DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative plating efficiency (preliminary toxicity test); mitotic index of 500 cells (main experiment)

OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: yes
Evaluation criteria:
The test substance was classified as mutagenic if a significant, concentration-related increase in the proportion of structural aberrations was induced or a significant positive response for at least one test concentration was found.
The test substance was classified as non-mutagenic in this test system, if neither a significant concentration-related increase in the proportion of structural chromosomal aberrations nor a significant positive response at any of the analysed test substance concentrations was detected.

Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79)
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
cytotoxicity
Remarks:
Preliminary cytotoxicity test: ≥ 5 µg/mL (-S9) and ≥ 100 µg/mL (+S9); main experiment: at 160 µg/mL (+S9, all 3 fixation times)
Vehicle controls validity:
not examined
Untreated negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
In the experiment on plating efficiency, strong toxic effects were noticed at ≥ 5 µg/mL without metabolic activation and ≥ 100 µg/mL with S9 mix.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
In the cytogenetic experiment, the test substance was applied up to 16 µg/mL without and 160 µg/mL with metabolic activation. In the experiment without S9 mix, no substantial reduction of the Mitotic Index (MI) was observed at the highest concentration. With metabolic activation, there was no cellular growth to be detected at 160 µg/mL at all three fixation times, and nearly no mitoses to be detected at 80 µg/mL 7 h after treatment. No substantial reduction of the MI was determined at 80 µg/mL after incubation periods of 20 and 28 h. Treatment concentrations for chromosome analysis were selected by evaluating the effect of the test substance on the mitotic index. The highest concentrations for chromosome analysis from the 7, 20 and 28 h harvesting time points were those that resulted in 50-80% reduction of mitotic index or the highest test concentration if no cytotoxicity was observed.
