Evaluation criteria:
In general, a substance to be characterized as positive in the Ames test has to fulfill the following requirements:
- doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate (compared to control values)
- dose-response relationship
- reproducibility of the results

Results and discussion

Species / strain:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:

Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
cytotoxicity
Vehicle controls validity:
valid

Additional information on results:
- Solubility: Complete solubility of the test substance in ethanol.
- A clear bacteriotoxic effect was observed at doses of about ≥ 0.005 µL/plate (without S-9 mix) and from about 0.2 - 0.3 µL/plate onward (with S-9 mix).
- With the positive reference compound DIMCA the expected positive reaction was demonstrated both with and without metabolic activation.
