Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
No classification required
Executive summary:

No mutagenicity assay was performed with ZK 5624 (gestonorone acetate), results of studies with a different ester of gestonorone (gestonorone caproate, ZK 5623) are regarded as representative:

Results of a dominant-lethal test in mice with ZK 5623 did not indicate a mutagenic potential up to the highest tested dose of 200 mg/kg.
