DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cloning efficiency - Evaluation criteria:
- 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, or 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 within the laboratory´s historical control data range, 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 was considered together.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The range finding pre-experiment was performed using a concentration range of 10.6 to 1360 µg/mL (->10 mM) to evaluate toxicity in the presence (4 hours treatment) and absence (4 hours and 24 hours treatment) of metabolic activation.
Relevant cytotoxic effects indicated by a relative suspension growth below 50 were noted at 1360 µg/mL with and without metabolic activation following 4 and 24 hours treatment.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: Solvent and positive control were within the historical control data range
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
Relevant cytotoxic effects were observed in the first experiment at 340 µg/mL and above in culture II in the absence of metabolic activation.
In the presence of metabolic activation cytotoxic effects were noted at 1020 µg/mL in culture II and at 1360 µg/mL in both parallel cultures.
In the second experiment cytotoxic effects occurred at 340 and 425 µg/mL in culture I and at 680 µg/mL and above in both cultures without metabolic activation (24 hours treatment).
With metabolic activation relevant cytotoxicity was noted at 1020 and 1360 µg/mL in both parallel cultures. - Remarks on result:
- other: all strains/cell types tested
- Remarks:
- Migrated from field 'Test system'.
Any other information on results incl. tables
No substantial and reproducible dose dependent increase of the mutation frequency was observed up to the maximum concentration with and without metabolic activation. The mutation frequency remained well within the historical range of solvent controls.
