Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium; in agar (plate incorporation) - Assay 1; preincubation - Assay 2

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 30 minutes
- Exposure duration: 72 hours

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays): Histidine (S. typhimurium); tryptophan (E. coli)

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Reduced number of spontaneous revertants, microcolony formation, thinning of background lawn

Evaluation criteria:
For the test item to be considered mutagenic, two-fold (or more) increases in mean revertant numbers must be observed at two consecutive dose-levels or at the highest practicable dose-level only. In addition, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose-levels

Any other information on results incl. tables

In Assay 1, using the plate incorporation method, the substance was tested at the maximum concentration of 5000 μg/plate and at four lower concentrations. No relevant toxicity was observed with any tester strain at any dose-level. No relevant increase in revertant numbers was observed at any concentration tested. A pre-incubation step was included for all treatments of Assay 2 in which the same concentrations were employed. No toxicity was observed at any dose-level with any tester strain.

 

No precipitation of the test item was observed at the end of the incubation period at any concentration in the plate incorporation experiment or in the pre-incubation experiment.

 

The substance did not induce increases in the number of revertant colonies in the plate incorporation or pre-incubation assay, at any dose-level, in any tester strain, in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism.

 

The sterility of the S9 mix and the test solutions was confirmed by the absence of colonies on additional agar plates spread separately with these solutions. Marked increases in revertant numbers were obtained in these tests following treatment with the positive control items, indicating that the assay system was functioning correctly.

 

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

It is concluded that the substance does not induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli under the reported experimental conditions.
Executive summary:

A bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) has been undertaken following OECD/EU test methods.

The substance does not induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli.
