DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
These tests permit the detection of point mutations in bacteria induced by chemical substances. Any mutagenic effects of the substances are demonstrable on comparison of the number of bacteria in the treated and control cultures that have undergone back-mutation to histidine- or tryptophan-prototrophism. To ensure that mutagenic effects of metabolites of the test substance formed in mammals would also be detected, experiments were performed in which the cultures were additionally treated with an activation . mixture (rat liver microsomes and co-factors)
Statistics:
no

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

In the experiments performed without and with microsomal activation, comparison of the number of back-mutant colonies in the controls and the cultures treated with the various concentrations of TK 12 152 (Octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) revealed no marked deviations.

No evidence of the induction of point mutations by TK 12 152 or by the metabolites of the substance' formed as a result of microsomal activation was detectable in the strains of S. typhimurium and E. coli used in these experiments.
Executive summary:

TK 12 152 (Octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) was tested for mutagenic effects on histidine-auxotrophic strains of Salmonella typhimurium and on a tryptophan auxotrophic strain of E. coll. The investigations were performed with the following concentrations of the trial substance without and with microsomal activation: 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000 and 5000 µg/0.l ml.

In the experiments performed without and with microsomal activation, comparison of the number of back-mutant colonies in the controls and the cultures treated with the various concentrations of TK 12 152 (Octyltin tris(2-ethylhexylmercaptoacetate) (MOTE) revealed no marked deviations.

No evidence of the induction of point mutations by TK 12 152 or by the metabolites of the substance' formed as a result of microsomal activation was detectable in the strains of S. typhimurium and E. coli used in these experiments.
