H-24889: In Vitro Chromosome Aberration Study in Human Peripheral Blood Lymphocytes
DuPont-6406
SUMMARY
The test article, H-24889, was tested in the in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration
test using human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBL) in both the absence and presence of an Aroclor-induced S9 activation system. A preliminary toxicity test was performed to establish the dose range for testing in the cytogenetic test. The chromosome aberration assay was used to evaluate the clastogenic potential of the test article.
Acetone was determined to be the solvent o f choice based on solubility o f the test article and compatibility with the target cells. The test article was soluble in acetone at a maximum concentration o f 500 mg/mL.
In the preliminary toxicity assay, the maximum dose tested was 5000 pg/mL. Human
peripheral blood lymphocytes were treated in the absence and presence o f an Aroclor-induced S9 activation system for 4 hours, and continuously for 20 hours in the absence of S9 activation. Visible precipitate was observed in treatment medium at concentrations of 1500 and 5000 pg/mL. Concentrations o f <500 pg/mL were soluble in treatm ent medium.
Selection of dose levels for the chromosome aberration assay was based on a reduction in the mitotic index relative to the solvent control. Substantial toxicity, i.e., at least a 50% reduction in mitotic index, was observed at dose level 5000 Pg/mL in the non-activated 4 hour and the 20 hour exposure groups. Substantial toxicity was observed at dose levels 1500 and 5000 pg/mL in the S9-activated 4 hour exposure group. Based on these findings, the doses chosen for the chromosome aberration assay ranged from 125 to 3000 pg/mL for both the non-activated exposure groups, and from 125 to 2000 pg/mL for the S9-activated 4 hour
exposure group.
In the chromosome aberration assay, the cells were treated for 4 and 20 hours in the non activated test system and for 4 hours in the S9 activated test system, and all cells were harvested at 20 hours after treatment initiation. Visible precipitate was observed in treatment medium at concentrations o f 1500 to 3000 pg/mL in the non-activated 4 hour and the 20 hour exposure groups and at 1500 and 2000 pg/mL in the S9-activated 40 hour exposure group. Concentrations of <1250 pg/mL were soluble in treatment medium. Toxicity (mitotic
inhibition) was approximately 36% and 15% at the highest dose level evaluated for chromosome aberrations, 1500 pg/mL, in the non-activated 4 hour and 20 hour exposure
groups, respectively. Toxicity (mitotic inhibition) was approximately 57% at the highest dose level evaluated for chromosome aberrations, 1250 pg/mL, in the S9-activated 4 hour
exposure group. Highest dose levels were selected based on the lowest precipitating dose levels. Initially, the non-activated and S9 activated 4 hour exposure groups were scored for structural and numerical chromosome aberrations. No statistically significant increases in structural and numerical chromosome aberrations were observed in the non-activated or S9 activated 4 hour exposure groups relative to the solvent control group, regardless of dose level (p>0.05, Fisher's exact test). In the absence of a positive response in the non-activated 4 hour exposure group, the non-activated 20 hour continuous exposure group was evaluated for

structural and numerical chromosome aberrations. No statistically significant increases in structural and numerical chromosome aberrations were observed in the non-activated 20 hour continuous exposure group relative to the solvent control group regardless o f dose level (p>0.05, Fisher's exact test). Based on the findings o f this study, H-24889 was concluded to
be negative for the induction o f structural and numerical chromosome aberrations in the in vitro m a m m a lia n chromosome aberration test using human peripheral lymphocytes.

PURPOSE
The purpose o f this study was to evaluate the clastogenic potential o f a test article based upon its ability to induce chromosome aberrations in human peripheral lymphocytes.
CHARACTERIZATION O F TEST AND CONTROL ARTICLES
The test article, H-24889, was received by BioReliance on M ay 9 2001 and was assigned the code number AA44ER. The test article was characterized by the Sponsor as a yellow to amber solid that should be stored at <27C in a ventilated area, protected from exposure to light, w ith an expiration date of April 5,2003. Upon receipt, the test article was described as off-white jelly material and was stored at room temperature, protected from exposure to light and moisture.
The solvent used to deliver H-24889 to the test system was acetone (CAS No.: 67-64-1), obtained from the Fisher Scientific Company. The test article was heated to 60C and mixed well before each weighing.
Mitomycin C (MMC), CAS No.: 50-07-7, was obtained from the Sigma Chemical Company, and was dissolved and diluted in sterile distilled water to stock concentrations of 25 and 50 pg/mL for use as the positive control in the non-activated test system. Cyclophosphamide (CP), CAS No.: 6055-19-2, was obtained from the Sigma Chemical Company, and was dissolved and diluted in sterile distilled water to stock concentrations of 2 and 4 mg/mL for use as the positive control in the S9 activated test system. For each positive control, one dose level exhibiting a sufficient number of scorable metaphase cells was selected for analysis. The solvent for the test article was used as the solvent control at the same concentration as that found in the test article-treated groups.
M ATERIALS AND METHODS
Test System
Peripheral blood lymphocytes were obtained from a healthy non-smoking 26 year old adult malp. on May 22, 2001 for the preliminary toxicity assay, and from a healthy non smoking 26 year old adult male on June 5,2001 for the definitive assay. Neither donor had a recent history o f radiotherapy, viral infection or the administration o f drugs. This test system has been demonstrated to be sensitive to the clastogenic activity o f a variety of chemicals (Preston et al., 1981).

A ctivation System
Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9 was used as the metabolic activation system. The S9 was prepared from male Sprague-Dawley rats induced w ith a single intraperitoneal injection o f Aroclor 1254, 500 mg/kg, five days prior to sacrifice. The S9 was batch prepared and stored at <-70C until used. Each bulk preparation o f S9 was assayed for its ability to metabolize 2-aminoanthracene and 7,12-dimethyl-benz(a)anthracene to forms mutagenic to
Salmonella typhimunum TA100.
Immediately prior to use, the S9 was thawed and mixed with a cofactor pool to contain 2 mM magnesium chloride, 6 mM potassium chloride, 1 mM glucose-6-phosphate, 1 mM nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP) and 20 pL S9 per m illiliter medium (RPMI 1640 serum-fiee medium supplemented with 100 units penicillin and 100 pg streptomycin/mL, and 2 mM L-glutamine).
Solubility Test
A solubility test was conducted to select the solvent. The test was conducted using one or more o f the following solvents in the order o f preference as listed: purified water, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethanol, and acetone. The test article was tested to determine the solvent, selected in order o f preference, that permitted preparation o f the highest soluble or workable stock concentration, up to 500 mg/mL.
Prelim inary Toxicity Assay
The toxicity test was performed for the purpose o f selecting concentrations for the chromosome aberration assay and consisted o f an evaluation o f test article effect on mitotic index. Approximately 0.6 mL heparinized blood was inoculated into centrifuge tubes containing 9.4 mL RPM I-1640 complete medium supplemented with 1% phytohaemoagglutinin (PHA). The tubes were incubated at 371C in a humidified atmosphere o f 51% CO2 in air for 44-48 hours. The pH and osmolality of the highest treatment condition were measured, and the pH was adjusted, if necessary, in order to m a in ta in a neutral pH in the treatment medium. At the tim e of test article treatment the culture tubes were centrifuged, the supernatant was aspirated, and the cells were resuspended in either 10 mL o f fresh RPM I-1640 complete medium containing 1% PHA for the non activated study or 10 m l. S9 reaction mixture (8 mL serum free medium containing 1% PHA + 2 mL o f S9 cofactor pool), to which was added 100 pL test article dosing solution in
solvent or solvent alone.
The cells were exposed to solvent alone and to nine concentrations o f the test article for 4 hours in both the presence and absence o f S9 activation, and for 20 hours continuously in the absence o f S9 activation. The cells were incubated at 371C in a humidified atmosphere of 51% CO2 in air. At the completion of the 4 hour exposure period, the treatment medium

was removed, the cells washed with calcium and magnesium-free phosphate buffered saline (CMF-PBS), refed with RPMI-1640 complete medium and returned to the incubator for an additional 16 hours. Two hours prior to the scheduled cell harvest, Colcemid was added to the cultures at a final concentration o f 0.1 pg/mL and the cultures were returned to the incubator until cell collection.
Cells were collected by centrifugation, treated with hypotonic potassium chloride (0.075M KC1), fixed, stained and the number o f cells in mitosis per 500 cells scored was determined in order to evaluate test article effect on mitotic index.
Chromosome A berration Assay
The chromosome aberration assay was performed using standard procedures (Evans, 1976; Evans and ORiordan, 1975) by exposing duplicate cultures of human peripheral blood lymphocytes (HPBL) to at least 4 concentrations of the test article as well as positive and solvent controls. The dividing cells were harvested at approximately 20 hours from the initiation o f treatment.
For the chromosome aberration assays, 0.6 mL heparinized blood was inoculated into
centrifuge tubes containing 9.4 mL complete medium supplemented with 1% PHA. The
tubes were incubated at 371C in a humidified atmosphere of 51% CO2 in air for 44-48 hours. Treatment was carried out by refeeding w ith approximately 10 mL fresh complete medium or S9 reaction m ixture to which was added 100 pL o f dosing solution o f test or control article in solvent or solvent alone.
In the non-activated study, the cells were exposed for 4 or 20 hours at 371C in a humidified atmosphere o f 51% CO2 in air. In the 4 hour exposure group, after the exposure period, the treatment medium was removed, the cells washed with calcium and magnesium
free phosphate buffered saline (CMF-PBS), refed with complete medium containing 1% PHA
and returned to the incubator for an additional 16 hours. Two hours prior to the scheduled cell harvest at 20 hours after treatment initiation, Colcemid was added to the cultures at a final concentration o f 0.1 pg/mL. In the 20 hour exposure group treatment was continuous until the time, of cell collection. Two hours prior to the scheduled cell harvest at 20 hours after treatment initiation, Colcemid was added to the cultures at a final concentration o f 0.1 Pg/mL.
In the S9 activated study, the cells were exposed for 4 hours at 371C in a humidified atmosphere o f 51% CO2 in air. After the exposure period, the treatment medium was removed, the cells washed with calcium and magnesium-free phosphate buffered saline (CMF-PBS), refed with complete medium containing 1% PHA and returned to the incubator for an additional 16 hours. Two hours prior to the scheduled cell harvest at 20 hours after treatment initiation, Colcemid was added to the cultures at a final concentration o f 0.1 pg/mL.

Collection o f M etaphase Cells
Two hours after the addition of Colcemid, metaphase cells were harvested for both the activated and non-activated studies by centrifugation. The cells were collected by centrifugation at approximately 1200 rpm for about 5 minutes. The cell pellet was resuspended in 5 mL 0.075 M KC1 and incubated at 371C for 20 minutes. At the end of the KC1 treatment and immediately prior to centrifuging, the cells were gently mixed and approximately 0.5 mL of fixative (methanolrglacial acetic acid, 3:1 v/v) was added to each tube. The cells were collected by centrifugation, the supernatant aspirated, and die cells were fixed with two washes w ith approximately 3-5 mL of fixative and stored in fixative overnight or longer at approximately 2-8C.
Slide P reparation
To prepare slides, the fixed cells were centrifuged at approximately 1200 rpm for 5 minutes, the supernatant was aspirated, and the cells were resuspended in 1 mL cold fresh fixative. The cells were collected by centrifugation and the supernatant aspirated, leaving 0.1 to 0.3 mL fixative above the cell pellet. An aliquot o f the cell suspension was dropped onto a glass slide and allowed to air dry overnight. Slides were identified by the study number, dose level, activation condition, harvest time, replicate tube designation and date prepared. The
dried slides were stained w ith 5% Giemsa, air dried and permanently mounted.
Selection of Dose Levels fo r Analysis .
The selection o f dose levels for analysis of chromosome aberrations in HPBL was based upon precipitation of the test article in treatment medium. In the presence of test article precipitation in the treatm ent medium, the highest dose level evaluated was the lowest precipitating dose level, regardless of toxicity. A t least two additional lower dose levels were included in the evaluation.
Evaluation o f M etaphase Cells
Slides were coded using random numbers by an individual not involved with the scoring process. Initially, the non-activated and S9 activated 4 hour exposure groups were valuated for chromosome aberrations and if a positive result was obtained in the non-activated 4 hour exposure group, the non-activated 20 hour continuous exposure group was not necessarily evaluated for chromosome aberrations. M etaphase cells w ith 46 centromeres were examined under oil immersion without prior knowledge o f treatm ent groups. W henever possible, a m i n i m u m 0f 200 metaphase spreads (100 per duplicate treatm ent condition) were examined and scored for chromatid-type and chromosome-type aberrations (Scott et al., 1990). The number of metaphase spreads that were examined and scored per duplicate flask was reduced if the percentage o f aberrant cells reached a statistically significant level before 100 cells are scored. Chromatid-type aberrations include chromatid and isochrom atid breaks and exchange

figures such as quadriradials (symmetrical and asymmetrical interchanges), tm adials, and complex rearrangements. Chromosome-type aberrations include chromosome breaks and exchange figures such as dicentrics and rings. Fragments (chromatid or acentric) observed in the absence of any exchange figure were scored as a break (chromatid or chromosome). Fragments observed w ith an exchange figure were not scored as an aberration but instead were considered part o f the incomplete exchange. Pulverized chromosome(s), pulverized cells and severely damaged cells (>10 aberrations) also were recorded. Chromatid gaps (an aligned achromatic region in one chromatid, the size o f which is equal to or smaller than the width o f the chromatid) and isochromatid gaps (an aligned, achromatic region in both chromatids, the size of which is equal to or smaller than the width of the chromatids) were recorded but not included in the analysis. The XY coordinates for each cell with chromosomal aberrations were recorded using a calibrated microscope stage. The mitotic index was recorded as the percentage o f cells in mitosis per 500 cells counted. The percent polyploid and endoreduplicated cells was evaluated per 100 cells.
C o n tro ls
MMC was used as the positive control in the non-activated study at final concentrations o f 0.25 and 0.5 pg/mL. CP was used as the positive control in the S9 activated study at final concentrations o f 20 and 40 pg/mL. For both positive controls one dose level exhibiting a sufficient number o f scorable metaphase cells was selected for analysis. The solvent vehicle for the test article was used as the solvent control at the same concentration as that found in the test article-treated groups.
Evaluation of T est Results
The toxic effects of treatment are based upon m itotic inhibition relative to the solvent-treated control and are presented for the preliminary toxicity test and the chromosome, aberration assay. The number and types of aberrations per cell, the percentage of structurally and numerically damaged cells (percent aberrant cells), and the frequency o f structural aberrations per cell (mean aberrations per cell) in the total population o f cells examined was calculated and reported for each treatment group. Chromatid and isochromatid gaps are presented in the data but are not included in the total percentage of cells with one or more aberrations or in the frequency of structural aberrations per cell.
Statistical analysis of the percent aberrant cells was performed using the Fisher's exact test. Fisher's test was used to compare pairwise the percent aberrant cells o f each treatment group with that o f the solvent control. In the event o f a positive Fisher's test at any test article dose level, the Cochran-Armitage test was used to measure dose-responsiveness.
All conclusions were based on sound scientific judgement; however, as a guide to interpretation of the data, the test article was considered to induce a positive response when the percentages o f cells with aberrations were increased in a dose-responsive manner with

one or more concentrations being statistically elevated relative to the solvent control group (p<0.05). A reproducible significant increase at the high dose only w ith no dose response or a reproducible significant increase at one dose level other than the high dose with no dose response will be considered positive. However, values that are statistically significant but do not exceed the range o f historic solvent controls may be judged as not biologically significant. The test article was concluded to be negative if no statistically significant increase was observed relative to the solvent control.
C riteria fo r D eterm ination o f a V alid T est
The frequency of cells w ith structural chromosome aberrations in the solvent controls must be within the historical range for solvent controls. The percentage of cells with chromosome aberrations in the positive control must be statistically increased (p-- > Fisher's exact test) relative to the solvent control.
D eviations
No known deviations from the protocol or assay-method SOPs occurred during the conduct of this study.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Solubility Test
Acetone was determined to be the solvent o f choice based on solubility o f the test article and com patibility with the target cells. The test article was soluble in acetone at a maximum concentration o f 500 mg/mL.
Prelim inary Toxicity Assay
Dose levels for the chromosome aberration assay were selected following a preliminary toxicity test and were based upon a reduction in mitotic index relative to the solvent control. The results o f the evaluation of mitotic inhibition are presented in Tables 1, 2, and 3. HPBL

cells were first exposed to nine concentrations o f H-24889 ranging from 0.5 pg/mL to 5000 Hg/mT.j as well as solvent controls, in both the absence and presence o f an Aroclor-induced
S9 activation system for 4 hours, or continuously for 20 hours in the absence of S9 activation. Visible precipitate was observed in treatm ent medium at concentrations of 1500 and 5000 jig/mT- Concentrations o f <500 pg/mL were soluble in treatm ent medium. The osmolality and pH o f the highest concentration tested, 5000 pg/mL, were 258 mmol/kg and
approximately 7.5, respectively. The osmolality o f the lowest precipitating dose level, 1500 Pg/mL, was 256 mmol/kg. The osmolality o f the highest soluble dose level, 500 Hg'mL, was 261 mmol/kg. The osmolality o f the solvent (acetone) in the treatment medium was 265 mmol/kg. Toxicity (mitotic inhibition) in excess of 50%, relative to the solvent control, was observed at 5000 pg/mL in the non-activated 4 hour and the 20 hour exposure groups and at 1500 and 5000 pg/mL in the S9-activated 4 hour exposure group. Based on the results o f the
preliminary toxicity test, the dose levels selected for testing in the chromosome aberration
assay were as follows:

In the chromosome aberration assay, visible precipitate was observed in treatment medium at concentrations o f 1500, 1750,2000,2500 and 3000 pg/mL in the non-activated 4 hour and the 20 hour exposure groups. Concentrations 1000 pg/mL were soluble in treatment medium. Visible precipitate was observed in treatm ent medium at concentrations of 1500 and 2000 pg/mL in the S9-activated 4 hour exposure group. Concentrations 1250 pg/mT, were soluble in treatm ent medium. The osmolality in treatment medium o f the highest concentration tested, 3000 pg/mL, was 380 mmol/kg. The osmolality of the lowest precipitating dose level, 1500 Pg/mL, was 379 mmol/kg. The osmolality o f the highest soluble dose level, 1250 Pg/mL, was 375 mmol/kg.The osmolality of the solvent (acetone) in treatment medium was 382 mmol/kg.

The findings o f the cytogenetic analysis of the non-activated 4 hour exposure group are presented by treatment flask in Table 4 and summarized by group in Table 7. At the highest test concentration evaluated microscopically for chromosome aberrations, 1500pg/mL,
mitotic inhibition was 36%, relative to the solvent control. The dose levels selected for analysis o f chromosome aberrations were 125, 500 and 1500 pg/mL. The highest dose was
selected to score chromosome aberrations was the low est precipitating dose level in the culture medium. The percentage o f cells with structural and numerical aberrations in the test article-treated groups was not significantly increased above that of the solvent control (p>0.05, Fisher's exact test). The percentage of cells with structurally damaged chromosomes in the MMC (positive control) treatment group (6.5%) was found to be statistically
significant.
The findings of the cytogenetic analysis o f the S9 activated group are presented by treatment flask in Table 5 and summarized by group in Table 7. At the highest test concentration evaluated microscopically for chromosome aberrations, 1250 pg/mL, mitotic
inhibition was 57%, relative to the solvent control. The dose levels selected for analysis o f chromosome aberrations were 125, 500, and 1250 pg/mL. The percentage o f cells with structural and numerical aberrations in the test article-treated groups was not significantly increased above that of the solvent control (p>0.05, Fisher's exact test). The percentage of cells with structurally damaged chromosomes in the CP (positive control) treatment group (8.0%) was found to be statistically significant.
In the absence of a positive response in the non-activated 4 hour exposure group, slides from the non-activated 20 hour exposure group were evaluated for chromosome aberrations. The fin d in g s o f the cytogenetic analysis of the non-activated 20 hour exposure group are presented by treatment flask in Table 6 and summarized by group in Table 7. At the highest test concentration evaluated microscopically for chromosome aberrations, 1500 pg/mL, mitotic inhibition was 15%, relative to the solvent control. The dose levels selected for analysis of chromosome aberrations were 125,500, and 1500 pg/mL. The percentage o f cells with structural and numerical aberrations in the test article-treated groups was not significantly increased above that of the solvent control (p>0.05, Fishers exact test). The percentage o f cells with structurally damaged chromosomes in the MMC (positive control) treatment group (10.5%) was found to be statistically significant.
C O N C L U S IO N
The positive and solvent controls fulfilled the requirements for a valid test.
Under the conditions o f the assay described in this report, H-24889 was concluded to be negative for the induction o f structural and numerical chromosome aberrations in the non
activated and S9 activated test systems in the in vitro mammalian chromosome aberration test
using human peripheral lymphocytes.

7.0 EXPERIM ENTAL DESIGN A ND M ETHODOLOGY
T he assay w ill b e conducted using standard procedures, by exposing hum an lym phocytes to a m inim um o f four concentrations o f th e te st article as w ell as to positive and solvent controls. In the non-activated test system , treatm ent w ill be fo r 4 hours and fo r 20 hours; in the S9 activated test system , exposure w ill be fo r 4 hours (Sw ierenga e t a l., 1991). T he dividing cells w ill be arrested in m etaphase an d harvested for m icroscopic evaluation o f chrom osom e aberrations at approxim ately 20 hours (1.S norm al cell cy cles) after the initiation o f treatm ent in order to ensure evaluation o f first-division m etaphase cells (G allow ay e t al., 1994). The clastogenic poten tial o f th e test article w ill be m easured by its ability to increase chrom osom e aberrations in a dose-responsive m an n a w hen com pared to a control group. The 4 hour non-activated and S9-activated studies w ill be scored initially. In th e event o f a positive response in th e 4 hour non-activated study, th e prolonged exposure non-activated study m ay no t be scored. T he test article w ill also be assessed fo r its ability to induce num erical chrom osom e aberrations.
