Details on test material:

- Appearance: yellowish liquid.
- Storage condition of test material: Room temperature in dark

Method

Target gene:

- S. Typhimurium: Histidine operon
- E. Coli: trpE gene

Species / strain

Species / strain / cell type:

S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2

Metabolic activation:

with and without

Metabolic activation system:

Aroclor-induced rat liver S9

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

Concentration range in the main tests (with metabolic activation): 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate
Concentration range in the main tests (without metabolic activation): 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate

Vehicle / solvent:

Solvent: Dimethylsulfoxide
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Prior to commencing testing the solubility of the test substance was assessed at 50 mg/ml in water and dimethyl sulphoxide. The test substance was immiscible with water but fully miscible with dimethyl sulphoxide. Therefore dimethyl sulphoxide was chosen as the solvent.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

DURATION
- Exposure duration: 3 days at 37°C.

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 2 experiments á 3 plates per experiment.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: reduction in revertant colony counts or by the absence of a complete background bacterial lawn.

Evaluation criteria:

The mean number of revertant colonies for all treatment groups is compared with those obtained for solvent control groups. The mutagenic activity of a test substance is assessed by applying the following criteria:

(a) If treatment with a test substance produces an increase in revertant colony numbers of at least twice the concurrent solvent controls, with some evidence of a positive dose-relationship, in two separate experiments, with any bacterial strain either in the presence or absence of S-9 mix, it is considered to show evidence of mutagenic activity in this test system.

(b) If treatment with a test substance does not produce reproducible increases of at least 1.5 times the concurrent solvent controls, at any dose level with any bacterial strain, it is considered to show no evidence of mutagenic activity in this test system.

Statistics:

No statistical analysis was performed.

Additional information on results:

Observations:
No increase in the frequency of revertant colonies was recorded for any of the bacterial strains at any dose both with and without metabolic activation. The solvent control plates gave counts in the expected ranges. All positive controls produced marked increases in the revertant counts. Precipitation of the test article in solution occurred with all strains from concentrations of 1250 µg/plate and above
