Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in medium; in agar (plate incorporation)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: thinning of the microcolony lawn

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation)

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: main test was performed in triplicates

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: thinning of the microcolony lawn

Rationale for test conditions:

The study was concluded to be negative without conducting a confirmatory (independent repeat) assay because the results were clearly negative; hence, no further testing was warranted.

Evaluation criteria:

For each replicate plating, the mean and standard deviation of the number of revertants per plate were calculated and are reported.
For the test substance to be evaluated positive, it must cause a dose-related increase in the mean revertants per plate of at least one tester strain over a minimum of two consecutive increasing concentrations of test substance as specified below:

Data sets were judged positive if the increase in mean revertants at the peak of the dose-response was equal to or greater than 3.0-times (Strains TA1535 and TA1537) respectively equal to or greater than 2.0-times (Strains TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA) the mean vehicle control value and above the corresponding acceptable vehicle control range.

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Precipitation: no precipitation observed up to the limit dose
- Other confounding effects: no
- Sterility Results: No contaminant colonies were observed on the sterility plates for the vehicle control, the test substance dilutions or the S9 and Sham mixes.


RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES:
A range-finding study was conducted in all tester strains. Toxicity was observed beginning at 100, 333, 667, 1000, and 3333 µg per plate with all conditions.

Main test:
Toxicity was observed beginning at 150, 333, 1500, and 3000 µg per plate with all conditions except tester strain TA1535 in the presence of S9 activation
No precipitate was observed.

TA1535:
In the retest of mutagenicity assay, the dose levels tested were 5.00, 15.0, 50.0, 150, 500, 1500, 3000, and 5000 µg per plate with tester strain TA1535 in the presence of S9 activation. No precipitate was observed. Toxicity was observed beginning at 1500 µg per plate. No positive mutagenic responses were observed for the test substance.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Under the conditions of this study, CGE-PMDA adduct did not cause a positive mutagenic response with any of the tester strains in either the presence or absence of Aroclor induced rat liver S9. All criteria for a valid study were met as described in the protocol.

Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria according to OECD guideline 471 (adopted 21 July 1997), Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrAwere exposed to CGE-PMDA adduct in ethanol in concentrations of 0 (control), 5.00, 15.0, 50.0, 150, 500, 1500 and 3000 µg per plate (tester strains TA98, TA1537 and WP2 uvrA in the presence and absence of S9 activation, and TA100 in the presence of S9 activation) and 1.50, 5.00, 15.0, 50.0, 150, 333 and 500 µg per plate (tester strains TA100 in the absence of S9 activation, and TA1535 in the presence and absence of S9 activation). In the retest of mutagenicity assay, the dose levels tested were 5.00, 15.0, 50.0, 150, 500, 1500, 3000, and 5000 µg per plate with tester strain TA1535 in the presence of S9 activation.The assay was performed using the plate incorporation method.

 

The test substance was tested up to cytotoxic concentrations.Toxicity was observed beginning at 150, 333, 1500 and 3000 µg per plate with all conditions except tester strain TA1535 in the presence of S9 activation. In order to achieve the protocol criteria for top dose or toxicity, the test condition TA1535 in the presence of S9 activation was repeated.Toxicity was then observed beginning at 1500 µg per plate.Precipitation was not observed. The positive controls induced the appropriate responses in the corresponding strains. The mean numbers of revertant colonies in the negative controls were within the ranges of the historical control data.

 

There was no evidence of an increase in the number of revertant colonies that was equal to or greater than 3.0-times the mean vehicle control value in strains TA1535 and TA 1537 or exceeded twice the background in the tester strains TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA examined at the peak of the dose-response. Therefore, test substance was considered to be non-genotoxic (nonmutagenic) in Salmonella tester strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 andEscherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA under the conditions employed (plate incorporation assay).

 

Under the conditions of the study, the test substance was negative for mutagenic potential.
