Description of key information

The test item was tested in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay with four histidine-requiring strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TAI535, TA1537, TA100 and TA98) and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay with a tryptophan-requiring strain of Escherichia coli (WPuvrA). The test was performed in two independent experiments in the presence and absence of S9-mix (rat liver S9-mix induced by induced by Aroclor 1254).

Batch 0008624816 of the test item was a colourless liquid. The test item was dissolved in acetone.

In the first mutation assay, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 5000 µg/plate in the absence and presence of 5% (v/v) S9-mix. The test item precipitated on the plates at dose levels of 512 µg/plate and upwards. Cytotoxicity, as evidenced by a decrease in the number of revertants, was only observed in tester strain TA1537 in the absence of S9-mix (first mutation assay) at the highest tested concentration.

In the second mutation assay, the test item was tested up to concentrations of 5000 µg/plate in the absence and presence of 10% (v/v) S9-mix. The test item precipitated on the plates at dose levels of 1600 and 5000 µg/plate. The bacterial background lawn was not reduced at any of the concentrations tested and no decrease in the number of revertants was observed.

The test item did not induce a significant dose-related increase in the number of revertant (His+) colonies in each of the four tester strains (TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100) and in the number of revertant (Trp+) colonies in tester.strain WPuvrA both in the absence and presence of S9-metabolic activation. These results were confirmed in the second mutation experiment.

In this study, the negative and strain-specific positive control values were within the laboratory histor.ical control data ranges indicating that the test conditions were adequate and that the metabolic activation system functioned properly.

Based on the results of this study it is concluded that the test item is not mutagenic in the Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay and in the Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.

Remarks:

Details on test system and experimental conditions:

The test item was tested both in the absence and presence ofS9-mix in each strain, in two independent experiments.
The vehicle control and relevant positive controls were concurrently tested in each strain in the presence and absence of S9-mix.
Top agar in top agar tubes was melted by heating to 45 ± 2°C. The following solutions were successively added to 3 ml molten top agar: 0.1 ml of a fresh bacterial culture (l O'cells/ml) of one of the tester strains, 0.05 ml ofa dilution of the test item in acetone, and either 0.5 ml S9mix (in case of activation assays) or 0.5 ml 0.1 M phosphate buffer (in case of non-activation assays). The ingredients were mixed on a Vortex and the content of the top agar tube was poured onto a selective agar plate. After solidification of the top agar, the plates were inverted and incubated in the dark at 37.0 ± 1.0 °C for 48 h. After this period revertant colonies (histidine independent for Salmonella typhimurium bacteria and tryptophan independent for Escherichia coli) were counted.
The revertant colonies were counted automatically with the Sorcerer Colony Counter. Plates with sufficient test item precipitate to interfere with automated colony counting were counted manually. Evidence of test item precipitate on the plates and the 'condition of the bacterial background lawn were evaluated when considered necessary, macroscopically and/or microscopically by using a dissecting microscope.

Rationale for test conditions:

recommended procedures as liad out in the guidelines

Evaluation criteria:

A Salmonella typhimurium reverse Mutation assay and/or Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay is considered acceptable if it meets the following criteria:
a) The vehicle control and positive control plates from each tester strain (with or without S9mix) must exhibit a characteristic number of revertant colonies when compared against relevant historical control data generated atCharles River Den Bosch.
b) The selected dose range should include a clearly toxic concentration or should exhibit limited solubility as demonstrated by the preliminary toxicity range-finding test or should extend to 5 mglplate.
c) No more than 5% of the plates are lost through contamination or some other unforeseen event. If the results are considered invalid due to contamination, the experiment will be repeated.
A test item is considered negative (not mutagenic) in the test if:
a) The total number of revertants in tester strain TA 1 00 or WP2uvrA is not greater than two
(2) times the concurrent vehicle control, and the total number of revertants in tester strains TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA98 is not greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) The negative response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
A test item is considered positive (mutagenic) in the test if:
a) • The total number of revertants in tester strain TA 1 00 or WP2uvrA is greater than two (2) times the concurrent control, or the total number of revertants in tester strains TA 1535, TA 1537 or TA98 is greater than three (3) times the concurrent vehicle control.
b) In case a positive response will be repeated, the positive response should be reproducible in at least one independently repeated experiment.
