Results and discussion

Test results
Key result
Sex:
male/female
Genotoxicity:
negative
Remarks:
No indications of a clastogenic effect of 3-(dimethylamino)propylurea were found after a sinde oral treatment of 5000 mg/kg.
Toxicity:
no effects
Remarks:
No indications of a clastogenic effect of 3-(dimethylamino)propylurea were found after a sinde oral treatment of 5000 mg/kg.
Vehicle controls validity:
not specified
Negative controls validity:
valid
Remarks:
Negative and positive controls were sacrificed after 24 hours only.
Positive controls validity:
valid
Remarks:
Cyclophosphamide, the positive control, had a clear clastogenic effect, as can be seen fiom the biologically relevant increase in polychromatic erythrocytes with micronuclei. An inhibition of erythropoiesis was not found here.
