Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Method

Species / strainopen allclose all
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100
Species / strain / cell type:
E. coli WP2 uvr A
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Phenobarbitone / ß-napthoquinone induced, rat-liver S9.
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Concentration range in the main test (with metabolic activation): 50 ... 5000 µg/plate
Concentration range in the main test (without metabolic activation): 50 ... 5000 µg/plate
Vehicle / solvent:
Sterile distilled water.
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Positive control sunbstances:
without activation: N-Ethyl-N'nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (TA100, TA 1535, E.coli); 9-Aminoacridine (TA 1537); 4-Nitroquinolin-1-oxide (TA98)
with activation: 2-Aminoantharcene; Benzopyrene
Evaluation criteria:
- all cultures show the strain specific number of spontaneous mutations in vehicle & untreated controls
- at least 2-fold increase of revertants in positive controls
- at least 4 non-toxic dose levels
- the testmaterial has induced a reproducible, dose-related and statistically significant increase in revertant count in at least 1 strain of bacteria

Additional information on results:
Concentrations tested with & without S9-mix: 0-50-150-500-1500-5000 µg/plate

Observations: Solvent control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All positive control chemicals gave increases in revertants, either with or without the metabolising system as appropriate, within expected ranges. No statistically significant increase in the numbers of revertant colonies was recorded for any of the bacterial strains with any dose of the substance, either with or without metabolic activation.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

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

The substance did not show a mutagenic potential with and without metabolic activation in the Ames test in S. typhimurium and E. coli.
