Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min
- Exposure duration: 48 hr

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
1 plate/dose for the preliminary test, 3 plates/dose for each of the two main tests, 2 plates/dose for negative and positive controls

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED:
>10E8 viable cells were counted. All revertant colonies/plate were counted using an automated colony counter or manually.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY:
Precipitation was judged by observation of the plate surface macroscopically. No cytotoxicity was observed.
Evaluation criteria:
Mutagenicity is induced when a reproducible dose dependent increase in number of revertant colonies is present at >=2 times the number in the negative controls.
Main tests were accepted as valid if all the following criteria were satisfied:
- the negative control values and the positive control values are within the proper ranges calculated based on the historical data
- the postivie control values show clear positive responses in the respective test strains
- more than 4 doses show no microbial growth inhibition and more than 5 doses applicable to the evaluation
- result of the sterility test indicates that there is no bacterial contamination
- no plates became invalid for measurement due to contamination or other unexpected situations.
Reproducibility of the test result was confirmed in the preliminary and two main tests.
Statistics:
None required due to test results.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: from 313 µg/plate onwards the test substance precipated when strains were exposed to S9-mix. Without S9-mix, no precipitation was observed.
- Other confounding effects: none known.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: The number of revertant colonies was less than twice the number of the respective negative controls. No microbial growth inhibition was observed, and precipitation was observed in S9 treated strains from 313 µg/plate onwards.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: The negative and positive control values are within the proper ranges of the historical data.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with and without metabolic activation

E-C104 was considered not mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation test (OECD 471) with five strains with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

Mutagenicity of E-C104 was assessed in the bacterial reverse mutation test using five strains, Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA98, TA1537 and Escherichia coli WP2uvrA. The test was conducted by the pre-incubation method with and without S9 -mix. The tests were performed with doses up to 5000 µg/plate, based on a preliminary test. As a result in both main tests, the number of revertant colonies treated with E-C104 was less than twice that treated with the negative control in any tester strain with or without S9 -mix. Microbial growth inhibition was also not observed, while precipitation of the test substance was observed from 313 µg/plate onwards with S9 -mix. From these results, it is concluded that E-C104 has no mutagenic potential under the conditions of this study.
