Executive summary:

The mutagenic potential of catalytic cracked clarified oil (up to 50000 µg/plate; sample API 81-15) was investigated in a non-guideline GLP-compliant study. Four separate tests were conducted in duplicate using S. typhimurium strain TA 98 in the presence of either 10% Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S9 mix and 4 mM NADP or 80% S9 mix and 12 mM NADP; 2-aminoanthracene and perylene were used as positive control substances. A two-fold increase in revertants per plate was regarded as a positive response.

The test substance was positive in all 4 tests, with the number of revertants increased maximally 13.1, 27.8, 44 and 46.3-fold, respectively over solvent controls. The largest increase in revertants occurred in the assays activated with 80% S-9 and 12 mM NADP. A satisfactory response was obtained with the positive control substances.
