating the sensitivity of the test system. The ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to normocytes was not changed to a significant extent by the treatment with test article and not different from the control values.
