Preparation of cultures
Cell cultures were treated with Colchicine (0.2 μg/mL) two hours prior to harvest. Following the selection time, cells were swollen with 0.075 M KCl hypotonic solution, then washed in fixative (approx. 10 min. in 3:1 mixture of methanol: acetic-acid until the preparation becomes plasma free) and dropped onto slides and air-dried. The preparation was stained with 5 % Giemsa for subsequent scoring of chromosome aberration frequencies. For control of bias, all slides were coded and scored blind. - Evaluation criteria:
- The Chromosome Aberration Assay is considered valid if following criteria are met:
– the number of aberrations found in the negative and /or solvent controls falls within the range of historical laboratory control data.
– the positive control items produce biologically relevant increases in the number of cells with structural chromosome aberrations. - Statistics:
- no details given

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
The substance, when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations both with and without metabolic activation, did not induce structural chromosome aberrations in this test in Chinese Hamster lung cells. It is therefore considered as not clastogenic in this system. - Executive summary:
The substance has been tested in a Chromosome Aberration Assay in V79 cells using OECD test methods.
There were no biologically significant increases in the number of cells showing structural chromosome aberrations, either in the absence or in the presence of metabolic activation, up to and including cytotoxic concentrations. There were no statistical differences between treatment and control groups and no dose-response relationships were noted. There were no biologically relevant increases in the rate of polyploid or endoreduplicated metaphases.
The substance is therefore considered as not clastogenic in this test system.
