Metabolic activation:

Metabolic activation system:
Rat liver S9
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Experiment 1 - Range Finding Test (plate incorporation method): 0, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
Experiment 2 (pre-incubation method):
Salmonella strains with and without S9-mix - TA100, TA1535, TA1537: 0, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500 µg/plate
Salmonella strains with S9 mix - TA98: 0, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 µg/plate
Salmonella strain without S9-mix - TA98: 0, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500 µg/plate
E.coli strain with and without S9-mix - WP2uvrA: 0, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 µg/plate
One bacterial strain (Ecoli - WP2uvrA dosed in the absence of S9-mix) exhibited excessive toxicity and required a repeat experiment using the following dose range: 0, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 µg/plate.
Up to seven test item dose levels were selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both a minimum of four non-toxic doses and the toxic limit of the test item following the change in test methodology.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test item was immiscible in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/mL but was fully miscible in dimethyl sulphoxide at the same concentration in solubility checks performed. Dimethyl sulphoxide was therefore selected as the vehicle.
- Other: The test item was accurately weighed and approximate half-log dilutions prepared in dimethyl sulphoxide by mixing on a vortex mixer on the day of each experiment. No correction was made for purity as the test item is a UVCB. All formulations were used within four hours of preparation and were assumed to be stable for this period. Prior to use, the solvent was dried to remove water using molecular sieves i.e. 2 mm sodium alumino silicate pellets with a nominal pore diameter of 4 x 10-4 microns.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: Experiment 1. in medium; in agar (plate incorporation) ; Experiment 2. in medium; in agar (pre-incubation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration:
Experiment 1. All of the plates were incubated at 37 ± 3 ºC for approximately 48 hours and scored for the presence of revertant colonies using an automated colony counting system. The plates were viewed microscopically for evidence of thinning (toxicity).

Experiment 2. 0.1 mL of the appropriate bacterial strain culture, 0.5 mL of phosphate buffer OR S9-mix (as appropriate) and 0.1 mL of the test item formulation, vehicle or 0.1 mL of appropriate positive control were incubated at 37 ± 3 ºC for 20 minutes (with shaking) prior to addition of 2 mL of molten amino-acid supplemented media Subsequently, the procedure for incubation and duration was the same as in Experiment 1. Several manual counts were required, predominantly due to interference in the base agar e.g. minor precipitation of salts/dust particles and marks on the base of the plates slightly distorting the counts.

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al., 1989).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out of historical range response (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)).
A test item is considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
In instances of data prohibiting definitive judgement about test item activity are reported as equivocal.
Statistics:
Statistical methods (Mahon, et al.); as recommended by the UKEMS Subcommittee on Guidelines for Mutagenicity Testing, Report - Part III (1989).

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results:
negative
Under the conditions of this study the test item was considered to be non-mutagenic in the presence and absence of S9 activation.
Executive summary:

The study was performed to the requirements of OECD Guideline 471, EU Method B13/14, US EPA OCSPP 870.5100 and Japanese guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing under GLP, to evaluate the potential mutagenicity of the test substance in a bacterial reverse mutation assay using S.typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA- in both the presence and absence of S-9 mix. The test strains were treated with the test substance using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre incubation methods at up to eight dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range for Experiment 1 was predetermined and was 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate. The experiment was repeated on a separate day (pre-incubation method) using fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test item formulations. The dose range was amended following the results of Experiment 1 and ranged between 0.5 and 5000 µg/plate depending on bacterial tester strain and absence or presence of S9-mix. Up to seven test item dose levels were selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both a minimum of four non-toxic doses and the toxic limit of the test item following the change in test methodology. The vehicle (dimethyl sulphoxide) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. The sensitivity of the bacterial tester strains to the toxicity of the test item varied slightly between strain type, exposures with or without S9-mix and experimental methodology. A test item precipitate (light and globular in appearance) was noted under an inverted microscope at 5000 µg/plate, this observation did not prevent the scoring of revertant colonies. It was concluded that, under the conditions of this assay, the test substance gave a negative, i.e. non-mutagenic response in S.typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA- in the presence and absence of S-9 mix.
