- Metabolic activation system:
- Aroclor-induced rat liver S9 (10% (v/v))
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Preliminary test (vehicle DMSO): 6.7, 10, 33, 67, 100, 333, 667, 1000, 3333 and 5000 µg/plate
Experiments were done with and without metabolic activation system
Final Mutagenicity tests (vehicle ethanol):
Experiment B1: 25, 75, 200, 600, 1800 and 5000 µg/plate
All tester strains with and without metabolic activation (10% (v/v) rat liver S9-mix)
Experiment B2: 25, 75, 200, 600, 1800, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate
Strain TA 100 and TA1537 with metabolic activation (10% (v/v) rat liver S9-mix)
Experiment B3 and 4: 25, 75, 200, 600, 1800, 2500, 3333 and 5000 µg/plate
Strain TA1537 with metabolic activation (B3: 5% (v/v) rat liver S9-mix; B4: 10% (v/v) rat liver S9-mix ). - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used:
Preliminary test: DMSO
Final Mutagenicity tests: ethanol
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: while DMSO would allow the bacterial mutation test to be conducted at the regulatory-required top dose of 5 mg per plate the regulatory -required top doses could not be achieved in the other genetic toxicology assays when using DMSO. For the reason of comparability with other tests, ethanol was subsequently selected as the solvent of choice based on compatibility with the target cells and solubility of the test substance. The test substance was soluble and clear in ethanol at approx. 500 mg/ml, the maximum concentration tested .

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
The condition of the bacterial background lawn was evaluated for evidence of test substance toxicity by using a dissecting microscope. Precipitate was evaluated by using visual examination without magnification. Toxicity and degree of precipitation were scored relative to the behicle control plate. - Evaluation criteria:
- For the test item to be considered positive a dose dependent increase in mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimm of two increasing concentrations must be seen.
Moreover the test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants equaling or exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100, WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535, TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent colony is observed. - Statistics:
- Arithmetic means and standard deviation of the counted colonies were calculated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with and without metabolic activation
Under the test conditions the test item did not exert mutagenic activity in the reverse bacterial mutation assay with and without metabolic activation. - Executive summary:
Mutagenic activity of the test item was investigated in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA98 and TA100 as well as Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA with (induced rat liver S9 mix at 10 % (v/v)) and without metabolic activation at concentrations of 25, 75, 200, 600, 1800 and 5000 µg/plate in the plate incorporation assay (according to OECD471, GLP, vehicle ethanol).
Restesting of strain TA1537 with metabolic activation at various S9 mix concentrations (i.e. 5, 10 or 15 % (v/v); experiuments B2, B3 or B4 respectively) was done at 25, 75, 200, 600, 1800, 2500, 3333, and 5000 µg/plate (Experiment B2 without concentration 3333 µg/plate) also in the plate incorporation assay. Toxicity was observed beginning at 1800 µg per plate up to the highest dose tested in all strains. No precipitate was observed.The test item did not reveal any mutagenic activity under the conditions tested. The appropriate reference mutagenes showed distinct positive mutagenic effects.
