A solubility test was performed to determine the highest applicable dose level (suspension) of the test substance for the tolerability test (up to a top dose level of 5000 mg/kg body weight). Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), 0.5% in water was found to be the best suited vehicle, yielding an applicable suspension at the highest dose level of 5000 mg/kg.

Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- femoral bone marrow cells were prepared and polychromatic erythrocytes were scored for micronuclei
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: The high dose applied (limit dose, 5000 mg/kg bw) was toxic as manifested in a range finding test by various symptoms.
TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields): From the high dose group and from the negative control group animals were sacrificed 24 and 48 hours thereafter. From the intermediate and the low dose group and from the positive control group animals were sacrificed 24 hours after application. The animals were sacrificed by CO2 gas. Subsequently femoral bone marrow cells were prepared and polychromatic erythrocytes were scored for micronuclei: Bone marrow was harvested in fetal calf serum from the shafts of both femurs, centrifuged and resuspended in fetal calf serum. Thereof smears were made. They were air-dried and then stained with May-Grünwald/Giemsa solution. After rinsing with distilled water and air-drying, the slides were cleared in Xylene and mounted.
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION: 1000 cells/animal scored
Criteria for scoring micronuclei:
Micronuclei are uniform, darkly stained, more or less round bodies in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes. Inclusions which are reflective, improperly shaped or stained, or which are not in the focal plain of the cell are judged to be artifacts and were not scored as micronuclei. Cells containing more than one micronucleus are only counted once.
Prior to analysis the slides were coded. The slides of five animals/sex/dose, showing good differentiation between mature and polychromatic erythrocytes, were scored by a laboratory technician. The incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPCE) among at least 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE), and the ratio of PCE to normochromatic erythrocytes (NCE) among a total of 1000 erythrocytes was determined for each slide. - Evaluation criteria:
- Assay evaluation criteria:
The results of the experiments were evaluated with respect to the mean number of PCEs with micronuclei. The groups compared differed by treatment, sampling time and sex of the animals. Since there was no significant difference between animals of either sex, the data from females and males were pooled for evaluation.
Criteria for a positive effect:
The test substance is considered to be active in this test system if at any group treated with the test substance the mean number of micronucleated PCEs exceeds the value of 0.20% and if there is a statistically significant difference of the number of micronucleated PCEs in comparison with the negative control.
Exceptions:
If the positive effect occurs in a minority of the treated animals only and if their number of micronucleated normochromatic erythrocytes (NCEs) is also enhanced in comparison with the respective negative control, the effect on PCEs is not attributed to the treatment. If the limits of the criteria for a positive or for a negative response are reached, the Study Director additionally interpreted the results based on previous experience with this test system.
Assay acceptance criteria:
1. The result of the experiment should not be influenced by a significant technical error or a recognized artifact.
2. The high dose of the test substance applied should be the maximum tolerated dose causing no death in a group of four animals in the range finding-test. In the absence of lethality in the tolerability test, the high dose should be up to a maximum of 5000 mg/kg body weight or the highest applicable dose due to the limited solubility of the test substance.
3. The quality of the slides must allow a clear differentiation between PCEs and NCEs.
4. The mean number of micronucleated PCEs in the negative control groups should not exceed the value of 0.20%.
5. The positive control should fullfill the criteria for an active substance. - Statistics:
- The significance of differences was assessed by the Chi-Squared-Contingency-Test.

At all three dosage groups and at both sampling times, with one exception (females, 1250 mg/kg, 24 hours), there was no statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in the animals treated with the test substance as compared with the respective negative control animals. In the group of females dosed with 1250 mg/kg (24 hours sampling time) there was a very weak, but statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in the animals treated with the test substance. No such increase was observed in the corresponding group of males and there was no dose-dependency in the groups of females. The mean percentage of micronucleated PCEs (0.14%) did not meet the criteria for a positive response and was within the range of the negative historical control. Therefore, the slight increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes is attributed to spontaneously occurring events and is considered to be of no biological relevance.
At the 24 hours sampling time in the groups treated with the test substance the mean percentage of micronucleated PCEs was 0.08 (1250 mg/kg), 0.04 (2500 mg/kg) and 0.05 (5000 mg/kg) respectively. The respective negative control value for this group was 0.02%.
At the 48 hours sampling time in the group treated with 5000 mg/kg of the test substance the mean percentage of micronucleated PCEs was 0.07 compared to a negative control value of 0.05.
In the positive control (24 hours) the percentage of micronucleated cells within polychromatic erythrocytes was clearly increased. The mean percentage of micronucleated PCEs was 1.33.
