2nd Experiment: 5000 / 2500 / 1250 / 625 / 313 / 156 µg/plate.

To verify the results of the first experiment, the second experiment was performed. The test item did not show mutagenic effects in the second experiment, either.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) for 1st experiment; preincubation for 2nd experiment

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 minutes
- Incubation time: 48 hrs

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 replicates, with/without S9
Evaluation criteria:
The colonies were counted visually, the numbers were recorded. The increase factor f(I) of revertant induction (mean revertants divided by mean spontaneous revertants) and the absolute number of revertants (“Rev. abs.”, mean revertants less mean spontaneous revertants) were also calculated.
A test item is considered to have mutagenic potential, if a significant, reproducible increase of revertant colonies per plate (increase factor ≥2) in at least one strain can be observed. A concentration-related increase over the range tested can also be taken as a sign of mutagenic activity.
Statistics:
A spreadsheet software (Microsoft Excel®) was used to calculate mean values and standard deviations of each treatment, solvent control and positive control. Note: All calculations are performed with unrounded values. Therefore, re-calculation with rounded values may lead to slightly different results.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item 1,3,5-Triisopropylbenzene is considered as “not mutagenic under the conditions of the test” following an in vitro bacterial reverse mutation assay.
Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of the test item with the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test following OECD 471 and EU B.13/14 with two independent repeats was investigated. Five concentrations of the test item (up to 5000 µg/plate) were used in the first test following the plate incorporation method and in the second test following the pre-incubation method. Five genetically changed strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 (genetically manipulated) and TA1535) were exposed to the test item both in the presence and in the absence of a metabolic activation system (S9-mix, rat liver S9-mix induced by Aroclor 1254) for 48 hours.

None of the concentrations caused a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies in the tested strains. The determined values for the spontaneous revertants of the negative controls were in the normal range. All positive controls showed mutagenic effects with and without metabolic activation.

Under the conditions of the test, the test item did not show mutagenic effects towards Salmonella typhimurium, strains TA97a, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535. Therefore, no concentration-effect relationship could be determined. The test item 1,3,5 -Triisopropylbenzene is considered as “not mutagenic under the conditions of the test”.
