Confirmation of the Criteria and Validity

The treatments for the sterility control and the determination of the titre did not show any inconsistencies. The determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls were in the normal range of the test laboratory (historical data of the laboratory). All positive controls (diagnostic mutagenes) showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation.

Solubility and Toxicity

The test item was dissolved in ethanol. A stock solution containing 50 g/L was prepared.

Signs of toxicity towards the tested strains were observed in the first experiment in the four highest concentrations (5031, 1509, 503 and 151 µg/plate): No growth was found on these plates.

In the second and third experiment no signs of toxicity towards the tested strains were observed. The background lawn was visible and the number of revertant colonies was not significantly reduced.

 

Mutagenicity

No significant increase in the number of revertant colonies in the treatments with and without metabolic activation could be observed. No concentration-related increase was found over the tested concentration range.

As only one concentration in the first experiment could be evaluated due to the test item’s toxicity, the test was repeated using a lower concentration range.  

The test item was considered as not mutagenic under the test conditions.

A third experiment was performed using the pre-incubation method which verifies this result.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

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

The test item 400112 is considered not mutagenic under the test conditions.
Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of 400112 has been tested according to OECD guideline 471 and EU method B.13/14 in a GLP certified testing facility.

The test item 400112 is considered not mutagenic under the test conditions.

The test item showed cytotoxicity towards the bacteria in the first experiment in the four highest concentrations (5030.8, 1509.2, 503 and 151 µg/plate). Therefore, a second experiment using the plate incorporation method was performed with lower concentrations (0.6 – 61 µg/plate). No significant increase of the number of revertant colonies in the treatments with and without metabolic activation was observed. No concentration-related increase over the tested range was found. Therefore, the test item was considered as not mutagenic under the test conditions.

On the base of the results of this second experiment, a third experiment was performed with the pre-incubation method to verify this result.

The confirmation tests of the genotype did not show any irregularities. The control of the titre was above the demanded value. The numbers of revertant colonies of the positive controls were within the range of the historical data of the laboratory and were definitely increased in comparison to the negative controls, as well as showing mutagenic potential of the diagnostic mutagens.

Spontaneous revertants were within the normal range in comparison with the historical data of LAUS GmbH.

For these reasons, the result of the test is considered valid.
