Endpoint:
in vitro cytogenicity / chromosome aberration study in mammalian cells
Remarks:
Type of genotoxicity: chromosome aberration
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
1997-02-10 to 1997-05-01
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
The study was conducted according to the appropriate OECD test guideline, and in compliance with GLP. The data are read across from dichloro(3-chloropropyl)methylsilane (CAS 7787-93-1). The original study was considered reliability 1. Read-across to the registered substance is considered scientifically justified and is reliability 2.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium

DURATION

- Exposure duration: 3 - 28 hours

- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 15 hours with S9 in exp 1, 18 hours without S9. 28 hours in exp 2.

- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): 4 and 7 days

- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): 18 - 28 hours

SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): Colcemid

STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): Giesma

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 200 cells per treatment group


DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index
Evaluation criteria:
The test chemical is considered clastogenic if it induces chromosomal aberrations (excl. gaps) in a statistically significant manner in one or more concentrations; the induced proportion of aberrant cells exceeds the normal range of the test system (i.e. > 5%), and positive results can be verified in an independent experiment.
Statistics:
Chi-square test

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

In a reliable test conducted according to OECD 473 and under GLP, the test substance did not induce biologically significant increases in the chromosomal aberration frequency of V79 Chinese hamster cells and is therefore judged to be non clastogenic in vitro. The result is a read across from dichloro(3-chloropropyl)methylsilane (CAS 7787-93-1).
