Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
4-Nitro-4'-aminodi-phenylamine-2-sulfonic acid did not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 in the absence of metabolic activation system. It howver induced gene mutation in strains TA98, TA1537 and TA1538 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and induced weak positive mutation in strain TA1538 in the absence of S9 metabolic activation system.
Executive summary:

Salmonella / microsome assay was performed to determine the mutagenic nature of 4-Nitro-4'-aminodiphenylamine-2-sulfonic acid. The study was performed as per the standard plate incorporation assay using Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1537, TA1535 and TA1538 in the presence and absence of S9 metabolic activation system. The test chemical was tested at dose levels of 4 upto 5000 µg/plate. The plates were observed for a dose dependent increase in the number of revertants/plate. 4-Nitro-4'-aminodi-phenylamine-2-sulfonic acid did not induce gene mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strains TA100 and TA1535 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 in the absence of metabolic activation system. It howver induced gene mutation in strains TA98, TA1537 and TA1538 in the presence of S9 metabolic activation system and induced weak positive mutation in strain TA1538 in the absence of S9 metabolic activation system.
