- Remarks:
- This study was selected as the key study because the information provided for the hazard endpoint is sufficient for the purpose of classification and labeling and/or risk assessment. p-Phenylenediamine hydrochloride will dissociate in situ, to the chloride ion and its corresponding cation. p-Phenylenediamine will also dissociate in situ to form the corresponding cation. In view of the species being the same regardless of whether the test substance is in its salt form or not, p-phenylenediamine hydrochloride is therefore representative of the substance.

In each experiment, bacterial strains were treated with diagnostic mutagens in triplicate in the absence of S-9.NUMBER OF CELLS EVALUATED: Colonies were counted electronically using a Seescan Colony Counter (Seescan plc) or manually where confounding factors such as split agar affected the accuracy of the automated counter.DETERMINATION OF CYTOTOXICITY - Method: relative total growth
- Rationale for test conditions:
- No data
- Evaluation criteria:
- The test article was considered to be mutagenic if: 1) the assay was valid, 2) Dunnett's test gave a significant response (p ≤ 0.01) and the data set(s) showed a significant dose correlation, 3) the positive responses described above were reproducible.
- Statistics:
- The m-statistic was calculated to check that the data were Poisson distributed, and Dunnett's test was used to compare the counts of each dose with the control. The presence or otherwise of a dose response was checked by linear regression analysis.

Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- This study and the conclusions which are drawn from it fulfill the quality criteria (validity, reliability, repeatability). The test substance induced mutation in Salmonella typhimurium strain TA98 in the presence of a rat liver metabolic activation system (S-9) when tested under the conditions employed in this study. These conditions included treatments of five histidine-requiring strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) of Salmonella typhimurium at concentrations up to 5000 mg/plate, in the absence and in the presence of S-9. No comparable increases were seen in strain TA98 in the absence of S-9, and no other increases sufficient to be considered as indicative of mutagenic activity were observed in any of the other tester strains.
- Executive summary:
The test substance was assayed for mutation in five histidine-requiring strains (TA98, TA100, TA1535, TA1537 and TA102) of Salmonella typhimurium, both in the absence and in the presence of metabolic activation by an Aroclor 1254-induced rat liver postmitochondrial fraction (S-9), in two separate experiments.
An initial toxicity range-finder experiment was carried out in the absence and in the presence of S-9 in strain TA100 only, using final concentrations of the test substance at 1.6, 8, 40, 200, 1000 and 5000 μg/plate, plus negative (solvent) and positive controls. Following these treatments, no evidence of toxicity was observed. Experiment 1 treatments of the remaining test strains were performed in the absence and in the presence of S-9 and retained the same test doses as employed for the range-finder experiment. Following these treatments, evidence of toxicity was observed, but was limited to 5000 µg/plate treatments in strain TA102 in the absence and in the presence of S-9. Experiment 2 treatments of all the tester strains were performed in the absence and in the presence of S-9 with the maximum test dose of 5000 μg/plate retained. A narrowed dose range was employed (156.3 - 5000 µg/plate), in order to examine more closely those concentrations of the test substance approaching the maximum test dose and therefore, considered most likely to provide evidence of any mutagenic activity. In addition, all treatments in the presence of S-9 were further modified by the inclusion of a preincubation step. In this way, it was hoped to increase the range of mutagenic chemicals that could be detected using this assay system. Following an increase in revertants observed in strain TA98 in the presence of S-9 in Experiment 1, plate incorporation treatments of strain TA98 in the presence of S-9 were also performed in Experiment 2. Following the Experiment 2 treatments, evidence of toxicity was again observed in strain TA102, occurring at 2500 and 5000 µg/plate in this strain in the presence of S-9, but only at 5000 µg/plate in the absence of S-9. Similar evidence of toxicity was also observed following plate incorporation treatments of strain TA98 in the presence of S-9 at the maximum test dose of 5000 μg/plate.
The test article was completely soluble in the aqueous assay system at all concentrations treated, in each of the experiments performed. Negative (solvent) and positive control treatments were included for all strains in both experiments. The mean numbers of revertant colonies on negative control plates all fell within acceptable ranges, and were significantly elevated by positive control treatments. Following the test substance treatments of all the tester strains, in the absence and in the presence of S-9, increases in revertant numbers were observed in strain TA98 in the presence of S-9 which were statistically significant when the data were analysed at the 1% level using Dunnett's test. These increases were dose-related and reproducible over two independent experiments, and were therefore considered to be indicative of the test substance’s mutagenic activity in this strain following metabolic activation. No comparable increases were seen in strain TA98 in the absence of S-9, and no other increases sufficient to be considered as indicative of mutagenic activity were observed in any of the other tester strains.
