METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method.: background growth inhibition


METHODS FOR MEASUREMENTS OF GENOTOXICIY : See "Evaluation Criteria" section.

Rationale for test conditions:
Per OECD 471.
Evaluation criteria:
No formal hypothesis testing was done.
A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in any tester strain at any concentration is not greater than two times the solvent control value, with or without metabolic activation.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) It induces a number of revertant colonies, dose related, greater than two-times the number of revertants induced by the solvent control in any of the tester strains, either with or without metabolic activation.
However, any mean plate count of less than 20 is considered to be not significant.
b) The positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.

Additional information on results:
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Data on pH: None
- Data on osmolality: None
- Possibility of evaporation from medium: The test article is a solid suspended in a vehicle. Evaporation is not expected/possible
- Water solubility: No data
- Precipitation and time of the determination: No precipitation was observed.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES (if applicable): The range-finding study was included as the first portion of the first mutation experiment.

STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle negative and positive control data : The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within our laboratory background historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.

For all test methods and criteria for data analysis and interpretation:
- Concentration-response relationship where possible : No dose-related, two-fold, increase in the number of revertants was observed in two independently repeated experiments.
- Statistical analysis; p-value if any - No data

Ames test:
- Signs of toxicity : Toxicity (reduction of the bacterial background lawn and reduction in the number of revertants) was observed inall stains at 3330 and/or 5000 ug/plate in the presence and absence of S9-mix.
- Individual plate counts : See attached results tables for summary.
- Mean number of revertant colonies per plate and standard deviation : See attached results tables for summary.

HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA (with ranges, means and standard deviation, and 95% control limits for the distribution as well as the number of data)

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the conditions of this study, the test article is not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

 The mutagenic potential of the test article (off white solid, Lot 3) was evaluated in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay with S. typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537 and E. coli strain WP2uvrA in the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix:Aroclor-1254 induced rat liver). This study was performed in compliance with OECD GLP. The study method was based on OECD 471 (1997) and EEC Directive 67/548/EEC B.13-14 (2000). The test article was prepared in dimethyl sulfoxide just prior to administration to the cells. In the dose range-finding test, the test article was tested at up to 5000 ug/plate in TA100 and WP2uvrA in the presence and absence of S9-mix. In the mutation assays, the test article was tested at up to 5000 ug/plate in each strain in the presence and absence of S9-mix. Strain-specific positive controls were tested in parallel. Each treatment was performed in triplicate. Toxicity (reduction of the bacterial background lawn and reduction in the number of revertants) was observed in all stains at 3330 and/or 5000 ug/plate in the presence and absence of S9-mix. No reproducible, dose-related increase in the number of revertant colonies was observed in any strain at any dose in the presence or absence of S9-mix. All criteria for a valid study were met. Under the conditions of this study, the test article is not mutagenic in the Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
