Details on test system and experimental conditions:
SOURCE OF TEST SYSTEM
- Salmonella typhimurium mutants used viz. S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 and TA 100 were provided by Dr. B.N. Ames, Berkeley, California, USA.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 37 °C for 3 days

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
3 plates/dose

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Toxicity was evaluated by background lawn of bacterial growth.

OTHER:
- Colonies (revertants which are histidine independent) were counted and the background lawn of bacterial growth was examined microscopically.
- S9, S9 mix and test product was checked for sterility.
Rationale for test conditions:
The dose range used in the mutagenesis assay was based on a preliminary test performed to assess the toxicity of the compound for the bacteria.
Evaluation criteria:
No data
Statistics:
None

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Water solubility: The dose levels used in the study were based on the solubility of the test substance in water: 5 % (w/v) was soluble, while 10 % was not soluble.

CYTOTOXICITY:
There were no signs that chemical toxicity interfered with the mutagenicity testing; the background lawn of bacterial growth in control and test plates was comparable.

MUTAGENICITY
- Test substance up to 5 mg/plate did not increase the numbers of his+ revertants with any of the five tester strains, either in the presence or in the absence of S9 mix.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, test substance is not considered as mutagenic in S. typhimurium (TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 and TA 100) strains.
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, performed similarly to the OECD Guideline 471, strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 1538, TA 98 and TA 100) were exposed to test substance at the following concentrations using plate incorporation method: 0.06, 0.19, 0.56, 1.67 and 5.0 mg/plate, with and without metabolic activation

 

S9 fraction prepared from liver homogenates of male Wistar rats induced with Aroclor 1254. Vehicle and positive control groups were also included in mutagenicity tests.

 

No evidence of toxicity was observed up to 5.0 mg/plate with or without metabolic activation and the background lawn of bacterial growth in control and test plates was comparable. No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, at any dose level either with or without metabolic activation. 

 

Under the test conditions, test substance is not considered as mutagenic in this bacterial system.
