bone marrow cells.<br />
Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />
no data on purity or on GLP<br />

NUMBER OF TEST ANIMALS:<br />
5 males and 5 females/group in the low and mid dose<br />
15 males and 15 females in the high dose groups<br />
10 males and 10 females in the negative (vehicle) control groups<br />
5 males and 5 females in the positive control groups<br />
NEGATIVE AND POSITIVE CONTROLS:<br />
vehicle: corn oil<br />
positive control: cyclophosphamide<br />
DOSING VOLUME: 20 ml/kg bw<br />
OBSERVATION:<br />
mice were observed for clinical signs<br />
SACRIFICE:<br />
24 and 48 hours post dose administration<br />
SCORING FOR MICRONUCLEI:<br />
micronuclei were determined in 1000 polychromatic erythrocytes of the<br />
bone marrow for each mouse and treatment group<br />
STATISTICAL EVALUATION:<br />
Kastenbaum-Bowmann tables<br />
Result : Preliminary assays<br />
served as dose finding study and to determine the maximum tolerated dose<br />
MNT:<br />
Observations:<br />
clinical signs included lethargy in the mid dose groups of males and the<br />
high dosed females; diarrhea, prostration and lethargy were observed in<br />
the high dosed males.<br />
