Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
cytotoxicity
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Untreated negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:

The test material induced a good range og toxicities for evaluation of the test material (percent relative growths, 65.3% to 2.8%). The toxicities did show some variability between repllicate samples. In the presence of metabolic activation, no indication of mutagenic activity was observed. The average cloning efficiencies for the solvent and untreated negative controls varied from 119.1% without activation to 82.7% with activation which demonstrated very good cloning conditions for the assays. The negative control mutant frequencies were all in the normal range and the positive compounds yielded normal mutant frequencies that were greatly in excess of the background.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

It is concluded in this study that the test material is not a mutagenic agent with or without activation. Classification is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
Executive summary:

The test material was examined for mutagenic activity in the mouse lymphoma forward mutation assay in the absence and presence of a liver S9 fraction for metabolic activation. The test material did not induce significant increases in the mutant frequency at the TK locus in L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells. Treatments up to 37.5 nl/ml without activation and 62.5 nl/ml with activation were assayed and high toxicities were induced without inducing significant increases in the mutant frequency. It is concluded in this study that the test material is not a mutagenic agent with or without activation. Classification is not warranted under the new Regulation (EC) 1272/2008 on classification, labeling, and packaging of substances and mixtures (CLP) or under the Directive 67/518/EEC for dangerous substances and Directive 1999/45/EC for preparations.
