Evaluation criteria:
Increase in the number of revertants, Toxicity toward the Ames Salmonella TA100 strain used was roughly estimated by visual comparison of the background lawn on the plate under a microscope, with 100% representing the same number of bacteria per unit area as the blank with no test solution (no toxicity) and 0 representing death of all bacteria.
Statistics:
No data available

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test compound failed to induce mutation in the Salmonella typhimurium TA100 and hence is not a mutagen.
Executive summary:

Ames assay was performed to evaluate the mutagenic nature of the test compound m-Methoxyacetophenone usingSalmonella typhimuriumTA100. The test compound was tested at dose levels of 103, 102, 101, 100and 10-1ug per plate.

 

The test compoundm-Methoxyacetophenonefailed to induce mutation in theSalmonella typhimuriumTA100 and hence is not a mutagen.
