- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- Type and composition of metabolic activation system:
- source of S9: from homogenized livers of male Wistar, HSdCpb:Wu rats, aged 6-8 weeks, with single intraperitoneal injection of Aroclor 1254 (500 mg/kg body weight) dissolved in Miglyol 812 oil
- method of preparation of S9 mix: Please refer to “Any other information on materials and methods”.
- concentration or volume of S9 mix and S9 in the final culture medium: 10 % and 30 % S9 in the S9 mix are used in the 1st and 2nd test series, respectively.
- quality controls of S9 (e.g., enzymatic activity, sterility, metabolic capability): S9-batch was tested for its metabolic activity by the use of specific substrates, requiring different enzymes of the P450-isoenzyme family. The mutagenicity of 2-aminoanthracene, benzo[a]pyrene, and 3-methylcholanthrene was thus determined once for the S9-batch. Clear increases in the number of revertants for S. typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, and TA 1537 with all positive controls and for TA 1535 with 2-aminoanthracene were used as an acceptance criterion for the S9-batch. In this study 2-aminoanthracene, and benzo[a]pyrene for TA 102, were used as the concurrent positive controls for the different strains in the presence of S9 mix. - Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- The test material concentrations used were selected according to the EC and OECD guidelines for this test system and the requirements of the Labor Ministry of Japan:
1st series: 5, 15.8, 50, 158, 500, 1580 and 5000 µg/plate
2nd series: 5, 15.8, 28.1, 50, 88.9 and 158 µg/plate
5000 µg/plate was chosen as the appropriate maximum test material concentration. - Vehicle / solvent:

- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 2 to 3 days
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method, e.g.: background growth inhibition; reduction in number of spontaneous revertants
METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
The assessment of test material-induced effects was dependent on the number of spontaneous revertants of each bacterial strain (solvent controls) and the increase in the number of revertants at the test material concentration which shows the highest number of colonies. The criteria, based upon the historical controls of the laboratory and statistical considerations, were established as shown in table 2 (see “Any other information on materials and methods”). - Rationale for test conditions:
- Test conditions in line with respective test guidelines were used.
- Evaluation criteria:
- A test material was defined as non-mutagenic in this assay if
- "no" or "weak increases" occur in the first and second series of the main experiment. ("Weak increases" randomly occur due to experimental variation.)
A test material was defined as mutagenic in this assay if
- a dose-related (over at least two test material concentrations) increase in the number of revertants was induced, the maximal effect was a "clear increase", and the effects were reproduced at similar concentration levels in the same test system;
- "clear increases" occur at least at one test material concentration, higher concentrations showed strong precipitation or cytotoxicity, and the effects were reproduced at the same concentration level in the same test system.
In all further cases, a third test series with the bacterial strain in question should be performed and the results of each series be discussed case by case. - Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- With and without addition of S9 mix as the external metabolizing system, the test material was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described.
- Executive summary:
The investigations for the mutagenic potential of the test item were performed according to OECD TG 471 using Salmonella typhimurium tester strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 102, TA 1535 and TA 1537, and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA. The plate incorporation test with and without addition of liver S9 mix from Aroclor 1254 -pretreated rats was used. Two independent experimental series were performed. In the two series with S9 mix, 10 % S9 in the S9 mix were used in the 1st and 30 % in the 2nd series, respectively. The test item was dissolved in DMSO and tested at concentrations ranging from 5 - 5000 μg/plate. Precipitation of the test material on the agar plates occurred at concentrations of >= 158 μg/plate. Toxicity to the bacteria was not observed. Each treatment with positive controls led to a clear increase in revertant colonies, thus, showing the expected reversion properties of all strains and good metabolic activity of the S9 mix used. With and without addition of S9 mix as the external metabolizing system, the test item was not mutagenic under the experimental conditions described.
