Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

solid

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: unspecified
Vehicle:
Deionised water
Details on exposure:
Deionised water was used as vehicle control. The volume administered orally was 20 mg/kg b.w.. 24 h and 48 h after a single administration of the test article the bone marrow cells were collected for micronuclei analysis.
Ten animals (5 males, 5 females) per test group were evaluated for the occurrence of micronuclei. 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) per animal were scored for micronuclei.

Genotoxicity:
negative
Toxicity:

Negative controls validity:
not applicable
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
After treatment with the test article the number of NCEs was not increased as compared to the mean value of NCEs of the corresponding vehicle control thus indicating that YELLOW MGi 1301 had no cytotoxic effectiveness in the bone marrow.
In comparison to the corresponding vehicle controls there was no enhancement in the frequency of the detected micionuclei at any preparation interval after administration of the test article and with any dose level used.
40 mg/kg b.w. cyclophosphamide administered per os was used as positive control which showed a statistically significant increase of induced micronucleus frequency.
