Abstract DGBE was evaluated in a forward gene mutation assay at the HGPRT locus of CHO cells in culture and in an in vivo mouse bone marrow micronucleus test for cytogenetic damage. DGBE did not elicit a positive response in the CHO/HGPRT assay when tested up to a maximum concentration of 5000 mu g/ml with and without and external metabolic activation system (S-9). In the micronucleus test employing three post-treatment bone marrow sampling times (24, 48 and 72 hr), DGBE was ineffective in increasing the incidence of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MN-PCE) when tested in both sexes up to a maximum tolerated dose of 3300 mg/kg body weight. Thus, these data and those of others indicate a general lack of genotoxic potential for DGBE in short-term tests.
