Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: In agar (plate incorporation) and preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 30minutes
- Exposure duration: 72 hours

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): Histidine requirement (S. thyphimurium) or tryptophan requirement (E. coli)

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Reduction in number of spontaneous revertants, thinning of background lawn or microcolony formation
Evaluation criteria:
For a test to be considered valid, the mean of the vehicle control revertant colony numbers for each strain should lie within or close to the current historical control range of the laboratory unless otherwise justified by the Study Director. Also, the positive control compounds must induce an increase in mean revertant colony numbers of at least twice the concurrent vehicle controls.

For the tested substance to be considered mutagenic, two-fold (or more) increases in mean revertant numbers must be observed at two consecutive dose levels or at the highest practicable dose level only. In addition, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose levels.
Statistics:
The mean number and standard deviation of revertant colonies were calculated for all groups. The “fold-increases” relative to the vehicle controls were calculated in order to compare the means for all treatment groups with those obtained for the vehicle control groups.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative

It is concluded that the substance showed no evidence of mutagenic activity in this bacterial system under the test conditions employed.
Executive summary:

Gene mutation has been investigated in bacteria using strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, in accordance with OECD/EU test methods. Five tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA were used and experiments were performed both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation, using liver S9 fraction from rats pre-treated with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone. The tested substance did not induce reverse mutation in the tester strains, neither in the absence nor presence of S9 metabolism.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative

lt is concluded that the tested substance does not induce mutation at the TK locus of L5178Y mouse lymphoma cells in vitro in the absence or presence of S9 metabolic activation, under the reported experimental conditions.
Executive summary:

Mutagenic activity has been examined by assaying for the induction mutants in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells after in vitro treatment, in the absence and presence of S9 metabolic activation, using a fluctuation method according to OECD/EU test methods. No relevant increases in mutant frequencies were observed following treatment.

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 1000 cells/culture

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cytokinesis-block proliferation index
Evaluation criteria:
An assay is considered to be acceptable if the negative and positive control values lie within the current historical control range.
The test substance is considered to cause a positive response if the following conditions are met:
- Significant increases in the proportion of micronucleated cells over the concurrent controls occur at one or more concentrations.
- The proportion of micronucleated cells at such data points exceeds the normal range. If the increases fall within the range of values normally observed in the negative control cultures, the test cannot be classified as positive. Any significant increases over the concurrent negative controls were therefore compared with historical control values derived from recent studies.
- There is a significant dose-relationship.
Statistics:
A modified chi-squared test was used to compare the number of cells bearing micronuclei in control and treated cultures.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: Severe cytotoxicity was observed following treatment in the absence of S9 metabolism with the substance at a concentration of 5000 µg/mL where no cells were recovered at harvesting. Severe cytotoxicity was also observed at the next lower concentration of 2500 µg/mL (97%). No cytotoxicity was observed over the remaining dose range. In the presence of S9 metabolism, severe cytotoxicity was observed following treatment at the highest dose level where no cells were recovered at harvesting. Severe cytotoxicity was also observed at 2500 µg/mL (92%). Mild cytotoxicity (33%) was observed at 1250 µg/mL, no remarkable cytotoxicity was observed over the remaining dose range. Severe cytotoxicity was observed at the highest dose level of 2500 µg/mL following continuous treatment in the absence of S9 metabolism. Severe cytotoxicity was also observed at 1670 µg/mL (89%) and marked cytotoxicity was observed at 1110 µg/mL (77%). Moderate cytotoxicity was observed at 741 µg/mL (58%) and mild or no remarkable cytotoxicity was observed over the remaining dose range. The highest dose level for genotoxicity assessment was selected as a dose which produced a substantial cytotoxicity compared with the solvent control, ideally between 50% and 60%.

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative

On the basis of the results obtained, it is concluded that the substance does not induce micronuclei in Chinese hamster V79 cells after in vitro treatment in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions
Executive summary:

The ability of the substance to induce micronuclei in Chinese hamster V79 cells following in vitro treatment in the absence and presence of S9 metabolic activation has been investigated using methods in accordance with OECD test guidelines. The tested substance did not induce micronuclei in Chinese hamster V79 cells after in vitro treatment.

Additional information

The substance or its structural analogues has been tested in bacterial reverse mutation assays (Ames test) which showed the substance(s) not to induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli, an in-vitro chromosome aberration test which showed the substance not to induce chromosomal aberrations; an assay for the induction of trifluorothymidine resistant mutants in mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells after in vitro treatment which was negative and an assay for the ability to induce micronuclei in Chinese hamster V79 cells following in vitro treatment which was negative.

 

REACH Regulation 1907/2006 (Annex VIII, 8.4 Column 2) states that appropriate in-vivo mutagenicity studies should be considered in those cases of a positive result in any of the in vitro genotoxicity studies. In vitro investigations with the substance were negative and in vivo studies are therefore regarded as inappropriate and not in line with current concerns regarding animal welfare and the use of animals in scientific experiments.


Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)

Justification for classification or non-classification

Non-classification is justified on the basis of negative findings in a number of in-vitro tests on the substance
