Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: [DMSO]
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: Due to the limited solubility of the test substance in ultrapure water, DMSO was used as vehicle, which had been demonstrated to be suitable in bacterial reverse mutation tests and for which historical control data are available.

METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

DURATION
- Incubation period: 20 min in medium (PIT) and incubation at 37°C for 48 – 72 hours (PIT and SPT)

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth
Evaluation criteria:
The test substance is considered positive in this assay if the following criteria are met:
• A dose-related and reproducible increase in the number of revertant colonies, i.e. about doubling of the spontaneous mutation rate in at least one tester strain either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system.
A test substance is generally considered non-mutagenic in this test if:
• The number of revertants for all tester strains were within the historical negative control range under all experimental conditions in at least two experiments carried out independently of each other.

not applicable

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON CYTOTOXICITY:
Bacteriotoxicity (decrease in the number of his+ or trp+ revertants, slight reduction in the titer) was observed in the standard plate test and in the preincubation assay depending on the strain and test conditions from about 2 500 μg/plate onward.

Any other information on results incl. tables

According to the results of the present study, the test substance did not lead to a relevant increase in the number of revertant colonies either without S9 mix or after adding a metabolizing system in two experiments carried out independently of each other (standard

plate test and preincubation assay).

Besides, the results of the negative as well as the positive controls performed in parallel corroborated the validity of this study, since the values fulfilled the acceptance criteria of this study.

In this study with and without S9 mix, the number of revertant colonies in the negative controls was within the range of the historical negative control data for each tester strain.

In addition, the positive control substances both with and without S9 mix induced a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies within the range of the historical positive control data or above.
