Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
One bone marrow smear was prepared per animal from the tissue cleared from each femur.
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:
An initial experiment to determine the toxicity of the test substance was conducted. Three male and three female mice were administered the test
substance orally at 1000 mg/kg b.w. This dose resulted in only slight toxicity and was therefore chosen as the top dose. In the main experiment,
two animals died within the first 6 hours of dosing at 1000 mg/kg b.w. so a dose of 600 mg/kg b.w. was chosen as the highest dose that could be used for analysis of micronuclei. All 10 mice at 1000 mg/kg b.w. died within 24 hours of dosing.


TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES:
Five males and five females from each group were sacrificed 24 hours after dosing. Forty eight hours after dosing five animals per sex from the 600 mg/kg dose level were killed.

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
Stained smears were examined by light microscopy for incidence of micronucleated cells per 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes per animal. To describe a cytotoxic effect, the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was assessed by the examination of at least 1000 erythrocytes.

Evaluation criteria:
Evaluation of Results:
Cells were evaluated for large (aneugenic effects) and small (clastogenic effects) micronuclei. The test substance was classified as mutagenic if it induced either a statistically significant (Mann-Whitney test), dose-related increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes or a reproducible, statistically significant positive response for at least one of the test points.
Statistics:
Mann-Whitney test

Any other information on results incl. tables

The ratio of normochromatic to polychromatic erythrocytes was slightly affected by the treatment with 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate at a dose of 600 mg/kg bw (at 24 and 48 hours in male mice and at 48 hours in female mice). At this dose level, only slight toxic effects, as evidenced by reduced spontaneous reactivity, were obtained up to 6 hours after dosing. There was no increase in the frequency of micronuclei at any dose level at either 24- or 48-hours after dosing compared to the negative control group.

The positive control compound, cyclophosphamide, produced significantly increased frequencies of micronucleated polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes.
