m- / p-CRESOL MIXTURE<br />

5. TOXICITY ID: 15831-10-4<br />

DATE: 24.05.2004<br />

5.5 GENETIC TOXICITY ‘IN VITRO‘<br />

Type : Ames test<br />

System of testing : Salmonella typhimurium TA 97, TA98, TA100, TA 1535<br />

Test concentration : 0, 10, 33, 100 333, 1000, 3333 , 6666 ug/plate dissolved in DMSO<br />

Cycotoxic concentr. : High dose was limited by toxicity or solubility<br />

Metabolic activation : with and without<br />

Result : negative<br />

Method : other: EPA OTS 798.5265, see also fretext ME<br />

Year : 1990<br />

GLP : yes<br />

Test substance : other TS: m/p-cresol (60/40),<br />

Method : detailed protocol in Zeiger 1988 Environ. Molec. Mutagen. 11 (Suppl.12), 1-<br />

158: The metabolic activation system was prepared from Aroclor 1254-<br />

induced male Sprague-Dawley rat and male Syrian hamster livers, and<br />

used as 10% or 30% concentrations<br />

SOLVENT: DMSO<br />

CONTROL. DMSO and 2-aminoanthracene, 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine,<br />

sodium azide, 9-aminoacridine served as negative and positive controls,<br />

respectively.<br />

Remark : The positive control was functional.<br />

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

only 4 strains were used<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />

5.6 GENETIC TOXICITY ‘IN VIVO‘<br />

Type : Micronucleus assay<br />

Species : mouse<br />

Sex : male/female<br />

Strain : B6C3F1<br />

Route of admin. : oral feed<br />

Exposure period : 13 weeks<br />

Doses : 0, 625, 1250, 2500, 5000, 10000 ppm (approx. m: 0,96, 194, 402, 776,<br />

1513mg/kg bw; f: 116, 239, 472, 923, 1693 mg/kg bw)<br />

Result : negative<br />

Method : other: see ME<br />

Year : 1990<br />

GLP : yes<br />

Test substance : other TS: m/p-<strong>Cresol</strong>: 60:40<br />

Method : 10 mice/sex/dose treated for 13 weeks (see also Chapter 5.4)<br />

at termination smears were prepared from blood sampled by<br />

cardiac puncture from control and dosed mice: 10000<br />

normochromatic erythrocytes from each mice scored for<br />

micronuclei<br />

Remark : for signs of toxicity see chapter 5.4<br />

Result : No significant elevation in the frequency of micronucleated<br />

erythrocytes was observed in either male or female mice<br />

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

not fully in accordance with the guideline, e.g. no positive<br />

control<br />

Flag : Critical study for SIDS endpoint<br />
