RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: To select the dose range for the mutagenesis assay, the test chemicals were checked for toxicity to TA100 up to a concentration of 10 mg/plate or the limit of solubility, both in the presence and absence of S-9 mix. One or more parameters were used as an indication of toxicity: viability on complete medium (EGG) and reduced numbers of revertant colonies per plate and/or thinning or absence of the bacterial lawn (CWR, EGG, SRI). If toxicity was not apparent in the preliminary toxicity determination, the highest dose tested was 10 mg/plate; otherwise the upper limit of solubility was used. If toxicity was observed, the doses of test chemical were chosen so that the high dose exhibited some degree of toxicity.

Mutagenic responses of Salmonella tester strains TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA98 (mean ± SEM) to test chemicals.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

The test chemical is not mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA98 in the preincubation assay performed with and without S9 metabolic activation system and hence does not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.

Executive summary:

The Salmonella/mammalian microsome test was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of test chemical in vitro.

 

Preincubation assay was performed using Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA98 with and without S9 metabolic activation system. To select the dose range for the mutagenesis assay, the test chemicals were checked for toxicity to TA100 up to a concentration of 10 mg/plate or the limit of solubility, both in the presence and absence of S-9 mix.

 

The doses thus selected were 0, 100, 333, 1000, 3333, 5450 µg/plate. Appropriate positive controls were also incorporated in the study.

The test chemical is not mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA98 in the preincubation assay performed with and without S9 metabolic activation system and hence does not classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
