Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Toxicological information

Genetic toxicity: in vivo

Currently viewing:

Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vivo mammalian somatic cell study: cytogenicity / bone marrow chromosome aberration
Remarks:
Type of genotoxicity: chromosome aberration
Type of information:
migrated information: read-across from supporting substance (structural analogue or surrogate)
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Comparable to guideline study with acceptable restrictions (only male animals were tested; mitotic index is based on 500 cell counts instead of 1000).

Administration / exposure

Route of administration:
oral: gavage
Vehicle:
0.85 % saline
Details on exposure:
5 animals per dose group; observation 6, 24 and 48 hours after administration. Bone marrow cell preparations were made and 50 cells per animal were counted in metaphase for aberrations. For negative controls (0.85 % saline) 3 animals were doses and examined 6, 24, and 48 hours after administration, respectively; positive controls (0.3 mg/kg triethylene melamine) were also run in parallel (5 animals, which were killed 48 h after administration).
Testing of the highest dose of 5000 mg/kg was performed separately at a later date.
Duration of treatment / exposure:

Any other information on results incl. tables

4.24 - 425 mg/kg: The negative controls and the 3 compound-treated groups were within the normal limits of breaks observed (0-3%). The mitotic indices were in good agreement except for the 425 mg/kg dose group at 24 h which was slightly but not significantly, depressed. In the positive control group 5% of the cells with severe damage (> 10% aberrations/cell) and 1% of the cells with pulverized chromosomes were observed.
The 5000 mg/kg dose group differed not significantly from control neither in variety nor in number of these aberrations.
