SOURCE OF TEST SYSTEM:
- TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 100 and TA 102 strains: Ames' Laboratory (University of California, Berkeley, USA)
- TA 98 strain: von E. Merck (Darmstadt, Germany)

METHOD OF APPLICATION: In agar (plate incorporation and preincubation method)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 minutes at 37 °C
- Incubation period: 48 h at 37 °C for both plate incorporation and preincubation methods

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates/dose

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Evaluation of the toxicity was performed on the basis of the observation of the decrease in the number of spontaneous revertants or a clearing of the bacterial background lawn.

OTHER:
- Colonies were counted using the AUTOCOUNT (Artek Systems Corporation, BIOSYS GmbH, Karben, Germany)
- Pre-experiment was reported as part of the main experiment 1.
Evaluation criteria:
- Test item is considered positive if either a dose related increase in the number of revertants or a biologically relevant increase for at least one test concentration is induced.
- Test item producing neither a dose related increase in the number of revertants nor a biologically relevant positive response at anyone of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system.

Biologically relevant response is described as follows:
- Test item is considered mutagenic if the number of reversions is at least twice the spontaneous reversion rate in strains TA 98, TA 100, and TA 102 or thrice in strains TA 1535 and TA 1537.
- Also, a dose-dependent and reproducible increase in the number of revertants is regarded as an indication of possibly existing mutagenic potential of the test item regardless whether the highest dose induced the criteria described above or not.
Statistics:
None

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: No precipitation of the test item occurred up to 5000 µg/plate

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
- Toxic effects were evident as the reduction of number of revertant colonies with the test item compared to vehicle control.
- Plates with the test item showed normal background growth up to 5000 µg/plate in strain TA 98 and TA 100.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
- Results were compared with historical control data (generated since 1995)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants were observed at the following concentrations:
Experiment 1:
- Without S9 mix: 333 and 1000 µg/plate (TA 1535 and TA 1537), 5000 µg/plate (TA 98), 100-5000 µg/plate (TA 100), 2500 µg/plate (TA 102)
- With S9 mix: 1000 µg/plate (TA 1537), 5000 µg/plate (TA 98), 333-5000 µg/plate (TA 100), 2500 µg/plate (TA 102)

Experiment 2:
- Without S9 mix: 333 and 1000 µg/plate (TA 1535), 100-1000 µg/plate (TA 1537), 5000 µg/plate (TA 98), 100-5000 µg/plate (TA 100)
- With S9 mix: 333 and 1000 µg/plate (TA 1537), 333-5000 µg/plate (TA 100)

- In experiment 1, a reduction in the number of revertants was also observed without S9 mix in strain TA 1535 at 33 µg/plate and in strain TA 1537 at 10 µg/plate. This reduction is judged to be based upon statistical fluctuations at such low numbers of bacteria and does not represent a true toxic effect.
- Plates incubated with the test item showed normal background growth up to the highest concentration with and without S9 mix in all strains used.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

Under the test conditions, the substance is not considered as mutagenic in S. typhimurium strains (TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102).
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, performed according to the OECD Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP, strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102) were exposed to the substance at the following concentrations:

Pre-experiment for toxicity: 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate, with and without S9 mix in TA 98 and TA 100 strains (plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods)

Main experiment (with and without S9 mix): Experiment 1 (plate incorporation method) and Experiment 2 (pre-incubation method):

- 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate in TA 98 and TA 100 strains

- 3, 10, 33, 100, 333 and 1000 µg/plate in TA 1535 and TA 1537 strains

- 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000 and 2500 µg/plate in TA 102 strain

Metabolic activation system used in this test was 15 % (v/v) S9 mix. S9 fraction were prepared from liver homogenates of male Wistar Hanlbm rats induced with phenobarbital (80 mg/kg bw, intraperitoneal route) and β-Naphthoflavone (oral route). Negative (untreated), vehicle and positive control groups were also included in this test.

Test substance did not induce precipitation. Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants, were observed with and without metabolic activation in all strains used. The negative, vehicle and positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. The test item showed no substantial increases in revertant colony numbers over control count obtained with any of the tester strains at any concentrations in either presence or absence of S9 mix.

Under the test conditions, the substance is not considered as mutagenic in this bacterial system.
