Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
0 - 1.58 - 5 - 15.8 - 50 - 158 -500 -1580 - 5000 µg/plate
Vehicle / solvent:
DMSO
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
not specified
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: Methyl methansulfonatem 9-Aminoacridine, 2-Nitrofluorene, N-ethyl-Nnitro-N.nitrosoguanidine, 2-Aminoanthracene, Benzo(a)pyrene
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
IUCLID4 Type: Ames test, according to the respective guieline: preincubation procedere
Evaluation criteria:
A material is identified as a mutagen in this test system if ther was a reproducible demonstration of a dose-effect relation with a 2-fold increase in the number of revertants compared with the concurrent negative control in at least 1 strain. With the strain TA100 a 1.5-fold increase was the criterion for a positive result.
Statistics:

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
negative
Executive summary:

N,N-Dimethylbenzylamine diluted in DMSO was tested for point mutations in the Ames-test according to OECD TG 471 and GLP using Salmonella typhimuriun TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 in the presence and in the absence of a metabolic activation system and concentrations ranging between 1.58 and 5000 µg/plate. Cytotoxicity was observed at the highest test concentration. Under the conditions of this test N,N-dimethylbenzylamine did not induce point mutations (BG Chemie 1986).
