- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- Type and composition of metabolic activation system: Phenobarbitone / β-Naphthoflavone induced S9 Microsomal fractions (Sprague-Dawley);
- source of S9: purchased from Moltox; Lot No. 4222; the protein level was adjusted to 20 mg/mL;
- method of preparation of S9 mix: The S9-mix was prepared before using sterilized co-factors and maintained on ice for the duration of the test (S9: 5.0 mL, 1.65 M KCl/0.4 M MgCl2: 1.0 mL, 0.1 M glucose-6-phosphate: 2.5 mL, 0.1 M NADP: 2.0 mL, 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4): 25.0 mL, sterile distilled water 14.5 mL);
- concentration or volume of S9 mix and S9 in the final culture medium: 0.5 mL S9 mix (i.e. 0.05 mL S9)
- quality controls of S9: A 0.5 mL aliquot of S9-mix and 2 mL of molten, trace histidine or tryptophan supplemented top agar were overlaid onto a sterile Vogel-Bonner Minimal agar plate in order to assess the sterility of the S9-mix. This procedure was repeated, in triplicate, on the day of the experiment. - Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- - Experiment 1 (plate incorporation): 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate (5000 µg/plate is the maximum recommended dose level according to OECD TG 471);
- Experiment 2 (preincubation): 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500, 3000 and 5000 µg/plate
Dose range used for Experiment 2 was determined by the results of Experiment 1. Seven test item concentrations were selected in Experiment 2 in order to ensure the study achieved at least four non-toxic dose levels as required by the test guideline, and were selected based on the lack of cytotoxicity noted in Experiment 1, and the potential for a change in the cytotoxicity of the test item following the change in test methodology from plate incorporation to pre-incubation. An intermediate dose level (3000 µg/plate) was also included following the observation of small but statistically significant increases in revertant colony frequency noted in the first mutation test. - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: sterile distilled water
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle:
The test item was fully miscible in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/mL in solubility checks.
The test item was accurately weighed and, on the day of the experiment, approximate half-log dilutions prepared in sterile distilled water by mixing on a vortex mixer. Formulated concentrations were adjusted to allow for test item purity with a correction factor of 1.02 employed. All test item preparation and dosing was performed under yellow safety lighting. All formulations were used within four hours of preparation and were assumed to be stable for this period. Analysis for concentration, homogeneity and stability of the test item formulations was not determined.

- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration: triplicate;
- Number of independent experiments: 2;
METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Test substance added in agar (plate incorporation; Experiment 1); preincubation (Experiment 2);
Experiment 1:
A 0.1 mL aliquot of the appropriate concentration of test item, solvent vehicle or 0.1 mL of the appropriate positive control was added together with 0.1 mL of the bacterial strain culture, 0.5 mL of phosphate buffer or S9-mix and 2 mL of molten, trace amino-acid supplemented media. These were then mixed and overlayed onto a Vogel-Bonner agar plate. Negative (untreated) controls were also performed on the same day as the mutation test.
Experiment 2:
A 0.1 mL aliquot of the appropriate bacterial strain culture, 0.5 mL of phosphate buffer or S9-mix and 0.1 mL of the appropriate concentration of test item formulation, solvent vehicle or 0.1 mL of appropriate positive control were incubated at 37 ± 3 °C (with shaking) prior to addition of 2 mL of molten, trace amino-acid supplemented media and subsequent plating onto Vogel-Bonner plates. Negative (untreated) controls were also performed on the same day as the mutation test employing the plate incorporation method (see above, Experiment 1).
TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Preincubation period (Experiment 2): 20 minutes;
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: between 48 and 72 hours;
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: background growth inhibition (the plates were viewed microscopically for evidence of thinning of the background bacterial lawn);
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY: Plates were scored for the presence of revertant colonies using an automated colony counting system after incubation at 37 +/- 3 °C. - Rationale for test conditions:
- according to OECD TG 471
- Evaluation criteria:
- There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested.
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against historical control ranges of the lab.
4. A fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for TA100, TA98 and WP2uvrA or a three-fold increase for TA1535 and TA1537 (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response).
5. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS.
A test item is considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
Although most experiments give clear positive or negative results, in some instances the data generated prohibit making a definite judgment about test item activity. Results of this type are reported as equivocal. - Statistics:
- Statistical significance was confirmed by using Dunnett’s Regression Analysis (* = p < 0.05) for those values that indicate statistically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies compared to the concurrent solvent control.

- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Water solubility: The test item was fully miscible in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/mL in solubility checks.
- Precipitation and time of the determination: No test item precipitate was observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix) in Experiment 1 and 2.
- Other confounding effects:
Prior to use, the relevant strains were checked for characteristics (deep rough character, ampicillin resistance, UV light sensitivity and histidine or tryptophan auxotrophy), viability and spontaneous reversion rate (all were found to be satisfactory). The amino acid supplemented top agar and the S9-mix used in both experiments were shown to be sterile. The test item formulation was also shown to be sterile.
STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle negative and positive control data: Results for the negative controls (spontaneous mutation rates) and viability were considered to be acceptable. The vehicle (sterile distilled water) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the historical control range of the lab in both the absence and presence of S9. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation. All of the acceptability criteria were considered to be met. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.
Ames test:
- Signs of toxicity: There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix) in Experiment 1 and 2.
- Results:
Experiment 1 (plate incorporation): Small but statistically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded with doses of the test item at 5000 µg/plate for bacterial strains TA100 and WP2uvrA (absence and presence of S9) and TA1535 and TA98 in the presence of S9. Whilst a two or three-fold increase was not achieved for any of the bacterial strains, individual revertant colony counts were at the upper limit or in excess of the historical untreated/vehicle control maxima of the lab.
Experiment 2 (preincubation): Statistically significant and dose-related increases in WP2uvrA revertant colony frequency were noted from 500 µg/plate in the absence of S9 and 3000 µg/plate in the presence of S9. Maximum increases in excess of two-fold (of 6.3-fold and 3.6-fold) when compared to the concurrent vehicle controls were noted in the absence and presence of S9 respectively. These responses were also accompanied by individual colony counts in excess of the historical untreated/vehicle control maxima of the lab for the strain with clear evidence of dose-related increase. There were also smaller statistically significant increases noted in TA100, TA1535, TA98 (absence and presence of S9) and TA1537 in the absence of S9 at and/or above 1500 µg/plate. Whilst these increases did not achieve a 2 or 3-fold response (depending on tester strain type) over the concurrent vehicle control, the individual revertant colony counts, particularly in the case of TA100 dosed in the presence of S9, were in excess of the in-house
historical control maxima.
See Tables 1 - 4 under Any other information on results incl. tables for individual plate counts & mean number of revertant colonies per plate and standard deviation.
