Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Doses / concentrations
Remarks:
Doses / Concentrations:

Basis:

No. of animals per sex per dose:
5
Control animals:
yes, concurrent vehicle
Positive control(s):
cyclophosphamide
- Justification for choice of positive control(s):
- Route of administration: oral
- Doses / concentrations: 20/80 mg/kg b.w. (24 hrs post exposure period)

Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
bone marrow of the femora; 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes per animal were studied for the presence of micronucleus.
Evaluation criteria:
Micronucleus
- are round, oval or crescent-shaped
- have a precise contour
Application of high doses of clastogenic substances can cause the appearence of several almond- or ring-shaped micronuclei.
- are uniformly coloured
- have a diameter of approximately 1/20 to 1/5 of an erythrocyt
- Es ist meistens nur ein Mikrokem vorhanden .
- Nach Behandlung mit hohen Dosen von Substanzen, die Chromosomenbrüche erzeugen, können
bei einigen Erythrozyten auch mehrere Mikrokeme auftreten, die auch mandelförmig oder ringförmig
sein können

PCE = polychromatic erythrocyts (2000 were scored for micronuclei)
NCE = normochromatic erythrocyts
The NCE/PCE ratio (as an indicator of cytotoxicity) is based on the scoring of 1000 erythrocyts
* = significantly different from the control, but within historical control data (0.6 to 1.2)
