Metabolic activation system:
Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
In the preliminary toxicity assay, the dose levels tested were 6.67, 10.0, 33.3, 66.7, 100, 333, 667, 1000, 3333 and 5000 µg per plate. Precipitate was observed beginning at 1000 µg per plate with all tester strains in the presence and absence of S9 activation. Based upon these results, the maximum dose tested in the mutagenicity assay was 5000 µg per plate.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The preliminary toxicity assay was used to establish the dose range over which the test substance would be assayed.
Evaluation criteria:
For each replicate plating, the mean and standard deviation of the number of revertants per plate were calculated and are reported.

For the test substance to be evaluated positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two increasing concentrations of test substance as specified below:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The test material did not cause a positive mutagenic response with any of the tester strains in either the presence or absence of Aroclor induced rat liver S9.
Executive summary:

The test material was tested to evaluate its mutagenic potential by measuring its ability to induce reverse mutations at selected loci of several strains ofSalmonellatyphimuriumand at the tryptophan locus ofEscherichia colistrain WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of an exogenous metabolic activation system. Acetone was used as the vehicle.

In the preliminary toxicity assay, the dose levels tested were 6.67, 10.0, 33.3, 66.7, 100, 333, 667, 1000, 3333 and 5000 µg per plate. Precipitate was observed beginning at 1000 µg per plate with all tester strains in the presence and absence of S9 activation. Based upon these results, the maximum dose tested in the mutagenicity assay was 5000 µg per plate.

In the mutagenicity assay, the dose levels tested were 15.0, 50.0, 150, 500, 1500, and 5000 µg per plate. Precipitate was observed beginning at 1500 µg per plate in the absence of S9 activation and 500 µg per plate with tester strain in the presence of S9 activation.  No positive mutagenic responses were observed with any of the tester strains in either the presence or absence of S9 activation.

The study was concluded to be negative without conducting a confirmatory (independent repeat) assay because the results were clearly negative; hence, no further testing was warranted.
