In vivo chromosomal aberration results

Type of test Experimental test system Test substance Exposure conditions Result WG considerations and conclusion Reference
In vivo chromosomal aberration BM cells of Chinese hamster (negative control: 8M + 8F, treated animals: 24M + 24F)

Triazine amine CGA 150 829 tech. (97.6%)

Vehicle: 0.5% CMC = negative control

Preliminary tolerability test up to 5,000 mg/kg bw

Gavage 0 & 3,200 mg/kg bw

Sampling time: 16, 24 and 48 h after treatment

3,200 mg/kg bw = highest applicable dose

No increase in the number of metaphases with specific aberrations

GLP compliant OECD 475 (1984)

Slides of 5 males & 5 females selected for scoring

100 metaphases analysed/slide

No information reported about the toxic effects observed in the preliminary tolerability test

Major deviations from OECD TG 475 (2016) requirements

Negative but no information on BM exposure

Report 871187

BM: bone marrow; M: male; F: Female; CMC: Carboxymethylcellulose.
