C In vitro Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test (OPPTS Harmonized Guideline<br />

870.5300; OECD Guideline 476)<br />

Type: Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test: Forward Mutation<br />

Species, strain: Mouse lymphoma L5178Y<br />

Metabolic activation: Tested with and without phenobarbital-induced liver S9 from male mice<br />

Concentrations: 0, and five concentrations up to ~32 nL/mL without S9, and six concentrations<br />

up to 70 nL/mL with S9. Test conditions chosen based on preliminary assays so that 50%<br />

growth reduction occurred at highest concentration.<br />

Purity: Not reported<br />

Method: Selection <strong>of</strong> <strong>for</strong>ward mutation from TK+/- to TK-/- genotype. Activity compared to<br />

[<strong>Chemical</strong> 2].<br />

Results: Proprietary A yielded negative results with or without activation. [<strong>Chemical</strong> 2] was<br />

negative without, but positive with activation.<br />

Reference: Ref. 12; also Ref. 33<br />

Type: Mammalian Cell Gene Mutation Test: Forward Mutation<br />

Species, strain: V79 Chinese hamster lung cells<br />

Metabolic activation: Tested with phenobarbital-induced liver S9 from male rats<br />

Concentrations: 0, 0.02 mM Proprietary A. Test conditions chosen based on preliminary<br />

assays.<br />

Purity: Not reported<br />

Method: In two experiments, selection <strong>of</strong> 6-thioguanine-resistant colonies. Activity compared<br />

to [<strong>Chemical</strong> 2].<br />

Results: Proprietary A with S9 did not increase mutation frequency. [<strong>Chemical</strong> 2] yielded<br />

positive results.<br />

Reference: Ref. 48<br />

C Sex-linked Recessive Lethal test in Drosophila melanogaster (OPPTS Harmonized<br />

Guideline 870.5275)<br />

Type: Sex-linked Recessive Lethal test<br />

Species, strain: Drosophila melanogaster, 100 males/concentration<br />

Metabolic activation: None<br />

Concentrations: 2.5 and 25% in feed (1% gum tragacanth in 3% sucrose)<br />

Purity: Technical-grade [Formulation 2], purity not reported<br />

Method: Proprietary A added to feed <strong>of</strong> males <strong>for</strong> 24 hours, subsequently mated with virgin<br />

unexposed females<br />

Results: No evidence <strong>of</strong> toxicity or increase in the percentage <strong>of</strong> sex-linked recessive lethal<br />

mutations.<br />

Reference: Ref. 11 as described in Ref. 61; also Ref. 32<br />
