Results and discussion
Test results
- Sex:
- male/female
- Genotoxicity:
- positive
- Toxicity:
- not specified
- Additional information on results:
- The frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was significantly increased in both sexes at the highest doses (750 mg/kg for male and 1,000 mg/kg for female), compared to control. In addition, it showed a significant tendency to increase with dose-dependency. Inhibition of bone marrow cell proliferation was observed at the highest doses in both sexes under the test conditions.
Conclusion: Micronucleus test in mice by oral administration is positive but only at the highest doses.
