Genetic toxicity in vitro

Description of key information

In vitro genetic toxicity studies have been conducted on the test item, and one substance deemed suitable for read-across. In the bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) it was concluded that the substance is not mutagenic in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. In the mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration test, the test item was concluded to be negative for mammalian chromosome aberration and no signs of toxicity or cytotoxicity, based on the P/N ratio, were observed. In the in vitro mammalian cell transformation assay, conducted on the read-across substance N,N''-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)bis[N'-octylurea], it was determined that the substance is not mutagenic in the TK mutation test system.

Additional information

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test item was determined to be not mutagenic in the presence or absence of metabolic activation in an Ames test. and was determined to be negative for mammalian chromosome aberration. Additionally in the mammalian bone marrow chromosome aberration test, no signs of toxicity or cytotoxicity, based on the P/N ratio, were observed.

In the in vitro mammalian cell transformation assay, conducted on the read-across substance N,N''-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)bis[N'-octylurea], it was determined that the substance is not mutagenic in the TK mutation test system. N,N''-(methylenedi-4,1-phenylene)bis[N'-octylurea] was determined to be a worst-case structural analogue read-across source substance due to the shorter C8 chain length present. Additionally, the test item does not have a harmonised classification for genetic toxicity.
