On the day of the experiment, the test item CP-902684 was dissolved in DMSO (MERCK, D-64293 Darmstadt; purity > 99 %). The solvent was chosen because of its solubility properties and its relative non-toxicity to the bacteria.

Additional strain / cell type characteristics:
other: the uvrA derivative is deficient in the DNA repair process (excision repair damage).
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
S9 mix
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Since toxic effects were observed in the pre-experiment seven concentrations were tested and 5000 ug/plate were chosen as maximal concentration.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: In the pre-incubation assay 100 uL test solution, 500 uL S9 mix / S9 mix substitution buffer and 100 uL bacterial suspension were mixed in a test tube and shaken at 37° C for 60 minutes. After pre-incubation 2.0 mL overlay agar (45° C) was added to each tube. The mixture was poured on selective agar plates.

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 mins
- Exposure duration: 48 hours

DATA RECORDING
The colonies were counted using the Petri Viewer Mk2 (Perceptive Instruments Ltd, Suffolk CB 7BN, UK) with the software program Ames Study Manager. The counter was connected to an IBM AT compatible PC with printer to print out the individual values and the means from the plates for each concentration together with standard deviations and enhancement factors as compared to the spontaneous reversion rates. Due to precipitation of the test item the revertant colonies were partly counted manually.
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered as a mutagen if a biologically relevant increase in the number of revertants exceeding the threshold of twice (strains TA 98, TA 100, and WP2 uvrA) or thrice (strains TA 1535 and TA 1537) the colony count of the corresponding solvent control is observed.

A dose dependent increase is considered biologically relevant if the threshold is exceeded at more than one concentration.

An increase exceeding the threshold at only one concentration is judged as biologically relevant if reproduced in an independent second experiment.

A dose dependent increase in the number of revertant colonies below the threshold is regarded as an indication of a mutagenic potential if reproduced in an independent second experiment. However, whenever the colony counts remain within the historical range of negative and solvent controls such an increase is not considered biologically relevant.
Statistics:
According to the OECD guideline 471, a statistical analysis of the data is not mandatory.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
In conclusion, it can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, the test item did not induce gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the strains used. Therefore, CP-902684 is considered to be non-mutagenic in this Salmonella typhimurium and Escherichia coli reverse mutation assay.
Executive summary:

This study was performed to investigate the potential of CP-902684 to induce gene mutations in the plate incorporation test (experiment I) and the pre-incubation test (experiment II) using the Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, and TA 100, and the Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA. The assay was performed in two independent experiments both with and without liver microsomal activation. Each concentration, including the controls, was tested in triplicate. The test item was tested at the following concentrations:

Pre-Experiment/Experiment I: 3, 10; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500; and 5000 ug/plate

Experiment II:    10; 33; 100; 333; 1000; 2500; and 5000 ug/plate

The plates incubated with the test item showed normal background growth up to 5000 ug/plate with and without metabolic activation in both independent experiments.  Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants, occurred in nearly all strains.  No substantial increase in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains was observed following treatment with CP-902684 at any dose level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation (S9 mix). There was also no tendency of higher mutation rates with increasing concentrations in the range below the generally acknowledged border of biological relevance. Appropriate reference mutagens were used as positive controls and showed a distinct increase of induced revertant colonies.
