STABILITY AND STORAGE CONDITIONS OF TEST MATERIAL
- Storage condition of test material: room temperature
- Solubility and stability of the test substance in the solvent/vehicle: Stable in ethanol (0.01-423 mg/ml) for 24hrs at room temperature (Currenta File No.: 2014/0048/08; date: 2015-03-24)


FORM AS APPLIED IN THE TEST (if different from that of starting material): On the day of the experiment, the test item was dissolved in ethanol. All formulations were prepared freshly before treatment and used within two hours of preparation.

Method

Target gene:
mutant histidine gene
Species / strain
Species / strain / cell type:
S. typhimurium TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100 and E. coli WP2
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Metabolic activation system:
Phenobarbital/β-naphthoflavone induced rat liver S9
Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
plate incorporation assay (experiment I):
3, 10, 33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500, 5000 µg/plate with and without S9 mix
preincubation assay (experiment II):
33, 100, 333, 1000, 2500, 5000 µg/plate with and without S9 mix

The test was performed up to and including the limit dose of 5000 µg/plate. In both experiments no precipitation of the test item in the overlay agar in the test tubes occurred up to and including the highest investigated dose. The test item precipitated in the overlay agar on the incubated agar plates in experiment I at 5000 μg/plate in all strains without S9 mix. The undissolved particles had no influence on the data recording.
Toxic effects, evident as reduced background growth, were described for all test strains in experiment II without and with S9 mix at 5000 µg/plate.
Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants below the induction factor of 0.5) were observed in experiment I for TA 100 without S9 mix at 5000 µg/plate. In experiment II at 5000 µg/plate without S9 mix in TA 1535, TA 98 and TA 100 and with S9 mix in TA 100.
Vehicle / solvent:
Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: ethanol
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The solvent was chosen because of its solubility properties and its relative nontoxicity to the bacteria.
Controls
Untreated negative controls:
yes
Negative solvent / vehicle controls:
yes
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
sodium azide
methylmethanesulfonate
other: 4-nitro-o-phenylene-diamine (4-NOPD), 2-aminoanthracene
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation); preincubation

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

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: For each strain and dose level, including the controls, three plates were used.

DETERMINATION OF TOXICITY
- Method: Toxicity of the test item can be evident as a reduction in the number of spontaneous revertants or a clearing of the bacterial background lawn.













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:
negative
Executive summary:

The test item was evaluated in an Ames Test on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA 1535, TA 1537, TA 98, TA 100, and the Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA, performed according to OECD TG 471. In both experiments no precipitation of the test item in the overlay agar in the test tubes occurred up to and including the highest investigated dose. The test item precipitated in the overlay agar on the incubated agar plates in experiment I at 5000 μg/plate in all strains without S9 mix. The undissolved particles had no influence on the data recording. The plates incubated with the test item at 5000 µg/plate showed reduced background growth at 5000 μg/plate in experiment II (+/- S9 mix). Toxic effects, evident as a reduction in the number of revertants, occurred in some test groups with and without metabolic activation at 5000 µg/plate in both experiments. The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic without and with S9 mix in the plate incorporation as well as in the preincubation modification of the Salmonella/microsome test. Positive controls increased the mutant counts to well over those of the negative controls, thus demonstrated the system´s sensitivity.
