Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Methyl Isonicotinate (2459-09-8) was evaluated for its mutagenic potential in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1537, TA2637, TA98 and TA100. The test result was considered to be negative for Bacterial reverse mutation assay.
Executive summary:

In Vitro genetic toxicity study for Methyl Isonicotinate was assessed for its possible mutagenic potential. For this purpose Bacterial reverse mutation assay was performed in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1537, TA2637, TA98, TA97a and TA100. Plate incorporation method was used. The examination with TA97a was unsuccessful because bacteria did not grow on Tris minimal agar.No mutagenic effects were observed in all other strain.. Therefore Methyl Isonicotinate was considered to non mutagenic in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1537, TA2637, TA98 and TA100. Hence the substance cannot be classified as gene mutant in vitro.
