Ames negative (parent and COOH metabolite); chromosome aberrations only at cytotoxic concentrations; rat micronucleus negative
“Abametapir and abametapir-COOH, the major human metabolite, were not mutagenic in the Ames test. Abametapir caused increases in chromosome aberrations in Human lymphocytes but only at cytotoxic concentrations and was negative in the in vivo rat micronucleus assay”

Carcinogenicity
Not conducted
“Long-term studies in animals have not been conducted to evaluate the carcinogenic potential of XEGLYZE or abametapir.”
Rat and rabbit oral reproductive/developmental studies: no significant findings independent of maternal toxicity
“Abametapir has been tested for reproductive and developmental toxicology in rats and rabbits after oral administration with no significant findings independent of maternal toxicity.”
