Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The in-vivo clastogenicity of Hostapon SG was investigated in micronucleus study in bone marrow in mice. No significant clastogenicity was found.

Executive summary:

The in-vivo clastogenicity of Hostapon SG was investigated in micronucleus study in bone marrow in mice. Male mice were treated intraperitoneally at concentrations of 400, 200, 100 and 50 mg/kg bw, twice with a 24 hours interval. One death was observed in the 200 mg/kg body weight group (1/6 cases), and four deaths were observed in the 400 mg/kg body weight group (4/6 cases). The surviving animals were killed at 24 hours after the final treatment and the bone-marrow smears were prepared. The proportion of polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) to total erythrocytes was lower in the 100 and 200 mg/kg bw groups, indicating toxic effect in the bone marrow tissue. The percentage of micronucleated polychromatic ethythrocytes (MNPCE) in the treated group was not significantly higher than that in the negative control group.

Hostapon SG is not clastogenic in in-vivo test system.
