NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicates

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

OTHER:
precipitation of the test substance
Evaluation criteria:
The test substance should have induced a reproducible, dose-related and statistically (Dunnett's method of linear regression) Significant increase in the revertant count in at least one strain of bacteria. If a greater than twofold increase in revertant count is observed in two experiments then this is taken as evidence of a positive response.
Statistics:
Dunnett's method of linear regression

Results and discussion

Test resultsopen allclose all
Species / strain:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
no cytotoxicity
Remarks:
an amber-coloured precipitate was observed at 5000 µg/plate that did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies
Species / strain:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
no cytotoxicity
Remarks:
an amber-coloured precipitate was observed at 5000 µg/plate that did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies
Additional information on results:
No toxicity was exhibited to any of the strains of bacteria used. An amber-coloured precipitate was observed at 5000 µg/plate, this did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies.

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the strains of bacteria, at any dose level either with or without metabolic activation.

All positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies thus confirming the activity of the S9-mix and the sensitivity of the bacterial strains.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

The test substance was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
