Species / strain 2

Species / strain / cell type:

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

All incubations were carried out in a controlled environment at a temperature of 37.0 ± 1.0°C (actual range 33.2 – 39.3°C). The temperature was continuously monitored throughout the experiment.

Rationale for test conditions:

The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory background historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.

Evaluation criteria:

A test item is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 or WP2uvrA is not greater than two
(2) times the concurrent vehicle control, and the total number of revertants in tester
strains TA1535, TA1537 or TA98 is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent
vehicle control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated
experiment.
A test item is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 or WP2uvrA is greater than two (2)
times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535,
TA1537 or TA98 is greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) In case a positive response will be repeated, the positive response should be reproducible
in at least one independently repeated experiment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

Folione did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the four tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in tester strain WP2uvrA both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in an independently repeated experiment.

Based on the results of this study it is concluded that Folione is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
