Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 3, 24 and 48h
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): 3h treatment: 24 and 48h; 24h treatment: 24h; 48h treatment: 48h

SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): colchicine 0.5 µL/mL medium
STAIN (for cytogenetic assays): Giemsa 5% (v/v) in tap water

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2 (duplicates at the 3h-exposure time)

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 100 per culture

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index of 1000 cells

OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: yes
Evaluation criteria:
A test substance was considered positive (clastogenic) in the chromosome aberration test if: a) It induced a dose-related statistically significant (Chi-square test, one-sided, p < 0.05) increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations. b) A statistically significant and biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of the number of cells with chromosome aberrations was observed in the absence of a clear dose-response relationship.
A test substance was considered negative (not clastogenic) in the chromosome aberration test if none of the tested concentrations induced a statistically significant (Chi-square test, one-sided, p < 0.05) increase in the number of cells with chromosome aberrations. The preceding criteria are not absolute and other modifying factors might enter into the final evaluation decision.
Statistics:
Chi-square test, one-sided, p < 0.05

Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
lymphocytes: cultured human peripheral lymphocytes
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
no cytotoxicity
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Untreated negative controls validity:

Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: At a concentration of 33 µg/mL 2-ethylhexyl oleate precipitated in the culture medium
- Other confounding effects: 2-ethylhexyl oleate showed no significant effects on the number of polyploid cells

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: The highest concentration analysed was selected based on the solubility of the test substance in the culture medium (3 h and 24 h continuous exposure) or on toxicity, inhibition of the mitotic index of about 50% or greater (48 h continuous exposure).

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
No cytotoxicity was observed in the duplicate cultures of the 3h exposure time.

Remarks on result:
