Details on test system and experimental conditions:
A preliminary study was conducted in strains TA100 and WP2 uvrA in the absence of S-9. The two main experiments were conducted with all tester strains in the absence and in the presence of S-9. The bacteria were grown overnight for 10 hours at 37 °C. Aliquots of the bacterial culture (0.1 mL) were added to 0.1 test solution (vehicle control, positive control or test article), 0.5 mL of buffer (treatments in the absence of S-9) or S-9 (for treatments in the presence of S-9) and 2 mL of agar (containing trace amounts of histidine for salmonella strains or tryptophan for the E. coli strain), mixed and poured onto Vogel Bonner plates. The plates were incubated at 38 °C for 48 hours. The plates were then scored for revertant colonies. The preliminary test was plated in duplicate; the main experiments were plated in triplicate.
Evaluation criteria:
For a test substance to be considered positive, a concentration-related and statistically significant increase in the the number of revertants of at least twice the concurrent control should have been observed in at least one strain in either the absence or presence of S-9 in both experiments. Where the results of experiments gave conflicting results, an additional test would be required.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
1,3-propanediol, 2,2- bis(hydroxymethyl) -, allyl ether showed no evidence of mutagenicity in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation when tested up to 5000 µg/plate in strains TA98, TA100, TA535, TA1537 and WP2 uvrA.
Executive summary:

An Ames test was conducted with 1,3-propanediol, 2,2- bis(hydroxymethyl) -, allyl ether according to OECD guideline 471. Testing was conducted in Salmonella typhmurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535 and TA1537 and Escherichia coli strain WP2 uvrA in the absence and presence of metabolic activation. Two independent tests were conducted up to 5000 µg/plate. There was no evidence of toxicity, precipitation or increases in the number of revertants which were 2 -fold the concurrent controls. The overall conclusion of the study is that the test material has shown no evidence of mutagenicity when tested up to the maximum concentration of 5000 µg/plate.
