DURATION

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): trifluorthymidine
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cloning efficiency, relative growth
OTHER: During the week prior to treatment, spontaneous TK deficient mutants (TK-/-) were eliminated from the stock cultures by incubating 1.5 x 10E6 cells per 75 cm² flask (5 x 104 cells/mL) for 1 day in “THMG" medium (pretreatment medium A), and for the following 3 days in “THG" medium (pretreatment medium B). - Evaluation criteria:
- The MLTK assay is considered valid if the following criteria are met considering the international guidelines and the current recommendations of the IWGT:
- The absolute cloning efficiency obtained at the time of mutant selection (CE2) of the negative/vehicle controls should fall in the range of 65 - 120%.
- The suspension growth (SG) of the negative/vehicle controls referring to the expression period following treatment should fall in the range of 8 - 32 for 4-hour exposure and 32 - 180 for 24-hour exposure.
- The mutant frequency of the negative/vehicle controls should fall within the range of 50 - 170 x 10E-6 colonies.
- The positive controls should yield an absolute increase in total MF that is an increase above the spontaneous background MF (an induced MF [IMF]) of at least 300 x 10E-6 colonies. The small colony MF should account for at least 40% of that IMF, means a small colony IMF of at least 120 x 10E-6 colonies. Alternatively, the positive controls should induce at least 150 small colonies. The upper limit of cytotoxicity observed in the positive controls should have a relative total growth (RTG) that is greater than 10%.
- The highest applied concentration of the test substance should be 5 mg/mL, 5 μL/mL or 10 mM, unless limited by cytotoxicity or solubility of the test substance. If toxicity occurs, the highest concentration should lower the cloning efficiency 1 (CE1) or the relative total growth (RTG) to 10 to 20% of survival. If precipitation occurs, the highest evaluated concentration should be the lowest concentration where precipitation is observed by the unaided eye.
Mutagenicity criteria:
- MF exceeds a threshold of 126 mutant colonies per 10exp6 cells above the concurrent negative/vehicle control value.
- Evidence of reproducibility of any increase in mutant frequencies
- A statistically significant dose-related increase in mutant frequencies - Statistics:
- An appropriate statistical trend test (SAS procedure PROC REG; 9) was performed to assess a possible dose-related increase of mutant frequencies. The number of mutant colonies obtained for the test substance treated groups was compared with that of the respective negative/vehicle control groups. A trend was judged as statistically significant whenever the p-value (probability value) was below 0.10 and the slope was greater than 0.
However, both, biological and statistical significance has been considered together.

Any other information on results incl. tables
According to the results of the present in vitro study, the test substance did not lead to a relevant increase in the number of mutant colonies either without S9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system in two experiments performed independently of each other. The mutant frequencies at any concentration were close to the range of the concurrent negative control values and within the range of our recent negative control data set.
Unfortunately, not all acceptance criteria mentioned were fully fulfilled. In the 1st Experiment in the absence of S9 mix the absolute cloning efficiency of the vehicle control determined at the time of mutant selection (CE2) was slightly higher than the proposed upper border of 120% as recommended by IWGT. However, due to missing cytotoxicity and the fact that dose selection was based on the solubility properties of the test substance this finding has no impact on the outcome of this experiment. In addition, either in the 1st Experiment or in the 2nd Experiment in the absence of metabolic activation the corrected mutation frequencies of the vehicle controls (35.7 x 10E-6 colonies or 46.6 x 10E-6 colonies, respectively) were slightly lower than proposed by IWGT (50 – 170 x 10E-6 colonies). However, the mutation frequencies of the vehicle control groups were clearly within our laboratory’s historical negative control data range and, thus, these observations have to be regarded as irrelevant.
Finally, it has to be considered that the minor deviations from the criteria of acceptance described above have no detrimental impact on the validity of this study. The increase in the frequencies of mutant colonies induced by the positive control substances MMS and CPP clearly demonstrated the sensitivity of the test method and of the metabolic activity of the S9 mix employed. The values were within or above the range of the historical positive control data and, thus, fulfilled the acceptance criteria of this study.
