Any other information on results incl. tables

Precipitation of the test item was observed in all tester strains used in experiment I and II (with and without metabolic activation) on the agar plates with the unaided eye. In experiment I precipitation of the test item was found at a concentration of 1000 μg/plate and higher (with and without metabolic activation). In experiment II precipitation of the test item was found at a concentration of 316 μg/plate and higher (with and without metabolic activation).

No toxic effects of the test item were noted in any of the five tester strains used up to the highest dose group evaluated (with and without metabolic activation) in experiment I and II, with two exceptions: toxic effects of the test item were noted in experiment II in tester strain TA 1535 at concentrations of 2500 μg/plate and higher (with and without metabolic activation). The reduction in the number of revertants down to a mutation factor of 0.5 at a concentration of 316 μg/plate (with metabolic activation) was regarded as not biologically relevant due to lack of a dose-response relationship.

No biologically relevant increases in revertant colony numbers of any of the five tester strains were observed following treatment with Benzenesulfonamide at any concentration level, neither in the presence nor absence of metabolic activation in experiment I and II. The reference mutagens induced a distinct increase of revertant colonies indicating the validity of the experiments.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Interpretation of results (migrated information):
negative

It can be stated that during the described mutagenicity test and under the experimental conditions reported, Benzenesulfonamide did not cause gene mutations by base pair changes or frameshifts in the genome of the tester strains used.
Therefore, Benzenesulfonamide is considered to be non-mutagenic in this bacterial reverse mutation assay.
