Additional information on results:

In the absence of metabolic activation, an increase in revertant colonies was observed in the tester strains TA1535 and TA100. In the presence of metabolic activation, an increase in revertant colonies was observed in the tester strain TA1535. All other bacterial strains showed no increase in revertant colonies in the two independent experiments.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Based on the results of the study, the test article is positive in the Ames assay.

Executive summary:

The potential for the test article to induce reverse mutations at the histidine locus in several strains of Salmonella typhimurium(S. typhimurium; TA98, TA100, TA1535, and TA1537), and at the tryptophan locus of Escherichia coli (E. coli) strain WP2uvrA in the presence or absence of an exogenous mammalian metabolic activation system (S9) was evaluated. The test was performed in two independent experiments, at first a direct plate assay was performed and secondly a pre-incubation assay. The study was conducted according to OECD 471 and was conducted in compliance with OECD GLP. The test item was dissolved in dimethyl sulfoxide. In the dose-range finding study, the test item was initially tested up to concentrations of 5000 μg/plate in the strains TA100 and WP2uvrA in the direct plate assay. MTDID 49220 did not precipitate on the plates at this dose level. In the first mutation experiment, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 5000 μg/plate in the strains TA1535, TA1537 and TA98. MTDID 49220 did not precipitate on the plates at this dose level. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations tested and no biologically relevant decrease in the number of revertants was observed. In tester strain TA1535, the test item induced up to 15- and 12-fold dose related increases in the number of revertant colonies compared to the concurrent vehicle control in the absence and presence of S9-mix, respectively. In the second mutation experiment, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 5000 μg/plate in the tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2uvrA in the pre-incubation assay. MTDID 49220 did not precipitate on the plates at this dose level. Cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants, reduction of the bacterial background lawn and/or the presence of microcolonies, was observed in all tester strains in the absence and presence of S9-mix. In the absence of S9-mix, the test item induced dose-related increases in the number of revertant colonies compared to the solvent control in two tester strains (TA1535 and TA100). The increases observed in the tester strains TA1535 and TA100 were above the laboratory historical control data range and were up to 7.4- and 4.4-fold the concurrent controls, respectively. No increases were observed in the presence of S9-mix. The negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory historical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly. In the absence of S9-mix, the test item induced dose related increases in the number of revertant colonies in the tester strains TA1535 and TA100. The increases observed in tester strain TA1535 were above the laboratory historical control data range, were up to 15-fold the concurrent vehicle control and were reproducible in both the direct plate assay and the pre-incubation assay. The increases observed in tester strain TA100 were above the laboratory historical control data range and were up to 4.4-fold the concurrent vehicle control, but were only observed in the pre-incubation assay. Based on the results of the study, the test article is positive in the Ames assay.
