Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

0 (solvent control), 50, 160, 500, 1600 5000 µg/plate

Vehicle / solvent:

demineralized water

Controls

Untreated negative controls:

yes

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:

yes

True negative controls:

not specified

Positive controls:

yes

Positive control substance:

2-nitrofluorene

sodium azide

other: 4-Nitro-o-phenylene diamine, Mitomycin C, Cumene hydroperoxide, Anthracene-2-amine

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102. pre-incubation methodology and plate incorporation methodology, 2 independent trials with S9-mix with each methodoloy snd 2 independent trials without S9-mix with each methodoloy

Evaluation criteria:

A reproducible and dose-related increase in mutant counts of at least one strain is considered to be positive result.
For TA 1535, TA100, TA1537 and TA98 this increase should be about twice of the solvent controls. For TA102 an increase of about 100 mutants should be reached. Otherwise, the result is evaluated as negative.
However, these criteria may be overruled by good scientific judgement.
In questionable results, investgations should continue, possibly with modifications, until a final evaluation is possible.

Additional information on results:

None of the 5 strains used showed a dose-related and biologically relevant increase in mutant counts over those of the solvent controls in the plate incorporation test. This applied both to the tests with and without S9-mix and was confirmed by the results of the pe-incubation trials.No bacteriotoxic effects or precipitations of the substance were observed.
The positive controls increased mutant counts to well over the solvent controls, and thus demonstrated the sysem's sensitivity and the activity of the S9-mix

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Executive summary:

Additin E459 was investigated for point mutagenic effects according to OECD TG 471 and GLP using S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 in the presence and in the absence of a metabolic activation systen. The test was performed using the the plate incorporation and the pre-incubation methodology with doses up to and including 5000 µg/plate.

None of the 5 strains used showed a dose-related and biologically relevant increase in mutant counts over those of the solvent controls in the plate incorporation test. This applied both to the tests with and without S9-mix and was confirmed by the results of the pe-incubation trials.No bacteriotoxic effects or precipitations of the substance were observed. The positive controls increased mutant counts to well over the solvent controls, and thus demonstrated the sysem's sensitivity and the activity of the S9-mix.

Therefore, Additin E 459 was considered to be non-mutagenic in the Ames test under the conditions reported.
