Standard plate test

Without S-9 mix: a slight increase of the mutation rate with TA 1535 at 2500 and 5000 µg (factor 1.7); no increase was observed with TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 98.

 

With S-9 mix: a slight increase of the mutation rate with TA 1535 in a dose dependent manner reaching factor 2 at a dose of 5000 µg; no increase was observed with TA 100, TA 1537 and TA 98.

 

Modified exsiccator test:

Without S-9 mix: an increase of factor 1.7 to 4.7 with TA 1535 (3000 µl/30 l exsiccator), increase of factor 4.3 to 5.3 with TA 1535 (6000 µl/30 l exsiccator), only slight increase (factor 1.7) with TA 100 in 1/2 experiments (6000 µl/30 l exsiccator).

 

With S-9 mix (without glutathione): an increase of factor 6.1 to 8.9 with TA 1535 (3000 µl/30 l exsiccator), increase of factor 5.8 to 10.0 with TA 1535 (6000 µl/30 l exsiccator), only slight increase (factor 2.2) with TA 100 in 1 out of 2 experiments (3000 µl/30 l exsiccator), only slight increase (factor 1.8 -2.3) with TA 100 (6000 µl/30 l exsiccator) with S-9 mix (supplemented with glutathione): mutagenic with TA 1535 at both concentrations (factor 30.5 -41.2), increase of factor 2.0 to 4.9 with TA 100 depending on the amount of test substance.
