Additional information on results:

TEST-SPECIFIC CONFOUNDING FACTORS
- Effects of pH: not applicable
- Effects of osmolality: not applicable
- Evaporation from medium: the test material is not classified as a VOC
- Water solubility: the test material was solubilised in ethanol to improve solubility
- Precipitation: none observed
- Other confounding effects: none

RANGE-FINDING/SCREENING STUDIES: performed in the S.typhimurium TA 100 strain by the direct incorporation procedure. A decrease in the number of revertant colonies >50% compared to solvent reference was observed. The lowest cytotoxic concentration was 5 mg/plate, used as the highest concentration in the test item formulation

COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA: All tester strain cultures exhibit a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate within the vehicle and positive controls ranges of the laboratory.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

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

PI 2080 is not mutagenic with and without metabolic activation in S. thyphimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 and E. coli WP2 (pKM101).

Executive summary:

In a reverse gene mutation assay performed according to the OECD test guideline No. 471 and in compliance with GLP, S. typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 102 and TA 1535 and E. coli WP2(pKM101) were exposed to PI 2080 diluted in ethanol both in the presence and absence of metabolic activation system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors) using the plate incorporation method. In a preliminary toxicity assay, citotoxicity was assessed between 0.06 and 5 mg/plate on TA100. The lowest cytotoxic concentration was 5 mg/plate, used as the highest concentration in the test item formulation for the two main experiments. In the second experiment, preincubation was added to the experimental procedure.

The vehicle (ethanol) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation.

No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, at any dose level either with or without metabolic activation.

 

In these experimental conditions, PI 2080 was not mutagenic with and without metabolic activation in S. thyphimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 and E. coli WP2(pKM101).
