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.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- No indications of a clastogenic effect of 3-(dimethylamino)propylurea were found after a sinde oral treatment of 5000 mg/kg.
