DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: In a preliminary toxicity assay determination of reduction in the revertant colony number, appearance of microcolonies, and/or observation of thinning or absence of the background lawn. Each test substance dose (14 doses of 0.02 to 150 ul/plate), as well as the appropriate solvent control, was evaluated in strain TA100 in the standard plate incorporation assay. In TA 100 the test material was completely toxic to revertant colonies at 9.38 ul/plate.

Evaluation criteria:

The criteria used to determine positive effects were based primarily on a historical data base. Most data sets were evaluated using the following criteria:
If the solvent control value is within the normal range, a test material producing a positive response equal to three times the solvent control value is considered mutagenic for strains TA 1535, and equal to twice the solvent control value for strains TA 98 and TA 100.
The following ranges of revertants for solvent controls are generally considered acceptable:
TA 1535: 8-30; TA 98: 20-75; TA 100: 80-250.

Statistics:

Mean values and standard deviation (SD).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

The test material, did not exhibit genetic activity in any of the assays conducted for this evaluation and was considered not mutagenic under these test conditions. It was concluded that linalool does not need to be classified as mutagenic according to the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC and Annex VI of 67/548/EEC.

Executive summary:

The test compound was examined for mutagenic activity in a series of in vitro microbial plate incorporation assays employing five Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA1535, TA97, TA98, TA100, TA 102). The compound was tested directly and in presence of liver microsomal enzyme preparations from phenobarbital/5,6 benzophenone-induced rats. A negative control consisting of the solvent (DMSO) used for preparing the stock solution and subsequent dilutions of the test material, and specific positive compounds were assayed concurrently with the test material.

The results of the test conducted on Dihydrolinalool in the absence and presence of a rat liver metabolic activation system were negative. The test material, did not exhibit genetic activity in any of the assays conducted for this evaluation and was considered not mutagenic under these test conditions. It was concluded that Dihydrolinalool does not need to be classified as mutagenic according to the criteria outlined in Annex I of 1272/2008/EC and Annex VI of 67/548/EEC.
