SUMMARY: NICEATM announces the
availability of an addendum to the
report, ‘‘Interagency Coordinating
Committee on the Validation of
Alternative Methods (ICCVAM)
Evaluation of In Vitro Test Methods for
Detecting Potential Endocrine
Disruptors: Estrogen Receptor and
Androgen Receptor Binding and
Transcriptional Activation Assays’’
[NIH Publication 03–4503]. The
addendum describes the rationale for
revisions to the original list of
recommended reference substances for
validation of in vitro estrogen receptor
(ER) and androgen receptor (AR)
binding and transcriptional activation
(TA) assays.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
VerDate Aug<31>2005
20:16 Sep 27, 2006
Jkt 208001
Background
In April 2000, the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) asked ICCVAM
to evaluate the validation status of in
vitro ER and AR binding and TA assays
that were proposed as possible
components of the EPA Endocrine
Disruptor Screening Program Tier 1
screening battery. ICCVAM agreed to
evaluate these test methods based on
their potential interagency applicability
and public health significance.
NICEATM subsequently compiled
available data and information on in
vitro ER and AR binding and TA assays
in four draft Background Review
Documents (BRDs) (available at https://
iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/methods/
endocrine.htm).
In collaboration with the ICCVAM
Endocrine Disruptor Working Group,
NICEATM organized an independent
scientific evaluation of the validation
status of the four types of in vitro
endocrine disruptor screening test
methods on May 20–21, 2002, in
Research Triangle Park, NC (Federal
Register, Vol. 66, No. 57, pp. 16278–
16279, March 23, 2001 and Federal
Register, Vol. 66, No. 67, pp. 16415–
16416, April 5, 2002, available at https://
iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/methods/
endocrine.htm).
The final BRDs and the ICCVAM Test
Method Evaluation Report, which
includes the expert panel report, public
comments, and other relevant
documents, were published in May
2003 and announced in the Federal
Register notice (Vol. 68, No. 106, pp.
33171–33172, June 3, 2003, available at
https://iccvam.niehs.nih.gov/methods/
endocrine.htm).
NICEATM recently reviewed the
commercial availability and cost for the
78 substances recommended by
ICCVAM for use in in vitro ER and AR
binding and TA validation studies. A
minimum of 44 substances are
recommended for AR binding and TA
assays, while a minimum of 53
substances are recommended for ER
binding and TA assays. This review
indicated that three substances
(anastrazole, CGS 18320B, and
fadrozole) are not commercially
available, one substance has restricted
commercial availability (ICI 182,780)
and six others (actinomycin D,
hydroxyflutamide, 4-hydroxytamoxifen,
methyltrienolone, 12-Otetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate,
zearalenone) have costs that are
considered excessive. ICCVAM has
replaced the four substances, which are
not commercially available or have
restricted availability, with ones having
similar ER and AR activity profiles (4-

hydroxyandrostenedione, chrysin,
dicofol, raloxifene HCl). 19nortestosterone and resveratrol were
identified as replacements for two of the
expensive substances, metyltrienolone
and zearalenone respectively. NICEATM
sought to replace four of the highly
priced substances (actinomycin D,
hydroxyflutamide, 4-hydroxytamoxifen,
12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate),
but was unable to identify suitable
replacements because of their unique
activity profiles and/or chemical/
physical properties. The proposed
revisions were made available for public
comment in March 2006 (Federal
Register, Vol. 71, No. 51, pp. 13597–
13598, March 16, 2006) and no
comments were received. The final
revised list of 78 reference substances
recommended for validation of in vitro
ER and AR binding and TA validation
studies and a discussion about the
revisions are now available in the
document, ‘‘Addendum to the ICCVAM
Evaluation of In Vitro Test Methods for
Detecting Potential Endocrine
Disruptors: Estrogen Receptor and
Androgen Receptor Binding and
Transcriptional Activation Assays.’’ The
addendum is available on the ICCVAM/
NICEATM Web site at https://
iccvam.niehs.nih.gov see ‘‘Test Method
Evaluations’’ or by contacting NICEATM
(requests should be sent by mail, fax, or
e-mail to Dr. William S. Stokes,

Background Information on ICCVAM
and NICEATM
ICCVAM is an interagency committee
composed of representatives from 15
Federal regulatory and research agencies
that use or generate toxicological
information. ICCVAM conducts
technical evaluations of new, revised,
and alternative methods with regulatory
applicability and promotes the scientific
validation and regulatory acceptance of
toxicological test methods that more
accurately assess the safety and hazards
of chemicals and products and that
refine, reduce, or replace animal use.
The ICCVAM Authorization Act of 2000
(42 U.S.C. 285) establishes ICCVAM as
a permanent interagency committee of
the NIEHS under the NICEATM.
NICEATM administers the ICCVAM and
provides scientific and operational
support for ICCVAM-related activities.
NICEATM and ICCVAM work
collaboratively to evaluate new and
improved test methods applicable to the
needs of Federal agencies. Additional
