Compound F76-001 was tested in the form of a precipitate in all of the assays performed.
Compound F76-001 was first tested in a range finding assay of ten doses between 0.3 and 10,000 ug/plate with TA 100.

Results and discussion

Test results
Species / strain:
other: TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537, TA1538), and E. coli WP2 (uvrA)
Metabolic activation:
with and without
Genotoxicity:
negative
Cytotoxicity / choice of top concentrations:
no cytotoxicity
Vehicle controls validity:
valid
Untreated negative controls validity:
not examined
Positive controls validity:
valid
Additional information on results:
The range finding test was performed with TA100. At a dose of 10,000 µg/plate without metabolic activation, the number of histidine-independent revertants was more than twice then that for the control. The compound was tested again at the three highest doses of the range finding tests in further assays. No mutagenicity was observed in all test strains at any concentration tested. A precipitation from the compound could be seen on the plates at the higher dose 1000 to 10,000 µg/plate.
Compound F76-001 (zeolite A) did not appear to be mutagenic or toxic in these assays.
The positive controls gave appropriate responses.
