Species / strain

Species / strain 1

Species / strain / cell type:

S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98 and TA 100

Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):

All strains have a defective excision repair system (uvrB), which prevents the repair of lesions which are induced in the DNA, and this deficiency results in greatly enhanced sensitivity of some mutagens. Furthermore, all strains show a considerably reduced hydrophilic polysaccharide layer (rfa), which leads to an increase in permeability to lipophilic substances.

Additional strain / cell type characteristics:

other: The strains TA 1535 and TA 100 are derived from histidine-prototrophic Salmonella strains by the substitution mutation his G 46 and are used to detect base pair substitutions. TA 1537 and TA 98 are strains for the detection of frameshift mutagens.

Species / strain 2

Species / strain / cell type:

E. coli WP2 uvr A

Details on mammalian cell type (if applicable):

Escherichia coli WP2 uvrA is a derivative of E . coli WP2 with a deficient excision repair and is used to detect substances which induce base pair
substitutions. The rate of induced back mutations from tryptophan auxotrophy to tryptophan independence is determined.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

According to the results of the present study, the test substance DMCHA is not mutagenic in the Ames test and in the Escherichia coli - reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions outlined. Based on the results of the in vitro study provided, the test substance, does not require classification according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC.

Executive summary:

The substance cyclohexyldimethylamine (DMCHA0 was tested for its mutagenic potential based on the ability to induce back mutations in selected loci of several bacterial strains in the Ames test and in the Escherichia coli.- reverse mutation assay.

Strains : TA 1535, TA 100, TA 1537, TA 98 and E . coli WP2 uvrA

Dose range : 20 µg - 5,000 µg/plate (SPT), 4 µg - 2,500 µg/plate (PIT)

Test conditions : Standard plate test (SPT) and preincubation test (PIT) both with and without metabolic activation (Aroclor induced rat liver S-9 mix).

Solubility : No precipitation of the test substance was found.

Toxicity : A bacteriotoxic effect was observed depending on the strain and test conditions at doses ≥ 2,500 µg/plate (SPT) or at

doses ≥ 500 µg/plate (PIT).

Mutagenicity : No increase ín the number of his+ or trp+ revertants was observed both in the standard plate test and in the preincubation test either without S-9 mix or after the addition of a metabolizing system.

Conclusion :

According to the results of the present study, the test substance DMCHA is not mutagenic in the Ames test and in the Escherichia coli - reverse mutation assay under the experimental conditions chosen here.

Based on the results of the in vitro study provided, the test substance, does not require classification according to Regulation EC No. 1272/2008 or Directive 67/548/EEC.
