Details on test system and experimental conditions:

METHOD OF APPLICATION: preincubation

DURATION
- Preincubation period: 60 minutes
- Exposure duration: 48 or 72 hour

NUMBER OF REPLICATIONS:
- Doses of the test substance were tested in triplicate in each strain. Two independent experiments were conducted.

NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: 10E8 per plate

DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY
- Method: The reduction of the revertant colonies.

Evaluation criteria:

The average number of mutant colonies per plate is compared with the average number of spontaneous revertants in the control. A dose-related
increase in the number of colonies which reaches at least a doubling of the control values is usually considered to be a positive response.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:

Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

The substance was tested in the Salmonella typhimurium assay with strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 equivalent or similar to OECD 471 guideline. The substance is not mutagenic in strain TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 with and without S9-mix.

Executive summary:

The substance was tested in the Salmonella typhimurium assay with strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 equivalent or similar to OECD 471 guideline. In a preliminary toxicity test all four strains were tested up to 5000 ug/plate with and without metabolic activation. In the mutagenicity assay concentrations used were chosen on data obtained in the preliminary toxicity assay. In the mutagenicity assay no toxicity and no increase in the number of revertant colonies was observed in strain TA98 up to and including the top dose of 5000 µg/plate, with and without S9 -mix. No toxicity and no increase in the number of revertant colonies was observed up to and including the top dose of 500 µg/plate in strain TA1535 (with and without S9-mix), TA1537 (without S9-mix), and no toxicity and no increase in the number of revertant colonies was observed up to and including the top dose of 1500 µg/plate in strain TA1537 (with S9 -mix) and TA100. From this it can be concluded that the substance is not mutagenic in strains TA1535, TA1537, TA98 and TA100 with and without S9-mix in two main experiments.
