- Incubation (CO2 concentration, humidity level, temperature): The cells were cultured at 37.0 ± 1.0°C in a humidified atmosphere with 5.0 ± 0.5% CO2.
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- Type and composition of metabolic activation system:
Cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix)
- Source of S9 : Trinova Biochem GmbH, Gießen, Germany
- Method of preparation of S9 mix: S9 mix was prepared from the livers of male Sprague Dawley rats treated with an intraperitoneal injection of 500 mg/kg bw Aroclor 1254. - Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Pre-test on toxicity
With and without S9 mix: 0.03, 0.06, 0.12, 0.24, 0.48, 0.95 and 1.907 mg/mL (4 h)
Experiment I
With and without S9 mix: 0.007, 0.015*, 0.030*, 0.060*, 0.119* and 0.238* mg/mL (4 h)
Experiment II
Without S9 mix: 0.003, 0.007, 0.015, 0.030*, 0.060*, 0.119* and 0.238* mg/mL (24 h)
* Concentrations evaluated for mutation rates - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle used: acetone
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The solubility of the test item was determined in a non-GLP pre-test in culture medium (RPMI 1640) at a concentration of 19.07 mg/mL and in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethanol as well as in acetone at a concentration of 381.4 mg/mL. The test item was completely insoluble in RPMI 1640, DMSO and ethanol, but soluable in acetone.
Controls
- Untreated negative controls:
- yes
- Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
- yes
- True negative controls:
- no
- Positive controls:
- yes
- Positive control substance:
- cyclophosphamide
- methylmethanesulfonate
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration: duplicate
- Number of independent experiments: Three experiments were performed, one Experiment I and two Experiment II. In the first Experiment II various acceptability criteria were not fulfilled, therefore the experiment was considered invalid and repeated. Only the valid experiment (second Experiment II) was included in the study report.
METHOD OF TREATMENT:
- Test substance added in medium
TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 4 and 24 h
- Expression time (cells in growth medium between treatment and selection): 48 h
- Selection time: 10 - 12 days
- Method used: microtiter plates
- Number of cells seeded and method to enumerate numbers of viable and mutants cells: After the expression period, 4000 cells/well from each experimental group were seeded into 2 microtiter plates with selective medium including trifluorothymidine (TFT). The viability (cloning efficiency 2) was determined by seeding 2 cells per well into 2 microtiter plates (same medium without TFT).
- Criteria for small (slow growing) and large (fast growing) colonies: Colonies were counted manually under a binocular magnifying glass. In accordance with their size, the colonies were classified into two groups:
Less than 25% of the well’s diameter = small colony
More than 25% of the well’s diameter = large colony
SELECTION AGENT: 5 μg/mL trifluorothymidine
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth (RTG)
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
- Method: Mutant frequency (MF) - Evaluation criteria:
- Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered to be clearly positive if:
• The induced mutation frequency reproducibly exceeds a threshold of 126 colonies per 10E6 cells above the corresponding solvent control.
• The relative increase of the mutation frequency shows a dose relationship.
Providing that all acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test chemical is considered to be clearly negative if:
• The induced mutation frequency does not exceed a threshold of 126 colonies per 10E6 cells above the corresponding solvent control.
• The relative increase of the mutation frequency does not show a dose relationship. - Statistics:
- A linear regression (least squares) of the test item concentrations was performed to assess a possible dose dependent increase of mutant frequencies. With the assessment of this regression, it can be evaluated whether mutations increase with increasing dose of the test item. A p-value of 0.05 or lower (significance level 95%) is considered as critical.
The positive controls were tested at one concentration only, therefore, no dose-dependency could be evaluated. The chi-square test was used.

- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Data on pH: The pH values of solutions that were used in the preliminary cytotoxicity test were determined to exclude a negative influence on the assay. There was no critical change in pH value, therefore a negative influence on the assay was excluded.
- Data on osmolality: The osmolality of solutions that were used in the preliminary cytotoxicity test were determined to exclude a negative influence on the assay. There was no critical change in osmolality, therefore a negative influence on the assay was excluded.
- Precipitation and time of the determination: Precipitation (oily drops) of the test item was visible in both experiments at the maximum concentration of the test item (0.238 mg/mL).
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: A pre-test was performed in order to determine the concentration range applicable for Experiment I and II. Seven test item concentrations in the range of 0.03 - 1.907 mg/mL were tested for 4 hours in the presence and absence of metabolic activation. Cytotoxicity (relative cloning efficiency) was determined for treated cells in comparison to controls. Precipitation was noted at 0.24 mg/mL and above with and without S9 mix. There was no cytotoxicity at any concentration, neither with nor without S9 mix.
STUDY RESULTS : There was no statistically significant or reproducible dose-dependent increase in the number of mutant colonies observed in any experiment at any of the tested concentrations, neither in the presence, nor in the absence of metabolic activation. No relevant shift of the ratio of small versus large colonies was observed up to the maximal concentration of the test item. For details on gene mutation results and cytotoxicity in the main mutation experiments please refer to Table 2 under "Any other information on result incl. tables".
In total three experiments were performed (1x Experiment I and 2x Experiment II). The first Experiment II was invalid, since various acceptability criteria were not fulfilled. The invalid experiment was repeated and is reported as Experiment II in the study report. The invalid Experiment II is not included in the study report.
HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: Please refer to Table 1 under "Any other information on materials and methods incl. tables".
- Positive historical control data: The mutation frequencies of both positive controls were within the range of the historical control data.
- Solvent historical control data: The mutation frequency of the solvent control acetone was outside the range of the historical control data. The historical control data for acetone only comprise two independent studies, therefore an untreated medium control was added to demonstrate that no deleterious or mutagenic effects were induced by acetone.
- Untreated negative historical control data: The mutation frequency of the untreated negative control was within the range of the historical control data.
