Potassium isoamyl xanthate was tested for mutagenic potential using in vitro bacterial reverse mutation test. The test substance did not exert mutagenic activity both in presence and absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

Potassium isoamyl xanthate was tested for the mutagenic potential using in vitro bacterial reverse mutation test (Ames tes)(corresponding to the OECD No. 471). A preliminary range-finding asay was performed using five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA97, TA98, TA100, TA102 and TA1535) up to a maximum dose of 5.0 mg/plate to determine the optimal non-toxic test dose.

Potassium isoamyl xanthate was tested for mutagenic potential in main assay using five strains of Salmonella typhimurium in concentration range of 0.0001 -0.5 mg/plate. The test was conducted by preincubation of the test substance in the absence and presence of external matabolic activation with S9 fraction prepared from Sparague-Dawley rats.

Potassium isoamyl xanthate did not produce any significant increase of mutation frequency in these strains up to the maximum dose 5.0 mg/plate both in the absence or presence of metabolic activation. Based on the study results the test substance is considered to be non-mutagenic.

The test result is used as a key value in the hazard assessment.
