5. Toxicity Substance ID: 71–43–2<br />

06–JAN–1997 (1120)<br />

Type: Cytogenetic assay<br />

System of testing: Chinese hamster ovary cells with and without rat liver<br />

metabolic activation<br />

Metabolic activation: with and without<br />

Result: negative<br />

Method: OECD Guide–line 473<br />

Year: 1983<br />

GLP: yes<br />

Test substance: as prescribed by 1.1 – 1.4<br />

Remark: The results of a recent comprehensive evaluation of the<br />

relationship between four measures of in vitro genetic<br />

toxicity and the capacity of the chemicals to induce<br />

neoplasia in rodents carry some important implications.<br />

Theresults showed that while the Salmonella mutagenesis<br />

assay detected only about half of the carcinogens as<br />

mutagens, theother three in vitro assays (mutagenesis in<br />

MOLY cells or induction of aberrations or SCEs in CHO cells)<br />

did not complement Salmonella since they failed to<br />

effectively discriminate between the carcinogens and<br />

noncarcinogens found negative in the Salmonella assay. The<br />

specificity of the Salmonella assay was relatively high<br />

(only 4 of 29 non–carcinogens were positive). Benzene was<br />

negative for the induction of chromosome aberrations in<br />

vitro. However, benzene was positive in the CHO cell SCE<br />

assay without rat liver metabolic activation.<br />

Type: other: Micronucleus in vitro<br />

System of testing: human lymphocytes and human myeloid HL60 cells<br />

Concentration: 0 to 100 uM<br />

Metabolic activation: without<br />

Result: positive<br />

Method: other: no guideline<br />

GLP: no data<br />

Test substance: other TS: 1,2,4–benzenetriol (99%)<br />

Remark: The triphenolic metabolite of benzene, 1,2,4–benzenetriol<br />

(BT), is readily oxidized to its corresponding quinone via<br />

asemiquinone radical. During this process, active oxygen<br />

species are formed that may damage DNA and other cellular<br />

macromolecules. The ability of BT to induce micronuclei<br />

(MN) and oxidative DNA damage was investigated in both<br />

humanlymphocytes and HL60 cells. BT increased the frequency<br />

of MN formation twofold in lymphocytes and eightfold in HL60<br />

cells. A linear dose–related increase in MN, was observed<br />

in both HL60 cells and lymphocytes. BT also increased the<br />

level of 8–hydroxy–2’–deoxyguanosine (8–OH–dG), a marker of<br />

active oxygen–induced DNA damage.<br />
