- Test substance added in medium/1% DMSO
TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment:
with metabolic actiovation: 3h
without metabolic activation: 3 and 22h
- Harvest time after the end of treatment (sampling/recovery times): 22h
FOR CHROMOSOME ABERRATION AND MICRONUCLEUS:
- Spindle inhibitor (cytogenetic assays):Colcemid® (0.1 μg/mL), 1.5 to 2.5 h
- Methods of slide preparation and staining technique used including the stain used (for cytogenetic assays):
At 22 hours, cells will be collected by centrifugation, resuspended in hypotonic solution and fixed (approximately 3:1 methanol:glacial acetic acid mix) before being stored in the refrigerator. Fixed cells will be washed twice more with fresh fixative prior to slide preparation. The final concentrated cell suspensions will be dropped onto clean, cold wet glass slides, dried prior to staining with DiffQuik solution at room temperature, and coverslipped. At least 2 slides will be prepared for each culture.
- Number of cells spread and analysed per concentration (number of replicate cultures and total number of cells scored):
Cytotoxcity: least 1000 cells from each culture
Chromosome Aberration: least 300 metaphase cells (150 from each culture) or ≥ 50 aberrant cells (≥ 25 from each culture) from each test article concentration or control; Numerical aberrations (endoreduplication and polyploidy) were evaluated from 400 cells from each concentration
(200 from each culture).
- Criteria for scoring chromosome aberrations (selection of analysable cells and aberration identification):
A standard form was used to record chromatid breaks, deletions, exchanges, rings, dicentrics, and other changes in chromosomal morphology. In addition, chromatid or chromosome gaps and uncoiled chromosomes were recorded but not included in the aberrations frequency because they are not considered to represent true breaks.
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index (MI) - Rationale for test conditions:
- according to current OECD guideline and based on results of pretest
- Evaluation criteria:
- Assay Acceptance Criteria
Each treatment condition (e.g., with or without metabolic activation, short or long incubations) was considered independent with regard to assay acceptance and was repeated independently as necessary to satisfy the acceptance criteria.
Acceptable Controls
The positive control results for each treatment condition had to be statistically significant (p ≤ 0.05) when compared with the relevant vehicle controls. In addition, the vehicle and positive control results should be comparable to relevant historical control data.
Criteria for Positive Response
As a general guideline, a test article will be considered positive for inducing chromosomalaberrations if a significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) in the mean percentage of cells with chromosomal aberrations is observed at 1 or more dose levels. If a significant increase is seen at 1 or more dose levels, a dose-response should be observed. A response will be considered statistically significant for dose-response trend in the Cochran-Armitage test if p ≤ 0.05. At least 1 concentration should be associated with an increase that is outside the historical control range of the vehicle control.
Criteria for Negative Response
The test article will be considered negative for inducing chromosomal aberrations if no statistically significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) is observed in the mean percentage of cells with chromosomal aberrations at any of the test concentrations and there is no concentration-related increase when evaluated in the Cochran-Armitage test. All results should be comparable to the historical control range of the vehicle control.
Criteria for Equivocal Response
Cases which do not clearly fit into the positive or negative criteria may be judged equivocal (e.g., a response is statistically significant but not dose dependent). In these cases the Study Director, based on sound scientific judgment, may take additional factors into consideration in evaluating the test results. - Statistics:
- The test article was considered negative for inducing chromosomal aberrations if no statistically significant increase (p ≤ 0.05) is observed in the mean percentage of cells with chromosomal aberrations at any of the test concentrations and there is no concentration-related increase when evaluated in the Cochran-Armitage test. All results should be comparable to the historical control range of the vehicle control.

The test item concentrations tested in the range-finding assay were 1.95, 3.91, 7.81, 15.6, 31.3, 62.5, 125, 250, 500, 1000, and 2000 μg/mL, up to the highest concentration recommended by OECD Guideline No. 473. Precipitates were observed at 500 µg/mL in in the 22-hour treatment without metabolic activation the end of the test article treatment. Changes in the pH (as indicated by color change of the media) were not observed in any treatment at the end of test article treatment.
Based on results of the range-finding assay, the concentrations tested in the aberration assay were at 194, 215, 239, 266, 295, 328, 365, 405, 450, 500 μg/mL for the 3 hour treatment without metabolic activation; at 60.8, 67.6, 75.1, 83.4, 92.7, 103, 114, 127, 141, 174, 215, and 266 μg/mL for the 22 hour treatment without; and at 60.5, 75.1, 103, 114, 127, 141, 157, 174, 194, 215, 239, 266, 295, 328 μg/mL for the 3 hour treatment with metabolic activation. Precipitates were not observed at the end of test article treatment in any treatment condition. Changes in the pH (as indicated by color change of the media) were not observed in any treatment at the end of test article treatment.
Chromosome Aberration Evaluation
The highest concentration chosen for evaluation of chromosome aberrations were from cultures with cytotoxicity at or near the target range of 50% to 60% or the lowest concentration tested at which precipitates were observed. The low and middle concentrations evaluated for chromosome aberrations displayed minimal or intermediate cytotoxicity relative to the respective high concentration.
Data from the vehicle and positive controls were comparable to expected historical control ranges and yielded expected results. These results demonstrated the validity and sensitivity of the test system for detecting chemical clastogens in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- 2,4,7,9-Tetramethyldec-5-yne-4,7-diol, ethoxylated was considered negative for inducing structural aberrations in HPBL with or without metabolic activation under the conditions of this test system. In addition, no increases in numerical aberrations (polyploidy or endoreduplication) were observed in treated cultures
- Executive summary:
2,4,7,9-Tetramethyldec-5-yne-4,7-diol, ethoxylated was evaluated for the potential to induce chromosome aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes during short (3-hour) and long (22-hour) incubations with or without an exogenous metabolic activation system.
The test item was prepared as a stock formulation in DMSO at target concentrations up to 200 mg/mL in the range-finding assay, up to 50.0 mg/ml in definitive Trial 1, and up to 32.8 mg/mL in definitive Trial 2. Human peripheral blood lymphocytes cultures were treated with the test article, positive control, or vehicle control in the presence and absence of phenobarbital/5,6‑benzoflavone-induced rat liver S9 microsomal fraction. The DMSO concentration in the culture medium was 1% v/v. Concentrations tested in the range-finding assay ranged from 1.95 to 2000 µg/mL, up to the highest concentration recommended by current OECD Guideline No. 473. Precipitates were observed at 500 µg/mL in in the 22-hour treatment without metabolic activation the end of the test article treatment. Based on the results of the range-finding assay, concentrations used during the chromosome aberration assay ranged from 194 to 500 µg/mL for the 3-hour treatment without metabolic activation, 60.8 to 266 µg/mL for the 22-hour treatment without metabolic activation, and 60.8 to 328 µg/mL for the 3-hour treatment with metabolic activation.
The concentrations selected for evaluation of chromosome aberrations in the aberration assay were based on cytotoxicity and are as follows (with percent cytotoxicity): a) 3‑hour treatment without metabolic activation, 194 µg/mL (23%), 239 µg/mL (25%), and 365 µg/mL (55%); b) 22‑hour treatment, 67.6 µg/mL (1%), 103 µg/mL (34%), and 215 µg/mL (66%); and c) 3-hour treatment with activation, 239 µg/mL (9%), 266 µg/mL (33%), and 295 µg/mL (48%). These cultures, along with the vehicle and one concentration of positive control for each treatment condition, were analyzed for aberrations. Structural chromosome aberrations were scored for each concentration from a total of 300 metaphase cells or ≥50 aberrant cells. Numerical aberrations were evaluated in 400 metaphase cells per concentration.
No statistically significant differences in the percent of cells with structural chromosome aberrations or the percent of cells with greater than one aberration were noted under any assay condition. In addition, there was no statistically significant test article-related increase in numerical aberrations (polyploidy or endoreduplication) in any treatment compared to the vehicle controls. The data from the vehicle and positive control substances demonstrated the validity and sensitivity of this test system.
The test substance was considered negative for inducing structural aberrations in human peripheral blood lymphocytes with or without metabolic activation under the conditions of this test system. In addition, no statistically significant increases in numerical aberrations (polyploidy or endoreduplication) were observed in treated cultures.
