treatment<br />

Conclusion : Authors concluded that o-toluidine did not induce micronuclei in mouse<br />

bone marrow cells.<br />

Reliability : (2) valid with restrictions<br />

no data on purity or on GLP<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

18.05.2004 (215) (216)<br />

Type : Micronucleus assay<br />

Species : mouse<br />

Sex : male/female<br />

Strain : ICR<br />

Route of admin. : gavage<br />

Exposure period : once<br />

Doses : male: 0, 250, 500, 1000 mg/kg bw; female: 0, 150, 300, 600 mg/kg bw in<br />

corn oil<br />

Result : negative<br />

Method : other: preliminary tests: pilot assay and toxicity test;<br />

MN test: according to Hendle et al. (see freetext ME) equivalent to OECD<br />

TG 474<br />

Year : 1998<br />

GLP : yes<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 />
