- Executive summary:
In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay [MLA; EF20382], mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells cultured in vitro were exposed to the test item (92.4%) in water at concentrations of 0, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1 µg/mL for 3 hours with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone -induced rat liver S9 metabolic activation and 3 and 24 hrs without metabolic activation.
There was no cytotoxicity noted but the test item was assayed up to precipitating concentrations. The positive and negative controls induced the appropriate response. Neither increases exceeding the global evaluation factor (GEF, 126 × 10−6) in the total colony mutant frequency (T-MF) values of the test article groups as compared to the T-MF values in the negative control group nor dose-dependent increases were noted in any of the treatment methods.

STUDY RESULTS
- Concurrent vehicle negative and positive control data: There was no increase in the number of revertant colonies for each strain compared to the negative controls, with or without metabolic activation. The positive controls of each strain showed marked increase in the number of revertant colonies compared to that of the corresponding negative control of each strain (Mutagenicity test 1 & 2).

- Executive summary:
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria (USA-R-20053), strains of S. typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA1535, TA1537 and E. coli WP2uvrA were exposed to the test item (92.4%) in acetone at concentrations of 9.77 -313 µg/plate ± S9 in experiment 1 and 2. Both experiments were carried out via the pre-incubation method (20 mins at 37 °C) and metabolic activation was phenobarbital & 5,6-benzoflavone-induced rat liver S9.
In mutagenicity test 1 and 2, no cytotoxicity were observed , but precipitations of the test item were observed at 156 µg/plate to above of ± S9 mix for all strains.
The positive controls of each strain showed a marked increase in the number of revertant colonies compared to that of the corresponding negative control of each strain. There was no increase in the number of revertant colonies for each strain compared to the negative controls in test-item treated strains, with or without metabolic activation, in either experiment. Under the conditions of this study, the test item is considered non-mutagenic.

Additional information
Gene mutation (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay/Ames test):
There is one gene mutation study (Bacterial Reverse Mutation Assay/Ames test) with the test item available.
In a reverse gene mutation assay in bacteria ( Bacterial reverse mutation test, OECD471/GLP), strains of S. typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA1535, TA1537 and E. coli WP2uvrA were exposed to the test item (92.4%) in acetone at concentrations of 9.77 -313 µg/plate ± S9 in experiment 1 and 2. Both experiments were carried out via the pre-incubation method (20 mins at 37 °C) and metabolic activation was phenobarbital & 5,6-benzoflavone-induced rat liver S9.
In mutagenicity test 1 and 2, no cytotoxicity were observed , but precipitations of the test item were observed at 156 µg/plate to above of ± S9 mix for all strains.
The positive controls of each strain showed a marked increase in the number of revertant colonies compared to that of the corresponding negative control of each strain. There was no increase in the number of revertant colonies for each strain compared to the negative controls in test-item treated strains, with or without metabolic activation, in either experiment. Under the conditions of this study, the test item is considered non-mutagenic.
In vitro cytogenicity (chromosome aberration) study in mammalian cells
In an in vitro cytogenicity (chromosome aberration) study in mammalian cells (OECD 473/GLP), Chinese hamster lung fibroblasts (CHL/IU) cells were exposed to the test item in 0.5% w/v methylcellulose (MC) solution at concentrations of 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300, 350, 400 μg/mL (6 hrs) and 15, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100 μg/mL (24 hrs) without Phenobarbital/ 5,6-benzo flavone-induced rat liver S9 metabolic activation and 100, 200, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900 μg/mL (6 hrs) with metabolic activation.
The test item was tested up to cytotoxic levels. Positive controls induced the appropriate response. The test material did not induce any statistically significant increases in the frequency of cells with structural or numerical aberrations in the presence or absence of metabolic activation.
Gene mutation(Mouse Lymphoma TK Assay)
In a mammalian cell gene mutation assay [MLA; OECD 490/GLP], mouse lymphoma L5178Y cells cultured in vitro were exposed to the test item (92.4%) in water at concentrations of 0, 0.0625, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1 µg/mL for 3 hours with phenobarbital and 5,6-benzoflavone -induced rat liver S9 metabolic activation and 3 and 24 hrs without metabolic activation. There was no cytotoxicity noted but the test item was assayed up to precipitating concentrations. The positive and negative controls induced the appropriate response. Neither increases exceeding the global evaluation factor (GEF, 126 × 10−6) in the total colony mutant frequency (T-MF) values of the test article groups as compared to the T-MF values in the negative control group nor dose-dependent increases were noted in any of the treatment methods. In conclusion, the test item was considered not to possess the gene mutagenic potential to L5178Y cells under the conditions of this study.
