5 | Germ cell mutagenicity | Category 2 |
Warning |
H341 | P308+P313 P201 P202 P280 P405 P501 |
It was classified in Category 2 from positive results in a chromosomal aberration test and a micronucleus test both with bone marrow after intraperitoneal administration to Chinese hamsters (in vivo somatic cell mutagenicity tests) (IARC 32 (1983)). Other than these, as in vivo somatic cell genotoxicity tests, there are reports on positive results in a sister chromatid exchange test with bone marrow after intraperitoneal administration to Chinese hamsters (IARC 32 (1983)), a DNA adduct formation test with the rat lung, and a DNA binding test with the mouse skin (EHC 202 (1998)). On the other hand, as for in vitro tests, mostly positive results were obtained in Ames tests (EHC 202 (1998), IARC 32 (1983)) and gene mutation tests with mouse lymphoma cells (NTP DB (Access on Oct. 2011)). Besides, there is a report on a positive result in a chromosomal aberration test with oocytes after oral administration to mice (in vivo germ cell mutagenicity test) (IARC 32 (1983)), but it was not used for classification because its reliability and validity are unknown. | FY2011 | GHS Classification Guidance by the Japanese Government (July, 2010) |
