S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Type and composition of metabolic activation system:
- source of S9: S9 liver microsomal fraction from male Sprague Dawley rats, induced with phenobarbital/β-naphthoflavone (obtained from Trinova Biochem GmbH, Gießen, Germany), protein concentrations in the S9 preparations were adjusted to 30 mg/mL
- method of preparation of S9 mix: The S9 mix preparation was performed according to Ames et al.. 100 mM of ice-cold sodium-ortho-phosphate-buffer, pH 7.4, was added to the following pre-weighed sterilised reagents to give final concentrations in the S9 mix of:
8 mM MgCl2
33 mM KCl
5 mM glucose-6-phosphate
4 mM NADP
This solution was mixed with the liver 9000 x g supernatant fluid in the following proportion:
co-factor solution 9.5 parts
liver preparation 0.5 parts
- volume of S9 mix in the final culture medium: 500 μL S9 mix/plate
- quality controls of S9: Alkoxyresorufin-O-dealkylase activities, Test for the presence of adventitious agents, Promutagen activation (including biological activity in the Salmonella typhimurium assay using 2-aminoanthracene and benzo[a]pyrene) (performed by Trinova Biochem GmbH)
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
pre-experiment:
0.00316, 0.0100, 0.0316, 0.100, 0.316, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 μL/plate
Experiment I:
0.00316, 0.0100, 0.0316, 0.100, 0.316, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 μL/plate
Experiment II:
0.000158, 0.00050, 0.00158, 0.0050, 0.0158, 0.050, 0.158 and 0.5 μL/plate

The test item concentrations to be applied in the main experiments were chosen according to the results of the pre-experiment.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Solvent used: water (aqua dest.)

- Justification for choice of solvent: The solvent was compatible with
the survival of the bacteria and the S9 activity.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
sodium azide
methylmethanesulfonate
other: 4-nitro-o-phenylene-diamine (4-NOPD); 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA)
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration: triplicate
- Number of independent experiments: 2

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

TREATMENT AND HARVEST SCHEDULE:
- Exposure duration/duration of treatment: 48 h

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: background growth inhibition; reduction in the number of revertants down to a mutation factor of approximately ≤ 0.5 in relation to the solvent control

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY
A test item is considered as mutagenic if:
- a clear and dose-related increase in the number of revertants occurs and/or
- a biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs in at least one tester strain with or without metabolic activation.
A biologically relevant increase is described as follows:
- if in tester strains TA98, TA100 and E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM101) the number of reversions is at least twice as high
- if in tester strains TA1535 and TA1537 the number of reversions is at least three times higher as compared to the reversion rate of the solvent control.
A test item producing neither a dose related increase in the number of revertants nor a reproducible biologically relevant positive response at any of the dose groups is considered to be non-mutagenic
in this system.
Rationale for test conditions:
The OECD Guideline for Testing of Chemicals, Section 4, No. 471 – Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test - recommends using a combination of S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM101).
Evaluation criteria:
A test is considered acceptable if for each strain:
- the bacteria demonstrate their typical responses to ampicillin (TA98, TA100, E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM101))
- the negative control plates (A. dest.) with and without S9 mix are within the following ranges (mean
values of the spontaneous reversion frequency are within the historical control data range (for values please refer to “Any other information on results”)
- corresponding background growth on both negative control and test plates is observed.
- the positive controls show a distinct enhancement of revertant rates over the control plate
- at least five different concentrations of each tester strain are analysable.
Statistics:
According to the OECD guidelines, the biological relevance of the results is the criterion for the interpretation of results, a statistical evaluation of the results is not regarded as necessary.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Data on pH: not specified
- Data on osmolality: not specified
- Possibility of evaporation from medium: not specified
- Water solubility: The test item was water soluble.
- Precipitation and time of the determination: No precipitation of the test item was observed in any tester strain used in experiment I and II.
- Other confounding effects: None reported.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES : A pre-experiment was conducted to determine the concentrations for the main experiment.

STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle negative and positive control data: Please refer to Any other information on results.

Ames test:
- Signs of toxicity: Toxic effects of the test item were noted in all tester strains evaluated in experiment I and II.
- Individual plate counts: Please refer to Any other information on results.
- Mean number of revertant colonies per plate and standard deviation: Please refer to Any other information on results.
- Others: Due to the high toxicity of the test item, in experiment I only four concentrations out of eight in each tester strain were analysable, which is below the threshold limit of five analysable concentrations set by the OECD 471. However, as the concentrations used in experiment II were lower than those of experiment I, a total of six to seven concentrations used in each tester strain were analysable.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item is considered to be non-mutagenic in the bacterial reverse mutation assay.
Executive summary:

The test item was investigated for its potential to induce gene mutations according to OECD 471 in the plate incorporation test (experiment I and experiment II) using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and tester strain E. coli WP2 uvrA (pKM101). In two independent experiments several concentrations of the test item were used. Each assay was conducted with and without metabolic activation using S9. The concentrations, including the controls, were tested in triplicate. The following concentrations of the test item were prepared and used in the experiments:

Experiment I:

0.00316, 0.0100, 0.0316, 0.100, 0.316, 1.0, 2.5 and 5.0 μL/plate

Experiment II:

0.000158, 0.00050, 0.00158, 0.0050, 0.0158, 0.050, 0.158 and 0.5 μL/plate

No precipitation of the test item was observed in any tester strain used in experiment I and II (with and without metabolic activation). Toxic effects of the test item were noted in all tester strains used in experiment I and II. In experiment I toxic effects of the test item were observed at concentrations of 0.100 μg/plate and higher (with and without metabolic activation) depending on the particular tester strain. In experiment II toxic effects of the test item were noted at concentrations of 0.050 μg/plate and higher (with and without metabolic activation) depending on the particular tester strain. No biologically relevant increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with the test item at any concentration level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation. All criteria of validity were met. In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test itenm did not cause gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the tester strains used. Therefore, the test item is considered to be non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.
