Test material

Constituent 1
Chemical structure
Reference substance name:
(6S)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,3-benzothiazole-2,6-diamine 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid trihydrate
EC Number:
928-472-1
Cas Number:
1184301-52-7
Molecular formula:
C11-H17-N3-O6-S x 3H2O
IUPAC Name:
(6S)-4,5,6,7-tetrahydro-1,3-benzothiazole-2,6-diamine 2,3-dihydroxybutanedioic acid trihydrate
Test material form:
solid: particulate/powder
Specific details on test material used for the study:
In the study report is mentioned that a dihydrate was used for testing, this statement is not correct. After further evaluation of the substances it was found out that it is a trihydrate. The batch for testing was a typical production batch.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
The test system was suitably labeled to clearly identify the study number, bacterial strain, test article concentration (where appropriate) positive and vehicle controls, absence or presence of S-9 mix.
Rationale for test conditions:
The test is considered acceptable if for each strain:
- the bacteria demonstrate their typical responses to crystal violet and ampicillin
- the control plates without S9 mix are within the historical control data range
- corresponding background growth on both negative control and test plates occurs
- the positive control shows a distinct enhancement over the control plate
Evaluation criteria:
A test item is considered mutagenic if:
- a dose-related increase in the number of revertants occur and/or
- a reproducible biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs in at least one strain with or without metabolic activation.
A test item producing neither a dose related increase in the number of revertants nor a reproducible biologically relevant positive response at any of the test points is considered non-mutagenic in this system.
Statistics:
The biological relevance of the results is the criterion for the interpretation of results, a statistical evaluation of the results is not regarded as necessary.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
The reported data of this mutagenicity assay show that, under the experimental conditions reported, the test item induces gene mutations by
frameshifts in the genome of the strains used.
Therefore, SND 919 Precursor 3a is considered to be mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.
However there is evidence that a genotoxic impurity was responsible for the positive outcome. An other AMES test was performed with a high purified substances of  (S)-2,6-Diamino-4,5,6,7-tetrahydrobenzothiazol (CAS: 106092-09-5), the result of this test was negative. Therefore it is assumed that the tartrate salt is also negative and the positive result in this study was caused by an impurity.
