Formulated concentrations were adjusted for the water/impurity content (3.1% w/w) of the test item and therefore concentrations are quoted as active.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: sterile distilled water
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test item was fully soluble in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/ml in solubility checks performed in house.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium; in agar, plate incorporation for experiment 1 and preincubation for experiment 2.
DURATION
- Preincubation period: 10 hours
- Exposure duration: approximatly 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Tripicate plating.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
Method: Plates were assessed for numbers of revertant colonies and examined for the effects on growth of the bacterial background lawn.

Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance Criteria:

The reverse mutation assay may be considered valid if the following criteria are met:

All bacterial strains must have demonstrated the required characteristics as determined by their respective strain checks according to Ames et al., (1975), Maron and Ames (1983) and Mortelmans and Zeiger (2000).

All tester strain cultures should exhibit a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate in the vehicle and untreated controls.
All tester strain cultures should be in the range of 0.9 to 9 x 10^9 bacteria per mL.
All of the positive control chemicals used in the study should induce marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation.
There should be a minimum of four non-toxic test item dose levels.
There should be no evidence of excessive contamination.

Evaluation Criteria

There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:

1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al., 1989).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out of historical range response (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)).

A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.

Although most experiments will give clear positive or negative results, in some instances the data generated will prohibit making a definite judgment about test item activity. Results of this type will be reported as equivocal.

Statistics:
None.

Additional information on results:
There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation, in the first mutation test (plate incorporation method) and consequently the same maximum dose level was used in the second mutation test.
Remarks on result:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test item was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

Introduction

The test item was tested using a protocol designed to be compatible with OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 (1997) "Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test" and Method B13/14 of Commission Regulation (EC) number 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Methods

Salmonella typhimurium strainsTA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with the test item using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre-incubation methods at up to eight dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range for the plate incorporation experiment was 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate and for the pre-incubation experiment 50 to 5000 µg/plate.

 Results

…….

The vehicle (sterile distilled water) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated.

 

The test item caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level. No test item precipitate was observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9-mix.

 

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation or exposure method.

 

 

Conclusion

 

The test item was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
