Details on test system and experimental conditions:
A toxicity range finding experiment was conducted with strain TA98 six concentrations plus negative (vehicle) controls in absence and in the presence of metabolic activation S-9 with both methods used (preincubation and plate incorporation method). No evidence of toxicity was observed following this treatment. This test was acceptable and no evidence of toxicity was observed following this treatment. For main test five concentrations were assayed in triplicate against each tester strain with and without metabolic activation following preincubation method. No evidence of toxicity was observed following this treatment. Negative and positive control treatments were included. The mean numbers of revertant colonies on negative control plates were all acceptable.
Evaluation criteria:
Evaluation criteria: test article would be considered mutagenic if:
the increase in the number of revertants is concentration-related;
at one concnetration tested ( at least), the number of revertant colonies is equal to or greater than twice the number of spontaneous revertants with TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 and three times that observed with TA1535 and TA1537;
the positive responses described above were reproducible in an independent assay.
Statistics:
Mean and standard deviation of the plate counts for each treatment were determined.

Additional information on results:
Observations:
All positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with and without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9 mix were validated.

The test substance caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial lawn at any dose level. The test substance was, therefore, tested up to the maximum recommended dose of 5000 ug/plate. No test substance precipitate was observed on the plates at any doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9 mix.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative without metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

No dose-related and reproducible increases in revertant colony frequency were observed in any tester strains at any concentration, both with and without S9. The test substance was not genotoxic in the Ames test.
