Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
The substance doesn't induce micronucleus in the mouse
Executive summary:

The micronucleus test has been performed in mouse (males and females) with the substance by ip injection of 200 to 2000 mg/kg. The micronucleus were determined at 24 or 48 h after treament for the highest tested dose and at 24 h only for 200 and 670 mg/kg. Sign of toxicity were observed at 2000 mg/kg.

In the conditions of this test, the substance didn't induce positive results.
