Treated on two consecutive days, and mice sacrificed on the third day.


DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
Briefly, both femurs were removed from each treated mouse and the proximal ends were cut to expose the bone marrow, which was then aspirated with fetal bovine serum into a centrifuge tube. The cells were collected by centrifugation and slides were prepared. After fixation in methanol, the slides were stained with acridine orange for about 1-2 minutes.

- Solubility: no data
- Clinical signs of toxicity in test animals: no evidence of toxicity (extent of examination unclear from report)
- Evidence of cytotoxicity in tissue analyzed: no data


RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY
- Induction of micronuclei (for Micronucleus assay): Percentage PCEs with micronuclei was 0.22% for vehicle control, 0.14, 0.18 and 0.25% for DINP 1 at 500, 1000, and 2000 mg/kg bw/day, respectively, and 2.2% for cyclophosphamide at 20 mg/kg bw/day.
- Ratio of PCE/NCE (for Micronucleus assay): about 1:1 in all groups
- Statistical evaluation: No statistically significant increases in percentage of PCEs with micronuclei in DINP groups compared to vehicle control.
Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative
No in vivo genotoxicity data are available on S278. No chromosome aberrations (increased frequency of micronuclei) were seen in the bone marrow erythrocytes of male mice (5/dose) given the structurally related compound, di(isononyl) phthalate (DINP 1; CAS 68515-48-0), by stomach tube on two consecutive days at up to 2000 mg/kg bw/day.
Executive summary:

No in vivo genotoxicity data are available on S278. A micronucleus test was performed to assess the potential of the structurally related compound, di(isononyl) phthalate (DINP 1; CAS 68515-48-0), to induce chromosome aberrations in the bone marrow of mice.

 

Briefly, young male mice (5/dose) were administered DINP 1 by stomach tube at 0, 500, 1000, or 2000 mg/kg bw/day on two consecutive days. On the third day the animals were sacrificed, and slides were prepared from bone marrow erythrocytes. A total of 1000 erythrocytes were counted from each animal, and the total numbers of polychromatic (PCE) and normochromatic (NCE) erythrocytes were tabulated. A total of 1000 PCEs were evaluated for the presence of micronuclei in the treated group, and compared to that from the vehicle control group (no further details given on identity and dose of vehicle control) and the positive control group (receiving cyclophosphamide at 20 mg/kg bw/day).

 

Frequency of micronucleus formation was not elevated at any dose in the treated animals compared to the vehicle controls, and there was no evidence of toxicity (examination not described) at up to 2000 mg/kg bw/day. Treatment with the positive control induced a statistically significant increase in micronuclei formation, confirming the sensitivity of the testing procedure.

 

In conclusion, DINP 1 was inactive in an in vivo micronucleus test in which male mice (5/dose) were administered this phthalate by stomach tube at up to 2000 mg/kg bw/day on two consecutive days, and bone marrow erythrocytes were assessed for micronuclei formation on the third day.

Briefly, young male mice (5/dose) were administered DINP 1 by stomach tube at 0, 500, 1000, or 2000 mg/kg bw/day on two consecutive days. On the third day the animals were sacrificed, and slides were prepared from bone marrow erythrocytes.

Frequency of micronucleus formation was not elevated at any dose in the treated animals compared to the vehicle controls, and there was no evidence of toxicity (examination not described) at up to 2000 mg/kg bw/day. Treatment with the positive control induced a statistically significant increase in micronuclei formation, confirming the sensitivity of the testing procedure.

 

In conclusion, DINP 1 was inactive in an in vivo micronucleus test in which male mice (5/dose) were administered this phthalate by stomach tube at up to 2000 mg/kg bw/day on two consecutive days, and bone marrow erythrocytes were assessed for micronuclei formation on the third day.
