METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 4h at 37°C
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): 8, 24h (main study), 30h

SPINDLE INHIBITOR (cytogenetic assays): Colcemid

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: duplicate cultures

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 1 x 10e6 cells were seeded in 20ml medium (containing 0.2ml testitem in solvent, and 1mL S9 mix if metabolic activation)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index and cell survival

Evaluation criteria:

The mitotic index was determined by counting 1000 cells per culture.
Chromosomes of approximately 200 metaphases per concentration, 100 metaphases from each of two parallel cultures, were
examined for structural changes.
classes of aberrations are characterized as follows:
Gaps
Break
Fragment
Deletion
Exchange
Multiple abberation

Statistics:

The statistical analysis of the results was performed by pair-wise comparison of the numbers of
metaphases with aberrations (including and excluding gaps) and of metaphases with exchanges among 200 cells for treatment
and solvent control groups.
The statistical analysis followed the recommendations outlined by Richardson et al. (1989)
Fisher exact test was used for the statistical evaluation.

Not considered to be clastogenic for mammalian cells with and without metabolic activation

Executive summary:

Chinese hamster ovary cells were treated with confidential substance name at the concentrations of 10, 40 and 160 µg/ml medium without S9 mix and at the concentrations of 7.2, 36 and 180 µg/ml with S9 mix. Confidential substance name induced cytotoxic effects in cells exposed to the highest doses with and without metabolic activation at the early harvest time of 8 hours after the beginning of the treatment. The mitotic indices were markedly reduced to 66.7 and 43.2 % relative to control cells.

With one exception, no statistically significant or biologically relevant increases of numbers of metaphases with aberrations were detected 8, 24 or 30 hours after the beginning of the four hour treatment with the test substance with and without S9 mix (Tables 2-5). A statistically significant increase of the numbers of cells with aberrations was calculated for cells exposed to the dose of 180 µg/ml with metabolic activation and the harvest time of 8 hours. However, the absolute number of cells with aberrations (3.5 %) was within the normal range as compared to the values for other solvent controls within this study and for other studies performed in this laboratory. This statistically significant increase was therefore considered to be caused by the unusually low number of cells with aberrations in the corresponding solvent control. This statistically significant result is therefore considered not to be biologically relevant.

The positive controls mitomycin C and cyclophosphamide induced clear clastogenic effects and demonstrated the sensitivity of the test system.
