Reference substance name:
7-methyl-3-methyleneocta-1,6-diene
EC Number:
204-622-5
EC Name:
7-methyl-3-methyleneocta-1,6-diene
Cas Number:
123-35-3
Molecular formula:
C10H16
IUPAC Name:
7-methyl-3-methyleneocta-1,6-diene
Specific details on test material used for the study:

Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
lymphocytes: Human
Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
Peripheral blood samples were obtained from two healthy probands (one male, one female, both non- smokers).
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Rat liver homogenate induced with Aroclor-1254
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Concentrations between 100 and 1,000 ug/ml were tested.
It is reported that the maximum concentration was limited by the solublity in the test media

lymphocytes: Human
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
no cytotoxicity, but tested up to precipitating concentrations
Vehicle controls validity:
not specified
Untreated negative controls validity:
not specified
Positive controls validity:
not specified

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It was concluded in this research that there was no evidence of effects on chromosomes.
It is also worth noting that the authors performed further review work, noting no mutagenic effects of this plant oil.
