Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 475 (Mammalian Bone Marrow Chromosome Aberration Test)
Principles of method if other than guideline:
10 mice (5 male + 5 female) received a single oral application of 0.1 ml/kg bw of the test substance. Animals were killed after 24, 48 and 72 hours and bone marrow was reprocessed. 1000 polychromatic erytrocytes were evaluated and the number of normochromatic erythrocytes counted. Additionally micronucleated cells per 1000 normochromatic and polychromatic erythrocytes were determined.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of assay:
mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration test

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative
Executive summary:

Method: 10 mice (5 male + 5 female) received a single oral application of 0.1 ml/kg bw of the test substance. animals were killed after 24, 48 and 72 hours and bone marrow was reprocessed. 1000 polychromatic erytrocytes were evaluated and the number of normochromatic erythrocytes counted. Additionally micronucleated cells per 1000 normochromatic and polychromatic erythrocytes were determined.

Result: no indication for a mutagenic effect was found. treated animals revealed no signs of poisoning and survived until sacrifice.
