Any other information on results incl. tables

The test material was immiscible with water and DMSO at 100 µl/ml but was miscible with ethanol at the same concentration. Stocks were prepared by performing serial dilutions in ethanol just prior to each assay. The mutation assays were then initiated by performing final dilutions of the stocks into the assay medium containing the lymphoma cells. The test material appeared soluble in the assay medium up to 125 nl/ml but a white precipitate was noted from 250 to 1000 nl/ml.

Two trials of the assay were initiated.
Trial 1 was performed with and without activation but the non-activation assay was NOT used in the evaluation because of unacceptable suspension growth in the negative controls. The non-activation portion of the assay was therefore repeated in Trial 2.

The report summarized here included the acceptable activation assay from Trial 1 and the acceptable non-activation assay from Trial 2.

Under non-activation conditions the test material induced a good range of toxicities for evaluation (relative growths ranged from 2.8% to 65.3%).
None of the assays induced a mutant frequency that exceeded the minimum criterion (40.8 x 10-6). The test material was not mutagenic under non-activation conditions.

In the presence of metabolic activation, a wide range of toxicities were induced (6.1 to 107.9% relative growths). The minimum criterion mutant frequency of 69.0 x 10-6 was not exceeded. The test material was therefore considered non mutagenic under activation conditions.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test substance does not induce chromosomal aberrations in rat bone marrow cells under the condition of the study. ... (see attached file)
Executive summary:

In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay, mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells, cultured in vitro, were exposed to hydrodesulfurised kerosine at concentrations from 6.25 nL/mL to 37.5 nL/mL without activation and from 3.91 nl/ml to 62.5 nl/ml with S9 metabolic activation. The cells were exposed for four hours both in the presence and absence of the rat liver S9 metabolic activation.

Under non-activation conditions the test material induced a good range of toxicities for evaluation (relative growths ranged from 2.8% to 65.3%). None of the assays induced a mutant frequency that exceeded the minimum criterion (40.8 x 10-6). The test material was not mutagenic under non-activation conditions. In the presence of metabolic activation, a wide range of toxicities were induced (6.1 to 107.9% relative growths). The minimum criterion mutant frequency of 69.0 x 10-6 was not exceeded. The test material was therefore considered non mutagenic under activation conditions.

This study received a Klimisch score of 1 and is classified as reliable without restriction because it was carried out in a method similar/equivalent to OECD TG 471.
