Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The given test chemical did not induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
Executive summary:

Gene mutation toxicity study was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of the test chemical by Ames assay in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537, and TA 1538. Five dose levels (50, 150, 500, 1500, and 5000 μg/plate) were studied, in triplicate, with and without addition of S9 liver homogenate metabolic activation. Positive controls included N-ethyl-N-nitro-Nnitroguanidine for TA100 and TA1535; 9-aminoacridine for TA1537; 4-nitro-o-phenylenediamine for TA1538, and 4-nitroquinoline-1-oxide for TA98. A vehicle control was used, as well as a positive control with 2-aminoanthracene, which is mutagenic only with metabolic activation. The increase in the mutation frequency in any of the strains tested at any of the concentrations tested considered for the mutagenic potential of the test chemical. Test chemical was not toxic to any of the strains tested at any of the concentrations tested. It produced no significant increase in the mutation frequency in any of the strains tested at any of the concentrations tested. All of the positive controls produced marked increases in the mutation frequency, and the S9 liver homogenate metabolic activation was confirmed active with the additional positive control.

Therefore, the given test chemical did not induce mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system and hence is not likely to classify as a gene mutant in vitro.
