Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

EXPOSURE/INCUBATION DURATION: Approximately 48 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Triplicate

Evaluation criteria:

There are several evaluation criteria for determining a positive result, such as a dose-related increase in revertant frequency over the dose range tested and/or a reproducible increase at one or more concentrations in at least one bacterial strain with or without metabolic activation. Biological relevance is the first consideration. Statistical methods are used to aid evaluation, but statistical significance is not the only determining factor for a positive response.

Statistics:

In the absence of any indication of a positive response for the test material, the data were not subjected to statistical analysis.

Additional information on results:

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH:
- Effects of osmolality:
- Evaporation from medium:
- Water solubility:
- Precipitation: Particulate precipitation was seen at and above 500 micrograms/plate, but this did not prevent scoring of revertant colonies
- Other confounding effects:


RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: The range-finding test was conducted at test material incorporation concentrations of 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 micrograms/plate. The main test was also performed using these concentrations.


COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: Concurrent negative control data were within the historical control ranges.


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY: The test material caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level.

Any other information on results incl. tables

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bactrerial strains at any dose level, either with or without metabolic activation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Executive summary:

The test substance was evaluated for mutagenic potential in an Ames test, using the direct plate incorporation method, and conducted in accordance with OECD Test Guideline 471. Salmonella strains TA98, TA100, TA 1535 and TA1537, and E. coli strain WP2uvrA- were used in the test. The test material, in tetrahydrofuran vehicle/solvent was tested at concentrations of 0, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 micrograms/plate both in the presence and absence of exogenous (S9) metabolic activation. There was no evidence of cytotoxicity. Particulate precipitation of test material was seen at and above 500 micrograms/plate, but this did not prevent scoring of revertant colonies - manual counts were performed at 5000 micrograms/plate due to excessive precipitation. No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains and any dose level, either with or without metabolic activation.
