DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: revertant colony number and inspection of the bacterial background lawn ? - Evaluation criteria:
- Acceptance criteria
The study was considered valid if:
- the number of revertant colonies of the negative (solvent) and positive controls were in the historical control range in all strains of the main tests
- at least five analyzable concentrations were presented in all strains of the main tests
Evaluation criteria
When the test substance shows a biologically relevant and dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies of more than two times (TA 98, TA 100, and WP2 uvrA) or three times (TA 1535 and TA 1537) compared to that of the solvent control, the response is judged to be positive. Additionally, the positive response should be reproducible for at least one of the dose groups and should occur in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation. A statistical method may be used as an aid in evaluating the test results but should not be the only determining factor for a positive response.
The test item was considered to have shown no mutagenic activity in this study if it produces neither a dose-related increase in the number of revertants nor a reproducible biologically relevant positive response at any of the dose groups, with or without metabolic activation. - Statistics:

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index; relative cell density
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: Yes
If observed, structural chromosomal aberrations, including breaks, fragments, deletions, exchanges and chromosomal disintegration were recorded. Gaps were recorded but not included in the calculation of the aberration rates. - Evaluation criteria:
- A test substance was considered positive (clastogenic) in the chromosome aberration test if:
- a clear and dose-related increase in the number of cells with aberrations,
- a biologically relevant response for at least one of the dose groups, which is higher than the laboratory negative control range (0.0% - 4.0% aberrant cells (with and without metabolic activation)) was observed.
A test item is considered to be negative if there is no biologically relevant increase in the percentage of aberrant cells above concurrent control levels, at any dose group. Although most experiments will give clearly positive or negative results, in some cases the data set will preclude making a definitive judgement about the activity of the test substance. - Key result

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: cloning efficiency; relative total growth - Evaluation criteria:
- A test is considered to be negative if there is no biological relevant increase in the number of mutants. There are several criteria for determining a positive result:
- a repdoucible three times higher mutation frequency than the solvent control for at least one of the concentrations;
- a concentration related increase of the mutation frequency; such an evaluation may be considered also in the case that a three-fold increase of the mutant frequency is not observed;
- if there is by chance a low spontaneous mutation rate in the corresponding negative and solvent controls a concentration related increase of the mutations within their range has to be discussed.
According to the OECD guidelines, the biological relevance of the results is the criterion for the interpretation of results, a statistical evaluation of the results is not regarded as necessary. - Key result

Additional information
Genetic toxicity
Justification for read-across
There are data available regarding genetic toxicity in bacteria for Polyaldo 2-1-IS (CAS 73296-86-3). In addition, read-across from an appropriate substance is conducted in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex XI, 1.5. in order to fulfil the standard data requirements defined in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VIII, 8.4. Structural similarities and similarities in properties and/or activities of the source and target substance are the basis of read-across. A detailed justification for the analogue read-across approach is provided in the technical dossier (see IUCLID Section 13).
As only data on genetic toxicity in bacteria is available for Polyaldo 2-1-IS (CAS 73296-86-3), information available for the analogue substance Di(isooctadecanoic) acid, diester with oxydi(propanediol) (CAS 67938-21-0) are taken into account to fulfill the standard data requirements defined in Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006, Annex VIII, 8.4.
Genetic toxicity in bacteria (Ames)
CAS 73296-86-3
The test item was investigated for mutagenicity to bacteria (Ames test) according to OECD guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP (Orovecz, 2016). The Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 100, TA 98 and E. coli WP2 were exposed to concentrations ranging from 5 - 5000 µg/plate in DMF (N,N-Dimethylformamide) with and without the addition of a metabolic activation system (cofactor-supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of male rats, treated with phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone) in two independent assays with triplicates each. The experiments were conducted according to the plate incorporation (1stexperiment) and preincubation (2ndexperiment) methodology. Cytotoxicity was observed in tester strain TA 1535 in the presence of S9-mix, where the number of revertant colonies decreased to less than half compared to solvent control (53%) in the 2ndexperiment at 5000 μg/plate. None of the observed revertant colony numbers were above the respective biological threshold value. There were no dose-related trends and no indication of any treatment effect. Precipitate/slight precipitate was detected on the plates in all examined strains with and without metabolic activation at least at the highest concentration tested. The reference mutagens showed the expected increase in the number of revertant colonies. Based on these results, the test item was considered to be not mutagenic to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
CAS 67938-21-0
Supportive information is available from the RA substance Di(isooctadecanoic) acid, diester with oxydi(propanediol) (CAS 67938-21-0). The mutagenic potential was tested in a Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay equivalent to OECD guideline 471 and GLP (Müller, 1994). The following strains were used: TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100. Tester strains were incubated with test material concentrations of 4 - 5000 µg/plate in acetone with and without the addition of a metabolic activation system (cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of male rats, treated with Aroclor 1254 (500 mg/kg bw)). Two independent experiments were performed with triplicates each according to the plate incorporation methodology. No toxicity of the test substance was observed. Visible precipitation of the test compound on the plates has been observed at 2500 µg/plate and above. Positive control materials induced significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies indicating the satisfactory performance of the test and the activity of the metabolizing system. No increase in the frequency of revertant colonies compared to concurrent negative controls was observed in all strains tested, neither in the presence nor in the absence of metabolic activation. Thus, the test substance was considered to be not mutagenic to bacteria under the conditions of the test.
Genetic toxicity (cytogenicity) in mammalian cells in-vitro
CAS 67938-21-0
An in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test was performed with the test substance in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79) according to OECD guideline 473 and GLP (Zeller, 2013). Duplicate cultures of human lymphocytes were evaluated for chromosome aberrations in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (rat liver S9-mix). In the first experiment cells were exposed for 4 h to test substance concentrations of 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/mL without metabolic activation and to test substance concentrations of 100, 316, 1000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 µg/mL with metabolic activation (cofactor-supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of male rats, treated with phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone). In the second experiment cells were exposed for 20 hours to 10.0, 30.0, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/mL without metabolic activation and to 100, 316, 1000, 3000, 4000 and 5000 µg/mL for 4 h with metabolic activation. Ethylmethanesulphonate and cyclophosphamide were used as positive control substances. Positive control materials induced statistically significant increases in aberration frequencies indicating the validity of the test and of the activity of the metabolizing system. Evaluation of 200 well-spread metaphase cells per concentration for structural chromosomal aberrations revealed no increase in the frequency of chromosome aberrations and polyploid cells at any dose level in comparison to the negative controls. The test material only demonstrated cytotoxicity in experiment II without metabolic activation at 5000 µg/mL. The test material was therefore considered to be non-clastogenic to Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts in vitro.
Genetic toxicity (mutagenicity) in mammalian cells in-vitro
CAS 67938-21-0
An in vitro mammalian cell gene mutation assay according to OECD guideline 476 and GLP was performed with the test substance in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79) (Wallner, 2012). The cells were treated for 4 and 20 hours with and without metabolic activation (cofactor-supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of male rats, treated with phenobarbital and β-naphthoflavone). The test substance was tested up to precipitation, the following concentrations were tested: 0.316, 1.00, 3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/mL (1stexperiment with and without metabolic activation, 4 h exposure; 2ndexperiment without metabolic activation, 20 h exposure) and 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 750, 1250, 2000, 3000 and 5000 µg/mL (2ndexperiment with metabolic activation, 4 h exposure). 7,12-dimethylbenzanthracene and ethylmethanesulphonate were used as positive controls with and without S9 mix, respectively. Reduced cloning efficiency was observed in the 1stexperiment starting at 2500 µg/mL in the presence of S9 and in the 2ndexperiment at 5000 µg/mL without S9 (relative growth: 54.7%). Positive and negative controls were valid and within or close to the range of historical control data. No biological significant increase in the mutation frequency at the HPRT locus was observed after treatment either in the absence or in the presence of S9-mix. Due to a missing dose response, the increased mutation rates exceeding the respective negative controls and the historical control data observed in the 1stand 2ndexperiment at 2500 (1stexperiment, -S9), 31.6 and 2500 µg/mL (1stexperiment, +S9), 0.316 and 1000 (2ndexperiment, -S9) are considered as incidental and not test item related. Thus, it was concluded that the test substance is not mutagenic in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (V79) under the experimental conditions described.
Conclusion for genetic toxicity
The available data show that Polyaldo 2-1-IS (CAS 73296-86-3) is not mutagenic to bacteria. In addition, the available data of the analogue substance Di(isooctadecanoic) acid, diester with oxydi(propanediol) (CAS 67938-21-0) show that the analogue substance is neither clastogenic nor mutagenic in Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts in vitro. Therefore, based on common functional groups and structural similarities, Polyaldo 2-1-IS (CAS 73296-86-3) is also considered not to be clastogenic or mutagenic in vitro.
Justification for classification or non-classification
The available data on genetic toxicity with Polyaldo 2-1-IS (CAS 73296-86-3) and the appropriate read-across substance Di(isooctadecanoic) acid, diester with oxydi(propanediol) (CAS 67938-21-0) do not meet the criteria for classification according to Regulation (EC) No 1272/2008, and are therefore conclusive but not sufficient for classification.
