Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (CAESAR) version 2.1.13 predicts the substance is NON-MUTAGENIC.

Executive summary:

The prediction of Mutagenicity (Ames test) model (CAESAR;version 2.1.13) on the target compound may be considered adequate. The main reason for the low ADI value is that the target compounds has a fragment defined by the SMILES: FC=C that is an uncommon fragment not present in the compounds of the training set of the model.

Despite the Applicability Domain tool within VEGA identifies some issues to be verified, using a weight of evidence approach combining several VEGA models and read-across, it allows to support a non mutagenic assessment for the target compound. Indeed, there is agreement between the prediction and all similar compounds containing Fluorine atoms, which are experimentally non mutagenic.
