Conclusions:

In an in vitro bacterial mutation assay, alpha C18 product was not mutagenic to five strains of Salmonella typhimurium or two strains of Escherichia coli in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA1538) and 2 strains of Escherichia coli (WP2 and WP2uvrA) were exposed to alpha C18 product in acetone at concentrations of 0, 0.2, 2, 20, 200, or 2000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation using the plate-incorporation method. No increase in reverse mutation rate was noted in either assay in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. A preliminary study to assess bacterial cytotoxicity to determine appropriate doses was not performed.

This study received a Klimisch score of 2 and is classified as reliable with restrictions because no GLP statement was included and although the study adhered to most of the principles outlined in OECD 471, a few study deficiencies were noted.
