Body weight at start of treatment: 177.2-281.3 g
Acclimatization: Under laboratory conditions, after health examination.Only animals without any visible signs of illness will be used for the study.
Conditions: Air-conditioned with target for room temperature 22+/- 3°C, relative humidity 30-70 % and approximately 10-15 air changes per hour. Room temperature and humidity were monitored continuously and values outside of these occasionally occurred, following room These transient variations are considered not to have any influence on the study and, therefore, these data are not reported but are retained at RCC.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In conclusion, it be stated that the test described and the experimental conditions the test item did not induce chromosome mutations as determined by the chromosome aberration test with bone marrow cells of the rat.
Therefore, the test substance is considered to be non-mutagenic in this chromosome aberration assay in vivo.
Executive summary:

This study was  to investigate the potential of A130 to induce chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells of the rat.

The test item was formulated in physiological (0.9 %) NaCl-solution. The volume asminstered intraperitoneally was 10 ml/kg body weight (b.w.). The animals were treated once. Twenty-four  or 48 h, respectively, after the treatment the bone marrow cells were collected for chromosome aberration analysis. Ten animals (5males, 5 females) per test group were evaluated for the occurrence of cytogenetic darnage. Per animal 100 well spread metaphases were scored for gaps, breaks, fragments, deletions, multiple aberrations, and chromosomal disintegrations.

The test item was investigated in this cytogenetic assay at a single dose of 50  mg/kg b.w..

The dose for the cytogenetic assay was determined in pre-experiments for toxicity . 50 mg/kg b.w. were estimated as to be close to the maximum tolerated dose.

As compared to the vehicle control a reduction of the mitotic indices could be observed after treatment with the test item, indicating that the test item was cytotoxic item at the indicated dose in the bone marrow.

No biologically relevant or statistically significant increase in the frequency of aberrant cells occurred after treatment with the test item as compared to the vehicle control.

An appropriate reference mutagen (cyclophosphamide) was used as positive control and showed a distinct and statistically  increase of induced aberration frequency.
