RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The doses for the Mixed Population Method (24 hours sampling time) were determined from an appropriate range-finding cytotoxicity test with cultures exposed to a wide dose range of the test article, i.e. 1.0 µg/ml - 1500 µg/ml culture medium both without S-9 mix (continuous treatment of 24 hours) and after adding a metabolizing system (pulse treatment of 4 hours). In this pretest, various parameters were checked for all or at least some selected doses. As a rule, the highest dose 1 concentration for nontoxic test substances should not exceed a limit of 5 mg/ml or 10 mM, as recommended by the EEC, OECD and by an ICPEMC Task Group for in vitro studies using mammalian cells. Doses > 1500 µg/ml led to an inhomogeneous suspension which could not administered any longer. On the basis of the findings from the pretest, 100 µg/ml (0.136 mM) without S-9 mix and 1000 µg/ml (1.362 mM) with metabolic activation were selected as the top doses. This selection was based on the cell count, cell attachment, solubility of the test substance and quality of the cells.
RESULTS:
- The negative controls (vehicle controls) gave frequencies within the range expected for the V79 cell line.
- Both of the positive control chemicals for clastogenicity, i.e. ethyl methane sulphonate and cyclophosphamide, led to the expected increase in the number of cells containing micronuclei both in the MP and MSO.
- Micronucleus Frequency: An increase in the number of micronucleated cells was not found either without S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.
- Mitotic Index (MI): no suppression of the mitotic activity was observed under any of the experimental conditions.
- Proliferation Index (PI): a weak cytotoxic response was observed only without S-9 mix at 100 µg/ml.
- Cell Count: a dose-dependent growth inhibition was observed under all experimental conditions from about 100 µg/ml - 125 µg/ml onward.
- Micronucleus Frequency: An increase in the number of micronucleated cells was not observed either without S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- On the basis of the results of the present study, the test substance did not cause any relevant increase in the number of cells containing micronuclei either without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system. These findings were confirmed in two modified versions of the in vitro micronucleus assay carried out independently of each other.
Thus, under the experimental conditions of this assay, the test substance is considered not to be a chromosome-damaging (clastogenic) agent, nor does it induce numerical chromosomal aberrations (aneugenic activity) under in vitro conditions in V79 cells. - Executive summary:
The test substance was assessed in V79 cells in vitro for possible clastogenic or aneugenic activity leading to inducement of micronuclei both in the presence and in the absence of a metabolizing systemn.
According to an initial range-finding cytotoxicity test tor the determination of the experimental doses and taking into account the cytotoxicity actually found in the main experiment, the following doses were evaluated:
Mixed Population Method (MP):
24 hours exposure, 24 hours harvest time, without S-9 mix: 0; 6.25; 12.5; 25; 50; 100 µg/ml
4 hours exposure, 24 hours harvest time, with S-9 mix: 0; 31.25; 62.5; 125; 250; 500 µg/ml
Mitotic Shake Off Method (MSO) (24 hours mitotic shake Off):
For confirmation of the results of the 1st experiment (Mixed Population Method), the following doses were analyzed:
24 hours exposure, 24 hours mitotic shake off, 27 hours harvest time, without S-9 mix: 0; 6.25; 12.5; 25; 50; 100 µg/ml
4 hours exposure, 24 hours mitotic shake off, 27 hours harvest time, with S-9 mix: 0; 125; 250; 500; 1,000; 1,500 µg/ml
Test substance precipitation was observed macroscopically depending on the test conditions and on the time of observation from about 200 µg/ml culture onward.
1,000 cells were analyzed for micronuclei for each culture, i.e. 2,000 cells for each test group.
The negative controls (vehicle controls) gave frequencies within the range expected for the V79 celI line.
Both of the positive control chemnicals for clastogenicity, i.e. ethyl methane sulphonate and cyclophosphamide, led to the expected increase in the number of cells containing micronuclei both in the MP and MSO.
On the basis of the results of the present study, the test substance did not cause any relevant increase in the number of cells containing micronuclei either without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system. These findings were confirmed in two modified versions of the in vitro micronucleus assay carried out independently of each other.
