Examinations

Tissues and cell types examined:
bone marrow cells
Details of tissue and slide preparation:
CRITERIA FOR DOSE SELECTION:
In a preliminary dose range finding study, oral administration of 2000 mg Reactive Navy Blue per kg body weight did not cause any toxic effects in male and
female mice over an observation period of 7 days. This dose level was therefore the regularly limit dose, selected as the highest dose for the main study.

DETAILS OF SLIDE PREPARATION: Animals were killed by carbon dioxide asphyxiation 24 or 48 hours after dosing. For each animal, about 3 ml fetal bovine serum was poured into a centrifuge tube. Both femora were removed and the banes freed of muscle tissue. The proximal ends of the femora were opened and the bone marrow flushed into the centrifuge tube. A suspension was formed. The mixture was then centrifuged for 5 minutes at approx. 1200 rpm, after which almost all the supernatant was discarded. One drop of the thoroughly mixed sediment was smeared onto a cleaned slide, identified by project code and animal number and air-dried for about 12 hours.

Staining was performed as follows:
-5 minutes in methanol
-5 minutes in May-Grünwald' s solution
-brief rinsing twice in distilled water
-10 minutes staining in 1 part Giemsa solution to 6 parts buffer solution,
-pH 7.2 (Weise)
-rinsing in distilled water
-drying
-coating with Entellan

METHOD OF ANALYSIS:
2000 polychromatic erythrocytes were counted for each animal. The number of cells with micronuclei was recorded, not the number of individual micronuclei. In addition, the ratio of polychromatic erythrocytes to 200 total erythrocytes was determined.
Evaluation criteria:
A substance is considered as positive if there is a significant dose-related increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes for at least one of the time points compared with the concurrent negative control group. A test substance producing no significant dose-related increase in the number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
Statistics:
A one-sided Wilcoxon-Test was evaluated to check the validity of the study

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Reactive Navy FC63805 did not cause an increase in micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes and is not mutagenic in the micronucleus test under the conditions.
Executive summary:

In a NMRI mouse bone marrow micronucleus assay, 5 animals/sex/dose were treated via oral gavage with Reactive Navy FC63805 at doses of 0, 200, 600 or 2000 mg/kg bw.  Bone marrow cells were harvested at 24 or 40 hours post-treatment.  The vehicle was deionized water.

There were no signs of toxicity during the study. Reactive Navy FC63805 was tested at an adequate dose based on previous studies. The positive control induced the appropriate response. There was no significant increase in the frequency of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes in bone marrow.

This study is classified as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OECD 474 for in vivo cytogenetic mutagenicity data.
