OTHER: No data available
Evaluation criteria:
An individual trial was judged mutagenic (+) if a dose-related increase over the corresponding solvent control was seen, and it was judged weakly mutagenic C+W) if a low-level dose response was seen. A trial was considered questionable (?) if a dose-related increase was judged insufficiently high to justify a call of "+W," if only a single dose was elevated over the control, or if a non-dose-related increase was seen.

The chemical was judged to be mutagenic (+), or weakly mutagenic (+W), if it produced a reproducible, dose-related increase in his+ revertants over the corresponding solvent controls in replicate trials.

It chemical was considered to be questionable (?) if a reproducible increase of his+ revertants did not meet the criteria for either a " + " or " + W," or if only single doses produced an increase in his+ revertants in repeat trials.
Statistics:
No data

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: The chemical was tested initially in a toxicity assay to determine the appropriate dose range. The toxicity assay was performed by using TA100 or the system developed by Waleh et al. Toxic concentrations were those at which a decrease in the number of his+ colonies was seen or at which there was a clearing in the density of the background lawn

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
N-Methyldiethanolamine failed to induce mutation in the S. typhimurium tester strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 and hence is negative for mutation in vitro.
Executive summary:

Salmonella/microsome test in the absence of exogenous metabolic activation and in the presence of liver S-9 from Aroclor-induced male Sprague-Dawley rats and Syrian hamsters was performed to evaluate the mutagenic nature of the test compound N-Methyldiethanolamine.

 

The test compound was used at a dosage level of 0, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 3333.0, 10000 µg/plate in the preincubation assay of 48 hrs.

 

N-Methyldiethanolaminefailed to induce mutation in theS. typhimuriumtester strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100 and hence is negative for mutation in vitro.
