Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

According to the results of the study, the test substance (R)-3-Aminobutan-1-ol is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions chosen.
Executive summary:

The substance (R)-3-Aminobutan-1-ol was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains, i.e. Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, in a reverse mutation assay. An increase in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants was not observed in the standard plate test or in the preincubation test either without S9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system. According to the results of the study, the test substance (R)-3-Aminobutan-1-ol is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions chosen.
