Administrative data

Endpoint:
genetic toxicity in vitro
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across based on grouping of substances (category approach)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Study period:
2011
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
A reliable secondary source, summarising ISDN pharmaco-toxicological properties, was used. However the primary sources were not revisited in order to verify their contents; for this reason reliability score 2 was used. The used secondary source has been updated on January, 2011; therefore it covers the most updated literature on the substance.

Results and discussion

Remarks on result:
other: (migrated information): negative

Any other information on results incl. tables

Isosorbide mononitrate did not produce gene mutations or chromosome aberrations. The read-across approach is applied in order to transfer the isosorbide mononitrate information to isosorbide dinitrate.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

According to Directive 67/548/EEC and to Regulation (EC) n. 1272/2008, the substance should not be classified for mutagenicity.
