Details on test system and experimental conditions:
TEST DESIGN
Standard plate test (SPT) and preincubation test (PIT), both with and without metabolic activation, were performed.

Standard plate test (SPT, Experiment 1):
The experimental procedure was based on Ames et al. (Mut. Res. 31: 347-364, 1975) and Maron & Ames (Mut. Res. 113: 173-215, 1983).
Test tubes containing 2 mL portions of soft agar [100 mL agar (0.8% [w/v] agar + 0.6% [w/v] NaCl) and 10 mL amino acid solution (minimal amino acid solution for the determination of mutants: 0.5 mM histidine + 0.5 mM biotin for S. typhimurium or 0.5 mM tryptophan for E.coli)] were kept in a water bath at about 42 - 45°C. 0.1 mL test solution or vehicle (negative control), 0.1 mL fresh bacterial culture and 0.5 mL S9 mix (in case of metabolic activation) or 0.5 mL phosphate buffer (in case of no metabolic activation) were added.
After mixing, the samples were poured onto agar plates and incubated at 37°C for 48 to 72 hours in the dark. After incubation, the bacterial colonies were counted for revertants.

Preincubation Test (PIT, Experiment 2 and 3):
The experimental procedure was based on the method described by Yahagi et al. (Mut. Res. 48: 121-130, 1977) and Matsushima et al. (In: Norpoth, K.H. and R.C. Garner, Short-Term Test Systems for Detecting Carcinogens. Springer Verlag Berlin, Heidelberg, New York, 1980). 0.1 mL test solution or vehicle, 0.1 mL bacterial suspension and 0.5 mL S9 mix (in case of metabolic activation) or phosphate buffer (in case of no metabolic activation) were incubated at 37°C for about 20 minutes using a shaker. Subsequently, 2 mL of soft agar was added and, after mixing, the samples were poured onto the agar plates and incubated at 37°C for 48 to 72 hours in the dark. After incubation, the bacterial colonies were counted for revertants.

PARAMETERS EXAMINED

Mutagenicity:
Individual plate counts, the mean number of revertant colonies per plate and the standard deviations were given for all dose groups as well as for the positive and negative (vehicle) controls in all experiments.

Titer:
The titer was determined only in the experimental parts with S9 mix both for the
negative controls (vehicle only) and for the two highest doses in all experiments.

Cytotoxicity:
Toxicity was detected by (1) decrease in the number of revertants, (2) clearing or diminution of the background lawn (= reduced his- or trp- background growth) and (3) reduction in the titer. Cytotoxicity was recorded for all test groups both with and without S9 mix in all experiments.

Solubility:
Precipitation of the test item was recorded and indicated. As long as precipitation does not interfere with colony scoring, 5000 µg/plate is generally selected and analyzed (in cases of nontoxic compounds) as the maximum dose at least in the 1st Experiment even in the case of relatively insoluble test compounds to detect possible mutagenic impurities.


Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance criteria:
The experiment is considered valid if the following criteria are met:
- The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls is within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain;
- The sterility controls reveales no indication of bacterial contamination;
- The positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induce a distinct increase in number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control data or above;
- The titer of viable bacteria is egal to/greater than 10E+8/mL.

Assessment criteria:
The test item is positive if a dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i .e . about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without or with S9-mix, is observed.
The test item is generally nonmutagenic if the number of revertants for all tester strains is within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Additional information on results:
MUTAGENICITY
When tested in the S. typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA100 and TA98 and in E. coli WP2uvrA under standard plate test (SPT) and preincubation test (PIT) conditions, with and without S9 mix, the test item did not induce an increase in his+ or trp+ revertant colonies at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate.
CYTOTOXICITY
A cytototoxic effect was observed in the SPT depending on the strain and test conditions from 2 500 μg/plate onward; iIn the PIT, cytotoxicity was observed from 1250 µg/plate onward.
PRECIPITATION
No test item precipitation was observed within the concentration range tested, with and without S9-mix.
CONTROLS
The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data reported in the study for each tester strain, both with and without S9-mix. The positive control substances induced the expected increased in revertant colonies, both with and without S9-mix; the results were within the historical positive control range. Thus, the results of the negative as well as the positive controls performed in parallel corroborated the validity of this study, since the values fulfilled the acceptance criteria of this study.
