Principles of method if other than guideline:

The strains subcultured from storage dishes have been cultivated at 37°C in a nutritive medium (oxoid No 2 CM67). They have been collected in the morning from the shelf (approx. 2 x 10 x e9 bacteria/ml) and used the same day after approx. 16 hours of culture. The minimum medium used to evi-dence the mutants His+ is the V.B. medium.
The spreadings have been made with an overlayer containing a concentra-tion of 0.6 .% agar oxoid, 0.5 % sodium chloride, 0.05 mM biotine and L- Histidine, for a total volume of 2.5 ml. The amount of histidine has been cal-culated so as to allow the bacteria to divide 2 or 3 times on the plates since some mutagene agents operate only on growing cells.
A 500 mg/kg dose of Araclar 1254 dissolved in maize oil has been injected to 5prague-Oawley rats, through the peritoneum. On the 5th day after injec-tion, the rats were slaughtered. Livers were taken and homogenized at 4 •C in 0,15 M potassium chloride, and the mix was centrifuged 20 minutes at 9000 g. After centrifugation, the supernatant which constitutes the 59 frac-tion was kept in liquid nitrogen in 2 ml fractions.
The product Lab 870 has been solubilized in water for injection (Aguettant, batch 7428) at the concentration of 20 mg/ml. Successive dilutions have been carried out in the same solvent at following concentrations 10 - 5 - 1 - 0.1 mg/ml. The solutions and the pure product have been kept at 5°C for the trial duration.

Executive summary:

The substance Beta-Cyclodextrin (LAB 870) has been tested on the 5 strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538) with and without metabolic activation (S9 -mix) according to the protocol of Ames and similar to OECD Guideline 471. A range of non-toxical concentrations had been determined in a preliminary experimentation on the strain TA 100 without metabolic activation. The 5 concentrations chosen (0.1, 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mg/plate)have been tested in triplicate on the 5 strains quoted above, with and without metabolic activation. The results were confirmed in a second experiment separately from the first one.In each test a negative control (solvent) and a positive one (specific standard mutagene) had been included. The values obtained were consistent with the standards. Under these circumstances, the product did not show any mutagene power towards thestrains TA98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, TA .1538 with and without metabolic activation.
