Conclusions:

Octyl acetate failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Executive summary:

Gene mutation was predicted for Octyl acetate using SSS QSAR prediction database (2016). The study assumed the use of Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system. Octyl acetate failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not likely classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Gene mutation in vitro:

Prediction model based estimation and data from read across chemicals have been reviewed and summarized to determine the mutagenic nature of Octyl acetate:

Gene mutation was predicted for Octyl acetate using SSS QSAR prediction database (2016). The study assumed the use of Salmonella yphimurium strain TA100 with S9 metabolic activation system. Octyl acetate failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA100 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not likely classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Gene mutation was predicted for Octyl acetate using SSS QSAR prediction database (2016). The study assumed the use of Salmonella yphimurium strain TA1535 without S9 metabolic activation system. Octyl acetate failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1535 in the absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is predicted to not likely classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Gene mutation toxicity study was performed by Zeiger et al (1992) to determine the mutagenic nature of ethyl acetate and butyl acetate. The study was performed using Salmonella typhimurium strainsTA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. The chemical was dissolved in DMSO and used at dose levels of 0, 100, 333, 1000, 3333 or 10000 µg/plate for ethyl acetate and 0, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 1666, 3333 or 10000 µg/plate for buty; acetate respectively. The chemicals Ethyl acteate and Butyl acetate failed to induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strainsTA97, TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Based on the weight of evidence data summarized, Octyl acetate is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Justification for selection of genetic toxicity endpoint
