- METHOD OF APPLICATION: Initially the plate incorporation method was used. As independent repeat the preincubation modification (20 min. at 37°C) was performed.
For each strain and dose level, including the controls, three plates were used.
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
The toxicity of the substance was assessed by a gross appraisal of background growth on the plates for mutant determination. Moreover, a toxic effect of the substance was assumed when there was a marked and dose-dependent reduction in the mutant count per plate, compared to the solvent controls. - Evaluation criteria:
- A reproducible and dose-related increase in mutant counts of at least one strain is considered to be a positive result. For TA1535, TA100, TA1537 and TA98 this increase should be about twice that of solvent controls. For TA 102 an increase of about 100 mutants should be reached. Otherwise, the result is evaluated as negative. However, these criteria may be overruled by good scientific judgment.
In case of questionable results, investigations should continue, possibly with modifications, until a final evaluation is possible. - Species / strain:

- Additional information on results:
- None of the five strains used showed a dose-related and biologically relevant increase in mutant counts over those of the solvent controls in the plate incorporation test. This applied both to the tests with and without S9 mix and was confirmed by the results of the preincubation trials. The positive controls increased mutant counts to well over those of the solvent controls, and thus demonstrated the system's sensitivity and the activity of the S9 mix.
TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: Substance precipitation occurred at 5000 µg per plate.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
Doses of up to and including 5000 µg per plate did not produce bacteriotoxic effects in the plate incorporation method. The preincubation method showed the test item to produce strain-specific bacteriotoxic effects at the dose of 5000 µg per plate. - Executive summary:
A bacterial reverse mutation test (Ames test) was conducted according to OECD TG 471 to investigate the potential of the test substance to induce gene mutations. The assay was performed in two independent experiments, the initial plate incorporation and the subsequent preincubation test, both with and without S9 mix and the following tester strains: Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98, and TA 102. The doses applied were up to and including 5000 µg/plate (the content of the substance in the test item, which is approx. 70 % in approx. 30 % solvent, was considered).
Substance precipitation occurred at 5000 µg per plate. None of the five strains used showed a dose-related and biologically relevant increase in mutant counts over those of the solvent controls in the plate incorporation test. This applied both to the tests with and without S9 mix and was confirmed by the results of the preincubation trials.
The positive controls increased mutant counts to well over those of the solvent controls, and thus demonstrated the system's sensitivity and the activity of the S9 mix.
In conclusion, the test substance was considered to be non-mutagenic in the Ames test with and without S9 mix.
