Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):
For testing, deep-frozen (-700C to -800C) bacterial cultures (Salmonella typhimurium TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and E. coli WP2 uvrA) are thawed at room temperature, and 0.1 ml of this bacterial suspension is inoculated in nutrient broth solution (8 g Difco nutrient broth + 5 g NaCI/Iiter) and incubated in the shaking water bath at 370C for about 10 - 12 hours. As a rule, a germ density of 10^9 bacteria/mI is reached.
These cultures grown overnight are kept in iced water from the beginning of the experiment until the end in order to prevent further growth.
The use of the strains mentioned is in accordance with the current scientific recommendations for the conduct of this assay.
The Salmonella strains were obtained from KNOLL Aktiengesellschaft on October 30,
1989. The Escherichia coli strain was obtained from Merck on September 9,1991.

The Salmonella strains are checked for the following characteristics at regular intervals
deep rough character (rfa); UV sensitivity (ta, uvrB); ampicillin resistance (R factor plasmid).
E. coli WP2 uvrA is checked for UV sensitivity.
Histidine and tryptophan auxotrophy is automatically checked in each experiment via the spontaneous rate.

Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
not specified
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Untreated negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
A slight decrease in the number of revertants was occasionally observed depending on the strain and test conditions from about 500 ug - 2,500 ug/plate onward. Test substance precipitatian was found from about 500 pg/plate onward.

According to the results of the present study, the test substance did not lead to an increase in the number of revertant colonies either without S-9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system in two experiments carried out independently of each other (Ames standard plate test and Prival preincubation assay).
Remarks on result:
other: all strains/cell types tested
Remarks:
Migrated from field 'Test system'.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Under the experimental conditions the substance did not show any potential to be a mutagenic agent.
Executive summary:

The substance was tested for mutagenicity potential following OECD 471 (Ames test and Prival modification). Salmonella T. strains ( TA1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98) and E. Coli strain (WP2 uvrA) were chosen and tested with and without S9 mix (rat and hamster livers). Negative and positive control were concurrent during the experiment. Under the experimental conditions the substance did not show any potetial to be a mutagenic agent.
