Cyclophosphamide
- Justification for choice of positive control(s): Not provided
- Route of administration: Oral gavage
- Doses / concentrations: 40 mg/kg
Tissues and cell types examined:
Bone marrow suspended in fetal bovine serum; 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes (PCE) were examined from each exposed animal for the presence of micronuclei. In addition, the ratio of PCEs to NCEs were determined for each animal by counting 1000 erythrocytes (PCEs and NCEs)

male/female
Genotoxicity:
negative
Toxicity:
no effects
Remarks:
MRD 92-321 did not induce a statistically significant decrease in the mean percent of polychromatic erythrocytes which is a measure of bone marrow toxicity. Hence, the test chemical was not toxic to the B6C3F1 mouse bone marrow.

Conclusions:
negative

MRD 92-321 did not induce a statistically significant decrease in the mean percent of polychromatic erythrocytes which is a measure of bone marrow toxicity. Hence, the test chemical was not toxic to the B6C3F1 mouse bone marrow under the conditions of the test. The test material also did not induce a statistically significant increase in the mean number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. Based on these results, the test material is not clastogenic to the bone marrow of the B6C3F1 mouse.
Executive summary:

In an in-vivo micronucleus assay, five male and five female B6C3F1 mice were exposed nose only for six hours/day for ten consecutive days to 1000 ppm of MRD 92-321 (C6 alkene) in air. The positive control, cyclophosphamide in water, was administered via oral gavage at a dose of 40 mg/kg, while air served as the negative control. Bone marrow samples were collected at approximately 24 hours after the last exposure and evaluated for micronucleus formation.

 

MRD 92-321 did not induce a statistically significant decrease in the mean percent of polychromatic erythrocytes which is a measure of bone marrow toxicity. The test material also did not induce a statistically significant increase in the mean number of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes. The positive and negative control gave appropriate results. Based on these results, the test material is not clastogenic to the bone marrow of the B6C3F1 mouse.

 

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as “reliable with restrictions” because though this study did not specify the use of GLP guidance it was conducted in close accordance to OECD TG 474.
