Introduction.The method conforms to the guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing published by the major Japanese Regulatory Authorities including METI, MHLW and MAFF. It also meets the requirements of the OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 "Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test", Method B13/14 of Commission Directive 2000/32/EC and the USA, EPA (TSCA) OPPTS harmonised guidelines.
Methods.Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA- were treated with the test material using the Ames plate incorporation method at five dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range for Experiment 1 was determined in a preliminary toxicity assay and was 50 to 5000 µg/plate. The experiment was repeated on a separate day using the same dose range as Experiment 1, fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test material formulations.
Results.The vehicle (acetone) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
The test material caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level. The test material was, therefore, tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 µg/plate. A precipitate (oily in appearance) was observed at and above 1500 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 bacterial strains, with any dose of the test material, either with or without metabolic activation.
Conclusion.The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
Short description of key information:
- Ames Test: non mutagenic up to 5000 µg/plate in S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 & TA1538, and and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA-
Endpoint Conclusion: No adverse effect observed (negative)
Justification for classification or non-classification
Harmonized classification:
The substance has no harmonized classification for human health according to the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 including the ATP2.
Self classification:
Based on the available data, no additional classification is proposed according to the Annex VI of the Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008 (CLP).
