Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vitro cytogenicity / chromosome aberration study in mammalian cells
Remarks:
Type of genotoxicity: chromosome aberration
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: see 'Remark'
Remarks:
GLP - Guideline study, tested with the source substance CAS 112-85-6. In accordance to the ECHA guidance document "Practical guide 6: How to report read-across and categories (March 2010)", the reliability was changed from RL1 to RL2 to reflect the fact that this study was conducted on a read-across substance.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Water solubility: the test material was insoluble in water and soluble in alcohol, ether, chloroform and acetone.
- Precipitation: in the high dose group on the slide of continuous exposure precipitation was observed.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
No cytotoxicity was observed in a preliminary test at concentrations of 4.05, 13.5, 45.0, 150 and 500 μg/mL. Therefore, cytotoxicity was tested at: (6 h exposure): 272, 453, 756, 1260, 2100, 3500 μg/mL with and without metabolic activation, (24 and 48 h exposure): 272, 453, 756, 1260, 3500 µg/mL without metabolic activation.
Result of cytotoxicity test 50 % cytotoxicity concentration:
24 h exposure: 2703 μg/mL
48 h exposure: 2248 μg/mL
6 h exposure: not observed
Based on this cytotoxicity test, test concentration of the main test were determined.

Remarks on result:
other: all strains/cell types tested
