yes, concurrent vehicle

Positive control(s):

cyclophosphamide
- Route of administration: oral gavage

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

bone marrow

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:
Observe toxicity/mortality in a dose range finder,

TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES: single treatment, sampling was 24, 48,72 h after treatment


DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
The marrow was flushed from the bone and transferred to centrifuge tubes containing 3 - 5 ml bovine serum (one tube
for each animal). Following centrifugation to pellet the tissue, the supernatant was removed by aspiratioil and portions of the pellet were spread on slides and air dried. The slides were fixed in methanol and stained in May-Grunwald solution followed by Giemsa. The air-dried slides were coverslipped using Depex mounting medium.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
1000 polychromatic /per animal were scored for micronuclei

Evaluation criteria:

positive:
does dependent increase
statistical significant increase in comparason to the control
reproducable result

Statistics:

Dunnett's test

Additional information on results:

RESULTS OF RANGE-FINDING STUDY
- Dose range: 500-5000
- Solubility: in corn oil
- Clinical signs of toxicity in test animals: mortality, lethargy


RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY
- Induction of micronuclei (for Micronucleus assay): no
- Ratio of PCE/NCE (for Micronucleus assay):
Range was from 0.42 -0.79 for treated animal. a significant dosedependen decrease of the PCE/NCE ratio was seen at least for the females after 48 h.
- Appropriateness of dose levels and route: Mortality proved the maximal doses wer tested. dose dpendent decrease of the PCE/NCE ration proved cytotoxicity and that the examined organ (bone marrow) was reached.
- Statistical evaluation: Dunnett test

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Mutagenicity of dimethanol-1,4 -cyclohexane divinylether was investigated in a in-vivo micronucleus test in mice. The study was according to OECD no. 474 and conducted in compliance with GLP. 5 male and  female mice per dose and time point received single oral doses of 0, 300, 600 and 1200 mg/kg 1,4 dimethanol cyclohexane divinylether in corn oil. Erythrocytes from bone marrow were harvested  24, 48 and 72 h post application. There was no induction of micronucleus formation. From a dose dependent decrease of the PCE/NCE ratio it can be concluded that test substance has reached bone marrow cells. Mortality and lethargy of animal receiving 1200 mg/kg demonstrate that the maximal tolerable oral dose was tested. Negative and positive controls gave expected results. Therefore the study is valid without restrictions.

Conclusion

dimethanol-1,4 -cyclohexane divinylether is non-klastogenic under the conditions of this test.
