Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Diethyl sebacate
EC Number:
203-764-5
EC Name:
Diethyl sebacate
Cas Number:
110-40-7
Molecular formula:
C14H26O4
IUPAC Name:
diethyl sebacate
Details on test material:
Batch no 1727003

Method

Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
other: Salmonella typhimurium
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Bacteria were exposed to the test item with and without a metabolic activation system. The system used is a cofactor enhanced post-mitochondrial fraction (S9), prepared from rat livers treated with an enzymatic inducer. The post-mitochondrial fraction (certificate given in annex) is used at 10% (v/v). The composition of the S9-Mix is described in annex. The acceptation criteria for the postmitochondrial fraction are described in the working instruction IL REAC 01.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
not specified
True negative controls:
not specified
Positive controls:
yes
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
For each experiment, the test strains cultures were prepared in nutrient broth from frozen stocks and incubated at 37°C ± 2 °C on shaken platter to allow the culture to grow up to the late exponential or early stationary phase of growth (approximately 108-109 cells/ml). The optical density of each culture has been used to check the cell density. Microbial suspension was put in contact with the test item or reference items, mixed with top agar and poured over minimal agar medium plate. After solidification, plates were incubated at 37°C ± 2°C during 48 to 72 hours. Positive and negative controls were included in the experiment.
Evaluation criteria:
The test is considered valid if the following criteria are fulfilled:
- Sterility tests are conform
- The mean negative controls are within the historical data
- The solvent used (negative control) must not show genotonix nor cytotoxic ativity
- The revertants rate obtained for the positive controls must be in agreement with the historical data
- The positive controls must show a revertants number equal at least to be double of the spontaneous rate of reversion for TA98, TA100 and TA102 and the triple of the spontaneous rate of reversion for TA1535 and TA1537
- No more than 5% of the plates of the test are lost through contamination or any other unforeseen event
- At least 3 concentrations are available for mutagenicity assessment

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the result of this study, the test item DIETHYL SEBACATE - REF : DIETHYL SEBACATE _ LOT 1727003, ID-18/08490 was found to be non mutagenic and non promutagenic, but shows a cytotoxic effect during pre-incubation assay without metabolic activation, under the test conditions.
Executive summary:

For that endpoint, one reliable study performed on the registered substance and according to the OECD Guideline 471 (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay) was available.

Under the experimental conditions, the substance " DIETHYL SEBACATE Lot 1727003" is non mutagenic and non promutagenic but shows a cytotoxic effect during pre-incubation assay without metabolic activation.

The validity criteria were successful and the study was therefore regarded as acceptable for that endpoint.
