Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:

Bone marrow of the femurs was prepared and erythrocytes were examined

Details of tissue and slide preparation:

CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: the maximum dose of 2000 mg/kg body weight was well tolerated by males and females in a pre-test; in the main study only males were used.

TREATMENT AND SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields): animals were dosed twice with a 24 hour interval; samples were prepared 48 hours after the first dose.

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION: A drop of the bone marrow cell suspension in fetal calf serum was placed on the end of a clean slide, which was previously immersed in a 1:1 mixture of 96% (v/v) ethanol/ether and cleaned with a tissue. The slides were marked with the study identification number and the animal number. The drop was spread by moving a clean slide with round-whetted sides at an angle of approximately 45° over the slide with the drop of bone marrow suspension. The preparations were air-dried, fixed for 5 min in 100% methanol and air-dried overnight. At least two slides were prepared per animal.
The slides were automatically stained using the "Wright-stain-procedure" in a HEMA-tek slide stainer. This staining is based on Giemsa. The dry slides were automatically embedded in a 1:10 mixture of xylene/pertex and mounted with a coverslip in an automated cover slipper.

Evaluation criteria:

A micronucleus test is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The concurrent negative control data are considered acceptable when they are within the 95% control limits of the distribution of the historical negative control database.
b) The concurrent positive controls should induce responses that are compatible with those generated in the historical positive control database.
c) The positive control item induces a statistically significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. The positive control data will be analyzed by the Students t test (one-sided, p < 0.05) in case of homogeneous variances or by the Welch t test in case of inhomogeneous variances (one-sided, p < 0.05).
A test item is considered positive in the micronucleus test if all of the following criteria are met:
a) At least one of the treatment groups exhibits a statistically significant (one-sided,
p < 0.05) increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes compared with the concurrent negative control
b) The increase is dose related when evaluated with a trend test.
c) Any of the results are outside the 95% control limits of the historical control data range.
A test item is considered negative in the micronucleus test if:
a) None of the treatment groups exhibits a statistically significant (one-sided, p < 0.05) increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes compared with the concurrent negative control.
b) There is no concentration-related increase when evaluated with a trend test.
c) All results are within the 95% control limits of the negative historical control data range

Statistics:

ToxRat Professional v 3.2.1 (ToxRat Solutions® GmbH, Germany) was used for statistical analysis of the data.
