Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- only bone marrow is examined
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- The animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The femora were removed, the epiphyses were cut off and the marrow was flushed out with fetal calf serum, using a 5 ml syringe. The cell suspension was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 10 minutes and the supernatant was discarded. A small drop of the unfixed, sesuspended cell pellet was spread on a slide. The smear was air dried and then stained with May-Grünwald/Giemsa. Cover slips were mounted with Eukitt. At least one slide was made from each bone marrow sample.
- Evaluation criteria:
- Evaluation of the slides was performed using Nikon microscopes with 100x oil immersion objectives. 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) were analysed per animal for micronuclei. To describe a cytotoxic effect the ratio between polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes was determined in the same sample and expressed in normochromatic erythrocytes per 1000 the PCEs. The analysis was perforemed with coded slides.
A test article is classified as mutagenic if it induces either a statistically significant 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.
A test article producing neither a statistically significant dose-related increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes nor a statistically significant and reproducible positive response at any of the test points is considered non mutagenic in this system.
This can be confirmed by means of the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test.
However, both biological and statistical significance should be considere together. - Statistics:
- Statistical significance at the five per cent level (p < 0.05) was evaluated by means of the non-parametric Mann-Whitney test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
It can be stated that during the study described and under the experimental conditions reported, the test article did not induce micronuclei as determined by the micronucleus test in the bone marrow cells of the mouse. - Executive summary:
The test article 2-(phenylmethoxy)naphthalene was assessed in the micronucleus assay for its potential to induce micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) in the bone marrow of the mouse.
Tes test article was formulated in corn oil. This vehicle was used as negative control. The volume administered intraperitoneally was 10 ml/kg bw. 24 h and 48 h after a single application of the test article the bone marrow cells were collected for micronuclei analysis.
Ten animals (5 males/ 5 females) per test group were evaluated for the occurrence of micronuclei. 1ßßß polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) per animal were scored fo rmicronuclei.
To describe a cytotoxic effect due to the treatment with the test article the ratio between polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes (NCE) was determined in the sam esmaple and reported as the number of NCE per 1000 PCE.
The following dose levels of the test article were investigated:
24 h preparation interval: 200, 670, and 2000 mg/kg bw.
48 h preparation interval: 2000 mg/kg bw.
In a pre-experiment 2000 mg/kg bw of the test article were administered. The animals expressed slight toxic reaction. The mean number of normochromatic erythrocytes was not increased after treatment with the test article as compared to the mean values of NCEs of the corresponding negative controls, indicating that 2-(phenylmethoxy)naphthalene had no cytotoxic properties.
In comparison to the corresponding negative controls there was no significant enhancement in the frequency of the detected micronuclei at any preparation intervals and dose levels after application of the test articl. The mean values of micronuclei observed after treatment with 2-(phenylmethoxy)naphthalene were in the same range as compared to the negative control values.
30 mg/kg bw cycloposphamide administered intraperitoneally was used as positive control which showed a distinct increase of induced micronucleus frequency.
