Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
other: mostly positive

16 in vitro tests suggest that the substance has genetic toxicity
Executive summary:

genetoxic:

In vitro, the substance reacts with DNA.

DNA damages are caused in various organisms, cells, and test systems e.g.

- Mutation is caused by the substance in bacteria and in plant cells.

- Mitotic recombination is caused by the substance in yeast.

- Chromosomal aberrations, sister chromatid exchanges and cell transformation are caused by the substance In cultured mammalian cells.

- DNA strand breaks are caused by the substance in vivo in rat brain cells.
