Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline followed
Principles of method if other than guideline:
Testing was performed as reported by Ames et aL (1975) with modifications as listed below and described in greater detail by Haworth et aL (1983). Sodium fluoride, sent to the laboratory coded from Radian Corporation (Austin, TX), was incubated with the Salmonella typhimurium tester strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537) either in buffer or S9 mix (metabolic activation enzymes and cofactors from Aroclor 1254- induced male Sprague-Dawley rat or Syrian hamster liver) for 20 minutes at 37° C prior lo the addition of soft agar supplemented with 1-histidine and d-biolin, and subsequent plating on minimal glucose agar plates. Incubation continued for an additional 48 hours. Each lest consisted of replicate plates of concurrent positive and negative controls and of at least five doses of lest chemical. High dose was limited to 10 mg/plate. All trials were repeated.
A positive response was defined as a reproducible, dose-related increase in histidine-independent (revertant) colonies in any one strain/activation combination. An equivocal response was defined as an increase inrevertants that was not dose related, not reproducible, or of insufficient magnitude to support a determination of mutagenicity. A negative response was obtained when no increase in revertant colonies was observed following chemical treatment.

Test material

Constituent 1
Reference substance name:
7681-94-4
IUPAC Name:
7681-94-4
Constituent 2
Reference substance name:
Sodium fluoride
EC Number:
231-667-8
EC Name:
Sodium fluoride
Cas Number:
7681-49-4
IUPAC Name:
sodium fluoride
Details on test material:
Sodium fluoride (CAS 7681-94-4), obtained from Sigma Chemical Co., MO, USA, Lot no. 109F0102. No trace element impurities were detected in the sample. Sodium fluoride (NaF) was the test substance, and the authors were specifically looking at the effects of fluoride. The test substance readily dissociates in aqueous conditions producing fluoride ions.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Testing was performed as reported by Ames et aL (1975) with modifications as listed below and described
in greater detail by Haworth et aL (1983). Sodium fluoride, sent to the laboratory coded from Radian
Corporation (Austin, TX), was incubated with the Salmonella typhimurium tester strains (TA98, TA100,
TA1535, TA1537) eilher in buffer or S9 mix (metabolic activation enzymes and cofactors from Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rat or Syrian hamster liver) for 20 minutes at 37° C prior lo the addition of soft agar supplemented with 1-histidine and d-biolin, and subsequent plating on minimal glucose agar plates.Incubation continued for an additional 48 hours. Each lest consisted of replicate plates of concurrent positive and negative controls and of al least five
doses of lest chemical. High dose was limited to 10 mg/plate. All trials were repeated.
Evaluation criteria:
positive response was defined as a reproducible, dose-related increase in histidine-independent (revertant)
colonies in any one strain/activation combination. An equivocal response was defined as an increase in revertants that was not dose related, not reproducible, or of insufficient magnitude to support a
determination of mutagenicity. A negative response was obtained when no increase in revertant colonies
was observed following chemical treatment.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Sodium fluoride was negative for
gene mutation induction in Salmonella typhimurium
strains TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA98 with and
Soclium Fluoride, NTP TR 393
without S9.
Executive summary:

Sodium Fuoride did not induce gene mutations in Salmonella typhimurium when tested with a pre incubation

protocol at doses of 100 to 10,000 µg/plate in strains TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA98; all strains were

tested with and without Aroclor 1254-induced male Sprague-Dawley rat or Syrian hamster liver S9 (Hawonh

et aL, 1983).
