Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Docosanoic acid
EC Number:
204-010-8
EC Name:
Docosanoic acid
Cas Number:
112-85-6
Molecular formula:
C22H44O2
IUPAC Name:
docosanoic acid
Details on test material:
The test substance provided by Nippon Oil & Fats (NOF) Corporation was used. The test substance was stored at room temperature until use.
Specific details on test material used for the study:
The test substance provided by NOF Corporation was used. The test substance was stored at room temperature until use. After the test was completed, the residual test substance was analyzed by the test substance provider, and as a result, there was no problem with stability.

Method

Target gene:
his operon (S. typhimurium strains), trp operon (E. coli strain)
Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 mix was prepared from the liver of male Sprague-Dawley rats treated with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone as inducers.
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
156, 313, 625, 1250, 2500, 5000 µg/plate
Vehicle / solvent:
DMSO
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
not specified
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
not specified
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
other: -S9: 2-(2 Furyl)-3-(5-nitro-2-furyl)acrylamide (0.01 µg/plate);Sodium azide(0.5 µg/plate);Aminoacridine hydrochloride(80 µg/plate);+S9: 2-Aminoanthracene(1.0 µg/plate;TA100),(2 µg/plate;TA1535;TA1537),(10 µg/plate;WP2 uvrA),(0.5 µg/plate;TA98)
Remarks:
These positive control substances were dissolved using DMSO, dispensed in small portions, and then cryopreserved (-20 ° C).
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 minutes at 37 °C
- Exposure duration: 48 hours; after that, the growth state of the test strain on the plate was observed using a stereomicroscope (× 60) in order to confirm the growth inhibitory effect of the test substance on the test strain

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2 times (3 plates/concentration/test)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
An increase twice the number of revertant colonies in test concentration plates compared to the solvent control plates and an observable dose-dependency is considered as a positive result.
