Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Test substance was evaluated for its mutagenic potential in B6C3F1 male Mouse by In vivo Mammalian Somatic cell study. The test result was consider to be negative as there was no significant chromosome damage in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes.
Executive summary:

In the study test substance was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential. For this purpose wasIn vivo Mammalian Somatic cell study in B6C3F1 male Mouse. The test substance was administrated by Intraperitoneal Injection by using corn oil as vehicle. The test substance was exposed at the concentration of 0, 4.687, 9.375, 18.75, 37.5,75,150 and 300 mg/Kg for 72 hours. The dose was administrated thrice in 72 hours .The bone marrow cells were stained and observed for chromosome damage. No significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in treated animals was observed. Therefore test result was consider to be negative as there was no significant chromosome damage in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. Hence the substance cannot be classified as mutant In Vivo.
