Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
Sodium 2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethanesulphonate
EC Number:
252-173-9
EC Name:
Sodium 2-[(2-aminoethyl)amino]ethanesulphonate
Cas Number:
34730-59-1
Molecular formula:
C4H12N2O3S.Na
IUPAC Name:
sodium 2-(2-aminoethylamino)ethanesulfonate

Method

Target gene:
mutant histidine gene
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
other: S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98, and TA 102
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 mix was made from the livers of male Sprague Dawley rats, which received a single intraperitoneal injection of 500 mg/kg bw Aroclor 1254, dissolved in corn oil, 5 days prior to sacrifice. The S9 mix comprised 10% S9 fraction.
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
The tested concentrations were based on the content of 45.5% active ingredient in AAS-Loesung.
plate incorporation assay:
0, 50, 160, 500, 1600, 5000 µg/plate with and without S9 mix
preincubation assay:
0, 50, 160, 500, 1600, 5000 µg/tube with and without S9 mix
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: deionized water (test item and positiv control Mytomycin C); DMSO (other positive controls)
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: test item formed a clear colorless solution
Controls
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Positive controls:
yes
Remarks:
Na-azide (only TA 1535), nitrofurantoin (only TA 100), 4-nitro-1,2-phenylene diamine (TA 1537 and TA 98), mitomycin C (only TA 102 in plate incorporation assay), cumene hydroperoxide (only TA 102 in preincubation assay), 2-aminoanthracene
Evaluation criteria:
A reproducible and dose-related increase in mutant counts of at least one strain is considered to be a positive result. For TA 1535, TA 100 and TA 98 this increase should be about twice that of negative controls, whereas for TA 1537, at least a threefold increase should be reached. For TA 102 an increase of about 100 mutants should be reached. Otherwise, the result is evaluated as negative. However, these guidelines 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 statistics perfomed; evaluation based on criteria mentioned above

Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
other: S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98, and TA 102
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
no cytotoxicity nor precipitates, but tested up to recommended limit concentrations
Remarks:
Limit concentration based on active ingredient content. Total bacteria counts remained unchanged and no inhibition of growth was observed
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
None of the five strains showed a dose-related and biologically relevant increase in mutant counts over those of the negative controls in the plate incorporation test. This applied both to the tests with and without S9 mix and was confirmed by the results of the preincubation trials.
Remarks on result:
other: all strains/cell types tested
Remarks:
Migrated from field 'Test system'.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Executive summary:

AAS-Loesung (45.5% solution of active ingredient in water) was evaluated in an Ames Test on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 100, TA, 1537, TA 98, and TA 102, performed according to OECD TG 471. Concentrations of up to and including 5000 µg active ingredient per plate were tested. There was no indication of a bacteriotoxic effect up to the highest concentration tested. The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic without and with S9 mix in the plate incorporation as well as in the preincubation modification of the Salmonella/microsome test.
