+S9 mix: 0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500, 5000 μg/plate (all strains)

The test item was tested in a pre-experiment eith the following concentrations:
3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate

The test item concentration to be applied in the main experiments were choosen according to the results of the pre-experiment. 5000 µg/plate was selected as the maximum concentration. The concentration range covered two logarithmic decades. Three independent experiments were performed with the following concentrations:
3.16, 10.0, 31.6, 100, 316, 1000, 2500 and 5000 µg/plate

Negative solvent / vehicle controls:

Remarks:

True negative controls:
no
Positive controls:
yes
Positive control substance:
sodium azide

other: 4-Nitro-o-phenylenediamine, 2-aminoanthracene
Details on test system and experimental conditions:
Procedures:
Pre-incubation method
Plate incorporation method

For each strain and dose level, including controls, three plates were used.

Number of replicates: 3

Positive controls:
-S9 mix; Sodium azide (TA 100, TA 1535), 4-nitro-o-phenylene-diamine (TA 98, TA 1537), methylmethanesulfonate (TA 102)
+S9 mix; 2-Aminoanthracene (for all strains)
Evaluation criteria:
To be considered positive if:
- a clear and dose related increase in the number of revertants accours and/or
- a biologically relevant positive response for at least one of the dose groups occurs in at least one tester strain with or without metabolic activation.

A biologically relevant increase is described as follows;

- if in tester strains TA 98, TA 100 and TA 102 the number of reversions is at least twice as high
- if in tester strains TA 1535 and TA 1537 the number of reversions is at least three times higher than the reversion rate of the solvent control.
Statistics:
no data

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information): negative
The test material was considered to be non-mutagenic to Salmonella typhimurium under the conditions of the test.
Executive summary:

The test item did not increase the reverse mutation rate in histidine dependent bacterial strains of Salmonella typhimurium in the presence or absence of metabolic activation at concentrations up to and including 5000 µg/plate. It is concluded that the test substance is negative for mutagenicity in bacteria under the conditions of the test.
