Test material information

Constituent 1

Reference substance name:

DL-bornan-2-one

EC Number:

244-350-4

EC Name:

DL-bornan-2-one

Cas Number:

21368-68-3

IUPAC Name:

1,7,7-trimethylbicyclo[2.2.1]heptan-2-one

Test animals

Species:

mouse

Strain:

B6C3F1

Sex:

male/female

Details on test animals or test system and environmental conditions:

The NTP also routinely conducts peripheral blood micronucleus tests on mice that are treated in the 13-week toxicity studies as part of the bioassay program

Administration / exposure

Duration of treatment / exposure:

treatments are administered at 24 hr.

No. of animals per sex per dose:

there are normally 5 male animals per treatment group

Examinations

Statistics:

in the micronucleus test, animals are treated with a chemical and then the frequency of micronucleated cells is determined at some specified time after treatment. If a treated group of animals shows significantly higher frequencies of micronucleated cells than do the untreated control animals, then the chemical is considered to be capable of inducing structural and/or numerical chromosomal damage.

Results and discussion

Additional information on results:

After a 24-hour exposure to the camphor, no dose-group of either sex showed a ~ignificant increase in micronucle iscompared to the control.
