Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
Under the conditions of this test, no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation. Based on these results the test item Cinnamon bark oil can be considered non-mutagenic in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of CLP (1272/2008/EC). - Executive summary:
The genotoxicity of the test substance Cinnamon bark oil was tested in bacterial strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and E.coli WP2uvrA according to OECD guideline 471 (Ames test). Two experiments (using the plate incorporation methodology and pre-incubation methodology) were performed with concentrations of the test substance ranging from 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate, with and without metabolic activation. Negative, vehicle and positive controls were included as well. The frequency of revertant colonies was recorded.
The negative and positive controls were determined to be valid. All the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, confirming the activity of the S9-mix and the sensitivity of the bacterial strains. Cytoxicity was observed in both experiments by a reduction in growth of the bacterial background lawns, being more apparent in experiment 2 (using pre-incubation methodology). No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose test item, either with or without metabolic activation or exposure method.
Based on these results the test item Cinnamon bark oil can be considered non-mutagenic in accordance with the criteria outlined in Annex I of CLP (1272/2008/EC).
