Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

First experiment
Seven concentrations of the test item, 5.4, 17, 52, 164, 512, 1600 and 5000 μg/plate were tested in triplicate in the tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA.
Second experiment
Based on the results of the first mutation assay, five doses (increasing with approximately half-log steps) of the test item were selected and tested in triplicate in each strain in the
second experiment.
The highest concentration of the test item used in the second mutation assay was 5 mg/plate or the level at which the test item inhibited bacterial growth.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

Test system Salmonella typhimurium bacteria and Escherichia coli bacteria

Source Trinova Biochem GmbH, Germany (Master culture from Dr.
Bruce N. Ames) (TA1535: 2006, TA1537: 2016, TA98: 2015,
TA100: 2015) and (Master culture from The National
Collections of Industrial and Marine Bacteria, Aberdeen, UK)
(WP2uvrA, 2008)
The Salmonella typhimurium strains were regularly checked to confirm their
histidine-requirement, crystal violet sensitivity, ampicillin resistance (TA98 and TA100),
UV-sensitivity and the number of spontaneous revertants.
The Escherichia coli WP2uvrA strain detects base-pair substitutions. The strain lacks an
excision repair system and is sensitive to agents such as UV. The sensitivity of the strain to a
wide variety of mutagens has been enhanced by permeabilization of the strain using
Tris-EDTA treatment (Ref.1). The strain was regularly checked to confirm the
tryptophan-requirement, UV-sensitivity and the number of spontaneous revertants.
Stock cultures of the five strains were stored in liquid nitrogen (-196°C).

Rationale for test conditions:

Rationale Recommended test system in international guidelines (e.g.
OECD, EC and MITI).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

All bacterial strains showed negative responses over the entire dose range; i.e., no significant dose-related increase in the number of revertants in two independently repeated experiments.
The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory background historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate
and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
Based on the results of this study it is concluded that GR-50-3010 is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation
assay.

Executive summary:

Not mutagenic in OECD 471.
