- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) and plate incubation.
For the plate incorporation test, For Salmonella typhimurium, test tubes containing 2-mL portions of soft agar (overlay agar), consisting of 100 mL agar (0.8 % [w/v] agar + 0.6 % [w/v] NaCl) and 10 mL amino acid solution (minimal amino acid solution for the determination of mutants: 0.5 mM histidine + 0.5 mM biotin) are kept in a water bath at about 42 - 45 °C, and the remaining components are added in the following order:
0.1 mL test solution or vehicle (negative control)
0.1 mL fresh bacterial culture
0.5 mL S9 mix (with metabolic activation) or 0.5 mL phosphate buffer (without metabolic activation)
After mixing, the samples are poured onto Vogel-Bonner agar plates (minimal glucose agar plates) within 30 seconds and incubated at 37 °C for 48 – 72 hours in the dark, after which the number of bacterial colonies were counted.
For Escherichia coli test tubes containing 2-mL portions of soft agar (overlay agar), consisting of 100 mL agar (0.8 % [w/v] agar + 0.6 % [w/v] NaCl) and 10 mL amino acid solution (minimal amino acid solution for the determination of mutants: 0.5 mM tryptophan) are kept in a water bath at about 42 - 45 °C, and the remaining components are added in the following order:
0.1 mL test solution or vehicle (negative control)
0.1 mL fresh bacterial culture
0.5 mL S9 mix (with metabolic activation) or 0.5 mL phosphate buffer (without metabolic activation)
After mixing, the samples are poured onto Vogel-Bonner agar plates (minimal glucose agar plates) within 30 seconds and incubated at 37 °C for 48 – 72 hours in the dark, after which the number of bacterial colonies were counted.
For the pre-incubation test, 0.1 mL test solution or vehicle, 0.1 mL bacterial suspension and 0.5 mL S9 mix (with metabolic activation) or phosphate buffer (without metabolic activation) are incubated at 37 °C for the duration of about 20 minutes using a shaker. 2 mL of soft agar is then added and, after mixing, the samples are poured onto the agar plates within 30 seconds.
After incubation at 37 °C for 48 - 72 hours in the dark, the bacterial colonies are counted.
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 test plates were used per dose and control. - Evaluation criteria:
- Toxicity was detected by a decrease in the number of revertants, clearing or diminution of the background lawn (= reduced his- or trp- background growth) or a reduction in the titer.
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 straineither 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. - Statistics:
- No information available.

- Additional information on results:
- Following experimentation by both the plate incorporation test and the pre-incubation method, there was no relevant in the number of histidine or tryptophan revertants, with and without metabolic activation.
In the plate incorporation test, a weak bacteriotoxic effect in the form of a slight decrease in the number of histidine revertants and a reduction in the
titer, was occasionally observed depending on the strain and test conditions at 2500 μg/plate.
In the pre-incubation assay, bacteriotoxicity in the form of reduced histidine or tryptophan background growth, a decrease in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants and a reduction in the titer was observed, depending on the strain and test conditions, from 333 μg/plate onward.
No test substance precipitation was found with and without S9 mix.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, N,N,N´,N´-Tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine does not induce mutagenic activity when tested on strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
- Executive summary:
In a study conducted in accordance with GLP and OECD 471, the mutagenic potential of N,N,N´,N´-Tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine was determined, based on its ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains in a reverse mutation assay. The study was conducted in the presence and absence of S9 mix and was conducted by plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods. The bacterial strains tested were TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and E. coli WP2 uvrA. In Experiment 1, the doses ranged from 33 μg - 5 000 μg/plate, in Experiment 2, the doses were 1 μg - 5 000 μg/plate and in Experiment 3, the doses were 33 μg - 5 000 μg/plate. Under the conditions of this study, N,N,N´,N´-Tetramethyl-1,6-hexanediamine does not induce mutagenic activity when tested on strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
