Materials and methods

Test guideline

Guideline:

OECD Guideline 471 (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay)

Principles of method if other than guideline:

A mutagenic response was defined as a reproducible, dose-related increase in the number of histidine-independent colonies over the spontaneous incidence. There was no requirement for a specific magnitude of increase.

GLP compliance:

not specified

Type of assay:

Constituent 1

Reference substance name:

Di(tridecyl) phthalate

EC Number:

204-294-3

EC Name:

Di(tridecyl) phthalate

Cas Number:

119-06-2

IUPAC Name:

ditridecyl phthalate

Details on test material:

All testing was done using a preincubation modification of the method of Ames, Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 were used with S-9 liver homogenate preparations from Arochlor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rats and Syrian hamsters. An overnight culture of Salmonella, S-9 fraction and DTDP were plated onto minimal agar at 37 Celsius for two days, after which the histidine revertant colonies were machine counted. DTDP was tested at 5 different concentrations.

Method

Species / strain

Species / strain / cell type:

S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100

Metabolic activation:

with and without

Metabolic activation system:

S9 fraction of Aroclor 1254 induced rat and hamster liver

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

5 dose levels up to 10 mg/plate

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

Approximately 10E8 bacteria were mixed with 0.5 ml of either 0.1M sodium phosphate buffer or S-9 mix, and test substance. The reaction was carried out in triplicate. The mixture was incubated at 37°C for 48 hours, after which time histidine-revertant colonies were counted. The doses selected were separated by half-log intervals. The high dose was 10 mg/plate unless limited by solubility. Positive control chemicals were sodium azide, nitro-o-phenylenediamine, 9-aminoacridine and 2-aminoanthracene. Concurrent solvent and positive controls were included in all experiments. A toxicity pretest with TA 100 was conducted to determine the high dose level.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

No mutagenic activity was observed at doses up to 10 mg/plate in Salmonella strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 with or without metabolic activation.

Executive summary:

The mutagenic capacity of DTDP was assessed using the Ames method. Salmonella typhimurium TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 were used with S-9 liver homogenate preparations from Arochlor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rats and Syrian hamsters. An overnight culture of Salmonella, +/- S-9 fraction and DTDP were plated onto minimal agar at 37 Celsius for two days, after which the histidine revertant colonies were machine counted. Five different concentrations of DTDP were used. No mutagenic activity was observed at doses up to 10 mg/plate in Salmonella strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 with or without metabolic activation.
