Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) - Platings were made by adding 0.1 ml bacterial culture, 0.1 ml test article solution, and 0.5 ml 10% S-9 mix or buffer to 2.5 ml molten agar at 46°C. The plating mixture was rapidly mixed and poured onto Minimal Davis agar plates. After setting, the plates were inverted and incubated for 3 days at 37°C in the dark. Plates were then examined for toxicity. In experiment 2, the test solution was reduced to 0.05 ml due to the toxicity of the solvent, DMSO.


DURATION
- Preincubation period: Experiment 2 - 1 hour
- Exposure duration: 3 days
- Expression time (cells in growth medium):
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent):
- Fixation time (start of exposure up to fixation or harvest of cells):

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3

OTHER: Colonies were counted using a Seescan Colony Counter or manually when automatic counts could not be obtained.
Evaluation criteria:
Mean control counts fell within normal ranges.
Positive controls induced clear increases in revertant numbers.
No more than 5% of the plates lost through contamination.
Dunnett's test gave a significant response (p <= 0.01), and the data set showed a significant dose-correlation.
The positive responses were reproducible.
Statistics:
Individual plate counts were averaged. Dunnett's test was used to calculate significant responses.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results: negative

It was concluded that the substance did not induce mutation in five strains of Salmonella typhimurium (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, and TA102 ) when tested under the conditions employed in this study, which included treatment at concentrations up to the lower limit of toxicity, both in the absence and in the presence of rat liver metabolic activation system (S-9).
Executive summary:

A bacterial reverse mutation assay was performed on five strains of Salmonella typhimurium. The study was performed both with (maximum concentration of 1000 microgram/ml) and without metabolic activation (maximum concentration of 500 microgram/ml). After 3 days of exposure to the test substance, the number of mean revertants per plate was calculated. Toxicity was seen at the highest doses. Most notably in the strains TA1535, TA1537, and TA102 during Experiment 2. These strains were retested at lower doses. There was no significant increase in the number of revertants in any of the test strains. There was a significant increase in the number of revertants in the positive control treatment. The study is therefore valid, and the test substance is not mutagenic.
