DURATION

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The reduction of the bacterial background lawn, the increase in the size of the microcolonies and the reduction of the revertant colonies. The condition of the bacterial background lawn was evaluated, both macroscopically and microscopically by using a dissecting microscope.
OTHERS
Colony counting: The revertant colonies (histidine independent or tryptophan independent) were counted manually if less than 40 colonies per plate were present. If more than 40 colonies were present, these could be counted automatically with a Biocount 4000 Pro-S-colony counter. Plates with abundant test article precipitate which interfered with automated colony counting were counted manually and the evidence of test substance precipitate on the plates was recorded. The condition of the bacterial background lawn was evaluated, both macroscopically and microscopically by using a dissecting microscope. - Rationale for test conditions:
- Selection of an adequate range of doses was based on a dose range finding test with the strains TA100 and WP2uvrA, both with and without 5% (v/v) S9-mix.
- Evaluation criteria:
- No formal hypothesis testing was done.
A test substance is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is not greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A test substance is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA100 is greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 or WP2uvrA is greater than three (3) times the concurrent control.
b) In case a repeat experiment is performed when a positive response is observed in one of the tester strains, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
The preceding criteria were not absolute and other modifying factors might enter into the final evaluation decision.

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
- No reduction of the bacterial background lawn and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants were observed at up to 5000 μg/plate in TA100 and WP2uvrA strains.
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
- The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
Experiment 1: In the absence of S9-mix, cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease or total absence in the number of revertants, was observed in all three tester strains at test substance concentrations of 3330 and 5000 μg/plate. In the presence of S9-mix, cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants, was only observed in tester strain TA1537 at test substance concentrations of 3330 and 5000 μg/plate.
Experiment 2: In the absence of S9-mix,cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a total absence of revertant colonies, was observed in the tester strains TA1537 and TA98 at test substance concentrations of 3330 and 5000 μg/plate. A decrease in the number of revertants less than the minimal value of the historical control data range was observed in tester strain TA1535 at the test substance concentration of 5000 μg/plate. In the presence of S9-mix, cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants, was only observed in tester strain TA1537 at the test substance concentrations of 3330 and 5000 μg/plate.
In tester strain TA100 in the presence of S9-mix, fluctuations in the number of revertant colonies below the laboratory historical control data range were observed. However, since no dose relationship was observed, the reductions are not considered to be caused by toxicity of the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Under the test conditions, test substance is not considered as mutagenic in S. typhimurium (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and E. coli WP2 uvr A strains.
- Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria, performed according to the OECD Guideline 471 and in compliance with GLP, strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and Escherichia coli WP2 uvr A strains were exposed to test substance at the following concentrations using plate incorporation method:
Experiment 1:
Dose range finding test: 3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 3330 and 5000 μg/plate, without and with S9 in TA100 and WP2uvrA
Main test:
Experiment 1: 100, 333, 1000, 3330 and 5000 μg/plate, without and with 5% (v/v) S9-mix in TA1535, TA1537 and TA98
Experiment 2: 33, 100, 333, 1000, 3330 and 5000 μg/plate without and with 10% (v/v) S9-mix in TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA
Metabolic activation system used in this test 5 and 10 % S9 mix; S9 fraction prepared from liver homogenates of male Wistar rats induced with phenobarbital and ß-naphthoflavone. Vehicle and positive control groups were also included in mutagenicity tests.
In the dose range finding test, no precipitation was observed up to the top dose of 5000 μg/plate in the strains TA100 and WP2uvrA. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations tested and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed. Results of this dose range finding test were reported as part of the first experiment of the mutation assay. In main tests, cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants or total absence of revertants, was observed in TA1535, TA1537 and TA98 strains in the absence of S9-mix and in tester strain TA1537 in the presence of S9-mix at test substance concentrations of 3330 and 5000 μg/plate.
Test substance did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the four tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in tester strain WP2uvrA both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in an independently repeated experiment.
In this study, the negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
Under the test conditions, test substance is not considered as mutagenic in S. typhimurium (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and E. coli WP2 uvr A strains.
