- Method: cloning efficiency
OTHER: The stained colonies with more than 50 cells were counted. In doubt the colony size was checked with a preparation microscope. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is classified as positive if it induces either a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency or a reproducible and positive response at one of the test points.
A test item is classified as mutagenic if it reproducibly induces a mutation frequency that is three times above the spontaneous mutation frequency at least at one of the concentrations in the experiment. - Statistics:
- A linear regression (least squares) was performed to assess a possible dose dependent increase of mutant frequencies. The number of mutant colonies obtained for the groups treated with the test item were compared to the solvent control groups. A trend is judged as significant whenever the p-value (probability value) is below 0.05.

Additional information
Genetic toxicity, in vitro:
To assess the genetic toxicity of the test substance an Ames-test and a chromosomal aberrations assay in V79 cells were performed.
An Ames test with the test substance (purity> 97%) was performed in S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 and E. coli WP2 uvr A in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system (cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction prepared from the livers of male Wistar rats treated with phenobarbital and beta-naphthoflavone; Ciba-Geigy Ltd 1993e). A standard plate test and a preincubation test were performed with up to a top dose of 5000 µg test substance per plate with DMSO as vehicle, respectively. Precipitation of the test substance was found from about 61 μg/plate onward without S9 mix and from about 312 μg/plate onward with S9 mix. No mutagenic effect of the test substance, indicated by an increased mutant frequency was observed in the Salmonella or E. coli strains tested in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. Furthermore, the number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain with and without S9 -mix.
The study was performed according to OECD guideline 471 and under GLP. It is valid without restriction.
The substance was assessed for its potential to induce structural chromosomal aberrations in V79 cells of the Chinese hamster in vitro in two independent GLP compliant experiments according to OECD guideline 473 (CCR 1994).
The chromosomes were prepared 18 h and 28 h after start of treatment with the test article, which was formulated in DMSO. The
treatment interval was 4 h with metabolic activation, 18 h and 28 h without metabolic activation. In each experimental group two
parallel cultures were set up. Per culture 100 metaphases were scored for structural chromosomal aberrations. The following concentrations were evaluated (18 h: 3 concentrations; 28 h; highest evaluable concentration):
18 h: 300; 3000; 5000 ng/ml 28 h: 5000 ng/ml. The highest concentration used in the experiments (5000 ng/ml) was close to the solubility limit in DMSO. A precipitation of the test article in the culture medium was observed at this concentration (microscopically visible). Toxic effects determined in a pre-test on toxicity (qualitative evaluation of cell density and morphology as indicator for toxicity response) and in the cytogenetic experiments (reduction of the mitotic index) could not be observed up to the highest concentration used (5000 ng/ml). In both independent experiments, there were no biologically or statistically relevant increases in cells with structural aberrations after treatment with the test article at both fixation intervals with and without S9 mix. In both experiments, no biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of polyploid metaphases was found after treatment with the test article compared to the frequencies of the controls .
A GLP and OECD guideline 476 compliant study was performed to investigate the potential to induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus in V79 cells of the Chinese hamster (Harlan 2012). The assay was performed in two independent experiments, using two parallel cultures each. The first main experiment was performed with and without liver microsomal activation and a treatment period of 4 hours. The second experiment was performed with a treatment time of 4 hours with and 24 hours without metabolic activation.
The maximum concentration of the pre-experiment was 4000 µg/mL or approximately 10 mM according to the current OECD guideline 476.The test item was suspended in culture medium. The concentration range of the main experiments was limited by precipitation of the test item. No substantial and reproducible dose dependent increase of the mutation frequency was observed up to the maximum concentration with and without metabolic activation. Appropriate reference mutagens (and DMBA), used as positive controls, induced a distinct increase in mutant colonies and thus, showed the sensitivity of the test system and the activity of the metabolic activation system. The substance is therefore considered to be non mutagenic in mammalian cells in vitro.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
arbitrary, all three studies needed for the assessment.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Dangerous Substance Directive (67/548/EEC)
The available studies are considered reliable and suitable for classification purposes under 67/548/EEC. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for mutagenicity under Directive 67/548/EEC, as amended for the 31st time in Directive2009/2/EG.
Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008
The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for mutagenicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the third time in Directive EC 618/2012.
