valid
Additional information on results:
PRECIPITATION CONCENTRATION:
At 200 µg per plate, the substance started to precipitate.

CYTOTOXIC CONCENTRATION:
There was no indication of a bacteriotoxic effect at doses of up and including 100 µg per plate. The total bacteria counts consistently produced results comparable to the negative controls, or differed only insignificantly. Nor was any inhibition of growth noted. Higher doses had a strain-specific bacteriotoxic effect. Therefore they could only be used to a limited extent up to 1000 µg per plate.

GENOTOXIC EFFECTS:
None of the four strains concerned showed a dose-related and biologically relevant increase in mutant counts over those of the negative controls. This applied both to the tests with and without S9 mix and was confirmed by the results of the repeat tests. The positive controls sodium azide, nitrofurantoin, 4-nitro-1,2-phenylene diamine and 2-aminoanthracene increased mutant counts to well over those of the vehicle controls, and thus demonstrated the system's sensitivity and the activity of the S9 mix.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
Executive summary:

In an Ames test with the S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, and TA 1537 1,5-naphthylene diisocyanate revealed no mutagenic activity in the absence and in the presence of a metabolic activation system (OECD TG 471).
