Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
True negative controls:
not specified
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
2-nitrofluorene

mitomycin C
other: 4-Nitro-1,2-phenylenediamine, 2-aminoanthracene
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
According to OECD TG 471 ( plate incorporation methodology and pre-incubation methodology
Evaluation criteria:
A reproducible and dose-related increase in mutant counts of at least one strain is considered to be a positive result. For TA1535, TA100, TA1537 and TA98 this increase should be about twice that of solvent controls. For TA102 an increase of about 100 mutants should be reached. Otherwise, the result is evaluated as negative. However, these criteria may be overruled by good scientific judgment.
In case of questionable results, investigations should continue, possibly with modifications, until a final evaluation is possible.
Statistics:
no data

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative
Executive summary:

The principal aim of this study was the investigation of the test item for point mutagenic effects using a plate incorporation test and a repeat test with preincubation modification. For this purpose, the test item, dissolved in DMSO, was administered in initially doses of up to and including 5000 μg per plate without and with S9 mix on the five Salmonella typhimurium LT2 mutant strains TA1535, TA100, TA1537, TA98 and TA102, according to the OECD guideline 471 under GLP conditions. In the plate incorporation test strain-specific bacteriotoxic were seen at 160 μg per plate.and above and in the pre-incubation test at 16 µg/plate and above, In both methodologies substance precipitation occurred at 5000 μg per plate.

Under the experimental conditions reported (direct plate incorporation procedure and preincubation modification) the test item did not induce gene mutations by base-pair changes or frame-shifts in the genome of the S. typhimurium strains used, when tested up to a maximum recommended dose of 5000 μg/plate in the absence and presence of S9 mix.
