Metabolic activation:

Metabolic activation system:

Test concentrations with justification for top dose:
Experiment one: 1.5, 5, 15, 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate
Experiment two: 50, 150, 500, 1500 and 5000 µg/plate

Test concentrations relate to active substance as formulation concentrations were adjusted to allow for the stated water and impurity content (13.9% w/w) of the test item.
Vehicle / solvent:
- Vehicle(s)/solvent(s) used: DMSO
- Justification for choice of solvent/vehicle: The test item was insoluble in sterile distilled water at 50 mg/mL and acetone at 100 mg/mL but was fully soluble in dimethyl sulphoxide at 50 mg/mL in solubility checks performed in house. Dimethyl sulphoxide was therefore selected as the vehicle.

Details on test system and experimental conditions:
METHOD OF APPLICATION: in agar (plate incorporation) for Experiment 1 and pre-incubation for Experiment 2.

DURATION
- Preincubation period for bacterial strains: 10h
- Exposure duration: 48 hrs
- Expression time (cells in growth medium): Not applicable
- Selection time (if incubation with a selection agent): Not applicable

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS: Triplicate plating.

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: plates were assessed for reductions in bacterial lawn in both experiment 1 and 2.
Evaluation criteria:
Acceptance Criteria

The reverse mutation assay may be considered valid if the following criteria are met:

All bacterial strains must have demonstrated the required characteristics as determined by their respective strain checks.

All tester strain cultures should exhibit a characteristic number of spontaneous revertants per plate in the vehicle and untreated controls.

All tester strain cultures should be in the range of 0.9 to 9 x 10^9 bacteria per mL.

Positive control chemicals must be included to demonstrate both the intrinsic sensitivity of the tester strains to mutagen exposure and the integrity of the S9-mix. All of the positive control chemicals used in the study should induce marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies, both with or without metabolic activation.

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.
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.

A test item will be considered non-mutagenic (negative) in the test system if the above criteria are not met.

Although most experiments will give clear positive or negative results, in some instances the data generated will prohibit making a definite judgment about test item activity. Results of this type will be reported as equivocal.

Additional information on results:
COMPARISON WITH HISTORICAL CONTROL DATA:
Prior to use, the master strains were checked for characteristics, viability and spontaneous reversion rate (all were found to be satisfactory).

Results for the negative controls (spontaneous mutation rates) were considered to be acceptable.

All of the positive control chemicals used in the test induced marked increases in the frequency of revertant colonies thus confirming the activity of the S9-mix and the sensitivity of the bacterial strains.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The test item was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
Executive summary:

Introduction

The test item was tested using a protocol designed to be compatible with OECD Guidelines for Testing of Chemicals No. 471 "Bacterial Reverse Mutation Test" and Method B13/14 of Commission Regulation (EC) number 440/2008 of 30 May 2008.

Methods

Salmonella typhimurium strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 and Escherichia coli strain WP2uvrA were treated with the test item using both the Ames plate incorporation and pre‑incubation methods 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). The dose range for the plate incorporation experiment was 1.5 to 5000 µg/plate and for the pre-incubation experiment 50 to 5000 µg/plate.

Results

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 test item caused no visible reduction in the growth of the bacterial background lawn at any dose level. No test item precipitate was observed on the plates at any of the doses tested in either the presence or absence of S9-mix. No significant increases in the frequency of revertant colonies were recorded for any of the bacterial strains, with any dose of the test item, either with or without metabolic activation or exposure method.

Conclusion

The test item was considered to be non-mutagenic under the conditions of this test.
