Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Coumarin 30 did not induce gene toxicity in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1538, TA98 and TA100 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is negative for gene mutation in vitro.
Executive summary:

Gene mutation study was performd to evaluate the mutagenic nature of the test compound Coumarin 30 using Salmonella typhimurium strain TA1538, TA98 and TA100 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. Bacteria were grown overnight in Oxoid nutrient broth, then refrigerated at 4-5OC for a few hours before use. 0.1 ml of bacterial culture was added to 2 ml of 45°C molten top agar containing 0.01 mg histidine HCI and 0.012 mg biotin/ml, followed by the 0.1 or 1.0 mg/plate test sample in ≤0.2 ml DMSO. Finally, 0.5 ml of sodium phosphate buffer, pH 7.4 (no activation), or 0.5 ml of Aroclor-induced rat S9 mixture was added, and the mixture was poured on minimal glucose agar plates. Histidine revertant colonies were counted on a Biotran II automated colony counter after a 2-day incubation at 37°C. A sample was judged mutagenic if it produced greater than twice the spontaneous background colonies at more than one dose or at the highest dose tested. Coumarin 30 did not induce gene toxicity in the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1538, TA98 and TA100 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence it is negative for gene mutation in vitro.
