assessment. The NOAEL for females was 100 mg/kg bw/day, and the only effect seen in the males<br />

at this dose was the rat-specific kidney lesion.<br />

Studies in Animals<br />

In vitro Studies<br />

A series of bacterial mutation assays with Reliability of 2 have been conducted with MIBC. These<br />

are summarized in the following table:<br />

MIBC was tested in a cytogenetic assay using rat liver RL4 cells without metabolic activation; rat<br />

liver RL4 cells are metabolically competent. Concentrations of 0, 0.5, 1.0 and 2.0 mg/ml were<br />

tested. MIBC was found to be negative in this assay (Clare, 1983).<br />

Genetic toxicity in vitro with HMP<br />

HMP was negative in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay with and without metabolic activation<br />

(Ministry of Health and Welfare: Japan, 1997; Reliability = 1). Four strains of Salmonella<br />

typhimurium and one strain of Escherichia coli were tested at concentrations from 313 to 5000<br />

µg/plate. HMP was also tested for chromosomal aberrations in CHL/IU cells according to OECD<br />

TG 473. The test was conducted at concentrations ranging from 0.30 to 1.2 mg/ml; cytotoxicity<br />

was not observed at 1.2 mg/ml. Polyploidy (1.25 and 1.00%) was increased significantly at 0.60<br />

and 1.2 mg/mL. However the authors concluded that these were not cytogenetic effects because a<br />

trend test showed no dose-dependence. The study concluded that HMP was not mutagenic in this<br />

assay.<br />
