Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)
- Type and identity of media:
- The following growth media were used:
- Nutrient Broth: Oxoid Nutrient Broth No 2 was prepared at a concentration of 2.5% in distilled water and autoclaved prior to use.
This was used for the preparation of liquid cultures of the tester strains.
- Nutrient Agar: Oxoid Nutrient Broth No 2 (25g) and Difco Bacto-agar (15g) were dissolved in distilled water (1 litre) and autoclaved.
The solution was then poured into 9 cm plastic Petri dishes and allowed to solidify and dry before use. These plates were used for the non-selective growth of the tester strains.
- Minimal Agar: Minimal medium agar was prepared as 1.5% Difco Bacto-agar in Vogel
Bonner Medium E, with 2% Glucose, and poured into 9 cm plastic Petri dishes.
- Top Agar: "Top Agar" (overlay agar) was prepared as 0.6% Difco Bacto-agar + 0.5% NaCl
in distilled water. Prior to use 10 ml of a sterile solution of 0.5 mM Biotin + 0.5 mM Histidine (Salmonella Typhimurium tester strains) or 0.5 mM tryptophan (Escherichia Coli tester strain) was added to the top agar (100 ml). The trace amount of these aminoacids in the media allows all the pla ted bacteria to undergo a few cell divisions, which is essential for mutagenesis to be fully expressed.



DURATION
- Preincubation period: 72 hours at +37°C

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:3 replicate for each point

First evaluation:
Toxicity was observed at higher dose levels with all tester strains with the exception of TA1535, WP2uvrA and TA98 tester strains in the presence of S9 metabolic activation.
Therefore a Main Assay III, using the pre-incubation method, was performed with these tester strain/treatment combinations. In order to assay the test item at non cytotoxic dose levels, the following concentrations were employed: 625, 313, 156, 78.1, 39.1 ug/plate.
 
Evaluation criteria:
For the test item to be considered mutagenic, two-fold (or more) increases in mean revertant numbers must be observed at two consecutive dose levels or at the highest practicable dose level only. In addition, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose levels

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

It is concluded that the test item Hexahydro-4 Methylphthalic Anhydride does not induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions.

Executive summary:

A bacterial reverse mutation assay (Ames test) has been undertaken following OECD/EU test methods. Experiments were performed both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation at concentrations up to 5000 µg/plate. The substance did not induce reverse mutation inSalmonella typhimuriumorEscherichia coli.
