The query structure does not match any structural alerts or examples for (bacterial in vitro) mutagenicity in Derek. Additionally, the query structure does not contain any unclassified or misclassified featues and is consequently predicted to be inactive in the bacterial in vitro (Ames) mutagenicity test.

Conclusions:

The query structure does not match any structural alerts or examples for (bacterial in vitro) mutagenicity in Derek. Additionally, the query structure does not contain any unclassified or misclassified featues and is consequently predicted to be inactive in the bacterial in vitro (Ames) mutagenicity test.

Reliability:

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:

results derived from a valid (Q)SAR model, but not (completely) falling into its applicability domain, with adequate and reliable documentation / justification

Justification for type of information:

1. SOFTWARE : OASIS TIMES v2.27.19.13

4. SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY OF THE (Q)SAR MODEL
- Defined endpoint: Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test
- Unambiguous algorithm: Ames mutagenicity S9 activated
- Defined domain of applicability: The LMC stepwise approach was used to define the applicability domain. It contains two layers: General properties requirements (log Kow, MW) and Structural domain (Atom Centered Fragments (ACFs)).
- Appropriate measures of goodness-of-fit and robustness and predictivity:
Sensitivity = (predicted positive / observed positive) = 79 %
Specificity = (predicted negative / observed negative) = 82 %
Concordance = (correct predicted positive and negative chemicals in respect to all training set chemicals) = 81 %
- Mechanistic interpretation: The chemical fulfils the general properties requirements.

5. APPLICABILITY DOMAIN
- Structural and mechanistic domains:
Parameter domain: The chemical fulfills the general properties requirements.
Structural fragments domain: The chemical is out of the interpolation structural space (fragments in correctly predicted training chemicals: 42.86 %; fragnments in non-correctly predicted training chemicals: 0.00 %; fragments not present in the training chemicals: 57.14 %)
- Similarity with analogues in the training set: no structural analogues in the training set reported

Additional information

OASIS TIMES

The chemical fulfills the general properties requirements for the parametric domain but it is out of the interpolation structural space (fragments in correctly predicted training chemicals: 42.86 %; fragnments in non-correctly predicted training chemicals: 0.00 %; fragments not present in the training chemicals: 57.14 %). However, the substance was predicted to be negative in the model for bacterial reverse mutation potential with metabolic activation.

Derek Nexus

The query structure does not match any structural alerts or examples for (bacterial in vitro) mutagenicity in Derek. Additionally, the query structure does not contain any unclassified or misclassified featues and is consequently predicted to be inactive in the bacterial in vitro (Ames) mutagenicity test.

CASE Ultra

Overall negative outcome because no alerts were identified in the test chemical and all the unknown fragments (fragments not covered by the training set of models) were dismissed.

Justification for classification or non-classification

Classification, Labelling, and Packaging Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008

The available QSAR predictions are reliable and suitable for classification purposes under Regulation 1272/2008. No adverse outcome for Ames mutagenicity were predicted. As a result, the substance is not considered to be classified for mutagenicity under Regulation (EC) No. 1272/2008, as amended for the thirteenth time in Regulation (EC) No. 2018/1480.
