IUPAC Name:
2,3-Dihydro-1,3-dioxo-1H-perylo[3,4-cd]pyridine-8,9-dicarboxylic acid potassim salt (1:2)
Details on test material:
It cannot be entirely excluded that the test material used was the mono potassium salt rather than the di potassium salt.
Specific details on test material used for the study:
It cannot be entirely excluded that the test material used was the mono potassium salt rather than the di potassium salt. However, based on the very similar properties of these compounds, the toxicological data presented is considered valid and suitable to describe the toxicological property of the di potassium salt even if generated with the mono salt.

POSITIVE CONTROLS Without S-9 MIX
- TA 1535: TA 100: N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG), 5 µg/plate, dissolved in DMSO
- TA 98: 4-nitro-o-phenylendiamine (NOPD), 10 µg/plate, dissolved in DMSO

- E. coli WP2 uvrA: 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (4-NQO), 5 µg/plate, dissolved in DMSO
Evaluation criteria:
The test chemical is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met: A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.

A test substance is generally considered nonmutagenic in this test if: The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
According to the results of the present study, the test substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia ccli reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions chosen here.
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains in a reverse mutation assay. The tester strains (TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and E. coli WP2 uvrA) were tested in a standard plate test (SPT) and preincubation test (PIT) both with and without metabolic activation (Aroclor-induced rat liver S-9 mix). The dose range used was 20 - 5000 µg/plate in the standard plate test and 14 -2500 µg/ml in the preincubation test. Precipitation of the test substance was found from about 100 µg/plate onward. A weak bacteriotoxic effect was observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 2500 µg/plate onward. 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 S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system. According to the results of the present study, the test substance is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium/Escherichia ccli reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions chosen here.
