OECD SIDS o-<strong>TOLUIDINE</strong><br />

5. TOXICITY ID: <strong>95</strong>-<strong>53</strong>-4<br />

DATE: 07.01.2005<br />

The positive control benzo(a)pyren was functional<br />

Test condition : TRANSFORMATION ASSAY (in brief)<br />

<strong>Chemicals</strong> were administered to the cells in sealed flasks.<br />

After a 24h treatment period the cells were washed free of the chemicals<br />

and maintained through a series of fresh media changes for 6 weeks at<br />

which time the induction of Type 1, 2 and 3 morphological transformants<br />

were scored.<br />

Tests were performed without exogenous metabolic activation.<br />

Concurrent cytotoxicity determinations were performed.<br />

CONTROLS<br />

Positive controls with benzo[a]pyrene 1µg/ml<br />

Negative controls with 1% DMSO<br />

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS<br />

Fisher's exact test<br />

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

special investigation<br />

13.02.2004 (379) (380)<br />

Species : other: mouse; mammalian cell transformation assay<br />

Sex :<br />

Strain : other: embryonic mouse fibroblasts (C3H/10T1/2 Clone 8)<br />

Route of admin. :<br />

Exposure period :<br />

Frequency of treatm. :<br />

Post exposure period :<br />

Doses : 0, 150, 300, 600 µg/ml in culture medium<br />

Result : positive<br />

Control group : yes<br />

Method : other: Reznikoff, C.A. et al. (1973): Cancer Res. 33, 3231-3238<br />

Year : 1985<br />

GLP : no data<br />

Test substance : other TS: no data on purity<br />

Result : In the presence of S9 mix, no transformed foci were recorded at 150 µg otoluidine/ml,<br />

one Type II focus was identified at 300 µg/ml and 3 Type II<br />

transformed foci observed at 600 µg/ml.<br />

In the absence of S9 mix no transformed foci were recorded at any<br />

concentration of o-toluidine.<br />

In the presence of S9 mix the frequency of transformation and the<br />

distribution of transformed foci among 4 flasks is indicative of a weak celltransforming<br />

potential.<br />

The positive controls were functional.<br />

Test condition : Preliminary Cytotoxicity determinations were performed to establish the<br />

range of concentration.<br />

CELL TRANSFORMATION ASSAY<br />

<strong>Chemicals</strong> were administered to the C3H/10T1/2 Clone 8 cells in flasks.<br />

After a 24h treatment period the cells were washed free of the chemicals<br />

and maintained through a series of fresh media changes for 8 weeks at<br />

which time the induction of Type 1, 2 and 3 morphological transformants<br />

were scored.<br />

--- CONTROLS<br />

Positive controls with benzo[a]pyrene, 3-methylcholanthrene, 4nitroquinoline-N-oxide,<br />

cyclophosphamide, ethylmethanesulfonate and 2acetylaminofluorene<br />

(2-AAF)<br />

Negative controls with 1% DMSO<br />
