Additional information on results:
No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester stains were observed following treatment with 1-2-4 Triazole at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.

Any other information on results incl. tables

1-2-4 Triazole was toxic towards the tester strains at the highest dose level (5000 µg/plate) in the dose range finding test. Therefore, 1500 µg/plate was chosen as the top dose level in the mutation tests.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:


No evidence of mutagenic potential of 1-2-4 Triazole was obtained in this bacterial test system at the dose levels used.
Executive summary:

An Ames test was carried out with 1,2,4 -triazole (OECD 471 guideline study).

Test material was tested on 5 S. typhimurium strains (TA 1535, TA1538, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100) with and without metabolic activation (S9 -mix).

No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester stains were observed following treatment with 1-2-4 Triazole at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
