DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: assessment of the reduction in the number of revertant colonies and diminution of the background lawn - Rationale for test conditions:
- Standard plate incorporation test conditions.
- Evaluation criteria:
- A significant increase in number of mutant colonies is considered a mutagenic response. A dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose levels supports this. An additional general rule is that two-fold (or more) increases in mean revertant numbers must be observed between the solvent control and a specific dose level.
- Statistics:
- An estimation of the statistical significance of the difference between the mean number of revertants in the negative controls and the plates at each dosage level was made using a X2-test (Mohn and Ellenberger, 1977).

- Additional information on results:
- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: Precipitation of the test compound on the plates was observed at 1500 and 5000 µg/plate.
RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: Initial toxicity test was performed to determine dose levels.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
- The number of spontaneous revertants observed using each of the live strains was close to those previously established in the laboratory and was within the range obtained by Ames et al. (1975) as well as reported by De Serres and Shelby (1979).
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
- Cytotoxicity was observed in the presence of S9-mix towards the strains TA1537 and TA102 at 5000 µg/plate and in the absence of S9-mix towards the strain TA102 at 5000 µg/plate.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, the test substance was determined to be not mutagenic and does not need to be classified for mutagenicity in accordance with the criteria outline in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
- Executive summary:
The mutagenic activity of the substance was evaluated in accordance with OECD 471 (1997) and according to GLP principles. The test was performed according to the standard plate-incorporation assay, in the absence and presence of S9-mix. The dose levels were selected based on an initial toxicity test. Adequate negative and positive controls were included. A significant increase in the mutation frequency of the tester strain TA102 in the presence of a metabolic activation system was seen in one of three experiments. This was not observed in the absence of S9-mix. The substance did not induce a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies in any of the other S. typhimurium strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100), both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation. The significant increase in mutation frequency for TA102 was only evident in 1 out of 3 tests which have been performed with a metabolizing system, not found to be dose-dependent and also not two-fold as compared to the solvent control. Also the mean mutant frequency at each of the dose levels was still within the historical control range for this strain. Based on this, the overall result for strain TA102 is considered negative, as well as for the other strains. Based on these results, the substance was found to be not mutagenic and does not need to be classified for mutagenicity in accordance with the criteria outline in Annex I of the CLP Regulation (1272/2008/EC).
