Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Preparation and storage of a liver homogenate fraction (S9)
Liver preparations were performed from the liver of non pre-treated Syrian hamsters.
The livers were removed from at least 5-6 male Syrian hamsters (7 -8 weeks old) at approx. 0 to 4 °C using cold sterile solutions and glassware, and were then pooled and washed in approx. 150 mM KCI (approximately 1 ml/g wet liver). The washed livers were cut into small pieces and homogenized in three volumes of KCI. The homogenate was centrifuged at approx. 9000 g for 10 minutes. The supernatant is the S9 fraction. This was divided into small portions, rapidly frozen and stored at approx. - 80 °C for not longer than six months.

Preparation of S9-mix
Sufficient S9 fraction was thawed immediately before each test at room temperature.
Three volumes of S9 fraction was mixed with 7 volumes of the S9 cofactor solution, which was kept on ice until used. This preparation is termed S9-mix. The concentrations of the different compounds in the S9-mix of the rat liver were:
8mM MgCI2
33mM KCI
20mM glucose-6-phosphate
2.8 units/ml glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase
4mM NADP+
2mM NADH
2mM FMN (Riboflavine-5'-phosphate-sodium-salt)
100mM phosphate buffer pH 7.4
According to the modification proposed by Prival using 30 minutes preincubation in the presence of 30 % (v/v) Syrian golden hamster S9-mix.

Bacteria
Bacteria were grown overnight in nutrient broth (25 g Oxoid Nutrient Broth No. 2 /liter) at approx. 37 °C. The amount of bacteria in the cell suspension was checked by nephelometry. Inoculation was performed with stock cultures which had been stored at approx. -80 °C. The compound was tested with the strains Salmonella typhimurium TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537. Identification of the different bacterial strains is performed periodically and all criteria for a valid assay were fulfilled as described.

Toxicity experiments and dose range finding
The first experiment was performed with all tester strains using three plates per dose to obtain information on mutagenicity and toxicity for calculating an appropriate dose range. A reduced rate of spontaneously occurring colonies and visible thinning of the bacterial lawn were used as toxicity indicators. Thinning of the bacterial lawn was evaluated microscopically.
In combination with the second experiment, toxicity testing was performed as follows:
0.1 ml of the different dilutions of the test compound were thoroughly mixed with 0.1 ml of 106 dilution of the overnight culture of TA 100 and plated with histidine and biotin rich top agar (3 plates per dose). The solvent control is compared with the number of colonies per plate in the presence of the test compound. Results are given as a ratio of these values (= surviving fraction).

Mutagenicity test
Two independent experiments were performed for each of the two protocols (Ames, Prival).
a) - with buffer and the strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 in a plate incorporation test without metabolic activation
Top agar was prepared for the Salmonella strains by mixing 100 ml agar (0.6% (w/v) agar, 0.5% (w/v) NaCI) with 10 ml of a 0.5 mM histidine-biotin solution.
The following ingredients were added (in the following order) to 2 ml of molten top agar at approx. 45 °C:
0.1 ml of an overnight nutrient broth culture of the bacterial tester strain
0.1 ml test compound solution
0.5 ml buffer
After mixing, the liquid was poured into a petri dish with minimal agar (1.5 % (w/v) agar, Vogel-Bonner E medium with 2 % (w/v) glucose). After incubation for approximately 48 hours at approx. 37 °C in the dark, colonies (his+ revertants) were counted.

b)- with 30% (v/v) Syrian golden hamster S9-mix and preincubation
0.1 ml test solution, 0.1 ml bacterial suspension and 0.5 ml S9-mix were incubated at approx. 30 °C for approx. 30 minutes. Subsequently, 2 ml of soft agar containing of 100 ml agar (0.6% (w/v) agar+ 0.5% (w/v) NaCI) and 10 ml amino-acid solution (minimal amino acid solution for the determination of mutants: 0.5 mM histidine + 0.5 mM biotin) was added. After mixing, the samples were poured on to the VogelBonner agar plates (minimal glucose agar plates) within approximately 30 seconds.
After incubation for 48 hours at 37 °C in the dark, colonies (his+ revertants) were counted.
Rationale for test conditions:
In accordance with test guidelines.
Evaluation criteria:
A test compound is classified as mutagenic if it has either of the following effects:
a) a test compound produces at least a 2-fold increase in the mean number of revertants per plate of at least one of the tester strains over the mean number of revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control at complete bacterial background lawn
b) a test compound induces a dose-related increase in the mean number of revertants per plate of at least one of the tester strains over the mean number of revertants per plate of the appropriate vehicle control in at least two to three concentrations of the test compound at complete bacterial background lawn.
The test results must be reproducible.

Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Untreated negative controls validity:
valid
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
Sterility checks and control plates
Sterility of S-9-mix and the test compound were indicated by the absence of contamination on the test material and S9-mix sterility check plates. Control plates (background control and positive controls) gave the expected number of colonies.

Solubility
The test compound did not precipitate on the plates up to the highest investigated dose of 5000 microgram/plate.

Toxicity
The test compound was tested at doses of 4 to 5000 microgram/plate and proved to be not toxic to the bacterial strains.
Therefore 5000 microgram/plate was chosen as the highest dose in the second experiment.

Mutagenicity
Experimental design
Remazol Brillantviolett 5R neu GT was tested for mutagenicity with Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 98, TA 100, TA 1535 and TA 1537 in the absence and presence of a metabolic activation system. S9-mix from Syrian golden hamsters (30 % (v/v)) was used.

Mutation results
Ames-Test:
The test compound did not cause a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies with any of the tester strains in the absence of a metabolic activation system.
No dose dependent effect was obtained.
Prival-Test:
In the presence of hamster liver S9-mix (30% (v/v)) using the preincubation method according to Prival the test compound did not show any relevant increases in the number of revertant colonies under the experimental conditions described.

Two independent experiments for each of the two protocols (Ames, Prival) were performed.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The results led to the conclusion that the test substance is not mutagenic in the absence of a metabolic activation system using the standard Ames Test procedure. Also in the presence of hamster liver S9-mix (30 % (v/v)) and preincubation the test compound did not induce a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies. The substance did not cause any cytotoxic effects.
Executive summary:

The test substance was tested for mutagenicity with the strains TA 100, TA 1535, TA 1537 and TA 98 of Salmonella typhimurium.

 

The mutagenicity studies were conducted in the standard plate test (Ames Test) and in a modified preincubation test (Prival Test). The studies were performed in the absence and in the presence of a metabolising system derived from hamster liver homogenate. The test compound was dissolved in aqua bidest. and a dose range of 6 different doses from 4 microgram/plate to 5000 microgram/plate was used.

 

Control plates without mutagen showed that the number of spontaneous revertant colonies was similar to that described in the literature. All the positive control compounds gave the expected increase in the number of revertant colonies.

 

Toxicity: The test compound proved to be not toxic to the bacterial strains.

 

5000 microgram/plate was chosen as top dose level for the mutagenicity study.

 

a) Ames Test:

Mutagenicity: In the absence of the metabolic activation system, the test substance did not show a dose dependent increase in the number of revertants in any of the bacterial strains.

 

b) Prival Test:

In the presence of hamster liver S9-mix (30 % (v/v)) using the preincubation method according to Prival the test substance did not induce a significant increase in the number of revertant colonies with any of the tester strains.

 

Summarising, it can be stated that the test substance is not mutagenic in the standard plate test (Ames Test) and in the preincubation method according to Prival.

The test substance is not classified according to CLP criteria.
