Method

Species / strain

Species / strain 1

Species / strain / cell type:

S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100

Species / strain 2

Species / strain / cell type:

E. coli WP2 uvr A

Metabolic activation:

with and without

Metabolic activation system:

Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver S-9 mix

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:

0, 20, 100, 500, 2500, and 5000 µg/plate (Standard Plate Test)
0, 4, 20, 100, 500, and 2500 µg/plate (Preincubation Test)

Vehicle / solvent:

- Vehicle/solvent used: Acetone
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the limited solubility of the test substance in water, acetone was selected as the vehicle, which had been demonstrated to be suitable in bacterial reverse mutation tests and for which historical contral data are available.

sterility control

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:

yes

True negative controls:

no

Positive controls:

yes

Positive control substance:

4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide

9-aminoacridine

other: 2-aminoanthracene, 4-nitro-o-phenylendiamine, N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine

Remarks:

with metabolic activation: 2-aminoanthracene (all strains); without metabolic activation: N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (TA 1535, TA 100), 4-nitro-o-phenylendiamine (TA 98), 9-aminoacridine (TA 1537) and 4-nitroquinoline-N-oxide (E Coli WP2 uvrA)

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION:
- 1st Experiment (standard plate test with and without S-9 mix)
- 2nd Experiment: (preincubation test with and without S-9 mix)

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 20 min (preincubation test only)
- Exposure duration: 48 - 72 hours

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY: decrease in the number of revertants, reduced his or trp background growth and reduction in the titer.

Evaluation criteria:

Generally, the experiment is to be considered valid if the following criteria are met:
- The number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the normal range of the historleal control data for each tester strain.
- The sterility controls revealed no indleation of bacterial contamination.
- The positive control articles both with and without S-9 mix induced a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical control data.
- The titer of viable bacteria was >1E9/mL.

The test chemical is considered positive in this assay if a dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.

A test substance is generally considered nonmutagenic in this test if the number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in two experiments carried out independently of each other.

Additional information on results:

- A very weak bacteriotoxic effect (slight decrease in the number of revertants, slight reduction in the titer) was occasionally observed depending an the strain and test conditions at >2500 µg/plate.
- Precpitation of the test substance was found from about 500 µg/plate onward.
