METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Test substance added in medium; in agar (plate incorporation)

TREATMENT SCHEDULE:
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 52 +/- 4 hours at 37 +/- 2°C

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method, e.g.: background growth inhibition
Evaluation criteria:
- Criteria for a Negative Response:
A test article is considered to have produced a negative response if no dose-dependent, ≥ 2.0-fold or ≥3.0-fold increases are observed in tester strains TA98, TA100, and WP2uvrA, or TA1535 and TA1537, respectively
- Criteria for an Equivocal Response
Even after repeated trials, a test article may produce results that are neither clearly positive nor clearly negative (e.g., responses that do not meet the dose-dependency or fold increase requirements but are reproducible). In those rare instances, the test article may be considered to have produced an equivocal response.
Statistics:
According to the OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Possibility of evaporation from medium: low volatility based on vapor pressure of constituents
- Precipitation and time of the determination:
Initial assay: Precipitate was observed at ≥1600 μg/plate in all tester strains with and without S9 except WP2uvrA, where precipitate was observed at 5000 μg/plate with S9.
Confirmatory assay: Precipitate was observed at 5000 μg/plate in all tester strains with and without S9

STUDY RESULTS
- Sign of toxicity
Initial assay: Toxicity, as evident by the absence or reduction in the mean number of revertant colonies and/or reduction in the background bacterial lawn, was observed at ≥1600 μg/plate in all tester strains with S9 except TA98 and WP2uvrA, where toxicity was observed at 5000 μg/plate. Toxicity, as evident by the absence or reduction in the mean number of revertant colonies and/or absence or reduction in the background bacterial lawn, was observed at ≥160 μg/plate in all tester strains without S9 except WP2uvrA, where toxicity was observed at ≥1600 μg/plate.
Confirmatory assay: Toxicity, as evident by the absence or reduction in the mean number of revertant colonies and/or reduction in the background bacterial lawn, was observed at ≥1600 μg/plate in all tester strains with S9 except TA98 and WP2uvrA, where toxicity was observed at 500 and 5000 μg/plate, respectively. Toxicity, as evident by the absence or reduction in the mean number of revertant colonies and/or absence or reduction in the background bacterial lawn, was observed at ≥160 μg/plate in all tester strains without S9 except TA1537 and WP2uvrA, where toxicity was observed at ≥50.0 μg/plate in TA1537 and no toxicity was observed in WP2uvrA.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the test condition, test material was not mutagenic to S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 and E.coli WP2 uvrA- in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay performed according to the OECD test guideline No. 471 and in compliance with GLP, S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 and E. coli strain WP2 uvrA- were exposed to the test material both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system (liver S9 in standard co-factors) using the plate incorporation method.

In the first experiment the dose levels ranged from 5 to 5000 µg/plate with and without S9. Precipitate was observed at ≥1600 μg/plate in all tester strains with and without S9 except WP2uvrA with S9, where precipitate was observed at 5000 μg/plate. Toxicity was observed in all tester strains at ≥1600 μg/plate with S9 except TA98 and WP2uvrA, where toxicity was observed at 5000 μg/plate. Toxicity was observed at ≥160 μg/plate in all tester strains without S9 except WP2uvrA, where toxicity was observed at ≥1600 μg/plate.

Based on the results of the first, a second confirmatory mutagenicity assay was conducted in all five tester strains at dose levels of 5 to 5000 µg/plate with S9 and from 1.60 to 1600 µg/plate without S9. Precipitate was observed at 5000 μg/plate in all tester strains with and without S9. Toxicity was observed in all tester strains at ≥1600 μg/plate with S9 except TA98 and WP2uvrA, where toxicity was observed at ≥500 and 5000 μg/plate, respectively. Without S9, toxicity was observed at ≥160 μg/plate in all tester strains except TA1537 and WP2uvrA, where toxicity was observed at ≥50.0 μg/plate in TA1537 and no toxicity was observed in WP2uvrA.

No increase in the mean number of revertant colonies was observed at any tested dose level in any tester strain with and without S9 in the initial or the confirmatory assay. All positive and vehicle control values were within the acceptable ranges, and all criteria for a valid study were met.  

Under the test condition, test material was not mutagenic to S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 and E.coli WP2 uvrA- in the presence and absence of metabolic activation.

This study is considered as acceptable and satisfies the requirement for reverse gene mutation endpoint.
