Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The results of the Ames Salmonella plate incorporation assay indicate, that the test compound lauroyl choline chloride did not induce base pair or frame shift mutations with and without metabolic activation under the test conditions reported.
Executive summary:

Lauroyl choline chloride was assayed in a bacterial gene mutation plate incorporation assay (Ames test) using the strains TA 100, TA 1535, TA 98, TA 1537 and TA 1538 according to OECD guideline no.471. Induced his( + )revertants were determined both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation by a rat liver post-mitochondrial fraction (S9) from Aroclor 1254 induced animals.

Depending on a preliminary toxicity experiment, in two independent mutation experiments, cells were exposed to concentrations of 0.24, 1.20, 6.00, 30.0 and 150.0 μg per plate in the absence and presence of S9 (1st and 2nd experiment). In order to demonstrate the sensitivity of the assay system, positive control agents were used and marked increases in his(+)-revertants were induced in all tester-strains.

In the first and second assay, lauroyl choline chloride did not induce statistically significant increases in histidine-prototroph revertants in any tester-strains with and without metabolic activation in the tested concentration range.

It is thus concluded that lauroyl choline chloride did not induce gene mutations in the bacterial mutagenicity assay with and without metabolic activation in vitro when tested under the experimental conditions reported.
