Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
Experiment I: plate incorporation method without and with induced rat liver S9 mix (induction with phenobarbital/beta-naphthoflavone)
Experiment II: pre-incubation method without and with non-induced hamster liver S9 mix.

DURATION:
-preincubation period (experimentII): 30 °C, for 30 min
- exposure duration: 48 h at 37 °C in the dark

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3 plates per strain and dose level including the controls
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100, WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535, TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent colony is observed.

A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration.

An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.
A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the thresshold is regarded as an indication of mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. however, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative annd solvent controls such as an increase is not considered biologically relevant.
Statistics:
Arithmetic mean, standard deviation and the ratio of treated versus solvent were calculated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test item did not exert mutagenic activity in the reverse bacterial mutation assay (plate incorporation assay and pre-incubation assay according to Prival) with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

Mutagenic activity of the test item was investigated in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA98 and TA100 as well as Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA with (induced rat liver S9 mix) and without metabolic activation at concentrations of 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate using the plate incorporation assay. Due to the test items characteristic as an azo-dye the test was also conducted using the Prival modification, i.e. testing the above mentioned bacterial strains in the preincubation assay without and with uninduced hamster liver S9 mix for metabolic activation. This test was performed using the same concentrations.

The test item did not reveal any mutagenic activity under the conditions tested. The appropriate reference mutagenes showed distinct positive mutagenic effects.
