Genetic toxicity in vitro
Description of key information
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for Basic violet 2. The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with S9 metabolic activation system. Basic violet 2 was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
Based on the predicted result it can be concluded that the substance is considered to be not toxic as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.

Additional information
Prediction model based estimation and existing data for the target chemical and its read across was reviewed to determine the mutagenic nature of Basic violet 2. The studies are as mentioned below:
Gene mutation in vitro:
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for Basic violet 2. The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. Basic violet 2 was predicted to not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
Ames assay was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of Basic violet 2 (SCCS, 2011). The study was performed using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535, TA1537 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. The test chemical was dissolved in DMSO and used at dose levels of 1, 10, 100, 300, 1000 and 5000 μg/plate in experiment 1 and 3, 10, 30, 100, 300, 1000 and 3000 μg/plate in experiment 2. Direct plate incorporation method with 48 h incubation without and with S9-mix was performed. Toxicity observed as growth inhibition, clearing of the background lawn and strong reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants, was found in the first experiment in the absence of S9-mix for TA98 and TA102 (1000 and 5000 μg/plate), TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 (100, 1000 and 5000 μg/plate); in the presence of S9-mix for TA98 (5000 μg/plate), TA100 and TA1535 (100, 1000 and 5000 μg/plate) and TA1537 and TA102 (1000 and 5000 μg/plate). This toxicity was observed also in the second experiment. An increase in the number of revertants was observed on TA102 strain only in the presence of S9-mix at non-toxic concentrations. However, the effect never reached a factor of 2 compared to the control. This effect was therefore not considered biologically relevant. Under the experimental conditions used Basic Violet 2 was not mutagenic in this gene mutation tests in bacteria.
In another study mentioned in SCCS (2011), In vitro mammalian cell gene mutation assay was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of Basic violet 2. The study was performed using mouse lymphoma assay at the tk locus in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system as per the OECD guideline 476. The test chemical was dissolved in DMSO and used at dose levels 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1 and 1.5 μg/ml without S9-mix and 0.156, 0.313, 0.625, 1.25, 2.5 and 2.75 with S9-mix in experiment 1 and 0.025, 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3 and 0.4 μg/ml without S9-mix and 1.5, 2, 2.5, 2.6 and 2.7 μg/ml with S9-mix in experiment 2.The doses were selected on the basis of dose range finding study.In the main test cells were treated for 3 h or 24 h (experiment 2 with S9-mix only) followed by an expression period of 7-9 days to fix the DNA damage into a stable tk mutation. No biologically relevant and dose dependent increases in the mutant frequency following treatment with Basic Violet 2 were found at any dose level, in the absence or presence of S9-mix at any treatment time. Under the experimental conditions used, Basic Violet 2 was not mutagenic in the mouse lymphoma assay at the tk locus.
Disk-diffusion procedure was performed by Rosenkranz and (Chemical mutagens, 1980) to determine the mutagenic nature of Magenta ABN (C.I. 42520). Filter disc impregnated with known amount of test agent dissolved in water or DMSO was deposited on the surface of the agar. After incubation at 37˚C in the dark for 7 -12 hr, the diameters of the zones of growth inhibition are determined. On occasion, the edges of the zones of growth inhibition are not well delineated; for this reason, it is convenient to allow the plates to remain at room temperature (~23°C) for an additional 24 hr and to measure zones of growth inhibition once more. Magenta ABN did not induce gene mutation in E. coli pol A+and pol A1-strain and hence is negative for gene mutation in vitro.
The data for the target chemical was supported by using structurally and functionally similar read across chemical. In one such study by Mortelmans et al (Environmental Mutagenesis, 1986), Gene mutation toxicity study was performed for n-hexane (RA CAS no 110 -54 -3) to evaluate its mutagenic nature. The study was performed as per the preincubation protocol using Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA98 both in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system at doses of 0, 1, 3, 10, 33, 100, 333 µg/plate. 95% ethanol was used as the vehicle. The plates were incubated for 48 hrs after 20 mins preincubation before the evaluation of the revertant colonies could be made. n- Hexane did notinduce mutation in theSalmonella typhimurium strain TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA98 both in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence the chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
In another study for structurally and functionally similar read across chemical, Gene mutation toxicity study by Araki et al (Mutation Research, 1994) was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of read across chemical 2-butene (RA CAS no 107 -01 -7). The study was peformed as per the gas exposure method using S. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and E. coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. Self-combustible 2-butene was diluted using HEPA-filtered air. The test substance in a gas cylinder was collected in a 20-L gas sampling bag. Another 20-L gas sampling bag was connected to a flow meter and a pump using vinyl tubing in order to collect a fixed amount of dilution gas. A fixed volume of the test substance gas was pumped out from the gas sampling bag which contained the test substance gas, and pumped into another gas sampiing bag (gas dilution bag), which had been filled with a fixed amount of dilution gas, using the flow meter and the pump. The gas dilution bag which then contained both the test substance gas and the dilution gas was squeezed by hand in order to mix both gases thoroughly. The concentration used in the test was calculated from the volume of test substance vapor and dilution gas in the gas exposure bag at the exposure temperature. The bacterial plates were separately placed, upside down without their lids, in a plate holder according to their concentration level and the method used (metabolic activation or the direct method). The plate holder was placed in a 10-1 gas sampling bag through an opening on one side of the bag made by scissors. Then the bag was closed by folding the opening 2 or 3 times and sealed with adhesive tape. The air in the bag was removed using a pump in order to check that the bag was air-tight. A flow meter and a pump were connected to the gas dilution bag, and about 1 liter of the test substance gas at an adjusted concentration level was pumped into the gas exposure bag and then the gas in the gas exposure bag was sucked out by pump quickly and the remaining air in the gas exposure bag washed out. After washing out the air, the gas exposure bag was filled with the test substance gas at an adjusted concentration level at a fixed amount per plate. The bacterial plates in the gas exposure bag filled with the test substance gas were kept at 25 or 37°C for a fixed period. After the termination of exposure, the test substance gas in the gas exposure bag was removed. Then sterile air was pumped into the gas exposure bag through a HEPA filter in order to completely replace the gas with air, the seal was peeled off and the plate holder was taken out of the bag. The plates were left to stand in a safety cabinet for 30 min in order to evaporate the test substance, and then the lids of the plates were replaced.The plates with lids were turned upside down, transferred to a container or vinyl bag separately according to their concentration levels and the method used (metabolic activation or direct method) and were then incubated further for a total exposure period and incubation period of 48 h. After incubation revertant colonies were counted. 2-butene did not induce gene mutation in S. typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and E. coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
Gene mutation in vivo:
Based on the prediction done using the OECD QSAR toolbox version 3.3 with log kow as the primary descriptor and considering the five closest read across substances, gene mutation was predicted for Basic violet 2. The study assumed the use of male Sprague Dawley rats. Basic Violet 2 was predicted to not induce gene mutation in male Sprague Dawley rats and hence, according to the prediction made, it is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vivo.
In vivo mammalian erythrocytes micronucleus test was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of Basic violet 2 (SCCS, 2011). The study was performed using 5 males and 5 females Swiss CD-1 Mice at dose levels of 0, 3, 6 or 12 mg/Kg bw for 24 and 48 hrs. Three toxicity studies with decreasing doses were performed in order to identify the doses to be used in the main study. Animals were inspected for signs of reaction to treatment daily throughout the study. Bone marrow cells were collected 24 h or 48 h (control and highest dose only) after dosing and stained with May-Gruenwald and Giemsa. Toxicity and thus exposure of the target cells was determined by measuring the ratio between polychromatic and total erythrocytes (PCE/PCE+NCE) over the negative control value. In the micronucleus test no animals died. Animals from the 6 mg/Kg bw treatment group showed piloerection; those from the high dose group hunched posture, swollen abdomen, closed eyes, piloerection and pink spots in the cage litter indicative for excretion of coloured urine. A reduction in the PCE/(PCE+NCE) ratio was observed for both sexes and both time points. Biological relevant increases in the number of bone marrow cells with micronuclei compared to the concurrent vehicle controls were not found at any dose tested, either 24 or 48 h after treatment or for males and females.Basic Violet 2 did not induce an increase in bone marrow cells with micronuclei and, consequently, Basic Violet 2 is not genotoxic (clastogenic and/or aneugenic) in bone marrow cells of mice.
Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across, Basic violet 2 does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro and in vivo. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Based on the data available for the target chemical and its read across, Basic violet 2 (CAS no 3248 -91 -7) does not exhibit gene mutation in vitro and in vivo. Hence the test chemical is not likely to classify as a gene mutant as per the criteria mentioned in CLP regulation.
