Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Administrative data

Endpoint:
in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria
Type of information:
experimental study
Adequacy of study:
key study
Reliability:
2 (reliable with restrictions)
Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
other: Comparable to guideline standard with acceptable restriction - S. typhimurium TA 102 or E. Coli to detect crosslinking/ oxidizing agents are not included in the panel of tested strains - no data on substance purity

Specific details on test material used for the study:
- Batch No.: EN 24375

Method

Target gene:
Histidine operon
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 fraction of liver from rats induced with Aroclor 1254 with following cofactors at a ratio of 3:7
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
25, 75, 225, 675 and 2,025 µg/plate
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle: acetone
- Justification for choice of vehicle: The solvent was chosen because of its solubility properties and its relative non-toxicity to the bacteria.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
not specified
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
not specified
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: cyclophosphamide (CP; 250 µg/plate in phosphate buffer, +S9, TA 1535 only); Daunorubicin-HCl (Drb-Hcl; 5 and 10 µg/plate in phosphate buffer, -S9, TA 98); N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG; 3 and 5 µg/plate in phosphate buffer, - S9, TA 1535)
Remarks:
9(5)aminoacridine hydrochloride monohydrate (9-AA; 50 and 100 µg/plate in DMSO, -S9, TA 1537), 4 - nitroquinoline - N-oxide, NOQ, 0.125 and 0.25 µg/plate, -S9, TA 100)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation test)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 hours at 37° C (in the dark)

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2 experiments; triplicate cultures/experiment

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
A preliminary toxicity test was carried out on strain TA 100 without microsomal activation with the concentrations ranging from 0.0001 to 2,000 ug/plate. The protocol used was the same as in the mutagenicity test, however, only two plates per concentration were used.
Evaluation criteria:
The test substance is generally considered to be nonmutagenic if the colony count in relation to the negative control is not doubled at any concentration.
Statistics:
When the colonies were counted, the arithmetic mean was computed.
