Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation).

DOSE-RANGE FINDING EXPERIMENT:
A toxicity experiment via the plate incorporation methodology was performed with all tester strains to determine the maximum concentration of the test article to be used in the mutation experiment. Test article doses tested were: 5, 10, 25, 50, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2500 and 5000 μg/plate. All dose levels of the test article, vehicle, and positive controls were evaluated in duplicate plates, with or without S9, as appropriate. The appropriate quantity of test or control article (0.05 mL), 2 mL of supplemented molten top agar (containing 0.1 mL tester strain), and 0.5 mL phosphate buffer or S9 were combined and overlaid onto minimal agar plates.

MUTATION ESSAY: The appropriate quantity of test or control article (0.05 mL), 2 mL of supplemented molten top agar (containing 0.1 mL tester strain), and 0.5 mL phosphate buffer or S9 were combined and overlaid onto minimal agar plates.

DURATION (for both dose range finding experiment and mutation essay): 46-72 hours at 37 ± 2 °C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Range-finding experiment: 2plates/dose/experiment ; mutation essay: 3 plates/dose/experiment

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: The density of tester strain cultures must be ≥ 0.5 x 10E09 bacteria/mL to demonstrate that appropriate numbers of bacteria are plated.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: Cytotoxicity is detectable as a decrease in the number of revertant colonies/plate and/or by a thinning or disappearance of the bacterial background lawn.

Evaluation criteria:

Criteria for a Positive Response:
A test article is considered to be positive (mutagenic), if it induces a dose-dependent increase in revertant frequency to at least 2-fold (3-fold for
TA1535 and TA1537) that observed in the appropriate concurrent vehicle control. In addition, the response should be reproducible.

Criteria for a Negative Response:
A test article is considered to be negative (non-mutagenic), if no reproducible dose-dependent or 2-fold (3-fold for TA1535 and TA1537) increases in revertant frequency are observed.

Criteria for an Equivocal Response:
Occasionally, a test article cannot be judged to be positive or negative (e.g., dose-dependent increases that fail to reach 2-fold control values, or  2-fold increases that do not appear to be dose dependent). In these rare instances, the results may be classified as equivocal.

Additional information on results:

Testing of JNJ-31052047-ABI in the Range-Finding Assay
The mean values and standard deviations were calculated on the basis of individual plate readings for all test, vehicle and positive control plates . All doses of all test and control articles were evaluated in duplicate plates with and without S9. Indications of toxicity [reduced bacterial colony counts, sparse lawns (reduced lawns), or absent bacterial lawns] were not observed. Precipitation was not observed in top agar or on plates. Revertant frequencies in TA1535 and TA1537 without S9 at 5000 μg/plate were 3.5 and 3.3 times higher, respectively, than those observed in the concurrent vehicle control cultures. Revertant frequencies in TA1535 with S9 at 2500 and 5000 μg/plate were 4.5 and 5.5 times higher, respectively, than those observed in the concurrent vehicle control cultures. All positive and vehicle control values were within acceptable ranges, as were tester strain characterization results. The results of the range-finding assay were consistent with the results observed in the mutation assay. All criteria for a valid assay were met . Therefore this range-finding experiment is considered as the initial mutation experiment.

Testing of JNJ-31052047-ABI in the Mutation Assay
The mean values and standard deviations were calculated on the basis of individual plate readings. All doses of all test and control articles were evaluated in triplicate plates with and without S9. Indications of toxicity were not observed. Precipitation was not observed in top agar or on plates. A dose-dependent increase (2.3 to 5.7 fold) in revertant colonies above those observed in the concurrent vehicle control cultures was observed in TA1535 with S9 at ≥ 1000 μg/plate. All positive and vehicle control values were within acceptable ranges, as were tester strain characterization results.

Control Data

Acceptable negative control data for all four S. typhimurium strains and E. coli strain WP2uvrA were obtained. The positive indicators Fenaminosulf (tested in TA98), ICR-191 (tested in TA1537), sodium azide (tested in TA100 and TA1535), 4-NQO (tested in WP2uvrA), and 2-aminoanthracene (tested in all strains), a promutagen in this test system, were mutagenic. These results and the strain characterization data confirmed the responsiveness and identity of the test organisms, as well as the functionality of the liver microsomal preparations used in this study.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

These results indicate JNJ-31052047-ABI was positive in the in vitro bacterial/microsomal activation reverse mutation assay under the conditions, and according to the criteria, of the test protocol.
