p-CRESOL<br />

5. TOXICITY ID: 106-44-5<br />

DATE: 24.05.2004<br />

GLP<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

06.02.2004 (159)<br />

Type : Ames test<br />

System of testing : Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537<br />

Test concentration : no data<br />

Cycotoxic concentr. :<br />

Metabolic activation : with and without<br />

Result : negative<br />

Method : other: according to Ames, Mutation Res. 31, 347 (1975)<br />

Year : 1980<br />

GLP : no data<br />

Test substance : other TS: p-cresol, not specified further<br />

Reliability : (4) not assignable<br />

Type : other: DNA adduct formation<br />

System of testing : calf thymus DNA<br />

Test concentration : 100 uM<br />

Cycotoxic concentr. : no data<br />

Metabolic activation : with<br />

Result : positive<br />

Method : other: see freetext ME<br />

Year : 2001<br />

GLP : no<br />

Test substance : other TS: p-cresol, highest analytical grade available<br />

Method : p-<strong>Cresol</strong> was activated with (1) PB-induced rat liver microsomal protein, (2)<br />

horseradish peroxidase and then incubated with calf-thymus DNA<br />

overnight at 37 degree Celcius and adducts were measured by P-<br />

postlabeling analysis .<br />

p-<strong>Cresol</strong> was oxidized with MnO2 to form a quinone methide and then<br />

incubated with calf-thymus DNA as described above and adducts were<br />

measured<br />

Result : In vitro activation of p-<strong>Cresol</strong> with<br />

(1) horseradish peroxidase produced six DNA adducts with a relative<br />

adduct level of 8.03 x 10(exp)-7 which were inhibited 65 and 95 % by<br />

addition of either 250 or 500 uM ascorbic acid to the incubation.<br />

(2) PB-induced rat liver microsomes resulted in the formation of a single<br />
