Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
In the dose range finding test, DCM was tested up to concentrations of 5000 IJg/plate in the absence and presence of 5% (v/v) 89-mix
in the strains TA100 and WP2uvrA. DCM did not precipitate on the plates at this dose level. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at
any of the concentrations tested and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed. Results of this dose range finding
test were reported as part of the first experiment of the mutation assay.

Based on the results of the dose range finding test, DCM was tested in the first mutation assay at a concentration range of 1 00 to 5000 µg/plate
in the absence and presence of 5% (v/v) S9-mix in tester strains TA1535, TA1537 and TA98. The bacterial background lawn was not
reduced at any of the concentrations tested and no biologically relevant decrease in the number
of revertants was observed.

In an independent repeat of the assay with additional parameters, DCM was tested at the same concentration range as the first assay
in the absence and presence of 10% (v/v) S9-mix in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA. Toxicity was only
observed in tester strains TA1537 and TA100 in the presence of S9-mix.

Since more severe toxicity was observed in tester strain TA1537 and TA100 in the presence of 10% (v/v) S9-mix in comparison with the
other strains, a third mutation experiment was performed with these strains in the presence of 1 0% (v/v) S9-mix. DCM was tested at a
concentration range of 100 to 5000 µg/plate. Toxicity was again observed in both tester strains.

DCM did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the four tester strains
(TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in tester strain WP2uvrA both in the absence and presence
of S9-metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in independently repeated experiments.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

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

All bacterial strains showed negative responses over the entire dose range, i.e. no significant dose-related increase in the number of
revertants in two independently repeated experiments.
The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within our laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that
the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that DCM is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the
Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
