Examinations
- Tissues and cell types examined:
- Measuring the increase of the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes per 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes in mouse bone marrow.
- Details of tissue and slide preparation:
- CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION: Selection of an adequate dose for the Micronucleus test was based on a preliminary study (see additional information on results).
SAMPLING TIMES ( in addition to information in specific fields):
Sampling of the bone marrow was done 24 and 48 72 hours after treatment.
DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION:
The animals were sacrificed by cervical dislocation. Both femurs were removed and freed of blood and muscles. Both ends of the bone were shortened until a small opening to the marrow canal became visible. The bone was flushed with approx. 2 mL of fetal calf serum. The cell suspension was collected and centrifuged at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes and the supernatant was removed. A drop of serum was left on the pellet. The cells in the sediment were carefully mixed with the serum by aspiration with the remaining serum. A drop of the cell suspension was placed on the end of a slide. The drop was spread by moving a clean slide with roundwhetted sides. The preparations were air-dried, fixed for 5 min in methanol and air-dried overnight. The slides were automatically stained using the Wright-stain-procedure in an Ames HEMA-tek slide stainer. The dry slides were dipped in xylene before they were embedded in MicroMount and mounted with a coverslip.
METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
Slides were scored at a magnification of 1000x. The number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) was counted in 2000 polychromatic erythrocytes. The ratio polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes was determined by counting and differentiating the first 1000 erythrocytes at the same time. Micronuclei were only counted in polychromatic erythrocytes. Averages and standard deviations were calculated. - Evaluation criteria:
- The test substance was considered positive if:
It induced a biologically as well as a statistically significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (at any dose or at any sampling time) in the combined data for both sexes or in the data for male or female groups separately.
The test substance was considered negative if:
None of the tested concentrations or sampling times showed a statistically significant increase in the incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes neither in the combined data for both sexes nor in data for male or female groups separately. - Statistics:
- Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test, two-sided test.

- Dose range study 1: 2000, 200, 500, 1000, 1500, 1250 and 1150 mg/kg body weight
- Dose range study 2: 1000 and 750 mg/kg body weight (performed in response to the death of 12 animals at 1150 mg/kg body weight in main study 1)
- Solubility: the test substance was formulated in physiological saline
- Clinical signs of toxicity in test animals: see "Tables dose range finding in the attached background material
RESULTS OF DEFINITIVE STUDY, see "Any other information on results incl. tables"
- Mortality and systemic toxic signs: The animals of the groups treated with 575 and 290 mg DHX2/kg body weight and the animals of the negative and positive control groups showed no abnormalities. The following clinical observations were made in the groups treated with 1150 mg DHX2/kg body weight: During the first hour after dosing nine male and three female animals were lethargic and showed ventral recumbency. One female animal also had their eyes closed. Six male and twelve female animals died. Within 19 hours after dosing the surviving animals recovered from the treatment.
750 mg DHX2/kg body weight: During the first hour after dosing all animals were lethargic and five animals also showed ataxia. Within 18 hours after dosing all animals recovered from the treatment.
- Induction of micronuclei (for Micronucleus assay): No increase in the mean frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was observed in the polychromatic erythrocytes of the bone marrow of DHX2 treated animals compared to the vehicle treated animals.
- Ratio of PCE/NCE (for Micronucleus assay): The animals of the groups, which were treated with DHX2, showed no decrease in the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes, which reflects a lack of toxic effects of this compound on the erythropoiesis. The animals of the groups treated with cyclophosphamide showed an expected decrease in the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes, demonstrating toxic effects on erythropoiesis.
- As animals died it is clear the test substance as systemically available, which means it was present in the blood. Bone marrow is a well perfused tissue and the test substance is considered to have reached the bone marrow.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- An in vivo micronucleus study with DHX2 in the mouse (5 animals per sex/dose, intraperitoneal injection) was conducted according to OECD 474 and GLP guidelines. It is concluded that DHX2 is not clastogenic in the micronucleus test.
- Executive summary:
An in vivo micronucleus study with DHX2 in the mouse (5 animals per sex/dose, single intraperitoneal injection) was conducted according to OECD 474 and GLP guidelines. As deaths occurred, the test substance was systemically available and as bone marrow is a well-perfused tissue, the test substance is considered to have reached the bone marrow. The animals treated with DHX2, showed no decrease in the ratio of polychromatic to normochromatic erythrocytes, which reflects a lack of toxic effects of this compound on the erythropoiesis.
No increase in the mean frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes was observed in the polychromatic erythrocytes of the bone marrow of DHX2 treated animals compared to the vehicle treated animals. It is concluded that DHX2 is not clastogenic in the in vivo micronucleus test.
