Growth inhibition was seen at 313 μg/plate and above with S9 for TA1537 and TA100.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: without S9, cytotoxicity occurred at 78 μg/plate for TA1535, TA98 and TA100 and at 39 μg/plate for TA1537. With S9, cytotoxicity was seen at 78 μg/plate for TA1535 and TA100 and at 156 μg/plate and above for TA1537 and TA98. No toxicity was observed with WP2 uvrA at up to 5000 μg/plate, with or without S9.
Remarks on result:
other: all strains/cell types tested

Any other information on results incl. tables

A doubling of revertants was seen in the first experiment at 4.9 μg/plate in TA1535 without S9, but this was not observed in the second experiment and, as no increase in mutant frequency was seen at any other concentration level, it was concluded that this was not related to the test material.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a reliable and valid gene mutation study in bacteria, conducted according to Japanese guidelines with a protocol similar to the OECD Test Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP, dicyclopentyl(dimethoxy)silane did not induce mutagenic activity in Salmonella strains (Salmonella typhimurium TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100) at up to 313 μg/plate (limited by cytotoxicity) and in Escherichia coli (WP2 uvrA) at up to 5000 μg/plate, with and without S9.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study conducted according to Japanese guidelines, DCPMS was evaluated for its ability to induce mutation in a bacterial reverse mutagenicity (Ames) assay in four strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA, with and without a rat metabolic activation fraction (S9).

 

After a range-finding study, the S. typhimurium strains were exposed in a preincubation assay to the test material at up to 78 μg/plate without S9 (all four strains) and with S9 for TA1535 and TA100; at up to 313 μg/plate for TA1537 and TA98; E.coli WP2 uvrA was tested at up to 5000 μg/plate both with and without S9. The solvent, DMSO, was used as the vehicle control and appropriate known mutagens provided the positive controls. Plates were prepared in duplicate and incubated for 48 hours before counting the revertant colonies. Inhibition of the background lawn was noted as an indication of cytotoxicity. A second independent experiment was conducted, at up to 78 μg/plate using the four Salmonella strains without S9 and TA1535 and TA100 with S9.

No reproducible, concentration-related increase in mutant frequency was observed with any bacterial strain at any concentration of the test material, when compared to the solvent control. The positive controls induced the expected increases in mutant frequencies, confirming the validity of the assay. A thinning of the background lawn at the higher concentrations with the Salmonella strains indicated that the test material was cytotoxic to these strains but not to WP2 uvrA.

Under the conditions of this study, DCPMS showed no mutagenic potential in a bacterial reverse mutagenicity (Ames) assay with four strains of S. typhimurium and E. coli WP2 uvrA
