Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Under the conditions of this study the test material was considered to be non-mutagenic in the presence and absence of S9 activation.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to the requirements of OECD Guideline 471 under GLP conditions, to evaluate the potential mutagenicity of the test substance in a bacterial reverse mutation assay using S.typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA- in both the presence and absence of S-9 mix.

A preliminary test was performed to determine the toxicity of the test material.A range-finding study was performed to to determine the doses used for the main test. In the main test, the plate incorporation method was used and was evaluated at a concentration of up to 5000 µg/plate. Positive controls appropriate for each strain, in the presence and absence of S9 -mix, were included. The test substance did not induce any significant, reproducible increases in the observed number of revertant colonies in any of the strains tested, either in the presence or absence of S9-mix. The sensitivity of the test system and the metabolic activity of the S9-mix were clearly demonstrated by the increases in the numbers of revertant colonies induced by the positive control substances. It was concluded that, under the conditions of this assay, the test substance gave a negative, i.e. non-mutagenic response in S.typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA- in the presence and absence of S-9 mix.
