Key value for chemical safety assessment
Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
The test item showed no mutagenic effect neither in the plate incorporation test nor in the preincubation test each carried out without and with metabolic activation when tested up to a cytotoxic concentration of 1000 μg/plate in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 TA 1537 and TA 1538 and the Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvr A.
The test item was tested in a study equivalent to OECD Guideline 473 (In Vitro Mammalian Chromosome Aberration Test). In the direct method (24- and 48-hour treatments), no difference was observed between any of the test article groups and the negative control (non-treatment or solvent) groups with respect to the frequency of cells with structural aberrations or the frequency of cells with numerical aberrations. The percentage of cells with structural aberrations in the positive control (MMC) group was 45.5% for the 24-hour treatment and 64.0% for the 48-hour treatment. Due to cytotoxicity, there were less than 50 metaphase cells per dish (TOX) in the 160μg/mL group in the direct method with 48-hour treatment. In the metabolic activation method (with and without S9 mix), no difference was observed between any of the test article groups and the negative control (non-treatment or solvent) groups with respect to the frequency of cells with numerical aberrations. In the metabolic activation method without S9 mix, no difference was observed between any of the test article groups and the negative control (non-treatment or solvent) groups with respect to the frequency of cells with structural aberrations. However, the frequency of cells with structural aberrations in the 625μg/mL group with S9 mix was 23.0%, which was assessed as positive; even though no concentration dependency was observed. The percentage of cells with structural aberrations in the positive control (DMN) group was 73.5% in the presence of S9 mix.
Based on these results it was concluded that the test item induced chromosome aberrations (structural aberrations) in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (CHL/IU) in the presence of a metabolic activation system.

Prior to the main test two preliminary cytotoxicity tests (plate incorporation test, without and with metabolic activation) were carried out in test strain TA 100.
In the main study 6 different concentrations of the test item were tested, with half-log intervals between plates (i.e. 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316 and 1000 µg per plate). - Evaluation criteria:
- In this study, the test item was considered to show a positive response if:
the number of revertants is significantly increased compared to the solvent control to at least 2-fold of the solvent control for TA 98, TA 100 and Escherichia coli and 3-fold of the solvent control for TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 1538 in both independent experiments
a significant concentration (log value)-related effect is observed
positive results have to be reproducible and the histidine or tryptophan independence of the revertants has to be confirmed by streaking random samples on histidine- or tryptophan-free agar plates.

- Executive summary:
In a study performed according to OECD Guideline 471 with GLP comliance, the test item was examined in the 5 Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 1538 and in the Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvr A in two independent experiments, each carried out without and with metabolic activation. The first experiment was carried out as a plate incorporation test and the second as a preincubation test.
The test item was examined in two preliminary cytotoxicity tests (plate incorporation test without and with metabolic activation) in test strain TA 100. Ten concentrations ranging from 0.316 to 5000 µg/plate were tested. Pronounced cytotoxicity was noted starting at a concentration of 1000 µg/plate. Hence, 1000 µg/plate were chosen as top concentration for the main study in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test, respectively. Six concentrations ranging from 3.16 to 1000 µg/plate were employed in the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test, each carried out without and with metabolic activation.
In the plate incorporation test and in the preincubation test, each carried out without and with metabolic activation cytotoxicity was noted at the top concentration of 1000 µg/plate, in all Salmonella typhimurium strains and in the Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvr A.
No mutagenic effect was observed tested up to a cytotoxic concentration of 1000 µg/plate, in the Salmonella typhimurium and in the Escherichia coli test strains in two independent experiments without and with metabolic activation, respectively.

Genetic toxicity in vivo
Description of key information
An in vivo micronucleus study using the bone marrow of male CD-1 mice was conducted, where groups of 6 mice received doses of 400, 200, 100 or 50 mg/kg bw via intraperitoneal injections (twice with 24 -hour interval). The bone-marrow smears were prepared 24 hours following the final administration. Four deaths were observed in the 400 mg/kg bw group and one death in the 200 mg/kg bw group. A decrease in locomotor activity and bradypnea were observed at >= 50 mg/kg bw, piloerection was observed at >= 100 mg/kg bw and hypothermia, lacrimation and prone position at >= 200 mg/kg bw. A decrease in body weight was observed at >= 100 mg/kg bw one day following the first administration and onwards. The percentage of MNPCE in the MMC (positive control) group 24 hours following single intraperitoneal administration was 4.77%, which is clearly higher than that in the negative control group, 0.07%. The number of MNPCE was 286, which was assessed as positive and exceeded the number of MNPCE estimated on the basis of the historical control data. The number of MNPCE in the negative control group was within the range estimated on the basis of the historical control data. Thus, it was judged that this study was valid.
The percentage of MNPCE in the 400, 200, 100 and 50 mg/kg bw groups 24 hours following the final administration of the test item was 0.10, 0.08, 0.07 and 0.18%, respectively. These values were within the range estimated on the basis of the historical control data for the negative control. The result of the Kastenbaum and Bowman assessment was negative. The proportion of PCE to total erythrocytes was significantly lower in the 100 and 200 mg/kg bw groups than that in the negative control group.
Based on these results it can be concluded that the test item inhibits the growth of erythroblasts at >= 100 mg/kg bw, but does not have the potency of eliciting micronuclei in vivo.

- Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:
- For this test 7-week-old male ICR (Crj: CD-1) SPF mice were purchased from Japan Biomaterial Center. The mice were produced by Charles River Japan, Inc.. The animals were kept in the laboratory for eight days for quarantine and acclimatization. Following physical examination, the mice were used in the tests with an age of 8 weeks. The range of body weights at the first administration was 34.5 to 39.1 g in the dose-finding test and 33.2 to 40.6 g in the main test. The animals were stratified with the body weight on the final day of the acclimatization period, and then randomly assigned to one of the test groups using random numbers produced by a computer. Six mice were assigned to each group in both the dose-finding test and the main test. A total of 36 male mice were used in each test. Six mice (the whole group) were kept in one cage.
The animals were kept in aluminum box-type cages. The temperature was set at 20 to 26°C, and relative humidity was set at 40 to 70%. The lighting period was set to 12 hours and the ventilation cycle was set at 10 to 15 cycles per hour.
Autoclaved floor chips were placed on the floor of the cage.
The animals had free access to commercially available radiation-sterilized solid food and tap water from a water bottle. - Route of administration:
- intraperitoneal
- Vehicle:
- physiol. saline
- Details on exposure:
- The required amount of the test item was weighed out and diluted with physiological saline to prepare 400, 200, 100 and 50 mg/kg solutions (4, 2, 1 and 0.5 % [w/v]) for use in the main test.
- Duration of treatment / exposure:
- The animals received intraperitoneal administration twice (24-hour interval)

- see above
- Post exposure period:
- see below
- Remarks:
- 50-400 mg/kg bw/day (actual dose received)
- No. of animals per sex per dose:
- 6
- Control animals:
- yes
- Positive control(s):
- The animals in the positive control group received a single intraperitoneal administration of mitomycin C at 2 mg/kg bw and were put down 24 hours following administration. The dose and time at which they were put down were based on the historical control data.
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- micronuclei / bone-marrow smears
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- Preparation of bone-marrow smears
The mice that were alive at the completion of the treatment period were put down humanely by dislocating the neck bone. The right femur was removed and bone marrow cells were washed out using a small volume (0.5 to 1.0 mL/femur) of fetal bovine serum. The bone marrow cells were centrifuged at 1000 rpm for five minutes. The supernatant was removed and the bone marrow cells in the test tube were mixed well using a Pasteur pipette to prepare a suspension of even consistency. One drop of the suspension was placed on a slide, and a cover glass was used to prepare a bone-marrow smear. The smear was dried at room temperature, fixed using methanol for five minutes, and stained using Giemsa’s staining solution for 30 minutes. Next, the smear was washed with Sörensen phosphate buffer and placed in a 0.004% citric acid solution for several seconds. The smear was washed with distilled water and dried naturally. Two smears were prepared per mouse, and the code number was written on each smear.
Observation of micronuclei
The bone-marrow smear were observed using a 100× oil immersion objective lens and a 10× ocular lens (total: 1000×), and in the order of the code. Information on the test solution for each bone-marrow smear was concealed (blind observation). Erythrocytes were classified as either polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) or normochromatic erythrocytes (NCE). One thousand PCE were observed per bone-marrow smear and the percentage of micronucleated PCE (MNPCE) was calculated. One thousand erythrocytes (PCE and NCE [total erythrocytes]) were observed per animal (smear) and the proportion of the PCE to total erythrocytes was calculated to examine the cytostatic effect of the test solution on erythroblasts. - Evaluation criteria:
- The percentages of MNPCE in the negative control group and the positive control group were compared with historical control data for the negative control. If the following criteria were met, this study was regarded as valid:
The number of MNPCE in the negative control group in this study does not exceed the number of MNPCE estimated on the basis of the historical control data.
The number of MNPCE in the positive control group in this study exceeds the number of MNPCE estimated on the basis of the historical control data. - Statistics:
- The test results were assessed using the Kastenbaum and Bowman assessment table. In addition, in order to examine the cytostatic effect of the test item on bone marrow cells, the proportions of PCE to total erythrocytes in the test item and positive control groups were each compared to that in the negative control group using Statistic Library 1, Statistical Analysis Version 5. When three or more groups were compared, the comparisons were carried out in the following manner. Bartlett’s test for homogeneity was conducted for distribution among the groups. If the distribution in the groups was equivalent, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was carried out. If ANOVA revealed a significant difference among the groups, a Dunnett’s test was performed to compare the mean values of the negative control and the test article (or positive control) groups. If the distribution was not equivalent, a Kruskal-Wallis rank-test was performed. If the rank-test revealed a significant difference, a Dunnett’s test (a comparison of the mean values of the negative control and the test article or positive control groups) was performed.

Additional information
Justification for classification or non-classification
The genetic toxicity of the test item was investigated in three studies, i.e. bacterial gene mutation assay, in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test and in vivo micronucleus study with mice. In total there was no indication for a mutagenic/genotoxic potential of the test item. Therefore, there is no need for classification and labelling of the test item according to CLP Regulation 1272/2008/EG.
