Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); second test with metabolic activation: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 min (second test with metabolic activation)
- Exposure duration: 48-72 h

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: background bacterial lawn
Evaluation criteria:
The following criteria were used as an aid for determining a positive response:
- a reproducible and significant dose relationship
and/or
- a reproducible and significant increase (i.e. a doubling in the number of revertants for at least one of the tested strains when compared to that of the controls) for at least one of the doses

A test substance is considered as non-mutagenic in this test system if the above two criteria are not fully met.
Biological and statistical significances were considered during the evaluation.

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
controls were within historical range

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
slight to moderate cytotoxicity was observed in all strains at 5000 µg/plate without metabolic activation; no cytotoxic effects were seen with metabolic activation up to the limit dose

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
TFMEA did not induce mutant colonies over background. TFMEA was tested up to limit concentrations of 5000 µg/plate.
Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria according to OECD guideline 471, revised draft document of May 1994, S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 strains were exposed to TFMEA (99.94% a.i.) in DMSO at concentrations of 0, 312.5, 625, 1250, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate in the presence and absence of mammalian metabolic activation. The test was performed as plate incorporation assay; the second experiment with metabolic activation was performed as pre-incubation test with 60 minutes pre-incubation. TFMEA was tested up to limit concentrations (5000 µg/plate). Only slight cytotoxic effects were observed in the highest concentration without metabolic activation.

The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. 

There was no evidence of induced mutant colonies over background.
