yes
Positive control substance:
other: 2-aminoanthracene
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The test article was evaluated in an exploratory microbial mutation assay over a concentration range of 100 to 5000 µg / plate. Salmonella typhimurium test strains TA1535, TA97a, TA98, and TA100 and Escherichia coli test strain WP2 uvrA pKM101 were used, with and without metabolic activation (S-9 liver extract).
Evaluation criteria:
Positive result taken to be a 2-fold or greater increase in revertants relative to the solvent control.

Additional information on results:
The results indicated that the test article, up to the highest tested concentration, did not produce any 2-fold or greater increases in revertants relative to the solvent control in any of the test strains, either with or without metabolic activation. The positive control, 2-aminoanthracene (2AA) produced the expected increases in revertants in all test strains in the presence of metabolic activation. No precipitate was noted on the plates at any concentration tested. No inhibition of bacterial lawn growth was noted at any concentration tested. Slight inhibition of revertant growth was noted in TA98 at 5000 µg / plate with metabolic activation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test article was considered not to be mutagenic in this test system.
Executive summary:

The test article was evaluated in an exploratory microbial mutation assay over a concentration range of 100 to 5000µg / plate.Salmonella typhimurium test strains TA1535, TA97a, TA98, and TA100 and Escherichia colitest strain WP2 uvrA pKM101 were used, with and without metabolic activation (S-9 liver extract).

The results indicated that the test article, up to the highest tested concentration, did not produce any 2 -fold or greater increases in revertants relative to the solvent control in any of the test strains, either with or without metabolic activation. The positive control, 2 -aminoanthracene (2AA) produced the expected increases in revertants in all test strains in the presence of metabolic activation. No precipitate was noted on the plates at any concentration tested. No inhibition of bacterial lawn growth was noted at any concentration tested. Slight inhibition of revertant growth was noted in TA98 at 5000µg / plate with metabolic activation. In conclusion, the test article was considered not to be mutagenic in this test system.
