DURATION
- Preincubation period: 1 hour
- Exposure duration: approx 72h



NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates



DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method:reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication
factor of 0.5)
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100, and WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent control is observed.

A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration.

An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.

A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant.
Statistics:
According to the OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: The test item precipitated in the overlay agar from 1000 Lg/plate up to 5000 Lg/plate in both experiments. No precipitation was observed on the incubated agar plates. The undissolved particles had no influence on the data recording


RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:The pre-experiment is reported as experiment I.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:the spontaneous reversion rates in the negative and solvent control are in the range of
our historical data

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: The plates incubated with the test item showed normal background growth up to 5000 Lg/plate with and without metabolic activation in both independent experiments. No toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication
factor of 0.5), occurred in almost all strains the with and without metabolic activation. A
minor reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication factor of 0.5), occurred in
strain TA 1537 and TA 98.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

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

It can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used.
Therefore, FAT 40849/A TE is considered to be non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
Executive summary:

This study was performed to investigate the potential of FAT 40849/A TE to induce gene mutations in the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II) using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, and TA 100, and the Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA.

The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Each concentration, including the controls, was tested in triplicate. The test item was tested at the following concentrations:

Pre-Experiment/Experiment I and II: 3; 10; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500; and 5000 Lg/plate

The plates incubated with the test item showed normal background growth up to 5000 Lg/plate with and without metabolic activation in both independent experiments.

No toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication factor of 0.5), occurred in almost all strains the with and without metabolic activation. A minor reduction in the number of revertants (below the indication factor of 0.5), occurred in strain TA 1537 and TA 98.

No substantial increase in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains was observed following treatment with FAT 40849/A TE at any dose level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance.

Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase of induced revertant colonies.
