Method

Target gene:
Histidine Operon
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Type and composition of metabolic activation system:
- source of S9 : A combination of phenobarbitone and β-naphthoflavone-induced rat liver microsomal enzymes (S9 homogenate) prepared in-house.
- method of preparation of S9 mix : S9 mix [Cofactors (Cofactor ingredients: D-glucose-6-phosphate, β-NADP, magnesium chloride, potassium chloride, sodium phosphate and Liver homogenate] was prepared prior to use in the study. The post-mitochondrial fraction (liver homogenate) was used at the concentration of 10 % (v/v) in the S9 mix.
- quality controls of S9: enzymatic activity
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
In both Trial I and Trial II, the following five concentrations of the Test Item were tested in triplicate plates along with the vehicle and positive controls.
0.00122, 0.00244, 0.00488, 0.0097656 and 0.01953125 mg/plate.

Justification: A slight reduction in the number of revertant colonies accompanied by a moderate inhibition of the background lawn growth was observed at 0.01953125 mg/plate, both in the presence (10% v/v S9 mix) and absence of metabolic activation compared to vehicle control data. No reduction in the number of revertant colonies or inhibition of the background lawn growth was observed at ≤ 0.097656 mg/plate, either in the presence (10% v/v S9 mix) or in the absence of metabolic activation when compared to the vehicle control data. Hence, considering the criteria that the highest test concentration should induce cytotoxicity determined by a decrease in the revertant colony count and/or diminution of the background lawn or precipitation formation in the final mixture under the actual test condition and evident to the unaided eye, 0.01953125 mg/plate was selected as the highest concentration of the Test Item for the main assay.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: Distilled water

- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test Item was found to be soluble in distilled water (50 mg/ml). Hence, distilled water was selected as the vehicle for the study.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
no
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Remarks:
distilled water
True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
9-aminoacridine
2-nitrofluorene
sodium azide
benzo(a)pyrene
mitomycin C
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Number of cultures per concentration: (triplicate)
- Number of independent experiments : Two

METHOD OF TREATMENT/ EXPOSURE:
- Cell density: Fresh bacterial cultures were prepared, which were in the late-log phase of growth at the time of use. The densities of the cultures were confirmed to be 1 to 2 ×109 bacteria/ml using a haemocytometer before the cultures were used in the test.
- Test substance added in medium; in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

METHODS FOR MEASUREMENT OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: background growth inhibition
Evaluation criteria:
The Test Item was deemed mutagenic if a biologically relevant increase in the mean number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA98, TA100 and TA102) or thrice (strains TA1535 and TA1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent control was observed.
A dose-dependent increase was considered biologically relevant if the threshold is was exceeded at more than one concentration.
A dose-dependent increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration was judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent experiment.
A dose-dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold indicated a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent experiment.
Statistics:
The mean number of revertant colonies and the standard deviation within the plates for each concentration were compared to the spontaneous reversion rates of the control. Microsoft Office Excel-based calculations were used for descriptive statistical analysis.

Additional information on results:
The results of Trial I (Plate incorporation assay) and Trial II (Preincubation assay) showed no significant increases in the mean number of revertant colonies of bacterial tester strains in the presence (10 % v/v S9) or absence of the metabolic activation system. Furthermore, no trend of an increased number of revertant colonies with increased dosing of the Test Item was observed. The vehicle and the strain-specific positive control values were within the lab historical control ranges, indicating that the test conditions were appropriate, and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.
Remarks on result:
other: non mutagenic

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Based on the results of the present study, it is concluded that N-Dodecylpyridinium Chloride [CAS No.: 104-74-5] is non-mutagenic as it does not induce (point) gene mutations by base-pair changes or frameshift in the histidine operon in any of the five tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA1537, TA1535, TA98, TA100 or TA102) neither in the presence nor in the absence of metabolic activation system.
Executive summary:

The mutagenicity of the test substnace, N-Dodecylpyridinium Chloride [CAS No.: 104-74-5] has been tested in Salmonella typhimurium tester strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538). The test was performed in two trials. Trial I was performed according to the plate incorporation method and both in the presence and absence of liver microsomal activation (S9 mix).Trial II was performed according to the preincubation method and both in the presence and absence of liver microsomal activation (S9 mix) The mammalian microsomal fraction (S9 mix) was prepared in-house from the combination of phenobarbitone and β-naphthoflavone-induced rat liver microsomal enzymes (S9 homogenate). The chemical was tested at concentrations 0.00122, 0.00244, 0.00488, 0.0097656 and 0.01953125 mg/plateboth in the presence (10 % v/v S9 mix) and absence of metabolic activation, along with the vehicle and positive controls. The maximal dose was selected based on the cytotoxicity observed in an initial dose range-finding study. The criteria used to evaluate a test were as follows: for a test chemical to be considered positive, it had to induce at least a doubling (TA98, TA100, and TA1535) and tripling (TA1537, TA1538) in the mean number of revertants per plate of at least one tester strain. This increase in the mean revertants per plate had to be accompanied by a dose-response to increasing concentrations of the test chemical. If a dose-response with a less than 3-fold increase on TA1537 was observed, the response had to be confirmed in a repeat experiment. The test substance N-Dodecylpyridinium Chloride [CAS No.: 104-74-5] failed to produce double- or triple-fold in his+revertant counts up to 0.01953125 mg/plate, either in the presence (10 % v/v S9 mix) or absence of metabolic activation when compared to the vehicle control data for both the experiment, that is trail I and trial II. The study was performed according to OECD 471 and considered to be reliable.(Klimisch 1)
