DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: To determine the toxicity of the test item, the reduction of the bacterial background lawn, the increase in the size of the microcolonies and the reduction of the revertant colonies were observed. - Evaluation criteria:
- A Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and/or Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The vehicle control and positive control plates from each tester strain (with or without S9-mix) must exhibit a characteristic number of revertant colonies whencompared against relevant historical control data generated at the lab.
b) The selected dose-range should include a clearly toxic concentration or should exhibit limited solubility as demonstrated by the preliminary toxicity range-finding test or should extend to 5 mg/plate.
c) No more than 5% of the plates are lost through contamination or some other unforeseen event. If the results are considered invalid due to contamination, the experiment will be repeated. - Statistics:
- A test item is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 or WP2uvrA is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants intester strains TA1535, TA1537 or TA98 is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one follow up experiment. A test item is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 or WP2uvrA is greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537 or TA98 is greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one follow up experiment.

Any other information on results incl. tables
Dose range finding test/first mutation experiment
-Precipitate: Precipitation of test item on the plates was not observed at the start or at the end of the incubation period in any tester strain.
-Toxicity: To determine the toxicity of the test item, the reduction of the bacterial background lawn, the increase in the size of the microcolonies and the reduction of the revertant colonies were observed.
No reduction of the bacterial background lawn and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants were observed.
-Mutagenicity: In tester strain WP2uvrAin the absence of S9-mix, the test item induced an up to 2.2-fold increase in the number of revertant colonies compared to the solvent control. However, no dose-relationship was observed and the increases were within the historical control data range. Therefore, these increases are considered to be not biologically relevant. In all other tester strains no increase in the number of revertants was observed upon treatment with the test item.
Second Experiment
-Precipitate: Precipitation of test item on the plates was not observed at the start or at the end of the incubation period.
-Toxicity: Cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a reduction of the bacterial background lawn and the presence of microcolonies, was only observed in tester strain TA1537 in the absence of S9-mix at the highest dose level tested. In all other tester strains no toxicity was observed.
-Mutagenicity: In the absence of S9-mix, the test item induced dose-related increases in the number of revertant colonies compared to the solvent control in four tester strains (TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA).
The increase observed in tester strain TA1537 was 3.5-fold the concurrent control at 1600 μg/plate. However, this increase was within the historical control data range. The increase observed in tester strain TA98 was within the laboratory historical control data range and was up to 2.9- fold the concurrent control. The increase observed in tester strain TA100 was above the laboratory historical control data range, and was up to 2.9-fold the concurrent vehicle control. The increase observed in tester strain WP2uvrAwas 4.8-fold the concurrent control. However, this increase was within the historical control data range.
In the presence of S9-mix no biologically relevant increases in the number of revertant colonies were observed.
In tester strain WP2uvrAin the presence of S9-mix, the test item induced a 3.6-fold increase in the number of revertant colonies compared to the solvent control. However, this increase was within the historical control data range and coupled to a low solvent control value, and was therefore not considered to be biologically significant.
Third Experiment: Pre-Incubation Assay
-Precipitate: Precipitation of test item on the plates was not observed at the start or at the end of the incubation period.
-Toxicity: No reduction of the bacterial background lawn and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants were observed.
-Mutagenicity: The test item induced up to 6.0- and 2.5-fold dose related increases in the number of revertant colonies compared to the solvent control in the tester strains TA98 and WP2uvrA, respectively. The increases observed in tester strain TA98 were above the historical control data range, whilst the increases observed in tester strain WP2uvrAwere within the historical control data range.
In tester strain TA1537, an increase above the laboratory historical control data range was observed. However, this increase was only 1.7-fold the concurrent control.
In tester strain TA100, up to 1.9-fold dose related increases in the number of revertant colonies were observed. However, the increases were within the historical control data range.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Test item is mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
- Executive summary:
The test was performed according to the most recent OECD guideline (1997). Strains of Salmonella typhimurium (S. typhimurium; TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537), and Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain WP2uvrA were treated with the test material in the presence or absence of an exogenous mammalian metabolic activation system (S9). The test was performed in two independent experiments, at first a direct plate assay was performed and secondly a pre-incubation assay. An additional pre-incubation assay was performed in the absence of S9-mix.
In this study, acceptable responses were obtained for the negative and strain-specific positive control items indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
Since 1.7- to 6.0-fold increases were observed in the absence of S9-mix in the tester strains TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA, and the results were reproducible in a follow up experiment, these increases are considered to be biologically relevant and the test item is considered to be mutagenic.
In conclusion, based on the results of this study it is concluded that the test item is mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimuriumreverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia colireverse mutation assay.
