Method
- Target gene:
- In addition to histidine or tryptophan mutation, each strain has additional mutations, which enhances its sensitivity to mutagens. The uvrB (uvrA) strains are defective in excision repair, making them more sensitive to the mutagenic and lethal effects of a wide variety of mutagens because they cannot repair DNA damages. The presence of rfa mutation increases the permeability of the bacterial lipopolysaccharide wall for larger molecules. The plasmid pKM101 (TA98, TA100) carries the muc+ gene which participates in the error-prone "SOS" DNA repair pathway induced by DNA damage. This plasmid also carries an ampicillin resistance transfer factor (R-factor) which is used to identify its presence in the cell. The Escherichia coli strain used in this test (WP2 uvrA) is also defective in DNA excision repair.

- Evaluation criteria:
- Criteria for Validity:
The study was considered valid if:
- the number of revertant colonies of the negative (vehicle/solvent) and positive controls are in the relevant historical control range, generated at the test facility, in all tester strains of the main tests (with or without S9-mix);
- at least five analysable concentrations are presented in all strains of the main tests;
Criteria for a Positive Response:
A test item was considered mutagenic if:
- a dose-related increase in the number of revertants occurs and/or;
- a reproducible biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation.
An increase was considered biologically relevant if:
- the number of reversions is more than two times higher than the reversion rate of the negative (solvent) control in Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100 and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA bacterial strains;
- the number of reversions is more than three times higher than the reversion rate of the negative (solvent) control in Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 and TA1537 bacterial strains.
According to the guidelines [5][6][7][8], statistical method may be used as an aid in evaluating the test results. However, statistical significance should not be the only determining factor for a positive response.
Criteria for a Negative Response:
A test article was considered non-mutagenic if:
- the total number of revertants in tester strain Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100 or Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA is not greater than two times the concurrent vehicle control, and the total number of revertants in tester strain Salmonella typhimurium TA1535 or TA1537 is not greater than three times the concurrent vehicle control;
- the negative response should be reproducible in at least one follow up experiment.

- INITIAL AND CONFIRMATORY MUTATION TESTS
In the Initial Mutation Test, the plate incorporation method was used. In the Confirmatory Mutation Test, the pre-incubation method was used. The main tests were carried out using four Salmonella typhimurium strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537) and the Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA strain. The main tests were performed in the presence and absence of a metabolic activation system. Each test was performed with appropriate untreated, negative (solvent) and positive controls. In the main tests each sample (including the controls) was tested in triplicate.
In the main tests, the number of revertant colonies did not show any biologically relevant increase compared to the solvent controls. There were no reproducible dose-related trends and there was no indication of any treatment-related effect.
No precipitate was observed in the main tests in all bacterial strains with and without metabolic activation.
Inhibitory, cytotoxic effect of the test item (absent/reduced/slightly reduced background lawn) was observed in the Initial Mutation Test in all examined bacterial strains on the plates at 500 and/or 158.1 μg/plate concentrations with and without metabolic activation. Moreover, in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 strain slightly reduced background lawn was detected on the plates at 50 μg/plate concentration without metabolic activation.
The same effects were observed in the Confirmatory Mutation Test in all examined strains on the plates at 500 and 158.1 μg/plate concentrations with and without metabolic activation and in all Salmonella typhimurium strains without metabolic activation at 50 μg/plate concentration and in Salmonella typhimurium TA100 strain in 15.81 μg/plate concentration.
In the Initial Mutation Test (plate incorporation method), the highest revertant rate was observed in Salmonella typhimurium TA98 strain at 0.5 μg/plate concentration without metabolic activation (the observed mutation factor value was: MF: 1.46). However, there was no dose-response relationship, the observed mutation factor values were below the biologically relevant threshold limit and the number of revertant colonies was within the historical control range.
In the Confirmatory Mutation Test (pre-incubation method), the highest revertant rate was observed in Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA bacterial strain at 50 μg/plate concentration with metabolic activation (the observed mutation factor value was: MF: 1.42). However, there was no dose-response relationship, the number of revertant colonies did not show any biologically relevant increase compared to the solvent controls and the number of revertant colonies was within the historical control range.
Higher numbers of revertant colonies compared to the vehicle (solvent) control were detected in the main tests in some other sporadic cases. However, no dose-dependence was observed in those cases and they were below the biologically relevant threshold value. The numbers of revertant colonies were within the historical control range in each case, so they were considered as reflecting the biological variability of the test.
VALIDITY OF THE TESTS
Untreated, negative (vehicle/solvent) and positive controls were run concurrently. The mean values of revertant colony numbers of untreated, negative (solvent) and positive control plates were within the historical control range in all strains. At least five analysable concentrations were presented in all strains with and without metabolic activation.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- The reported data of this mutagenicity assay show that under the experimental conditions applied the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used.
