Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test compound proved to be toxic to most of the bacterial strains at 5000 µg/plate. 5000 µg/plate was chosen as top dose level for the mutagenicity study. Parabaseester is not mutagenic in this bacterial test system either with or without exogenous metabolic activation at the dose levels investigated

Executive summary:

Parabaseester was tested for mutagenicity with the strains TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA.

The mutagenicity studies were conducted in the absence and in the presence of a metabolizing system derived from rat liver homogenate. A dose range of 6 different doses from 4 µg/plate to 5000 µg/plate was used.

Control plates without mutagen showed that the number of spontaneous revertant colonies was similar to that described in the literature. All the positive control compounds gave the expected increase in the number of revertant colonies.

Toxicity: The test compound proved to be toxic to most of the bacterial strains at 5000 µg/plate. 5000 µg/plate was chosen as top dose level for the mutagenicity study.

Mutagenicity: In the absence of the metabolic activation system the test compound did not show a dose dependent increase in the number of revertants in any of the bacterial strains. Also in the presence of a metabolic activation system, treatment of the cells with Parabaseester did not result in relevant increases in the number of revertant colonies.

 

Summarizing, it can be stated that Parabaseester is not mutagenic in these bacterial test systems either with or without exogenous metabolic activation at the dose levels investigated.
