Description of key information

Ames assay:

Ames assay was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of the test chemical. The study was performed using Salmonella typhimurium TA1537, TA1535, TA158, TA98 and TA100 both with and without rat liver S-9 microsomal activation system. In the study reported here, the test chemical was tested in the Ames bioassay at levels upto 13.9 mg/L (0.450 mg/plate) without S-9 activation 82.3 mg/L (2.7mg/plate) with S-9 activation. The maximum concentrations used in these studies resulted in reduced viability of the test organisms, indicating that the test chemical was being tested at biologically significant concentrations. The difference in maximum test concentrations as a function of the presence of S-9 indicates that the metabolite(s) of the test chemical formed by microsomal enzymes in the s-9 have less biological impact on the test organism than the test chemical itself. In the Ames bioassay , no test chemical- related increases in revertants were noted in any test strain either with or without S-9 liver enzymes. HQ was negative when tested in the standard Ames test in five strains of Salmonella typhimurium , both with and without rat liver S-9 microsomal activation.

Conclusions:
Positive results from the bacterial reverse mutation test indicate that a sbustance induces point mutations by base substitutions or frameshifts in the genome of either Salmonella typhimurium and / or Escherichia coli.
Negative results indictae that under the test conditions, the test substance is not mutagenic in the tested species.
On the basis of the results obtained, it can concluded that under the test conditions applied, thet test item is considered no to be mutagenic.
