Perfluoro-n-decanoic acid (PFDA) is a perfluorinated fatty acid that produces hepatomegaly and increased peroxisomal beta-oxidation when administered to rodents. Chlorotrifluoroethylene (CTFE) trimer acid and CTFE tetramer acid are metabolites of the six- and eight-carbon oligomers of CTFE, respectively. They are structurally related to PFDA, and CTFE tetramer acid has caused toxic effects in rodents that are similar to those observed following PFDA administration. Because of the correlation between peroxisome proliferation and hepatocarcinogenesis, CTFE trimer acid, CTFE tetramer acid, and PFDA were evaluated in in vitro and in vivo/in vitro bioassays to assess their potential genotoxic activity. The assays conducted were the Ames Salmonella/microsomal mutagenicity assay, the hypoxanthineguanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) locus Chinese hamster ovary gene mutation assay, the sister chromatid exchange (SCE) assay, chromosomal aberration assay, and an in vivo/in vitro unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) and S-phase DNA synthesis assay. All test articles were negative in the Ames assay, the HGPRT assay, and the SCE assay. In the chromosomal aberration assay CTFE trimer acid and CTFE tetramer acid were negative in cultures with and without S9 metabolic activation. PFDA was also negative in the absence of metabolic activation, but chromosomal aberrations were observed when PFDA was incubated in the presence of S9 fraction. All test articles were negative for inducing UDS but all induced S-phase replicative DNA synthesis 16 hr after administration of the test article to the test animals; only CTFE tetramer acid and PFDA induced S-phase synthesis 48 hr after dosing: the usual timepoint examined for this response.
