Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Reaction mass of 2-ethyl-4-methyl-1H-imidazole-1-propiononitrile and 2-ethyl-5-methyl-1H-imidazole-1-propiononitrile
EC Number:
947-727-8
Cas Number:
568591-00-4
Molecular formula:
C9H13N3
IUPAC Name:
Reaction mass of 2-ethyl-4-methyl-1H-imidazole-1-propiononitrile and 2-ethyl-5-methyl-1H-imidazole-1-propiononitrile

Method

Target gene:
his operon (for S. typhimurium strains)
trp operon (for E. coli strain)
Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A pKM 101
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
cofactor supplemented post-mitochondrial fraction (S9 mix), prepared from the livers of rats treated with Phenobarbital (PB) and 5,6-benzoflavone (BF)
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Dose range finding experiment: 4.88, 19.5, 78.1, 313, 1250 and 5000 µg/plate
Main experiment: 313, 625,1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate
As a result of the dose range finding study, the growth inhibition and precipitation of the test substance were not evident at any dose level of the test substance in any strain in the presence or absence of metabolic activation. Therefore, the high dose in the main study was selected at 5,000 μg/plate and sequentially diluted by applying a geometric ratio of 2 to produce lower dose levels.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: water for injection
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: In order to produce the high dose level (5000 μg/plate) of the dose range finding study, a preliminary solubility test was conducted based on the information provided by the sponsor. As a result, the test substance was dissolved in water for injection at a dose level of 50.0 mg/mL. Therefore, water for injection was selected as the vehicle for this study.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: Dose-range-finding and main experiment (pre-incubation method), in agar

DURATION
- Preincubation period:
20 min
- Exposure duration:
48 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
3 replications each in 2 independent experiment

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Growth inhibition was detected by a reduction in the number of revertant colonies, or by diminution or clearing of background lawn compared to the negative control group.

Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance Criteria

Evaluation of the validity of the study results was conducted based on the following criteria:
- The mean number of revertant colonies for the positive and negative control groups is within the range of the historical control data or the mean number of revertant colonies in the positive control groups is increased at least twice as compared to the negative control group.
- No plate shows any evidence of contamination.

Evaluation Criteria
The results of the study were considered to be positive when the following conditions were met.
- The number of revertant colonies in any strain at one or more doses is increased at least two times when compared to the negative control group. There should be dose dependency or reproducibility as dose increases.
Statistics:
Individual plates were counted for revertant colonies. The average and standard deviation of the number of revertant colonies were calculated.
