DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in bacterial background lawn, increase in size of the microcolonies and reduction of revertant colonies

Evaluation criteria:
A response is considered negative if:
- the total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
- the negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A response is considered positive if
- The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
- In case a positive response will be repeated, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one indepentently repeated experiment.
The preceding criteria were not absolute and other modifying factors might enter into the final evaluation decision.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: Precipitaion of the test material on the plates was observed at the start of the incubation period at concentrations of 333 µg/plate and upwards and at 1000 µg/plate and upwards at the end of the incubation period.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
The test material was tested up to 5000 µg/plate, +/- S9 in the strains TA100 and WP2uvrA. In tester strain TA100, toxicity was observed at dose levels of 100 µg/plate, with and without S9. With WP2uvrA, no toxicity was observed at any dose levels tested.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
All control values were within laboratory historical control data ranges confirming that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test material is not mutagenic with or without metabolic activiation in bacteria under the conditions of the study.
Executive summary:

The test material dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) was evaluated in the Salmonella typhimurium (strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) reverse mutation assay and the Escherichia coli (WP2uvrA) reverse mutation assay (with independent repeat) in the absence and presence of phenobarbital and beta-naphthoflavone induced rat liver S9 following OECD 471 and EC B13/14 Guidelines.

In a dose range-finding study the test material was tested up to 5000 µg/plate, +/- S9 in the strains TA100 and WP2uvrA. In tester strain TA100, toxicity was observed at dose levels of 100 µg/plate, with and without S9. With WP2uvrA, no toxicity was observed at any dose levels tested.

The test material precipitated at dose levels of 1000 µg/plate and above.

In the first experiment the test material was tested at a concentration range of 3 to 1000 µg/plate with and without 5% (v/v) S9 in strains TA1535, TA1537 and TA98. Toxicity was only observed in the tester strain TA1535 with and without S9 and in TA1537 without S9.

In the repeat assay with additional parameters the test material was tested in the concentration range 10 to 1000 µg/plate in the absence and presence of 10% (v/v) S9 -mix in strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and WP2uvrA and at 3 to 666 µg/plate (+/- S9) in tester strain TA100. Toxicity was observed in tester strains TA1535 without S9, and TA1537 and TA100 with and without S9.

The test material did not induce a signficant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the four S typhimurium tester strains and in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in the E.coli tester strain both with and without S9.

All control values were within laboratory historical control data ranges confirming that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.

Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the test material is not mutagenic in vitro in bacteria with or without metabolic activation.
