- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- The highest concentration used in the pre-test (5.3 μL/mL) was chosen with regard to the current OECD guideline. Test item concentrations between 19.5 μg/mL and 5.3 μL/mL were used to evaluate toxicity in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (4 and 24 hours treatment). Relevant cytotoxic effects were observed at the highest concentration without metabolic activation following 4 hours treatment. No precipitation or phase separation occurred up to the maximum concentration with and without metabolic activation.In the pre-experiment the two highest concentrations were neutralised with 2 N sodium hydroxide. There was no relevant shift of osmolarity of the medium even at the maximum concentration of the test item. In the main experiments the pH was adjusted with 2 N sodium hydroxide at the two highest concentrations.
Based on the results of the pre-experiment, the maximum concentration of the main experiments was again, set to 5.3 μL/mL or 5.0 μL/mL considering the purity of the test item. The individual concentrations were generally spaced by a factor of 2. A slightly larger step was used between the two highest concentrations.

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- Influence of test item in a concentration of 5.3 µL/mL on pH and osmolality was assessed.
Three or four days after treatment 1.5x10 E6 cells per experimental point were subcultivated in 175 cm² flasks containing 30 mL medium. Fowowing the expression time of 7 days five 80 cm² cell culture flasks were seeded with about 3 - 5x10 E5 cells each in medium containing 6-Thioguanine (11 µg/ml). Two additional 25 cm² flasks were seeded with approx. 500 cells each in non-selective medium to determine the viability. The cultures were incubated for about 8 days. The colonies were stained with 10 % methylene blue in 0.01 % KOH solution.
Stained colonies with more than 50 cells were counted. In doubt the colony size was checked with a preparation microscope. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test item is classified as positive if it induces either a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency or a reproducible and positive response at one of the test points. A test item producing neither a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency nor a reproducible positive response at any of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
A positive response is described as folIows:
A test item is classified as mutagenic if it reproducibly induces a mutation frequency that is three times above the spontaneous mutation frequency at least at one of the concentrations in the experiment. The test item is classified as mutagenic if there is a reproducible concentration-related increase of the mutation frequency. Such evaluation may be considered also in the case that a threefold increase of the mutant frequency is not observed. However, in a case by case evaluation this decision depends on the level of the corresponding solvent control data. If there is by chance a low spontaneous mutation rate in the range normally found (3.3 -33.2 mutants per 106 cells) a concentration-related increase of the mutations within this range has to be discussed. The variability of the mutation rates of solvent controls within all experiments of this study was also taken into consideration. - Statistics:
- A linear regression (least squares) was performed to assess a possible dose dependent increase of mutant frequencies. The number of mutant colonies obtained for the groups treated with the test item were compared to the solvent control groups. A trend is judged as significant whenever the p-value (probability value) is below 0.05. However, both, biological and statistical significance were considered together.

- Additional information on results:
- No precipitation or phase separation occurred up to the maximum concentration with and without metabolic activation.
A relevant cytotoxic effect indicated by a relative cloning efficiency I and/or relative cell density below 50% in both parallel cultures solely occurred at the maximum concentration of 5.3 μL/mL following 4 hours treatment in the absence of metabolic activation.
No relevant and reproducible increase in mutant colony numbers/106 cells was observed in the main experiments up to the maximum concentration. A single, isolated increase of the induction factor, exceeding the threshold of 3 times the mutation frequency of the corresponding solvent control occurred at 625 μg/mL in the first culture of the second experiment without metabolic activation. This increase was judged as biological irrelevant fluctuation as it was neither reproduced in the parallel culture under identical experimental conditions nor at any other, even higher concentration of both parallel cultures.
A linear regression analysis (least squares) was performed to assess a possible dose dependent increase of mutant frequency. A significant dose dependent trend of the mutation frequency indicated by a probability value of <0.05 was determined in the first culture of the first experiment with metabolic activation and in the second culture of the second experiment with metabolic activation. However, both trends were judged as biologically irrelevant since they were not reproduced and the mutation frequency did not exceed the threshold described above.
In both experiments of this study (with and without S9 mix) the range of the solvent controls was from 10.6 up to 33.1 mutants per 106 cells; the range of the groups treated with the test item was from 10.5 up to 59.7 mutants per 106 cells.
EMS (150 μg/mL) and DMBA (1.1 μg/mL) were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase in induced mutant colonies.
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH and osmolarity: no relevant shift even ath the maximum concentration of the test item. The pH was adjusted with 2 N sodium hydroxide at the two highest concentrations. - Remarks on result:
- other: strain/cell type: Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79)
- Remarks:
- Migrated from field 'Test system'.
- Executive summary:
The test item was tested in an in vitro gene mutation assay in V79 cells (HPRT) according to OECD TG 476. The vehicle control and appropriate positive controls with known mutagens demonstrated the sensitivity of the test system and the activity of the metabolic activation system. No substantial and reproducible dose dependent increase of the mutation frequency was observed for the test item in the cultures with and without S9 mix when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations. Based on these results the test substance is considered to be non-mutagenic in this V79/HPRT test under the conditions tested.

- The used V79 cell line has a stable karyotype with a modal chromosome number of 22. Cells were routinely checked for mycoplasma contamination and karyotype stability.
- Evaluation criteria:
- The evaluation of results was performed as follows:
- The test item is classified as mutagenic if one of the test substance concentrations induces a micronucleus frequency that is three times higher than the micronucleus frequency of the concurrent solvent control.
- The test item is classified as mutagenic if there is a reproducible concentration-related increase in the micronucleus frequency. Such an evaluation may be considered independently of the enhancement factor for induced micronucleus frequencies.
- In the evaluation of the test results historical control data obtained in the laboratory and scientific plausibility is taken into consideration.
- Any positive test result should be evaluated for its biological relevance. - Statistics:
- So far no satisfactory mathematical methods are available for statistical analysis of mammalian cell mutagenicity experiments such as the in vitro micronucleus assay. Assessment was performed according to the evaluation criteria.
- Species / strain:
- Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79)
- Metabolic activation:

- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:

- Additional information on results:
- The results of the solvent control confirmed the spontaneous micronucleus frequency which is characteristic for V79 cells.
Appropriate positive control items (mitomycin C, vinblastine sulfate, cyclophosphamide) showed the expected increase in micronucleus frequencies which demonstrates the ability and the sensitivity of the test system to detect cytogenetic damage.
Without S9 mix relevant cytotoxic effects were observed at 1000 μg/mL and above after 4 hours treatment and at 500 μg/mL and above after 24 hours treatment. With S9 mix relevant cytotoxic effects were observed at 1000 μg/mL and above. Precipitation in the medium did not occur.
In addition, alteration in cell morphology was observed at 3000 μg/ml and above. No biologically relevant increase in the frequency of micronucleus containing V79 cells treated with Ester PSA+DEG in the absence (4 hours and 24 hours treatment) or in the presence of S9 mix (4 hours treatment). - Executive summary:
The test item was examined for mutagenic activity (chromsome breakage and misdistribution of chromosomes) in the in vitro micronucleus test using Chinese Hamster V79 cells in accordance to OECD Guideline 487. The negative control and appropriate positive controls with known mutagens demonstrated the suitability and sensitivity of the test system. The test item showed no biologically relevant increase in the frequency of micronucleus containing V79 cells in the absence (both pulse and continuous treatment) or in the presence of S9 mix (pulse treatment) when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations.

Additional information
In vitro gene mutation study in bacteria:
The test item was evaluated in an Ames Test on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA, 1537, TA 98, and TA 102, performed according to OECD TG 471. Doses of up to and including 5000 µg per plate did not produce bacteriotoxic effects. The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic without and with S9 mix in the plate incorporation as well as in the preincubation modification of the Salmonella/microsome test. Positive controls increased the mutant counts to well over those of the negative controls, thus demonstrated the system´s sensitivity.
In vitro micronucleus study:
The test item was examined for mutagenic activity (chromsome breakage and misdistribution of chromosomes) in the in vitro micronucleus test using Chinese Hamster V79 cells in accordance to OECD Guideline 487. The negative control and appropriate positive controls with known mutagens demonstrated the suitability and sensitivity of the test system. The test item showed no biologically relevant increase in the frequency of micronucleus containing V79 cells in the absence (both pulse and continuous treatment) or in the presence of S9 mix (pulse treatment) when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations.
In vitro gene mutation study in mammalian cells
The test item was tested in an in vitro gene mutation assay in V79 cells (HPRT) according to OECD TG 476. The vehicle control and appropriate positive controls with known mutagens demonstrated the sensitivity of the test system and the activity of the metabolic activation system. No substantial and reproducible dose dependent increase of the mutation frequency was observed for the test item in the cultures with and without S9 mix when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations. Based on these results the test substance is considered to be non-mutagenic in this V79/HPRT test under the conditions tested.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
No study was selected since all three in vitro mutagenicity studies were negative.
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
