Materials and methods

Test guideline
Qualifier:
no guideline available
Guideline:
other: according to 471
Deviations:
yes
Remarks:
Ames II
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test method is used to evaluate the mutagenic potential of the test substance based on the ability to induce point mutations in selected loci of several strains of Salmonella typhimurium in a modified version of the Ames test (OECD 471), designated Ames II Assay (microtiter version), both with and without the addition of a metabolizing system (S9 mix) obtained from induced rat liver. According to the authors, this method shows a good accuracy concerning the prediction of the results in the regular Ames test.
GLP compliance:
yes
Remarks:
comparable to GLP -Screening test, GLP certif. laboratory
Type of assay:
other: Ames II

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

Under the experimental conditions chosen here, the test substance is not a mutagenic substance in the Ames II Assay (Salmonella typhimurium reverse mutation assay) in the absence and presence of metabolic activation.
