Details on test system and experimental conditions:

Toxicity and Main Assay were performed using the plate incorporation method.

Evaluation criteria:

For the test item to be considered mutagenic, two-fold (or more) increases in mean revertant numbers must be observed at two consecutive dose levels or at the highest practicable dose level only. In addition, there must be evidence of a dose-response relationship showing increasing numbers of mutant colonies with increasing dose levels.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

It is concluded that the test item Disperse Red DYGJ 0702 induces reverse mutation by base substitutions or frameshifts in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions.

Executive summary:

The test item Disperse Red DYGJ 0702 was examined for the ability to induce gene mutations in tester strains of Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli, as measured by reversion of auxotrophic strains to prototrophy. The five tester strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98, TA100 and WP2 uvrA were used. Experiments were performed both in the absence and presence of metabolic activation, using liver S9 fraction from rats pre-treated with phenobarbitone and betanaphthoflavone. The test item was used as a solution in dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO).

Toxicity test: The test item Disperse Red DYGJ 0702 was assayed in the toxicity test at a maximum concentration of 5000 µg/plate and at four lower concentrations spaced at approximately half-log intervals: 1580, 500, 158 and 50.0 µg/plate. Heavy precipitation of the test item was observed at the end of the incubation period at the highest concentration tested which iterfered the evaluation of background lawn and in some cases also with the colony counting. Toxicity, as indicated by thinning of background lawn, reduction in revertant numbers or microcolony formation was observed with all tester strains at the two higher dose levels, in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. Toxicity was more pronounced with TA100 tester strain in the absence of S9, where thinning of background lawn was observed over the whole dose range tested.

Main Assay I: On the basis of toxicity test results, in Main Assay I, using the plate incorporation method, the test item was assayed at the following dose levels:

TA1535 ( ± S9) : 2500, 1250, 625, 313 and 156

TA1537 ( ± S9): 1250, 625, 313, 156, 78.1 and 39.1

WP2 uvrA (-S9): 5000, 2500, 1250, 625 and 313

(+S9): 2500, 1250, 625, 313 and 156

TA98 ( ± S9): 2500, 1250, 625, 313 and 156

TA100 ( ± S9): 1250, 625, 313, 156 and 78.1

Toxicity as indicated by thinning of background lawn was observed with all tester strains at the highest or two highest dose levels in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. Toxicity was more pronounced with TA1537 and TA100 in the absence of S9 metabolism where thinning of background lawn was also present at lower dose levels. Precipitation of the test item which did not interfere with scoring was observed at the end of the incubation period at the highest concentration tested in the absence of S9 metabolism for all tester strains and at one or two next lower dose levels for TA1535 and WP2 uvrA respectively. In the presence of S9 metabolism, precipitation of the test item which did not interfere with scoring was observed at the highest concentration tested for the tester strain TA1535 and at the two highest concentrations tested for WP2 uvrA. The test item induced large increases in the number of revertant colonies in all tester strains in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism. Since a clear positive response was observed, no further experiment was undertaken

Conclusion: It is concluded that the test item Disperse Red DYGJ 0702 induces reverse mutation by base substitutions or frameshifts in Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli in the absence and presence of S9 metabolism, under the reported experimental conditions.
