DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: decrease in the number of revertants, clearing or diminution of the background lawn, reduction in the titer


OTHER:
Titer determination: The titer was determined only in the experimental parts with S9 mix both for the negative controls (vehicle only) and for the two highest doses in all experiments.

Positive controls:

With S9 mix: 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA), 2.5 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO / TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98; 60 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO / Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA
Without S9 mix: N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), 5 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO / TA 1535, TA 100; 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (NOPD), 10 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO / TA 98; 9-aminoacridine (AAC), 100 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO / TA 1537; 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO) (SIGMA, N-8141), 5 μg/plate, dissolved in DMSO / E. coli WP2 uvrA

Evaluation criteria:

Acceptance criteria:
Generally, the experiment is considered valid if the following criteria are 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 within the range of the historical positive control data or above.
• Fresh bacterial culture containing approximately 10^9 cells per mL were used. For approval the titer of viable bacteria was ≥ 10^8 colonies per mL.

Assessment criteria:
The test substance is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.

A test substance is generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
positive

The substance is mutagenic in the Ames test.

Executive summary:

The Ames test (OECD 471, GLP) was performed with Salmonella typhimuriam strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and E. coli WP2 uvrA with doses between 33 μg - 5000 μg/plate in the standard plate assay with and without metabolic activation (liver S9 mix from induced rats). Precipitation of the test substance was found from 333 μg/plate onward with and without S9 mix. No bacteriotoxic effect was observed under all test conditions. A biologically 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 either with or without S9 mix using tester strains TA 1535 and E.coli WP2uvrA.

A distinct and dose dependent increase in the number of his+ revertants exceeding a factor of 2 compared to the concurrent vehicle control was observed with TA 100 and TA 98 with and without metabolic activation. Using tester strain TA 1537, a distinct and dose depending increase of revertants exceeding a factor of 3 compared to the concurrent vehicle control was observed in the standard plate test with and without metabolic activation.
