Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under experimental conditions substance did not appear to induce micronuclei.
Executive summary:

Substance was investigated for its potential to induce micronuclei in polychromatic erythrocytes in mouse bone marrow. NMRI mice (5/sex/group) were given the test substance (in 1% carboxymethylcellulose) as a single oral dose at 5000 mg/kg. Bone marrow samples were scored for polychromatic erythrocytes containing micronuclei at 24, 48 and 72 hours post-dosing. The ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes indicated some cytotoxicity at the dose level used. However, the number of cells with micronuclei in the tested animals was similar that in control animals. Cyclophosphamide was used as a positive control.
