DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: CBPI (cytokinesis-block proliferation index) - Evaluation criteria:
- EVALUATION
Evaluation of the slides was performed using NIKON microscopes with 40 x objectives. The micronuclei were counted in cells showing a clearly visible cytoplasm area. Evaluation of micronuclei was performed according to Countryman and Heddle (1976). At least 1000 binucleate cells per culture were scored for cytogenetic damage on coded slides. The frequency of micronucleated cells was reported as % micronucleated cells. CBPI was determined in 500 cells per culture and cytotoxicity is expressed as % cytostasis. A CBPI of 1 (all cells are mononucleate) is equivalent to 100 % cytostasis.
INTERPRETATION
Providing that all of the acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test item is considered to be clearly negative if, in all of the experimental conditions examined:
- None of the test item concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent solvent control
- There is no concentration-related increase
- The results in all evaluated test item concentrations should be within the range of the laboratory historical solvent control data
The test item is then considered to be unable to induce chromosome breaks and/or gain or loss in this test system.
Providing that all of the acceptability criteria are fulfilled, a test item is considered to be clearly positive if, in any of the experimental conditions examined:
- At least one of the test item concentrations exhibits a statistically significant increase compared with the concurrent solvent control
- The increase is concentration-related in at least one experimental condition
- The results are outside the range of the laboratory historical solvent control data
When all of the criteria are met, the test item is then considered able to induce chromosome breaks and/or grain or loss in the test system. - Statistics:
- Statistical significance will be confirmed by using the Chi-squared test (ɑ <0.05) using the validated R Script CH12.Rnw for those values that indicate an increase in the number of cells with micronuclei compared to the concurrent solvent control.
- Species / strain:
- other: human lymphocytes
- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Genotoxicity:
- negative
- Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
- cytotoxicity
- Vehicle controls validity:
- valid
- Untreated negative controls validity:
- not examined
- Positive controls validity:
- valid
- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: none observed
- Effects of osmolality: none observed
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: yes, 10 concentrations of the test item separated by no more than a factor of √10 and a solvent and positive control. All cell cultures were set up in duplicate. Exposure time was 4 hrs (with and without S9 mix). The preparation interval was 40 hrs after start of the exposure.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: yes - Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
Decan-1,2-diol, is considered to be non-mutagenic in the in vitro micronucleus test, when tested up to cytotoxic or the highest evaluable concentrations. - Executive summary:
The test item decan-1,2-diol, dissolved in DMSO, was assessed for its potential to induce micronuclei in human lymphocytes in vitro in the absence and presence of metabolic activation by S9 mix, in two independent experiments according to OECD 487 guideline.
The test item did not induce micronuclei as determined by the in vitro micronucleus test in human lymphocytes under the experimental conditions reported. Therefore, decan-1,2 -diol is considered to be non-mutagenic in the in vitro micronucleus test, when tested up to cytotoxic or the highest evaluable concentrations.

Additional information
The test item decan-1,2-diol, dissolved in DMSO, was assessed for its potential to induce micronuclei in human lymphocytes in vitro in two independent experiments according to OECD 487 guideline. The test item did not induce micronuclei as determined by the in vitro micronucleus test in human lymphocytes under the experimental conditions reported. Therefore, decan-1,2 -diol is considered to be non-mutagenic in the in vitro micronucleus test.
Decan-1,2-diol did not show any evidence of genotoxicity in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 TA 100 and TA 102, in the presence and absence of a metabolising system. Furthermore, the test item did not induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus in V79 cells, in the presence and absence of a metabolising system.
Therefore, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic.
Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
Of the three key in vitro genetic toxicity studies that have been conducted with decan-1,2-diol, it is the cytogenicity study in human lymphocytes that is considered to be the most relevant for this endpoint principally as a result of the use of human cells for the assay and the fact that the endpoint is the most severe (chromosome damage/disruption). The other two studies examine the potential for a mutagenic response either in bacterial cells or in non-human mammalian cells.
Justification for classification or non-classification
Negative results were produced in an in vitro cytogenicity study in mammalian cells, in a gene mutation study in mammalian cells and also in a gene mutation study in bacterial cells. Therefore, no classification is required for decan-1,2 -diol for this endpoint.
