Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

Erythrocytes from bone marrow tissue.

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:
A limit test at the maximum recommended dose of 2000 mg/kg bw was performed based upon the results from the range-finding test.

TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields):
Immediately following termination (i.e. 24 or 48 hours following dosing), the femurs from all animals were dissected and aspirated with foetal calf
serum. The bone marrow was extracted and smears prepared following centrifugation and re-suspension of bone marrow tissue.

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
Bone marrow smears were air-dried, fixed in absolute methanol, stained in May-Grüwald/Giemsa staining solution, allowed to air-dry and
cover-slipped using mounting medium.

METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
Stained bone marrow smears were coded and examined blindly using light micropsy at x1000 magnification. The incidence of micronucleated cells
per 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE-blue stained immature cells) per animal was scored. In addition, the number of normochromatic
erythrocytes (NCE-pink stained mature cells) associated with 1000 erythrocytes was counted and further scored for incidence of mcronuclei.
The ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes (PCE/NCE ratio) was calculated together with appropriate group mean values and
standard deviation.

Evaluation criteria:

A statistically significant dose-responsive and toxicologically relevant increase in the number of micronucleated PCE erythrocytes in
comparison with corresponding control group, indicates a positive mutagenic response.

A statistically significant lower PCE/NCE ratio when compared to corresponding control group indicates a positive response for bone marrow
toxicity.

Statistics:

The data was analysed following a square root (x +1) transformation using Student's t-test (two tailed) and any significant results were confirmed using the one way analysis of variance.

Additional information on results:

Range-finding test:
No evidence of toxicity (premature death or clinical signs) was observed in animals dosed with TS-ED 532 via the oral and intraperitoneal route
at dose levels up to the maximum recommended dose (2000 mg/kg bw).
No marked difference was observed between male and female mice.

Main test:
Based on the results of the range-finding test a limit test at 2000 mg/kg bw was performed in male mice. The intraperiotoneal route of administration
was used to ensure maximal systemic exposure.

There were no differences in the frequency of micronucleated PCEs or in the PCE/NCE ratios for the TS-ED 532 test groups (24 or 48 hours), when
compared to their concurrent control groups.

The positive control group induced a statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated PCEs, hence confirming the the sensitivity of the test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
TS-ED 532 was considered to be non-genotoxic in vivo in the micronucleus test. It did not induce damage to chromosomes or aneuploidy.

Executive summary:

TS-ED 532 was tested for the potential to induce damage to chromosomes or aneuploidy when administered to mice in the micronucleus test (OECD 474). Initially, a range-finding test was performed to establish dose levels, route of administrations and differences in toxic responses between the sexes.

The main test was conducted as a limit test using groups of seven male mice at the maximum recommended dose (2000 mg/kg bw). The intraperitoneal route was used to maximise systemic TS-ED 532 exposure. The animals were killed 24 or 48 hours later, the bone marrows were extracted, and smears were prepared and stained. Polychromatic (PCE) and normachromatic erythrocytes (NCE) were scored for the presence of micronuclei. Two vehicle groups of 7 mice each were given a single intraperitoneal dose of arachis oil and killed 24 or 48 hours later. One positive control group of 5 mice were given a single oral dose of cyclophosphamide and killed after 24 hours.

TS-ED 532 did not induce a statistically significant decrease in the PCE/NCE ratio in the 24 or 48 hours test groups when compared to their concurrent control groups. TS-ED 532 did not induce a statistically significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated PCEs when compared to their concurrent control groups. The positive control group induced a marked increase of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes hence confirming the sensitivity of the tests system.

TS-ED 532 was found to be non-genotoxic in mice when tested in the micronucleus test.
