Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test chemical did not induce gene mutation in the Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA102, and TA1535 both in the presence and absence of S9 activation system and hence the chemical is not likely to be a gene mutant.

Executive summary:

Ames mutagenicity test was conducted for the test chemical to evaluate its genotoxic effects when exposed to Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA102, and TA1535 with dose concentration of 5–5000 µg/plate in plate incorporation assay. The plates were incubated for 48 h. The doses of test chemical, together with the appropriate concurrent positive controls, were tested in triplicate on each tester strain with and without S9 metabolic activation. A dose-related increase (at least 2-fold) in revertant colonies was used to define a statistically significant mutagenic response. The test chemical did not induce gene mutation in the Salmonella typhimuriumTA98, TA100, TA102, and TA1535 both in the presence and absence of S9 activation system and hence the chemical is not likely to be a gene mutant.
