Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
equivalent or similar to guideline
Guideline:
OECD Guideline 477 (Genetic Toxicology: Sex-linked Recessive Lethal Test in Drosophila melanogaster)
Version / remarks:
The guideline is not specified but given the scientific description of the study, performance similar to OECD 477 is suggested.
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Method: Woodruff, RC et al., Env. Mutagen., 6, 189-202.
Adult Canton-S males were subjected to a 3 day feeding exposure. They were mated to Basc females using a 2 to 3 day brooding pattern for a total of
three broods spanning 7 days. If the feeding sex-linked recessive lethal (SLRL) test was negative, an injection exposure was performed. As in the feeding exposure, a 2 to 3 day brooding pattern for three broods was used.
GLP compliance:
not specified
Type of assay:
Drosophila SLRL assay

Examinations

Evaluation criteria:
A minimum of approximately 5,000 chromosomes were scored in each of the treated and concurrent control groups, unless the mutant frequency exceeded 1%. Clusters were identified using the Poisson distribution (Owen, 1962) and were removed before analysis.
Statistics:
The statistical evaluation of a SLRL test included a comparison with the concurrent solvent control using the normal approximation to the binomial distribution, as presented by Margolin et al. (1983), as well as a comparison with the historical control as described by Mason et al. (1992). In order to be considered mutagenic, the mutant frequency in the treated sample must exceed 0.15% with a P value of less than 0.05, or the treated frequency must exceed 0.1% with a P value of less than 0.01. If the treated frequency was between 0.1% and 0.15% and the P value was between 0.1 and 0.01; or if the treated frequency was higher than 0.15%, and the P value was between 0.1 and 0.05 the assay was considered equivocal. All other assays were considered negative.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions tested the test substance was not mutagenic in a Drosophila SLRL assay.
Thus, MIPA is not considered to be genotoxic.
