NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY:
- Method: Plates were microscopically examined for thinning of background lawn, condition of background lawn was assessed as normal, slightly thin lawn, thin lawn, very thin lawn or lawn absent.
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- The numbers of mutant colonies on each plate were determined using a Sorcerer Colony Counter (Perceptive Instruments) and captured electronically in a validated software system (Ames Study Manager, Perceptive Instruments), the plates were also examined microscopically for precipitates and for microcolony growth (condition of backgroun lawn was assessed as in the toxicity test).
- Quality control of bacterial strains: All bacterial strains were tested for ampicillin resistence, crystal violet and ultraviolett radiation sensitivity and for essential animo acid requirement.
OTHER:
To establish suitable exposure levels for the first mutation test an initial dose-finding test in the presence and absence of S9 mix with a single strain of bacteria, S. typhimurium TA 100 and one plate per exposure level was conducted (Toxicity test). - Evaluation criteria:
- Interpretation of mutagenicity:
- doubling of the mean concurrent vehicle control value for S. typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 98 and for E. coli WP2uvrA, resp. 1.5-fold increase over the control value for S. typhimurium strain TA 100
- if the mean colony count on the vehicle control plates was less than 10, then a minimum count of 20 is (representing a 2-fold increase over 10) is required before a response is registered.
- concentration-related response, at high concentration, this relationship may be reversed
- a response should be reproducible in the independent test
Acceptance criteria:
- each bacterial strain demonstrated typical responses to crystal violet, ampicillin and ultralviolet radiation
- at least 2 of the 3 vehicle control plates were within the historical vehicle control data
- at least 2-fold increases over the mean vehicle control values in at least 2 of the 3 positive control plates for each strain and activation state were obtained (in the case of TA 100, at least 1.5-fold was obtained)
- no toxicity or contamination was observed in at least 4 concentration levels
- in cases where a mutagenic response was observed, no more than one exposure level was discarded below the concentration that gave the highest mean colony number - Statistics:

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: The vehicle control values were within the normal/historical ranges recorded in the testing laboratory and reported in the literature with these strains of S. typhimurium and E. coli (Ames et al, 1975; Gatehouse et al, 1994).
The positive control values were also within the normal/historical ranges for each bacterial strain and activation condition. - Remarks on result:

- Migrated from field 'Test system'.
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
No evidence of mutagenic activity was obtained with any strain in either test. - Executive summary:
Hydrocarbons, C12-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, alkenes was tested for mutagenic activity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA100 and in Escherichia coli WP2uvrA according to OECD guideline 471and the European Commision Annex V Test Method B13 and B14.
The test item was dissolved and diluted in Acetone. Two independent tests were conducted on agar plate in triplicate in the absence and presence of an Aroclor 1254 -induced rat liver S9 preparation and co-factors required for mixed function oxidase activity (S9 mix). The first test was conducted by the direct plate incorporation method, while the second test was conducted by the pre-incubation method. The test item was dosed at concentrations ranging from 17 to 5000 µg/plate in both assays. The highest concentration was the predetermined maximum, as recommended by relevant guidelines, but was in addition both toxic to the bacteria and above the limit of solubility of the test item in the test system.
Concurrent positive controls demonstrated the sensitivity of the assay and the metabolising activity of the S9 mix.
No evidence of mutagenic activity was obtained with any strain in either test. No toxicity to the bacteria was observed in either the absence or the presences of S9 mix. Precipitation of HF-1000 occurred at 500 µg per plate and above in both assays, in both absence and presence of S9 mix.
It was concluded that Hydrocarbons, C12-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, alkenes was not mutagenic in strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli when tested in acetone in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. The test item was tested to the predetermined maximum of 5000 µg per plate, at which concentration toxicity was encountered. In addition, the test item was tested up to and beyond its limits of solubility in the test system. The study was performed in accordance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice.

- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: preliminary range finding test were undertaken prior to the micronucleus test.
Range finding study: 400, 600, 800 and 1000 mg/kg (for each doses 1m+1f)
The rats were observed for clinical signs or motality.
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
Rats were killed by CO2 asphyxiation. One femur of each rat was promptly removed and freed adherent tissue. A small hole was made in the neck of one femur and the bone marrow flushed with.The tubes were centrifuged to pellet the cells. All but a few drops of supernatant fluid were discarded.
Two slides were prepared from each tube per animal. The smears were left to air-dry. They were then fixed in methanol and immeresd in Giemsa stain solution.
METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
One of the two prepared slides was selected for examination. At least 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) per animal were scored for micronuclei and the frequency of micronucleated cells (MN-NCE). - Evaluation criteria:
- The mean micronucleus incidence in vehicle control-dosed and untreated CD rats has, in this laboratory, been determined as 0.04 ± 0.05%: a range of 0.01-0.13% per group of 5-7 rats and 0.02-0.11% per group of 10-12 rats. This frequency is an agreement with published data for miccronucleus tests with CD rats (Tamura et al, 1990; Salmone and Mavourin, 1994). These historical data have been used in the evaluation of the response in this test.
- Statistics:
- No statistical analysis was performed as the levels of MN-PCE induction fell within the determined historical control frequencies.
- Key result
- Sex:
- male/female
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Toxicity:
- yes
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Negative controls validity:
- not examined
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- RESULTS OF RANGE-FINDING STUDY
- Dose range:
200, 400 and 600 mg/kg bw no deaths; 1000 mg/kg two deaths
- Clinical signs of toxicity in test animals:
Range-finding study:Clinical signs affecting the rats behaviour, breathing and posture were observed in the range finding tests. Based on these toxicity observations, the maximum tolerated dose of HF-1000 was judged to be in the region of 400 mg/kg bw.
Test itemgroup: There was no indication of bone marrow toxicity in any of the test item dose groups.
RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY
- Clinical signs of toxicity in test animals:
No animal deaths occured in the main micronucleus test. No animals displayed signs of abnormality.
- Induction of micronuclei:
Positive control: Exposure of rats to the positive control agent, cyclophosphamide, induced large increases in bone marrow micronuclei. The mean MN-PCE frequency for the rats was 2.68%. An evident increase in the number of MN-NCE was also observed.
Test substance: There was no indication that the test substance induced bone marrow micronuclei in the treated rats. The highest MN-PCE frequency recorded for the test item was in the high dose females, where an incidence of 0.03% was observed. - Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
It was conducted that Hydrocarbons, C12-C16, n-alkanes, isoalkanes, alkenes did not induce micronuclei in bone marrow cells when tested to the maximum tolerated dose of 400 mg/kg bw in male and female CD rats using 0h + 24 h intraperitoneal and 48 sampling regimen.
