Test results:

Cytogenetic effects were seen as follows.

At the highest concentration (900 µg/ml) after 6 hr short-term treatment with and without exogenous metabolic activation, 22.5 and 12.0% cells demonstrated structural chromosomal aberrations including gaps.

Genotoxic effects: clastogenicity    polyploidy

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
weekly positive with metabolic activation
3,5-Dimethylaniline induced structural chromosomal aberrations in CHL/IU cells at highest concentration (900µg/L) after 6 hr short-term treatment with and without exogenous metabolic activation. Polyploidy was not induced under the conditions of the present study.
Executive summary:

3,5-Dimethylaniline induced structural chromosomal aberrations in CHL/IU cells at highest concenttraion (900µg/L) after 6 hr short-term treatment with and without exogenous metabolic activation. Polyploidy was not induced under the conditions of the present study.
