Details on test material:

- Name of test material (as cited in study report): 2-Methyl-4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13-decahydro-1 H-cyclopentacyclododecen
- Physical state: Liquid/ brown, turbid
- Analytical purity: 62.5 area-% (not corrected for the water content.)
- Lot/batch No.: Methyl-Cyclopentadien-Cyclododecan (Austrag Gasphase SVA-Fabrik 02-18.10.2012)
- Storage condition of test material: Room temperature

Method

Target gene:

his, trp

Species / strain

Species / strain 1

Species / strain / cell type:

S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100

Species / strain 2

Species / strain / cell type:

E. coli WP2 uvr A

Metabolic activation:

with and without

Metabolic activation system:

Liver S9 fraction of phenobarbital / β-naphthoflavone treated Wistar rats

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

33 μg - 10 000 μg/plate

Vehicle / solvent:

- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: Tetrahydrofuran
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the limited solubility of the test substance in ultrapure water, THF was used as vehicle, which had been demonstrated to be suitable in bacterial reverse mutation tests and for which historical control data are available.

Controls

Untreated negative controls:

no

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:

yes

True negative controls:

no

Positive controls:

yes

Positive control substance:

other: Without S9 mix: N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (TA 1535, TA 100); 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine (TA 98); 9-aminoacridine (TA1537)); 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (E coli). With S9 mix: 2-aminoanthracene (all strains tested)

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: plate incorporation test; preincubation test

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 minutes (preincubation test)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: number of revertants, background lawn

Evaluation criteria:

Acceptance criteria
Generally, the experiment was considered valid if the following criteria were met:
• The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain.
• The sterility controls revealed no indication of bacterial contamination.
• The positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a distinct increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control data or above.
• Fresh bacterial culture containing approximately 10^9 cells per mL were used.

Assessment criteria
The test substance was considered positive in this assay if the following criteria were met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. at least doubling (bacteria strains with high spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 98, TA 100 and E.coli WP2 uvrA) or tripling (bacteria strains with low spontaneous mutation rate, like TA 1535 and TA 1537) of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.

A test substance was generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control data range under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to the results of the present study, the test substance did not lead to a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertant colonies either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system in two experiments carried out independently of each other (standard plate test and preincubation assay).

Besides, the results of the negative as well as the positive controls performed in parallel corroborated the validity of this study, since the values fulfilled the acceptance criteria of this study.

In this study with and without S9 mix, the number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within or marginally above the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain. In addition, the positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies within or above the range of the historical positive control data or above.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The present data on genetic toxicity do not fulfill the criteria laid down in 67/548/EEC and regulation (EU) 1272/2008 and therefore, a non-classification is warranted.
