Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In a key study conducted according to Japanese guidelines and in compliance with GLP, cyclohexyldimethoxymethylsilane showed no mutagenic potential in a bacterial reverse mutation (Ames) assay with four strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA, with or without S9.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study, conducted according to Japanese guidelines, CHMS was assessed for its ability to induce reverse mutation in bacteria in an Ames test.

A range-finding study was first conducted using the pre-incubation method in which the test material was tested at concentrations of up to 5000 µg/plate, with and without a rat metabolic activation fraction (S9), to determine the concentrations for the main study. In the main study, again using a pre-incubation method, Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100, TA98 and TA1537 were tested at up to 156 µg/plate and TA 1535 and Escherchia coli WP2 uvrA were tested at up to 313 µg/plate without S9. In the presence of S9, TA1537 was tested at up to 156 µg/plate, TA100, TA98 and TA1535 at up to 313 µg/plate and WP2 uvrA at up to 5000 µg/plate. The S9 was prepared from microsomes obtained from phenobarbital- and 5,6-benzoflavone-induced rat liver and the pre-incubation period was 20 min, after which top agar was added to the pre-incubation mix and poured onto the surface of agar plates. After incubation at 37 oC for 2 days the revertant colonies were counted. Vehicle controls were similarly prepared together with positive controls using known mutagens.

No increase in mutant frequency was observed with the test material when compared to the vehicle controls in either the range-finding or main study. The positive controls gave the expected increase in mutant frequency demonstrating the validity of the assay. With the test material, cytotoxicity was observed for each of the strains (apart from WP2 uvrA with S9) at the highest concentration tested as shown by inhibition of the background lawn and the number of mutants present.

Under the conditions of this assay, CHMS showed no mutagenic potential in a reverse bacterial mutation test with four strains of S. typhimurium and E. coli WP uvrA.
