Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test item did not induce gene mutations in 4 strains of Salmonella typhimurim with and without metabolic activation by syrian hamster liver S9.mix.
Executive summary:

A study was performed to investigate the potential of Braun HH 469 to induce gene mutations according to the pre-incubation method for azo-dyes using the salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100. The assay was performed in two independent experiments using identical procedures' both with and without Syrian hamster liver microsomal activation. Each concentration, including the controls, was tested in triplicate. The Test article was tested at the following concentrations: 10.0, 100.0, 333.3, 1000.0, and 5000.0 µg/plate. Toxic effects, evidenced by a reduction in the number of revertants, occurred in strain TA 98 at 5000.0 µg/ptate in the presence of metabolic activation in experiment II.

The plates incubated with the test article showed, normal background growth up to 5000.0 µg/ptate with and without S9 mix in all strains used. Up to the highest investigated dose, neither a significant and reproducible increase of the number of revertants was found in any strain as compared to the solvent control nor a concentration-dependent enhancement of the revertant number exists. The presence of liver microsomal activation did not influence these findings. Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase of induced revertant coronies.

CONCLUSTON: In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test article did not induce point mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used. Therefore, Braun HH 469 is considered to be non-mutagenic in this salmonella tlphimurium reverse mutation assay.
