Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: direct plate incorporation method and the preincubation method.

DURATION
- Preincubation period: the plate incorporation and pre-incubation test was used, in which plates were incubated for approx. 72 hours.
- Exposure duration: approx 72 hours.
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): NA
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): NA
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells): NA

SELECTION AGENT (mutation assays):

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: triplicate replications were used in the preliminary toxicity test and main tests.

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: NA

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: NA

OTHER EXAMINATIONS:
- Determination of polyploidy: NA
- Determination of endoreplication: NA
- Other: NA

Evaluation criteria:
Validity criteria:
- negative/positive control data were consistent with historical control data
- positive control showed marked increase over the concurrent negative control
- evaluation was not restricted by loss of plates (e.g. through contamination)

Mutagenic activity:
- dose-related increases in number of revertant colonies at one or more test points
- increases are reproducible between replicate plates
- increases are more than twice the corresponding negative control

Weak mutagenicity:
- dose-related increases in number of revertant colonies at one or more test points
- increases are reproducible between replicate plates
- increase are between 1.5 and 2 fold greater than the negative control

Statistics:
The numbers of revertant colonies at each treatment test point were compared to the corresponding negative control values using the Analysis of
Variance test. When this test showed statistical significanct differences in the data. Dunnett's test was used to determine the statistical significance of increases and decreases in the number of revertant colonies for each set of triplicate plates.

Generally, TS-ED 532 was not toxic to bacteria, although it caused slight toxicity (small reductions in the numbers of revertant colonies) at the higher dose level in strains TA 100 and TA 1535 in a few cases. No biologically or statistically increases in the numbers of revertant colonies, compared to the negative control values, were observed in any tester strain after treatment with TS-ED 532 at any dose level, neither in the absence nor presence of S-9 mix.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative with metabolic activation
negative without metabolic activation

TS-ED 532 was non-mutagenic in the Ames test using S. typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA102 with and without metabolic activation.
Executive summary:

The mutagenicity of TS-ED 532 was tested in the Ames test using S. typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA102 in accordance with OECD 471. The test was conducted in duplicate, once using the direct plate incorporation method and once using the preincubation method. No substantial increases in revertant colony numbers over control counts were obtained with any of the tester strains following exposure to TS-ED 532 at any concentration tested neither in the presence nor in the absence of S9 mix. All of the positive controls used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, confirming the activity of the S9 mix, and the sensitivity of the tester strains.

In conclusion, TS-ED 532 was found to be non-mutagenic in the Ames test using S. typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and TA102 with and without metabolic activation.
