Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the limited solubility of the test substance in water, DMSO was selected as the vehicle, which has been demonstrated to be suitable in bacterial reverse mutation tests and for which historical control data are available.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 minutes
- Exposure duration: 48-72 hours

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
The test chemical is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met:
A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one
tester strain either without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.

A test substance is generally considered nonmutagenic in this test if:
The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in two experiments
carried out independently of each other.
Statistics:
no data

Additional information on results:
A weak bacteriotoxic effect was occasionally observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 600 µg - 3000 µg/plate onward.

The maximum increase in the number of revertant colonies of 1.6, which was observed in a single incidence without a dose response relationship was well below a doubling of the number of revertant colonies and as the criteria for a positive result were not met, the test substance is not mutagenic in the Ames test.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the test conditions, DGEBA diacrylate is not considered as mutagenic in bacterial reverse mutation test.
Executive summary:

In a GLP study performed according to OECD guideline 471, DGEBA diacrylate was tested for mutagenicity using Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E.coli WP2 uvrA with the plate incorporation and preincubation methods in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system.

A concentration range from 24.0 µg to 6000 µg/plate was used with the plate incorporation technique and concentrations from 4.8 µg to 3000 pg/plate were tested with the preincubation method. Precipitation was found from about 3000 µg/plate and higher. A weak bacteriotoxic effect was occasionally observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 600 pg to 3000 pg/plate.

The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. DGEBA diacrylate showed no substantial increases in revertant colony numbers over control count obtained with any of the tester strains at any concentrations in either presence or absence of S-9.

Under the test conditions, DGEBA diacrylate is not considered as mutagenic in this bacterial system.
