Basis:

No. of animals per sex per dose:

2 groups, each comprising 5 males and 5 females and one additional group composed of 3 males and 3 females.

Control animals:

yes, concurrent vehicle

Positive control(s):

25 mg/kg Cyclophosphamide (2 administrations separated by 24 hours)

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

- Analysis of bone marrow smears: For each animal, the micronuclei were counted in 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes; the polychromatic (PE)/normochromatic (NE) erythrocyte ratio was established by scoring a total of 1000 erythrocytes (PE+NE ). At each sampling time, the mean number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MPE) and the PE/NE ratio given for each animal of the treated groups, are compared to the simultaneous vehicle groups.

Evaluation criteria:

The results were considered positive if:
- A statistical significant increase in the number of MPE for at least one of the sampling time is recorded when compared to the vehicle groups.
-This increase should double the number of MPE of the laboratory historical data.

Statistics:

X² test for MPE; student's t test for PE/NE ratio

Results and discussion

Test results

Sex:

male/female

Genotoxicity:

negative

Toxicity:

yes

Remarks:

24 hours after the 2nd administration, the PE/NE ratio decreased significantly (p < 0.001) from that of the vehicle control groups. 48 hours after the 2nd administration, the ratio had decreased but not significantly.

Vehicle controls validity:

valid

Positive controls validity:

valid

Additional information on results:

MORTALITY: 2 animals were found dead 48 hours after the 2nd injection, 2 of the supplementary animals replaced those which died.

CLINICAL SIGNS: Piloerection and hypokinesia were observed.

GENOTOXIC EFFECTS: In all groupstreated with the TS the mean value of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes were similar to those of their respective vehicle groups at each sampling time, and no statistical significant differences weres observed. Moreover, 24 hours after the 2nd administration, the PE/NE ratio decreased significantly (p<0.001) from that of the respective vehicle control groups, showing the toxic effect of the TS to bone marrow cells. 48 hours after the 2nd administration, the ratio had decreased but not statistically significantly due to the fact that the ratio of one female was high compared to the ratios of the other animals, despite the poor number of PE scorable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
Under the experimental conditions used, the test substance did not induce cytogenetic damage to the bone marrow cells of mice when treated twice separeted by 24 hours by intraperitoneal route at 75 mg/kg in the micronucleus test.

Executive summary:

The study is reliable without restrictions (GLP guideline study according to OECD: Micronucleus test in mice).

The mice of the treated groups (2 groups, each comprising 5 males and 5 females and one additional group composed of 3 males and 3 females) received 2 intraperitoneal administrations of the TS at 75 mg/kg separated by 24 hours using a dose volume of 10 ml/kg. The animals of the vehicle control groups (2 groups, each comprising 5 males and 5 females) received 2 intraperitoneal administrations of a physiological solution separated by 24 hours. The animals of the positive control group (5 males and 5 females) received 2 intraperitoneal administrations of cyclophosphamide at 25 mg/kg separated by 24 hours. The animals of the treated and vehicle control groups were sacrificed 24 and 48 hours after the 2nd treatment and the animals of the positive control group were sacrificed 24 hours after the 2nd treatment. Bone marrow smears were prepared. For each animal, the micronuclei were counted in 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes. The polychromatic (PE) and normochromatic (NE) erythrocyte ratio was established by scoring a total of 1000 erythrocytes (PE + NE).

In the two vehicle control groups, the mean values of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MPE) were within the range of historical data. Cyclophosphamide induced a highly significant increase (p< 0.001) in the number of MPE, indicating the sensitivity of the test system under the experimental conditions chosen. In addition, the PE/NE ratio decreased significantly (p<0.001) showing the toxic effect of this substance to bone marrow cells. In all groups treated with the TS, the mean values of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes were similar to those of their respective vehicle groups at each sampling time, and no statistically significant differences were observed. Moreover, 24 hours after the 2nd administration, the PE/NE ratio decreased significantly (p<0.001) from that of the respective vehicle control groups, showing the toxic effect of the test substance to bone marrow cells. Forty-eight hours after the 2nd administration, the ratio had decreased but not significantly.

Conclusion: The TS did not induce cytogenetic damage to the bone marrow cells of mice when treated twice separated by 24 hours by

intraperitoneal route at 75 mg/kg in the micronucleus test.
