Details on test system and experimental conditions:: METHOD OF APPLICATION: Experiment 1. in medium; in agar (plate incorporation) ; Experiment 2. in medium; in agar (pre-incubation)DURATION- Exposure duration: Experiment 1. All of the plates were incubated at 37 ± 3 ºC for approximately 48 hours and scored for the presence of revertant colonies using an automated colony counting system. The plates were viewed microscopically for evidence of thinning (toxicity). A number of manual counts were performed, predominantly due to colonies spreading, light background contamination and artefacts on the plates, thus distorting the actual plate count.Experiment 2. 0.1 mL of the appropriate bacterial strain culture, 0.5 mL of phosphate buffer OR S9-mix (as appropriate) and 0.1 mL of the test item formulation, vehicle or 0.1 mL of appropriate positive control were incubated at 37 ± 3 ºC for 20 minutes (with shaking) prior to addition of 2 mL of molten amino-acid supplemented media Subsequently, the procedure for incubation and duration was the same as in Experiment 1.NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:: There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al., 1989).5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out of historical range response (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)).A test item is considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.In instances of data prohibiting definitive judgement about test item activity are reported as equivocal.

Executive summary:: The study was performed to the requirements of OECD Guideline 471, EU Method B13/14, US EPA OCSPP 870.5100 and Japanese guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing under GLP, to evaluate the potential mutagenicity of the test substance in a bacterial reverse mutation assay using S.typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA- in both the presence and absence of S-9 mix. The test strains were treated with the test substance using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre incubation methods at up to eight dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). The dose range for Experiment 1 was predetermined and was 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate. The experiment was repeated on a separate day (pre-incubation method) using fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test item formulations. Eight test item dose levels were again selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both a minimum of four non-toxic dose levels and the toxic limit of the test item following the change in test methodology. The vehicle (dimethyl sulphoxide) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 μg/plate. There was no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level, either in the presence or absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix), in the first mutation test (plate incorporation method), although small reductions in revertant colony frequency were noted to several of the tester strains at the upper test item dose levels. These results were not indicative of toxicity sufficiently severe enough to prevent the test item being tested up to the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 μg/plate in the second mutation test. The test item did induce a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns and/or small reductions in revertant colony frequency to the majority of tester strains in the second mutation test (pre-incubation method) at 5000 μg/plate in both the presence and absence of metabolic activation (S9-mix). No test item precipitate was observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9-mix.There were no toxicologically significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation in Experiment 1 (plate incorporation method). Similarly, no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation in Experiment 2 (pre-incubation method). Small, statistically significant increases in revertant colony frequency were observed in the first mutation test at 1500 μg/plate (TA100) and 500 μg/plate (TA98) in the absence of S9-mix only. These increases were considered to be of no biological relevance because there was no evidence of a dose-response relationship or reproducibility. Furthermore, the individual revertant counts at the statistically significant dose levels were within the in-house historical untreated/vehicle control range for each tester strain and the maximum fold increase was only 1.9 times the concurrent vehicle controls. It was concluded that, under the conditions of this assay, the test substance gave a negative, i.e. non-mutagenic response in S.typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA- in the presence and absence of S-9 mix.
