- METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium
The following growth media were used:
Nutrient Broth: Oxoid Nutrient Broth No 2 was prepared at a concentration of 2.5% in distilled water and autoclaved prior to use.
This was used for the preparation of liquid cultures of the tester strains.
Nutrient Agar: Oxoid Nutrient Broth No 2 (25 g) and Difco Bacto-agar (15 g) were added to distilled water (1 litre) and autoclaved.
The solutions were then poured into 9 cm plastic Petri dishes and allowed to solidify and dry before use. These plates were used for the non-selective growth of the tester strains.
Minimal Agar: Minimal medium agar was prepared as 1.5% Difco Bacto-agar in Vogel-Bonner Medium E, with 2% Glucose, autoclaved and poured into 9 cm plastic Petri dishes.
Top Agar: "Top Agar" (overlay agar) was prepared as 0.6% Difco Bacto-agar + 0.5% NaCl in distilled water and autoclaved. Prior to use 10 mL of a sterile solution of 0.5 mM Biotin + 0.5 mM Histidine (or 0.5 mM tryptophan) was added to the top agar (100 mL).
DURATION
- Preincubation period:The treatment mixture will be vortexed and placed at 37°C for 30 minutes
- Incubation period: approximately 72 hours at 37°C.
- Preliminary toxicity test:A preliminary toxicity test was undertaken in order to select the concentrations of the test item to be used in the main assays. In this test a wide range of dose levels of the test item, set at half-log intervals, were used. Treatments were performed both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism using the plate incorporation method; a single plate was used at each test point and positive controls were not included. Toxicity was assessed on the basis of a decline in the number of spontaneous revertants, a thinning of the background lawn or a microcolony formation.
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: high titre of viable bacteria (1-5 x 10^9 cell/ml)
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: mitotic index; cloning efficiency; relative total growth; other:
OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Sterility check: The sterility of the S9 mix and of the test item solutions was confirmed by the absence of colonies on additional agar plates spread separately with these solutions. Marked increases in revertant numbers were obtained in these tests following treatment with the positive control items, indicating that the assay system was functioning correctly. - Evaluation criteria:
- For the test item to be considered mutagenic, two-fold (or more) increases in mean revertant numbers must be observed at two consecutive dose levels or at the highest practicable dose level only. In addition, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose levels.
- Statistics:
- The data will be presented in tabular form. The individual plate counts for each experiment will be given, together with the means and standard errors of the means, and regression analyses.
Evaluation of Ames test data based on a ‘doubling rate’ has been shown to be as effective as statistical techniques in allowing the correct interpretation of test results (Chu et al. 1981).

- TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation:Moderate precipitation of the test item, which did not interfere with the scoring, was observed at the end of the incubation period at the highest concentration.
- Solubility:Solubility of the test item was evaluated in a preliminary trial using DMSO, acetone and ethanol. These solvents were selected since they are compatible with the survival of the bacteria and the S9 metabolic activity. A suspension of the test item, suitable for treatment but not for serial dilution preparation, was found in DMSO at 125 mg/mL after sonication at 37 °C for 10 minutes. A clear solution was obtained in DMSO at 62.5 mg/mL after sonication at 37 °C for 30 minutes. These results permitted a maximum concentration of 5000 g/plate to be used in the toxicity test. - Remarks on result:

Any other information on results incl. tables
Toxicity was observed with all tester strains at higher dose levels, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. A more pronounced toxic effect, with toxicity at all or almost all dose levels, was observed with TA1535 and TA1537 in the absence of S9 metabolism and with TA100 both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative
It is concluded that the test item does not induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions. - Executive summary:
The test item was examined for the ability to induce gene mutations in tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, as measured by reversion of auxotrophic strains to prototrophy. The five tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA were used. Experiments were performed both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation, using liver S9 fraction from rats pre-treated with phenobarbitone and betanaphthoflavone. The test item was used as a suspension/solution in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).
The test item was assayed in the toxicity test at a maximum concentration of 5000 g/plate and at four lower concentrations spaced at approximately half-log intervals: 1580, 500, 158 and 50.0 g/plate. Precipitation of the test item, which did not interfere with the scoring, was observed at the end of the incubation period at the highest concentration. Toxicity was observed at the highest or at the two highest dose levels, with TA1535 and TA1537 in the absence of S9 metabolism and with TA100 both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. In Main Assay I, using the plate incorporation method, the test item was assayed at the following dose levels:
Tester strain S9 Dose level (µg/plate) TA1535, WP2 uvrA, TA98 ± 5000, 2500, 1250, 625, 313 TA1537 + TA100 + 5000, 2500, 1250, 625, 313, 156 TA1537, TA100 – 2500, 1250, 625, 313, 156, 78.1 Toxicity was observed at the highest or at the two highest dose levels with TA1535 in the absence of S9 metabolism and with TA1537 and TA100 both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. Dose-related precipitation of the test item, which did not interfere with the scoring, was observed at the end of the incubation period at 5000 and 2500 µg/plate.
As no increases in revertant numbers were observed at any concentration tested, a pre-incubation step was included for all treatments of Main Assay II. The test item was assayed at the following dose levels:
Tester strain S9 Dose level (µg/plate) WP2 uvrA, TA98 ± 5000, 2500, 1250, 625, 313 TA1535 + TA1535 – 5000, 2500, 1250, 625, 313, 156 TA1537 + TA100 ± 2500, 1250, 625, 313, 156, 78.1 TA1537 – Toxicity was observed with all tester strains at higher dose levels, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. A more pronounced toxic effect, with toxicity at all or almost all dose levels, was observed with TA1535 and TA1537 in the absence of S9 metabolism and with TA100 both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. Dose-related precipitation of the test item, which did not interfere with the scoring, was observed at the end of the incubation period at 5000, 2500 and 1250 µg/plate.
In order to assess the mutagenicity of the test item at non cytotoxic concentrations, an additional experiment (Main Assay III) was performed using the pre-incubation method with TA1535 and TA1537, in the absence of S9 metabolism, and with TA100, both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. The test item was assayed at the following lower concentrations:
Tester strain S9 Dose level (µg/plate) TA1535, TA1537 – 170, 85.0, 42.5, 21.3, 10.6 TA100 ± 85.0, 42.5, 21.3, 10.6, 5.31 Toxicity was observed at the highest or at the two highest dose levels with all tester strains both in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. No precipitation of the test item was observed at the end of the incubation period at any concentration tested.
The test item did not induce two-fold increases in the number of revertant colonies in the plate incorporation or pre-incubation assays, at any dose level, with any tester strain, in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism.
It is concluded that the test item does not induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium or Escherichia coli in the absence or presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions.
