Results and discussion

Additional information on results:
Doses producing toxicity:
In a preliminary experiment 100% of the animals died at 5000mg/kg, while 83% died at 2000mg/kg and 17% at 1500mg/kg.

At the 1000mg/kg dose level one animal (17%) showed pilo-erection and at 500mg/kg no effects were found. In the final experiment at 1000mg/kg no animals died.

Ratio polychromatic/normochromatic: a 1000mg/kg b.w.: not significantly different from the negative controls.

Observations:
The mean number of micronuclei per group and the mean ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythro's were calculated. The test groups
showed no increase in the frequency of micronuclei. In negative control animals, the incidence of micronuclei was found to be in the range of
historical data. In positive control animals, a decrease in the ratio polychr.lnorm. erythro's and a statistically significant increase in the number of
micronuclei.

It is concluded that this test is valid and that the substance can be considered as not mutagenic under the experimental conditions of the
micronucleus test.
