HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
A historical overview of the revertant frequencies of the strains used in the Freiburger Labor fur Mutagenitätsprüfung of the year 2000:
Mix: -S9 +S9
Strain: spontaneous solvent control spontaneous solvent control
TA1535: 19±5 (12/31) 19±5 (11/31) 13±5 (7/23) 14±7 (6/36)
TA1537: 10±4 (5/15) 11±4 (8/16) 15±3 (11/20) 15±3 (11/21)
TA98: 25±8 (13/41) 22±7 (15/36) 26±6 (17/36) 24±5 (14/30)
TA100: 114±19 (84/142) 105±15 (76/129) 115±18 (90/149) 108±16 (85/145)
TA102: 299±34 (225/351) 281±33 (233/332) 336±51 (261/420) 322±41 (267/388)
The historical data of positive controls of the year 2000 are given in the form: strain, mutagen (concentration of mutagen in μg/plate), mean of revertants per plate (minimum/maximum). The data of test without S9 are: TA1535, NaN3 (0.7), 631±268 (180/1065); TA1537, 9-AA (50), 259±81 (131/362); TA98, 2-NF (2.5), 361±126 (190/632); TA100, NaN3 ( 0.7), 434183 (329/665); TA102, Mitomycin C (0.15) 811±156 (577/1061). The data of the tests with lot KH3900 of S9 are: TA1535, 2-AA (0.8), 161±50 (103/264); TA1537, 2-AA (1.7), 223±66 (143/331); TA98, 2-AA (0.8), 532±159 (211/845); TA100, 2-AA (0.8), 675±216 (352/1156); TA102, 2-AA (0.8), 584±174 (383/897). Additional data of the tests with lot KH3900 of S9 are: TA98, B(a)P (5.0), 523±30 (504/558); TA100, B(a)P (5.0), 801±58 (746/862).
The number of spontaneous revertants observed using each of the five 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). The results with the positive control substances confirmed the known reversion properties and specificity of the tester strains as well as the fall activity of the metabolizing system.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
-In the absence of S9-mix TETRAHYDROMYRCENOL was bacteriotoxic towards the strains TA1537 and TA102 at 500 µg/plate, towards the strains TA1535 and TA100 at 1500 µg/plate, and towards the strain TA98
at 5000 µg/plate.
-In the presence of S9-mix TETRAHYDROMYRCENOL was bacteriotoxic towards the strain TA1537 at 500 µg/plate, towards the strains TA100 and TA102 at 1500 µg/plate and towards the strain TA98 at 5000 μg/plate.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the conditions of this study, TetrahydroMyrcenol was determined to be not mutagenic.
- Executive summary:
The mutagenic activity of TetrahydroMyrcenol was evaluated in accordance with OECD TG 471 and according to GLP principles. The test was performed as a standard plate incorporation assay, both in the absence and presence of S9-mix up to and including 5000 μg/plate. Cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants and background lawn, was observed. In the absence of S9-mix test material was toxic towards the strains TA1537 and TA102 at 500µg/plate, towards the strains TA1535 and TA100 at 1500µg/plate, and towards the strain TA98 at 5000µg/plate. In the presence of S9-mix test material was bacteriotoxic towards the strain TA1537 at 500µg/plate, towards the strains TA100 and TA102 at 1500µg/plate and towards the strain TA98 at 5000 μg/plate. No precipitation was observed at any of the concentrations. Adequate negative and positive controls were included. The substance did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the five S. typhimurium tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 TA102), both in the absence and presence of S9 -metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in an independently repeated experiment.
