Metabolic activation system:
Type and composition of metabolic activation system:

- source of S9 :
a) liver of 5 adult male Wistar rats induced by a combination of phenobarbital and ß-naphthoflavone
- method of preparation of S9 mix: 24 hours after the last administration, the rats were sacrificed, and the livers were prepared. The livers were weighed, washed and homogenized in KCl solution. After centrifugation of the homogenate, portions of the supernatant (S9 fraction) were stored at -70°C to -80°C. The S9 mix was prepared freshly prior to each experiment. For this purpose, a sufficient amount of S9 fraction was thawed at room temperature and 1 part of S9 fraction is mixed with 9 parts of S9 supplement (cofactors). This mixture of both components (S9 mix) was kept on ice until used.
- concentration or volume of S9 mix and S9 in the final culture medium: 0.5 mL S9 mix
- quality controls of S9 (e.g., enzymatic activity, sterility, metabolic capability): To demonstrate the efficacy of the S9 mix in this assay, the S9 batch was characterized with benzo(a)pyrene.

Cofactors of the rat liver S9 mix
The concentrations of the cofactors in the rat liver S9 mix are:
MgCl2 8 mM
KCl 33 mM
glucose-6-phosphate 5 mM
NADP 4 mM
phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) 15 mM

b) Uninduced hamster liver S9 fraction
- male Syrian golden hamsters (7 - 8 weeks old, liver microsomal fraction )
After centrifugation of the hamster liver homogenate at 9000 x g for 10 minutes at +4°C, 5-mL portions of the supernatant (S9 fraction) were stored at -70°C to -80°C

Cofactors of the hamster liver S9 mix (reductive S9 mix)
The concentrations of the cofactors in the hamster liver S9 mix are (9):
MgCl2 8.0 mM
KCl 33.0 mM
glucose-6-phosphate 20.0 mM
glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase 2.8 units/mL
NADP 4.0 mM
NADH 2.0 mM
FMN 2.0 mM
phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) 15.0 mM

The efficacy of the hamster liver S9 mix is demonstrated by testing the positive control Congo red.
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
0; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500 and 5000 μg/plate
In agreement with the recommendations of current guidelines 5 mg/plate or 5 μL/plate.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO

- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the insolubility of the test substance in water, DMSO was used as vehicle, which had been demonstrated to be suitable in bacterial reverse mutation tests and for which historical control data are available.
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide
9-aminoacridine
congo red
other: 2-aminoanthracene (2.5 μg/plate or 60 μg/plate; dissolved in DMSO; with S9-mix) and (10 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO; with hamster S9-mix for all strains). N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine and 9-aminoacridine without S9
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration : triplicate
- Number of independent experiments : 2

METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Cell density at seeding (if applicable): Fresh cultures of bacteria were grown up to late exponential or early stationary phase of growth (approximately 10^9 cells per mL). These cultures grown overnight were kept in iced water from the beginning of the experiment until the end in order to prevent further growth.
- Test substance added: Standard plate test, Preincubation Test

TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Preincubation period, if applicable: about 20 minutes
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 48 – 72 hours

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: background growth inhibition

Rationale for test conditions:
The substance contains an azo bond which triggers the Prival modifaction.
Evaluation criteria:
Generally, the experiment was considered valid if the following criteria were met:
• The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain.
• The sterility controls revealed no indication of bacterial contamination.
• The positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a distinct increase in the number of revertant colonies compatible with the range of the historical positive control data or above.
• Fresh bacterial culture containing approximately 10^9 cells per mL were used.

The test substance was considered positive in this assay if the following criteria were met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. at least doubling (bacteria strains with high spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 98, TA 100 and E.coli WP2 uvrA) or tripling (bacteria strains with low spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 1535 and TA 1537) of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance was generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the range of the historical negative control data under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Additional information

Ames tests

The GLP compliant study was performed using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 1538 following OECD testing guideline 471 (Ciba-Geigy 1980).

The test was performed with and without liver microsomal activation. The test material was tested at the following concentrations: 1.58, 5, 15.8, 50, 150,500,1580 and 5000 micrograms per plate. No toxic effect of the test material was observed.

Up to the highest investigated dose, no relevant increase of the revertant colony numbers was obtained in any Salmonella typhimurium strain used when compared with the corresponding controls. The presence of microsomal activation did not influence these findings. Positive control incubations confirmed the validity of the study. Pigment Brown was found to be non mutagenic.

In 2021, Pigment Red 220 was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains, i.e. Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, in a reverse mutation assay (Ames standard plate test and Prival preincubation test) (BASF 2021, GLP, OECD 471). The modified Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test according to Prival facilitates azo reduction and is therefore the most appropriate method for the investigation of azo-dyes and diazo compounds. The strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and E. coli WP2 uvrA were used. The dose ranges were 33 μg - 5000 μg/plate (SPT) and 8.33 μg - 5000 μg/plate (Prival), respectively. Precipitation of the test substance was observed at and above 8.33 μg/plate with and without S9 mix. A bacteriotoxic effect was observed depending on the strain and test conditions at and above 278 μg/plate. A relevant increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants (factor ≥ 2: TA 100, TA 98 and E.coli WP2 uvrA or factor ≥ 3: TA 1535 and TA 1537) was not observed in the standard plate test or in the prival preincubation test without S9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available experimental test data are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. As a result the substance is not considered to be classified for mutagenicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008.
