DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
A reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants (below the induction factor of 0.5) or a clearing of the bacterial background lawn.
- Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100, andTA 102) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent control is observed.
A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration.
An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.
A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant. - Statistics:
- According to the OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory.

In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutage¬nicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used. - Executive summary:
This study was performed to investigate the potential of Alkoxypropandiamine and Alkoxypropandiamineacetate to induce gene mutations according to the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II) using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100, and TA 102.
The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Each concentration, including the controls, was tested in triplicate. The test item was tested at the following concentrations:

with S9 mix: 0.03; 0.1; 0.3; 1; 3; 10; 33; and 100 µg/plateThe plates incubated with the test item showed reduced background growth with and without S9 mix in all strains used.
Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication factor of 0.5), occurred in the test groups with and without metabolic activation.
No substantial increase in revertant colony numbers of any of the fivetester strains was observed following treatment with Alkoxypropandiamine and Alkoxypropandiamineacetate at any dose level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance.
Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase of induced revertant colonies.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy - Evaluation criteria:
- Evaluation of the cultures was performed (according to standard protocol of the "Arbeitsgruppe der Industrie, Cytogenetik") using NIKON microscopes with 100x oil immersion objectives. Breaks, fragments, deletions, exchanges, and chromosome disintegrations were recorded as structural chromosome aberrations. Gaps were recorded as well but not included in the calculation of the aberration rates. At least 100 well spread metaphases per culture were scored for cytogenetic damage on coded slides.
Only metaphases with characteristic chromosome numbers of 46 ± 1 were included in the analysis. To describe a cytotoxic effect the mitotic index (% cells in mitosis) was determined.
In addition, the number of polyploid cells in 500 metaphases per culture was determined (% polyploid metaphases; in the case of this aneuploid cell line polyploid means a near tetraploid karyotype). - Statistics:
- Statistical significance was confirmed by means of the Fisher´s exact test (p < 0.05).

- Vehicle controls validity:

- Untreated negative controls validity:

- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- The test item Alkoxypropandiamine and Alkoxypropandiamine acetate, dissolved in deionised water, was assessed for its potential to induce chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes in vitro in the absence and presence of metabolic activation by S9 mix.
Two independent experiments were performed. In Experiment I, the exposure period was 4 hours with and without S9 mix. In Experiment II, the exposure period was 4 hours with S9 mix and 22 hours without S9 mix. The chromosomes were prepared 22 hours after start of treatment with the test item.
In each experimental group two parallel cultures were analysed. 100 metaphase plates per culture were scored for structural chromosomal aberrations. 1000 cells were counted per culture for determination of the mitotic index.
The highest treatment concentration in this study, 4125.0 µg/mL was chosen with respect to the OECD Guideline for in vitro mammalian cytogenetic tests considering the molecular weight and the purity (90.7 %) of the test item.
Precipitation of the test item in the culture medium was only observed in Experiment I at 37.3 µg/mL and above in the presence of S9 mix. No relevant increase in the osmolarity or pH value was observed (Exp. I: solvent control: 277 mOsm, pH 7.3 versus 280 mOsm and pH 7.3 at 200.0 µg/mL; Exp. II: solvent control: 276 mOsm, pH 7.7 versus 274 mOsm and pH 7.7 at 10.0 µg/mL).
Clearly reduced mitotic indices were observed in Experiment I in the absence of S9 mix (35.5 % of control) and in Experiment II in the presence of S9 mix (45.3 % of control). In Experiment I in the presence of S9 mix and in Experiment II in the absence of S9 mix, concentrations showing clear cytotoxicity were not evaluable for cytogenetic damage. However, the mitotic indices were greatly reduced to approx. 60 % of control at the highest evaluated concentrations.
In both experiments in the absence and presence of S9 mix no statistically significant or biologically relevant increase in the number of cells carrying structural chromosome aberrations was observed. The aberration rates of the cells after treatment with the test item (0.5 - 2.5 % aberrant cells, excluding gaps) were close to the range of the solvent control values (0.0 - 1.5 % aberrant cells, excluding gaps) and within the range of the laboratory’s historical solvent control data.
Table 5 and 8, pages 24 and 27, show the occurrence of polyploid metaphases. In both experiments, no biologically relevant increase in the rate of polyploid metaphases was found after treatment with the test item (0.0 - 0.2 %) as compared to the rate of the solvent controls (0.0 %).
In both experiments, either EMS (660.0 or 825.0 µg/mL) or CPA (7.5 or 15.0 µg/mL) were used as positive controls and showed distinct increases in cells with structural chromosome aberrations. - Remarks on result:
- other: strain/cell type: human lymphocytes
- Remarks:
- Migrated from field 'Test system'.
- Conclusions:
- In conclusion, it can be stated that under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce structural chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytes in vitro.
Therefore, Alkoxypropandiamine and Alkoxypropandiamine acetate is considered to be non-clastogenic in this chromosome aberration test, when tested up to cytotoxic or the highest evaluable concentrations. - Executive summary:
The test item Alkoxypropandiamine and Alkoxypropandiamine acetate, dissolved in deionised water, was assessed for its potential to induce structural chromosomal aberrations in human lymphocytesin vitroin two independent experiments. The following study design was performed:

In each experimental group two parallel cultures were analysed. Per culture 100 metaphase plates were scored for structural chromosomal aberrations.
The highest applied concentration in the pre-test on toxicity (4125.0 µg/mL of the test item) was chosen with regard to the molecular weight and the purity (90.7 %) of the test item and with respect to the current OECD Guideline 473.
Dose selection of the cytogenetic experiment was performed considering the toxicity data and the occurrence of test item precipitation in accordance with OECD Guideline 473. The chosen treatment concentrations and the rationale for the dose selection are reported in Table1. The evaluated experimental points and the results are summarised in Table2.
In Experiment I, in the absence of S9 mix and in Experiment II, in the presence of S9 mix, clear cytotoxicity was observed at the highest evaluated concentration. In Experiment I, in the presence of S9 mix and in Experiment II, in the absence of S9 mix, concentrations showing clear cytotoxicity were not evaluable for cytogenetic damage. However, the mitotic index was greatly reduced to approx. 60 % of control at the highest evaluated concentrations.
In both independent experiments, neither a statistically significant nor a biologically relevant increase in the number of cells carrying structural chromosomal aberrations was observed after treatment with the test item.
No relevant increase in polyploid metaphases was found after treatment with the test item as compared to the frequencies of the control cultures.
Appropriate mutagens were used as positive controls. They induced statistically significant increases (p < 0.05) in cells with structural chromosome aberrations.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cloning efficiency - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item producing neither a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency nor a reproducible positive response at any of the test points is considered to be non-mutagenic in this system.
A mutagenic response is described as follows:
The test item is classified as mutagenic if it induces reproducibly with one of the concen¬trations a mutation frequency that is three times higher than the spontaneous mutation fre¬quency in the experiment.
The test item is classified as mutagenic if there is a reproducible concentration-related increase of the mutation frequency. Such evaluation may be considered also in the case that a threefold increase of the mutant frequency is not observed.
In a case by case evaluation this decision depends on the level of the correspon¬ding solvent control data. - Statistics:

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
In the range finding pre-experiments test item concentrations between 0.5 and 4200 µg/mL (approximately 10 mM) were used to evaluate toxicity in the presence (4 h treatment) and absence (4 h and 24 h treatment) of metabolic activation.
Relevant to severe cytotoxic effects were noted at 0.5 µg/mL and above following 4h and 24h treatment without metabolic activation and at 8.0 µg/mL and above following 4h treatment with metabolic activation. Precipitation at the end of treatment was observed at 32.8 µg/mL and above with metabolic activation and at 525 µg/mL without metabolic activation and 4h treatment. After 24h treatment without metabolic activation precipitation was noted at 262.5 µg/mL and above.
There was no relevant shift of the osmolarity of the medium or the pH even at the maximum concentration without metabolic activation.
Based on the results of the pre-experiments the concentration range of the main experiments was selected. The individual concentrations were generally spaced by a factor of 2.0. At high concentrations a narrower spacing was used to cover the cytotoxic range more closely.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: within historical solvent control range
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
Relevant cytotoxic effects indicated by a relative cloning efficiency I below 50% were observed in the first experiment at 6.0 µg/mL and above with and at 0.25 µg/mL and above without metabolic activation. In the second experiment toxic effects as described above occurred at 6.0 µg/mL and above with and at 0.75 µg/mL without metabolic activation. - Conclusions:
- In conclusion it can be stated that under the experimental conditions reported the test item did not induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus in V79 cells. Therefore, a Mixture of Alkoxypropandiamine acetate (CAS 102047-27-8) and Alkoxypropandiamine (CAS 68479-04-9) is considered to be non-mutagenic in this HPRT assay.
- Executive summary:
The test item Mixture of Alkoxypropandiamine acetate (CAS 102047-27-8) and Alkoxypropandiamine (CAS 68479-04-9) was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus using V79 cells of the Chinese hamster.
The study was performed in two independent experiments, using identical experimental procedures. In the first experiment the treatment period was 4 hours with and without metabolic activation. The second experiment was performed with a treatment time of 4 hours with and 24 hours without metabolic activation.
The cell cultures were evaluated at the following concentrations:
Experiment I:
without S9 mix: 0.063; 0.13; 0.25; and 0.5 µg/mL
with S9 mix: 1.0; 2.0; 4.0; 6.0; and 8.0 µg/mLExperiment II:
without S9 mix: 0.063; 0.13; 0.25; 0.5; and 0.75 µg/mL
with S9 mix: 1.0; 2.0; 4.0; 6.0; and 7.0 µg/mLRelevant cytotoxic effects indicated by a relative cloning efficiency I below 50% were observed in the first experiment at 6.0 µg/mL and above with and at 0.25 µg/mL and above without metabolic activation. In the second experiment toxic effects as described above occurred at 6.0 µg/mL and above with and at 0.75 µg/mL without metabolic activation.
No relevant and reproducible increase in mutant colony numbers/106cells was observed in the main experiments up to the maximal concentration. The induction factor of three times the corresponding solvent control was exceeded at 8.0 µg/mL in the second culture of the first experiment with metabolic activation and at 7.0 µg/mL in the first culture of the second experiment with metabolic activation. However, the induction factor of each parallel culture remained below the threshold. Only one out of four experimental parts with metabolic activation (two cultures of experiment I and two cultures of experiment II) showed a statistically significant increase of the mutation frequency (culture I of the second experiment with metabolic activation). Therefore, the increased values of the mutation frequency described above are considered irreproducible and thus biologically irrelevant toxic artefacts
A linear regression analysis (least squares) was performed to assess a possible dose dependent increase of mutant frequencies using SYSTAT statistics software. A significant dose dependent trend of the mutation frequency indicated by a probability value of <0.05 was solely determined in the first culture of the second experiment with metabolic activation. Another significant trend noted in the first culture of the first experiment with metabolic activation was judged as irrelevant since it was reciprocal, going down versus increasing concentrations.
In both experiments of this study (with and without S9 mix) the range of the solvent controls was from 5.6 up to 23.2 mutants per 106cells; the range of the groups treated with the test item was from 3.1 up to 52.5 mutants per 106cells. EMS (150 µg/mL) and DMBA (1.1 µg/mL) were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase in induced mutant colonies.

Mode of Action Analysis / Human Relevance Framework
Based on structure and mechanism of cytotoxicity, genototoxicity by EtherdiamineC13i/acetateis not expected. In physiological circumstances, EtherdiamineC13i/acetatehas a cationic surfactant structure which leads to high adsorptive properties to negatively charged surfaces as cellular membranes. The apolar tail easily dissolve in the membranes, whereas the polar head causes disruption and leakage of the membranes leading to cell damage or lysis of the cell content. As a consequence, the whole molecule will not easily pass membrane structures. Noteworthy in this respect is that recent research shows that the log distribution coefficient for cationic surfactants between water and phospholipid are possibly several orders of magnitude higher than between water and oil.
Cytotoxicity through disruption of cell membrane will occur rather than absorption over the cell membrane into the cell and transfer to the nucleus to interact with DNA.
Additional information
Etherdiamine C13i/acetate has been tested for genetic toxicity in three in vitro tests to current OECD/EU protocols carried out according to GLP and with a clearly defined and described test substance.
Etherdiamine C13i/acetate was tested
in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay with five
histidine-requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 1535,
TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100, and TA 102). The test was performed in two
independent experiments in the presence and absence of S9-mix (rat liver
S9-mix induced with Phenobarbital/β-Naphthoflavone).
There was no significant or dose-related increase in the number of
revertant colonies in any of the applied strains, both with and without
S9-mix. This was confirmed in an independently repeated experiment.
Etherdiamine C13i/acetate was studied for its effect on the number of chromosome aberrations in cultured peripheral human lymphocytes in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system (phenobarbital and ß-naphthoflavone induced rat liver S9-mix), in two independent experiments.
Etherdiamine C13i/acetate did not induce a statistically significant or biologically relevant increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations in the absence and presence of S9-mix, in either of the two independently repeated experiments. No relevant increase in polyploid metaphases was found after treatment with the test item as compared to the frequencies of the control cultures.
Etherdiamine C13i/acetate was assessed for its potential to induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus using V79 cells of the Chinese hamster. The test was performed in two independent experiments in the absence and presence of S9-mix (rat liver S9-mix induced with Phenobarbital/β-Naphthoflavone).
In both the presence and absence of S9-mix, Etherdiamine C13i/acetate did not induce a significant increase in the mutation frequency.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Etherdiamine C13i/acetate is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay, is not clastogenic in human lymphocytes, and not mutagenic in the HPRT mutation test with Chinese hamster V79 cells.
It can therefore be concluded that Etherdiamine C13i/acetate is not genotoxic.
