Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
DURATION
- Exposure duration: 48 to 72 hours
SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): 50 uM L-histidine in minimal top agar
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Bacterial lawn was evaluated microscopically for evidence of cytotoxicity. A dose level is considered toxic if one or both of the following are met: 1) a >50% reduction in the mean number of revertants per plate as compared to the mean control value. This reduction must be accompanied by an abrupt dose-dependant drop in the revertant count. and/or 2) at least a moderate reduction in the background lawn.
OTHER: Plates that were not counted immediately at the end of exposure were stored at 2 to 8 C until colony counting could be conducted.
Evaluation criteria:
For a test article to be considered positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of test article. Tester strains TA1535 and TA1537 were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 3.0-times the mean vehicle control value. Tester strains TA98, TA100, and WP2 uvrA were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose response was equal to or greater than 2.0-times the mean vehicle control value.
Statistics:
Mean and standard deviation of the number of revertants per plate were calculated

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative Criteria used for interpretation of results:OECD GHS

Based on the results of this study, MTDID 8191 is not mutagenic in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

OBJECTIVE: MTDID 8191 (Lot No. FC 03/167) was tested in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and Escherichia coli tester strain WP2 uvrA in either the presence or absence of Aroclor-induced rat liver S9.

METHODS: This study was compliant with USFDA GLP 21CFR58, USEPA GLP 40CFR160 and 40CFR792, UK GLP Compliance Programme, the Japan GLP standard and the OECD GLP. Analyses of the uniformity, concentration, and stability of the test article mixtures were not performed and were excluded from the compliance statement. This study was performed in accordance with ICH S2A (1996), ICH S2B (1997), and OECD 471 (1998). The assay was performed using the plate incorporation method. An initial study was performed to establish the dose range for the confirmatory mutagenicity assay and to provide a preliminary mutagenicity evaluation. The test article was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) to create a stock solution containing approximately 500 mg/mL. In the initial assay, the dose levels tested were 1.5, 5.0, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 ug per plate. No positive mutagenic response was observed at any tested concentration. Precipitate was observed at 1500 and 5000 ug per plate. No appreciable toxicity was observed. Based on these findings, dose levels of 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 ug per plate were tested in the confirmatory mutagenicity assay.

RESULTS: No positive mutagenic responses were observed in the first confirmatory assay with any of the tester strains in the presence of S9 activation or with tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 in the absence of S9 activation. Precipitate was observed at 1500 and 5000 ug per plate. No appreciable toxicity was observed. Due to a technical error, the E. coli tester strain WP2 uvrA was not tested with 1500 ug per plate in the absence of metabolic activation in the original confirmatory assay. A re-test was performed for WP2 uvrA with all dose levels in the absence of metabolic activation. No positive mutagenic response was observed in the re-test at dose levels of 50, 150, 500, 1500 or 5000 ug per plate. Precipitate was observed at 1500 and 5000 ug per plate. No appreciable toxicity was observed.

CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, MTDID 8191 was considered not mutagenic in either the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
