- Additional strain / cell type characteristics:

- Metabolic activation:
- with and without
- Metabolic activation system:
- Rat liver S9
- Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
- Experiment 1 (pre-incubation method): 0, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
Experiment 2 (pre-incubation method): 0, 0.05, 0.15, 0.5, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500 and 1500 µg/plate
Up to eight test item dose levels were selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both a minimum of four non-toxic doses and the toxic/guideline limit of the test item. The dose levels were selected based on the results of Experiment 1.
All Salmonella strains (without S9-mix): 0.05, 0.15, 0.5, 1.5, 5, 15, 50 500 μg/plate.
Salmonella strain TA100 and TA1537 (with S9-mix) and E.coli strain WP2uvrA (without S9-mix): 0.5, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500 μg/plate.
Salmonella strain TA98 and TA1537 (with S9-mix): 0.15, 0.5, 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150 μg/plate.
E.coli strain WP2uvrA (with S9-mix): 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 μg/plate. - Vehicle / solvent:
- - Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO)
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test item was immiscible in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/mL but was fully miscible in dimethyl sulphoxide at the same concentration in solubility checks performed. Dimethyl sulphoxide was selected as the vehicle.
- Other: Formulated concentrations were (if required) adjusted by an appropriate factor to allow for the stated purity of the test item.

- Positive control substance:

- other: 2-Aminoanthracene
- Details on test system and experimental conditions:
- METHOD OF APPLICATION: Experiment 1. in medium; in agar (pre-incubation) ; Experiment 2. in medium; in agar (pre-incubation)
DURATION
- Exposure duration:
Experiment 1. 0.1 mL of the appropriate bacterial strain culture, 0.5 mL of phosphate buffer (or S9-activation mix, as applicable) and 0.1 mL of the test item formulation, solvent or 0.1 mL of appropriate positive control were incubated at 37 °C± 3 °C for 20 minutes (with shaking) prior to addition of 2 mL of amino-acid supplemented media and subsequent plating onto Vogel-Bonner plates. After setting, the plates were placed in anaerobic jars or bags (one jar/bag for each concentration of test item/vehicle) during the incubation procedure. All testing for this experiment was performed in triplicate. Concurrent negative controls were dosed using the standard plate incorporation method. All of the plates were incubated at 37 °C± 3 °C for approximately 48 hours and scored for the presence of revertant colonies using an automated colony counting system. The plates were viewed microscopically for evidence of thinning (toxicity).
Experiment 2. The procedure for incubation and duration was the same as in Experiment 1.
NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: 3
DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: relative total growth - Rationale for test conditions:
- In accordance with the relevant guidelines.
- Evaluation criteria:
- There are several criteria for determining a positive result. Any, one, or all of the following can be used to determine the overall result of the study:
1. A dose-related increase in mutant frequency over the dose range tested (De Serres and Shelby, 1979).
2. A reproducible increase at one or more concentrations.
3. Biological relevance against in-house historical control ranges.
4. Statistical analysis of data as determined by UKEMS (Mahon et al., 1989).
5. Fold increase greater than two times the concurrent solvent control for any tester strain (especially if accompanied by an out of historical range response (Cariello and Piegorsch, 1996)).
A test item is considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.
In instances of data prohibiting definitive judgement about test item activity are reported as equivocal. - Statistics:
- Statistical methods (Mahon, et al.); as recommended by the UKEMS Subcommittee on Guidelines for Mutagenicity Testing, Report - Part III (1989).

Any other information on results incl. tables
Note: The experimental procedure for Experiment 1 tested up to 5000 µg/plate was repeated with limited dose range due to excessive toxicity in the original test. The data for the Salmonella strains given in Experiment 1, refer to the repeat experiment only. Original Experiment 1 data for the Salmonella strains was discarded as there were less than four non-toxic doses.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Interpretation of results:
Negative
Under the conditions of this study the test item was considered to be non-mutagenic in the presence and absence of S9 activation. - Executive summary:
The study was performed to the requirements of OECD Guideline 471, EU Method B13/14, US EPA OCSPP 870.5100 and Japanese guidelines for bacterial mutagenicity testing under GLP, to evaluate the potential mutagenicity of the test item in a bacterial reverse mutation assay using S.typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA- in both the presence and absence of S-9 mix. The test strains were treated with the test item using the Ames pre incubation method at up to eight dose levels, in triplicate, both with and without the addition of a rat liver homogenate metabolizing system (10% liver S9 in standard co-factors). Formulated concentrations were adjusted by an appropriate factor to allow for the stated purity of the test item.The dose range for Experiment 1 was predetermined and was 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate. However, due to excessive toxicity, a repeat experiment had to be performed (Salmonella strains dosed in the absence of S9-mix only) employing a dose range of 0.015 to 50 μg/plate. The second experiment was repeated on a separate day using fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test item formulations. The experiment was repeated on a separate day using fresh cultures of the bacterial strains and fresh test item formulations. Seven test item dose levels were selected in Experiment 2 in order to achieve both a minimum of four non-toxic dose levels and the toxic limit of the test item. The dose range was amended following the results of Experiment 1 and ranged between 0.05 and 1500 µg/plate, depending on bacterial strain type and presence or absence of S9-mix. The vehicle (dimethyl sulphoxide) control plates gave counts of revertant colonies within the normal range. All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation. Thus, the sensitivity of the assay and the efficacy of the S9-mix were validated. The maximum dose level of the test item in the first experiment was selected as the maximum recommended dose level of 5000 μg/plate. However the Salmonella strains dosed in the absence of S9-mix had to be repeated and were tested up the toxic limit (i.e. 50 μg/plate based on the first experiment). In the first mutation test, the test item induced a visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawns of all the tester strains in both the presence and absence of S9-mix. Consequently, for the second mutation test the toxic limit was employed as the maximum dose concentration. Results from the second mutation test (pre-incubation method) confirmed the toxicity previously noted with weakened bacterial background lawns observed. The sensitivity of the bacterial tester strains to the toxicity of the test item varied slightly between strain type, exposures with or without S9 mix. No test item precipitate was observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9-mix. There were no significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation (S9 mix). It was concluded that, under the conditions of this assay, the test item gave a negative, i.e. non-mutagenic response in S.typhimurium strains TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and E.coli strain WP2uvrA- in the presence and absence of S-9 mix.
