Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: exp. I in agar (plate incorporation), exp.II pre-incubation method; according to the OECD Guideline

DURATION
- Preincubation period (exp. II): 20 min
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): 48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: bacterial background lawn

Evaluation criteria:

Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al (1989)).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out-of-historical range response).

A test item will be considered non-mutagenic in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
Although most experiments will give clear positive or negative results, in some instances the data generated will prohibit making a definite judgement about test item activity. Results of this type will be reported as equivocal.

Additional information on results:

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
The strains were checked for characteristics, viability and spontaneous reversion rate (all were found to be satisfactory). The amino acid supplemented top agar and S9-mix used in both experiments was shown to be sterile. The culture density for each bacterial strain was also checked and considered acceptable.
Precipitation: no precipitation seen at any doses
Preliminary toxicity test: the test material was toxic to TA100 from 500 ug/plate and to WP2urvA from 150 ug/plate onwards

Main tests:
Cytotoxiciy: The test material caused a reduction in the bacterial background lawn of all the tester strains, from 150 and 500 ug/plate with and without S9 mix.

Mutagenicity: no significant increases in the revertant colonies were seen at any dose level, both with and without metabolic activation

Positive and negative control results were considered valid.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Under the conditions of this test the test material (LAS IPA) does not induce any mutations in bacterial strains, when tested up to cytotoxic concentrations, both with and without metabolic activation.

Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, and TA100 of S. typhimurium and strain WP2urvA of E. coli  were exposed to BIO-SOFT 411-E (97% benzenesulfonic acid, 4-C10-13-sec-alkyl derivs.-, compd. with 2-propanamine) at concentrations ranging between 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate, in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation (S9 microsomal liver fraction, taken from male rats induced with phenobarbitone/b-naphthoflavone.The productwas tested up to cytotoxic concentrations based on a preliminary toxicity test. The results showed a negative response, i.e. no significant increase in the number of revertants was recorded at any dose level tested. The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strainsand the vehicle controls were considered valid.

 

This study is classified asacceptable. It satisfies the requirement for Test Guideline OECD 471 for in vitro mutagenicity (bacterial reverse gene mutation) data.
