Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

The test substance was tested in an Ames Salmonella/ microsome assay. The bacterial strains used were: TA98, TA100, TA102, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA and WP2uvrA/pKM101. The test substance was tested without metabolic activation and with S-9 mix from male Sprague-Dawley rats.

The following standard mutagens served as positive controls:

AF2: 2 -(2 -furyl)-3 -(5 -nitro-2 -furyl)acrylamide, NaN3: sodium azide, 9AA: 9 -aminoacridine, 2NF: 2 -nitrofluorene, 4NQO: 4 -nitroquinoline-N-oxide, BLM: bleomycin, PA: pyruvic aldehyde, 2AA: 2 -amino anthracene.

Al chemicals except BLM and PA were dissolved in DMSO. BLM and PA were dissolved in sterile distilled water.

The test substance was found to be mutagenic only for strain  TA 100 with  metabolic activation.
