Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Versatic 10 does not induce chromosome aberrations.
Executive summary:

The test substance Versatic 10 (neodecanoic acid) was examined for its potential to induce structural chromosome aberrations in cultured human lymphocytes in both the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system (S9 mix), in compliance with OECD guideline 473. 

 

Two independent chromosome aberration tests were conducted in both the absence and presence of S9. In the absence of S9, cells were exposed to the test substance continuously for 24 or 48 hours. In the presence of the S9, cells were exposed to the test substance for 3 hours and harvested at 24 or 48 hours later. The choice for the highest concentrations scored was based on toxicity. The test substance was dissolved in DMSO.

 

In neither chromosome aberration assay, Versatic 10 did not induce a statistically significant increase in the percentage of cells with structural chromosome aberrations at any of the concentrations and time points analyzed. The positive controls gave appropriate responses.

 

It is concluded that Versatic 10 is not clastogenic under the conditions used in this study.
