Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
Blood cells of bone marrow
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
Bone marrow was harvested from the shafts of both femurs. In a siliconized pipette filled with approx. 0.5 μL rat serum the bone marrow was drawn up. Small drops of the mixture were transferred on the end of a slide, and the preparations were air-dried. After 3 hrs, the slides were stained in undiluted May-Gruenwald solution for 2 min then in May-Gruenwald solution/water 1/1 for 2 min and then in Giemsa's, 40% for 20 min. After being rinsed in methanol 55% for 5-8 s and washed off twice in water, they were left immersed in water for approx. 2 min. After rinsing with distilled water and air-drying, the slides were cleared in Xylol and mounted in Eukitt.
Evaluation criteria:
1000 bone marrow cells each were scored per animal and the following anomalies were registered: a) Single Jolly bodies, b) fragments of nuclei in erythrocytes, c) micronuclei in erythroblasts, d) micronuclei in leucopoietic cells, e) polyploid cells.
Statistics:
Significance of differences between doses were assessed by chi-square test

Results and discussion

Test results
Sex:
male/female
Genotoxicity:
negative
Toxicity:
no effects
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Negative controls validity:
not applicable
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
One female animal of the low-dose group died after the 1st application. Due to lack of dose-dependency and affection of a single animal, a treatment-related but not a substance-related effect is assumed.

Any other information on results incl. tables

In all treatments with the substance and in the negative control, the mean percentage of anormal cells was 0.1 while the positive control substance caused 10% abnormal cells, indicating the absence of a genotoxic effect in this test system and a suitable sensitivity of the test system (see table).
