Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

Under these experimental conditions, the test item Reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda did not show any mutagenic activity in the bacterial reverse mutation test with Salmonella typhimurium.
Executive summary:

This study was performed to investigate the potential of the test item, Reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda, to induce reverse mutation in Salmonella typhimurium. The test item was tested in two independent experiments, with and without a metabolic activation system, the S9 mix, prepared from a liver post‑mitochondrial fraction (S9 fraction) of rats induced with Aroclor 1254. The first experiment was performed according to the direct plate incorporation method and the second was performed according to the pre-incubation method (20 minutes). 

Four strains of bacteria Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 were used. Each strain was exposed to dose-levels of the test item. The selected dose-levels were: 60, 120, 100, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, 2500, 5000, 7500 µg/plate in the first test and 20, 100, 500, 1000, 2000 µg/plate in the second test. The number of mutations were scored.

A bacteriotoxic effect was observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 1000 µg – 2500 µg/plate onward. An increase in the number of his revertants was not observed both in the standard plate test and in the pre-incubation test either without S-9 mix or after the addition of the metabolizing system.

In conclusion, the test item did not show any mutagenic activity in the bacterial reverse mutation test with Salmonella typhimurium, in the absence or in the presence of a rat metabolising system therefore Reaction product of naphthalene, butanol, sulfonated and neutralized by caustic soda is not classified according to Annex VI of the Directive 67/548/CEE and according to EU Regulation 1272/2008 (CLP).
