DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY:
- Method: mitotic index; number of mitotic cells per 1000 total cell count


OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: Included in aberrration totals. If marked increases had been noted the frequency would have been calculated based on 500 metaphases in the particular flask
- Determination of endoreplication: Not included in aberration totals. If marked increase had been noted the frequency would have been calculated based on 500 metaphases in the particular flask.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: No data
- Effects of osmolality: No data
- Evaporation from medium: No data (unlikely as substance has low vapor pressure and a Log P o/w relatively high)
- Water solubility: Doses were significantly higher than the estimated water solubility of DINP (2 µg/ml).
- Precipitation: precipitation was thought to have occured on some occasions at 40, 80 or 160 µg/ml
- Other confounding effects: No data


RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: YES

A toxicity pre-test was performed to determine appropriate doses for the main study.


COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: No quantitative data reported.

Any other information on results incl. tables

A tabulated summary of results is presented in the 'overall remarks and attachments' window below.

No statistically significant differences were observed between the test and vehicle control groups in the percentage of aberrant cells following treatment with the test substance at 40, 80 or 160 µg/l, either with or without metabolic activation, for the initial or repeat asssays.

Although there was a statistically significant trend of the series without metabolic activation for the 20-hour harvest in the repeat asssay, the response at the high dose (160 µg/ml) was not extreme and is within the normal range of the vehicle control. It was not supported by an observable dose response, and was not supported by other results at other harvests. Examination of the replicates showed that one flask at 160 µg/ml, had 6 aberrant cells out of 100 while the other flask at the same dose had only 2 aberrant cells out of 100. It appeared that the one flask (6/100) was anomalous and not representative of the other data. Based on this data analysis, there was no statistically significant relationship between dose and the number of aberrant cells.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test substance did not induce chromosomal aberrations in chinese hamster ovary cells
Executive summary:

Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells were exposed to di-isononyl phthalate (DINP) in acetone at concentrations of 5,10, 20, 40, 80 or 100 µg/ml media, for 3 hours (with and without metabolic activation) in an initial assay, or 3 hours (with metabolic activation) and 20 hours (without metabolic activation) in a repeat assay, and harvested after 20 or 44 hours incubation, respectively. DINP did not induce chromosomal aberrations in the cultured CHO cells at any of the evaluted dose levels (40, 80 and 160 µg/ml) with and without metabolic activation.

The study was considered acceptable for classification, and satisfied the requirements for mammalian cell chromosomal aberration studies.
