Bacteriotoxicity was not reached. None of the 5 strains used showed a dose-related and biologically relevant increase in mutant counts over those of the negative controls neither in the presence nor in the absence of the metabolic activation system S9 -mix. The positive controls were functional. Therefore, Bayscript Blaukomponente was considered to be non--mutagenic without and with S9 -mix in the plate incorporation as well as in the preincubation modification of the Salmonella /microsome test.

the assay was performed in 2 independent experiments, using 2 parallel cultures each. The first main experiment was performed with and without liver microsomal activation and a treatment period of 4 hours. The second experiment was performed with a treatment time of 4 hours with and 24 hours without metabolic activation
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is classified as positive if it induces either a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency or a reproducible and positive response at one of the test points.
A test item producing neither a concentration-related increase of the mutant frequency nor a reproducible positive response at any of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
Statistics:
A linear regression (least squares) was performed to assess a possible dose dependent increase of mutant frequencies. The number of mutant colonies obtained for the groups treated with the test item were compared to the solvent control groups. A trend is judged as significant whenever the p-value (probability value) is below 0.05.

Executive summary:

The study was performed to investigate the potential of Bayscript Blaukomponente to induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus in V79 cells of the Chinese hamster according to OECD TG 476. The assay was performed in two independent experiments, using two parallel cultures each. The first main experiment was performed with and without liver microsomal activation and a treatment period of 4 hours. The second experiment was performed with a treatment time of 4 hours with and 24 hours without metabolic activation. No precipitation of the test item at the end of treatment was noted. Cytotoxicity was observed in experiment I without S9-mix: at 10650 µg/ml and above; with S9-mix: at 7100 µg/ml and above; in experiment II at 7100 µg/ml and above with and without S9-mix

No substantial and reproducible dose dependent increase of the mutation frequency was observed in both main experiments.

Appropriate reference mutagens, used as positive controls, induced a distinct increase in mutant colonies and thus, showed the sensitivity of the test system and the activity of the metabolic activation system.

In conclusion it can be stated that under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus in V79 cells. Therefore, Byscript Blaukomponente is considered to be non-mutagenic in this HPRT assay.

Additional information

Ames test

Bayscript Blaukomponente was initially investigated in the Ames test according to OECD TG 471 and GLP using the Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA100, TA102, TA1535, TA1537 and concentrations up to and including 5000 µg/plate. Bacteriotoxicity was not reached. None of the 5 strains used showed a dose-related and biologically relevant increase in mutant counts over those of the negative controls either in the presence nor in the absence of the metabolic activation system S9-mix. The positive controls were functional.

Due to these results Bayscript Blaukomponente has to be regarded as non-mutagenic in this Ames test.

HPRT test

The study was performed to investigate the potential of Bayscript Blaukomponente to induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus in V79 cells of the Chinese hamster according to OECD TG 476. The assay was performed in two independent experiments, using two parallel cultures each. The first main experiment was performed with and without liver microsomal activation and a treatment period of 4 hours. The second experiment was performed with a treatment time of 4 hours with and 24 hours without metabolic activation. No precipitation of the test item at the end of treatment was noted. Cytotoxicity was observed in experiment I without S9-mix: at 10650 µg/ml and above; with S9-mix: at 7100 µg/ml and above; in experiment II at 7100 µg/ml and above with and without S9-mix

No substantial and reproducible dose dependent increase of the mutation frequency was observed in both main experiments.

Appropriate reference mutagens, used as positive controls, induced a distinct increase in mutant colonies and thus, showed the sensitivity of the test system and the activity of the metabolic activation system.

In conclusion it can be stated that under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations at the HPRT locus in V79 cells. Therefore, Bayscript Blaukomponente is considered to be non-mutagenic in this HPRT assay.

MNT in vitro

Bayscript Blaukomponente was examined for mutagenic activity in the micronucleus test in vitro according to OECD TG 487 in the presence and in the absence of a metabolic activation system. Cytotoxic effects were observed (4 hour treatment, with S9-mix: 500 µg/ml and above; 4-hour treatment, without S9-Mix: 1000 µg/ml and above; 24 hour treatment, without S9-mix: 25 µg/ml and above). No precipitation was observed. No biologically relevant increase in the frequencies of micronucleus containing V79 cells treated with the test item in the absence (4 hours or 24 hours treatment) or in the presence of S9 mix were seen.

Evaluation of the data does not indicate that Bayscript Blaukomponente is a mutagen in the micronucleus test in vitro in the absence or presence of metabolic activation.
