Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The reported data of this mutagenicity assay show that under the experimental conditions applied, the test item as direct acting mutagen compound and its metabolized forms induced gene mutations by base pair substitutions and in the genome of the Salmonella typhimurium TA100 tester strain. No positive effect was seen in the performed experiments in S. typhimurium TA98 (±S9 Mix).
In conclusion, the test item Bromethoxy-qvajacol (CVD 21) has mutagenic activity on Salmonella typhimurium TA100 carrying base-pair substitution in the absence and presence of exogenous metabolic activation, under the test conditions used in this study.
Unless results originated from in vivo and other in vitro mutagenicity assays, based on the results of the present bacterial reverse mutation assay the test item could be considered (categorized) as a Category 2 mutagen
