Description of key information
In vitro gene mutation study in mammalian cells was conducted by H. E. Seifried et.al (Chem. Res. Toxicol,2006) to evaluate the mutagenic potential of target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) in mammalian cell line. The mutagenic potency of 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was tested on theL5178Y TK+/-3.7.C mouse lymphoma cells. The test compound was found to be non-mutagenic when the mammalian cell was exposed for 4 hrs along with the total expression time of 48 hrs by using test concentration of 1.0– 349 µg/ml. The test compound induces no mutagenic response both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system. Therefore 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was considered to be non mutagenic in mammalian cell.

In different studies, 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) has been investigated for potential of mutagenic response with and without metabolic activation. The studies are based on in vitro gene mutation study in mammalian cells and bacteria for target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) . Different studies based on these experiments are concluded below
In vitro gene mutation study in mammalian cells was conducted by H. E. Seifried et.al (Chem. Res. Toxicol,2006) to evaluate the mutagenic potential of target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) in mammalian cell line. The mutagenic potency of 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was tested on theL5178Y TK+/-3.7.C mouse lymphoma cells. The test compound was found to be non-mutagenic when the mammalian cell was exposed for 4 hrs along with the total expression time of 48 hrs by using test concentration of 1.0– 349 µg/ml. The test compound induces no mutagenic response both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system. Therefore 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was considered to be non mutagenic in mammalian cell.
Supported by In vitro gene mutation study in mammalian cells conducted by T.P. Cameron et al.(Mutation Research,1987) the mutagenic potential of target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) in mammalian cell line. The mutagenic potency of the1- (2, 4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was tested on theL5178Y TK+/-mouse lymphoma cells. The test compound was found to be non-mutagenic when the mammalian cell was exposed for 4 hrs along with the total expression time of 48 at the test concentration of 0.0, 1.0, 2.3, 3.6, 4.9 and 6.1µg/ ml. A test result was considered positive if there was a dose-related increase in the mutant frequency above the spontaneous control frequency, with a 2-fold increase at more than 1 dose and relative total growth greater than 10%.The relative total growth was observed to be 4and 8at the test concentration of 6.1µg/ ml. Mutant frequency (per 104cells) was also found to be less than the spontaneous control frequency at more than 1 dose. This in vitro gene mutation study in mammalian cells is a confirmatory test performed to conclude about the mutagenic potential of substance. Therefore based on the result it can be concluded that1- (2, 4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) does not induces mutagenic response both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system in mammalian cell.
Further supported by in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria conducted by H. E. Seifried et.al (Chem. Res. Toxicol,2006) to evaluate the mutagenic potential of target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) in bacterial strain. The mutagenic potency of 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol was tested by the plate incorporation method usingSalmonella typhimuriumstrain TA98 and TA1538. The test material was used at the concentration of 1.0-1000 µg /plate .When the test bacterial strain is exposed with the test chemical for 48hrs, mutagenic response was seen in both the strains ofSalmonella typhimurium(with and without metabolic activation system). Therefore 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol(3118-97-6) was considered to be inducing mutagenic response inSalmonella typhimuriumstrain TA98 and TA1538 (with and without metabolic activation system).
Another supporting in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria was conducted by T.P. Cameron et al.(Mutation Research,1987)to evaluate the mutagenic potential of target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) in bacterial strain.The mutagenic potency of1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was tested by the plate incorporation method using Salmonella typhimuriumstrainTA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538. When the test bacterial strain is exposed with test chemical at concentration of 0,333,1000,3333,6666 and 10000 µg/plate, mutagenic response was seen in all strains ofSalmonella typhimuriumstrainTA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA1538(with and without metabolic activation system). Therefore 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl) diazenyl]-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) was considered to be positive for mutagenic response in screening AMES test .
Other supporting in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria was conducted by T.P. Cameron et al.(Mutation Research,1987) to evaluate the mutagenic potential of target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) in bacterial strain.The mutagenic potency of 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol (3118-97-6)was tested by FMN modified pre-incubation method usingSalmonella typhimurium strain TA98 and TA100.Test concentration of 1.0 ,10,33,100,333,1000,3333,6666 and 10000µg/plate was used for 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol. When the test bacterial strain is exposed with the test chemical for 48hrs, significant mutagenic response was seen in both the strains of Salmonella typhimuriumin the presence of metabolic activation system. Therefore 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol(3118-97-6) was considered to be positive for mutagenic response in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 and TA100 by FMN modified pre-incubation method.
One another supporting in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria was conducted by R. COLIN GARNER et al.(Mutation Research,1977) to evaluate the mutagenic potential of target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) in bacterial strain. For this purpose bacterial gene mutation assay was performed in S. typhimurium strains TA1538. The test material was tested by the modified soft agar overlay method using Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 by using a concentration of 0, 50 and 100 µg /plate in the presence and absence of liver enzyme preparation (metabolic activation system). Mutagenic response was seen in the tested bacterial strain in the presence of metabolic activation system while no mutagenic effect was observed without metabolic activation. All the results which are obtained in the study are the mean of the duplicate assays which are performed. Therefore, 1-[(2,4-dimethylphenyl)diazenyl]-2-naphthol induces mutation in the Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 in the presence of metabolic activation system.
Bacterial reverse mutation assay is a screening test for mutagenic response, while mammalian cell gene mutation assay is a confirmatory test for mutagenic response. As per the above studies the target chemical 1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol is considered to be non mutagenic according to In vitro gene mutation study in mammalian cells. While according to in vitro gene mutation study in bacteria the target chemical is mutagenic. On the basis of the confirmatory tests, the test substance was observed to be non mutagenic with and without metabolic activator in mammalian cell. This confirmatory test concludes that the test substance shows negative result for mutagenic potential. Thusbased on the available data for the target chemical,1-(2,4-dimethylphenylazo)-2-naphthol (3118-97-6) does notexhibits gene mutation toxicity in vitro. Hence, the chemical isnot likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
