Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:

- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES:
The animals received the test article once. Sampling of the bone marrow was done at 24, 48 and 72h after treatment.
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION: The animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. The femora were removed, the epiphyses were cut off and the marrow was flushed out with fetal calf serum using a 5 mL syringe. The cell suspension was centrifuged at 1500 rpm for 5 minutes and the supernatant was discarded. A small drop of the resuspended cell pellet was spread on a slide. The smear was air-dried and then stained with May-Gruenwald (MERCK, D-6100 Darmstadt, F.R.G.)/Giemsa (Gurr, BDH Limited Poole, Great Britain). Cover slips were mounted with EUKITT (KINDLER, D-7800 Freiburg F.R.G.). At least one slide was made from each bone marrow sample.
METHOD OF ANALYSIS: 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) were analysed per animal for micronuclei. To describe a cytotoxic effect the ratio between polychromatic and normochromatic erythrocytes was determined in same sample and expressed in normochromatic erythrocytes per 1000 the PCEs. The analysis was performed with coded slides. 5 animals/sex/group were evaluated as described. The remaining animal of each test group was evaluated in case an animal had died in its test group spontaneously or due to gavage error. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test article is classified as mutagenic if it induces a statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in at least one of the test points.
A test article producing no statistically significant increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes at any one of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system. This can be confirmed by means of the nonparametric Mann-Whitney test.
However, both biological and statistical significance should be considered together. - Statistics:
- nonparametric Mann-Whitney test

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
It can be stated that under the experimental conditions reported, the test article did not induce micronuclei as determined by the micronucleus test with bone marrow cells of the mouse. Therefore, the test substance is considered to be non-mutagenic in this micronucleus assay.
