Determination OF CYTOTOXICITY:
- Method
other: by back ground lawn - Evaluation criteria:
- Criteria for positivity of results included rate of increase of induced versus spontaneous revertants, dose dependence and reproducibility in separate
experiments (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
The indications concerning the effect of S9 mix on mutagenicity, are intended to specify the metabolic trends of positive compounds in the
presence of liver S9 fractions, as inferred from dose-response data obtained by varying the concentrations either of test compound or of S9
fraction.
In the Ames test the mutagenic potency was expressed by dividing the number of revertants in excess of controls - as determined at the top level
of the linear part of dose-response curves with the most sensitive strain (identified with a C) symbol + by the corresponding amount of compound (in nmoles). Potency data were in the absence of S9 mix for direct-acting mutagens and in the presence of S9 mix for mutagens requiring
metabolic activation or undergoing an increase in activity. For negative compounds, 'less than' figures were caluclated by dividing an arbitrary
value of 100 revertants by the nmoles corresponding to the maximum dose of compound tested. - Statistics:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: A 2-M concentration of NaCI reduces survival.
It is known also that 2 M NaCI enhances the mutation frequency, somatic recombination andgene conversion in diploid yeast (Magni and Sora, unpublished data; Parker et al., 1986). Therefore,NaCI may induce chromosome breakage as well asmutations in yeast. - Conclusions:
- Results: negative with and without metabolic activation.
Based on the results of the experiment NaCl was negative in the Ames reverse mutation assay. - Executive summary:
All the compounds were assayed in the Ames test with 5 his- S. typhimurium strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100), whose genetic features were described by Ames et al. (1975). Salmonella strains were a kind gift from Prof. Bruce N. Ames (Department of Biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley, CA, U.S.A.).
The plate-incorporation test was performed according to the standard procedure described by Ames et al. (1975), with some revisions suggested by Bruce N. Ames (personal communication) and now published by Maron and Ames (1983).
Each compound was tested with each strain, both with and without S9 mix, at various dilutions (in duplicate or triplicate plates) performed by a geometric ratio of 2, starting from its solubility or toxicity limit. Throughout the period of experiments the spontaneous reversion rate of Salmonella tester strains was within the ranges indicated by Ames et al. (1975) and Maron and Ames (1983).
All the compounds were assayed in the Ames test with 5 his- S. typhimurium strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA1538, TA98 and TA100), whose genetic features were described by Ames et al. (1975). Salmonella strains were a kind gift from Prof. Bruce N. Ames (Department of Biochemistry, University of California, Berkeley, CA, U.S.A.).
3 isogenic E. coli strains were used in the DNA-repair test, i.e. WP2 (wild-type, repair-profi164 cient) (Witkin, 1956), WP67 (uvrA-polA ) (Witkin, 1967) and CM871 (uvrA- recA lexA ) (Tweats et al., 1981). In some preliminary assays with the spot test strains WP2uvrA (uurA) (Hill,1958) and TM1080 (polA- lexA- plasmid R391) (Venturini and Monti-Bragadin, 1978) were also used. All these bacteria carry an ochre nonsense mutation blocking an intermediate process in the synthesis of tryptophan (Bridges et al., 1967). E. coli strains were a kind gift from Prof. C. Monti- Bragadin (Institute of Microbiology, University of Trieste, Italy).

Additional information
One study is available on each component regarding bacterial mutagenic test.

For Sodium chloride One OECD 471 study (De Flora et al, 1984) is available. The sodium chloride is not considered as genotoxic
For the sodium sulfate, also on Ames test is available (Bayer 1988). . The results are negative with and without metabolic activation.
